- discussion topic Just plain STUPID
- Comment I am absolutely on both sides of the art debate. On one hand, I prefer things with craftsmanship. I listen to noise, but noise the comes out of classical rather than out of jazz. I like abstract art, but things like Piet Mondrian leave me cold, and Andy Warhol just pisses me off (I didn't have ...

- Comment Odd. It's working when I edit the html from the main page on my local computer. Let me test something... ∞...nope, definitely not working. So the board doesn't use all standard html?

- discussion topic Video Games turned into movies
- Comment I do recall the Doom movie...a fantastically awful movie. Good for a late night with friends and drinks! And, of course, anything Uwe Boll gets his hands on. I particularly feel bad for the Alone In The Dark film. You can tell at the core of it, there was a pretty decent idea. However, it went ...

- discussion topic Video Games turned into movies
- Comment I'll admit, I'm a bit of a sucker for video game films...even when they're awful. And they usually are! Silent Hill is one of the better ones, for the reasons that DreamTheater stated...it's a fantastic adaptation of the atmosphere and themes of the game, but it tells it's own story. And that's ...

- Comment On a related note, anyone going to any of the Dead Can Dance reunion shows? I'd love to (and what I've heard of the new album is really great), but the closest one is Philly (6 hour drive or so), and it's a little too pricey. DCD were a huge influence on me and I love most of the stuff they've ...

- Comment [quote][b]Martijn wrote[/b] Josh, I'd say that especially the latest installment takes its cues way more from the late nineties, early 2000 Batman than the eighties' one. I for one would welcome a more eighties' approach with Miller bringing Batman back to his urban roots. But I do appreciate that ...

- Comment [quote][b]Erik Woods wrote[/b] Well, the comics themselves can get pretty damn serious. Dark, violent, edgy, etc. I like Nolan's interpretation of the material I just find that musically, the films deserve so much better![/quote] Agreed with this, 100% Nolan's films definitely pick up with the ...

That includes two of the four movements from the symphony (missing Ocarina and Link To The Past). By the looks of it though, everything on the CD was played. Looks like the CD is a little tough ...

Slight caveat; I am an obsessive Zelda fan (complete with Zelda tattoo!), which makes me likely to enjoy anything Zelda related. On the other hand, it makes me a pretty harsh ...

- Comment Okay, a basic primer in computer audio: There are three basic numbers to be aware of: the bits-per-sample, the sample rate and, with compressed audio, the compression bit rate. The sample rate tells you how fast the data is streaming, the bits-per-sample (or bit-depth) tells you how much ...

I'm continually impressed by a lot of what I hear.[/quote] Absolutely more freedom of expression, but on the other hand, the delicate art of shifting with the picture is lost (cut scene music ...

I haven't picked up the second album yet, though there's some great stuff on there. If I end up missing the Zelda symphony, hopefully ...

Not complaining about the walk so much as the lack of signs and the misleading signs. But, yeah, had the water, but the ...

- Comment I've got one! So I usually get a ride to and from work, but my girlfriend is visiting family in New York this week. So bus to work, and I figured I'd walk home because I need the exercise (it's about 3 miles, and I *should* be walking it every day). There's a nice trail along one of the rivers ...

That said, I always felt the tension in Aliens (of which there is a ton) does have more in common with action movie tension than horror movie tension. That said, it's ...

Convert it to 16bit/44.1khz sample rate, which is what audio cds are...better to have audio software to do the ...

My girlfriend's brother is getting married, so that should be fun (and it's very pretty there). We're also booking some regional shows for the band, so that'll give us occasional day-trips. But ...

- discussion topic Top TV Title Themes - any era
- Comment I have a particular fondness for cartoon themes. I own far too many compilations (and that mid-90s alterna-rock cover album was awesome). Most of them are not good music, but catchy and complex for as short as they are. But more recently, mention must be made of the Venture Bros. theme by J.G. ...

- Comment I've always had fun with a Star Trek movie, but never really liked the TV shows. After seeing the reboot, I thought I would give it (them) another chance, and I loved DS9, but still couldn't get into TOS or TNG. But the movies? Usually fun, and Wrath of Kahn is an absolute classic! Myself, I'm ...

- Comment I'm pretty curious about this as well. The original kicked off a life-long love of Scottish folk music, so I think it'd be hard to listen to this score without comparing to the original. And, of course, Christopher Lee singing (I read he has a cameo in the new film, but not enough time for a ...
