So I guess I'm at this point too late to suggest the title:
"Captn' Skusting's art Deek-o period."

That bear suit looks like that car/robot thing of the Citroen (?) advert, with the music of Jacques Your Body:Make Me Sweat.

It's hard not to love a program with the title of that which I am watching now. Hitler: The Comedy Years. An irreverent look at the world's most evil man. Complete with a raising Nazy arm to rate how funny each part is.

The smart ones use the label ¨insane¨ to their advantage and score some sweet drugs from psychiatrists. Or they write philosophy, whatever.

I watched Primer for the second time and I just ¨got¨ a few timelines. At least, I think I did.  :hmpf:

Yeah... they definitely enjoyed witholding information and only giving it to you in a weird way for that one; subsequently, part of that movie was actually filmed at my university.  I think I liked Aaron 2 best.  :D

ABC brings us the comedy series of the year!

(Bitter, biting sarcasm)

"Caveman": Hats off to the Geico Cavemen ad writers for making it look like
selling this TV show is a piece of cake. The new single-camera comedy will
explore a minority largely ignored across the world: the cave man. Two
brothers and one best friend, described as sophisticated cave dudes living
in modern-day Atlanta, will continually find themselves at odds with
contemporary society and thus comment on today's race relations.

I just got home from playing a private house party type gig....it wasn't bad considering the power went out twice in the last set (possibly from the number of leads and double adaptors we had coming out of the one powerboard heh) and the high amount of smoke in the air from people err "smoking"

Yes, yes not a bad night....

I recorded some music in new years 03/04. We had so many things plugged in - guitar amps, computer, freezer, etc. that when someone boiled a kettle the power went out. Ah, good times.

The one thing I´m most perplexed about in the film Primer is the scene where Aaron and Abe are in the car, Abe is on the phone and then Aaron gets out of the car suddenly and then it leads to the back yard of the house.

Why did he get out of the car?! What the hell happened in the back yard? Was there another Aaron in the back yard? Was the 1st Abe running through the back yards prior to this scene?

winna, help a brother out! It´s most likely the simplest scene in the film but I just said out-loud ¨HUH?!  :hmpf:   :hmpf: ¨

If I remember correctly.... and it's been a few months since I've seen the movie, although we did debate it in its entirety for an extended period of time: they get out of the car because they see that one person's dad (one of the girl's they're affiliated with whom they were trying to use as a business contact) in a car behind them, possibly following them.  The idea was that they'd seen him earlier, but now he looks older (rugged facial hair) and they believe him to have found the time machines in one of the timelines one of the two went through and they're going to proceed to talk to him.  They chase him to the backyard where he collapses from some illness, inferred to be caused by travelling through time too often (it causes brain damage).  If you watch the movie enough times (approximately 27 times within 14 hours, you actually need one of their time machines to accomplish this btw) you'll eventually piece together information that suggests that Abe told the father (I think it was Abe's girlfriend's father... or something to that extent) because there would be problems at the party and the father had travelled back in time to do something about that.  Note that the Abe and Aaron who chase him down to the backyard are not the ones that told the father about their invention - you have to presume a future Abe had already done this.

I'm sure that's a very confusing explanation, but if you keep it in mind and probably watch the movie again, it'll make a little more sense.

I'd recommend the movie to anyone who likes science fiction thrillers and/or movies that lie within realism; ie... there's no made-up scientific jargon gobbledy-goop within this film.  It's all essentially written from a true science industry viewpoint - the writer went to great lengths to make it seem realistic, instead of making up stuff, which I applaude.

Hope that helps  :D

Have you seen the movie?   :rolleyes:

I rest my case.  Unless you somehow have seen the movie and worked the IT/production industry.  Also, I'm angry that you guys are forcing me to reply to your posts after a night of forcefully constant drinking.  I'm looking at you! ¬_¬

This post edited 5000milliontrillion times by winna because he had to go over it this many times because he had to edit this post in the middle of a  conversation about working at a lan center and playing wow while he was inexoricably [drujnk].... Thanks

Nope, I haven't seen the film. I have worked on films/ written/ filmed/ studied film though. But that's beside the point. If you need to watch the film one million times to understand it, it's probably going to be incredibly wanky.

Am I the only person that has seen that episode of Family Guy where they cut to that student film with Diane Simmons starring, and the clown, and the pancake?

If you haven't seen the film, I doubt you can truly judge the film, despite your extensive knowledge in the subject.  I will however, agree that the creator of Primer took liberty, not in the correct direction, in providing information pivotal in the plot in such a way that it was difficult to comprehend for the average or even intelligent viewer.  I suspect this was because he wanted replay value for his movie, but, despite that, everything in the movie is actually straightforward, if not presented at first glance as such.  And you're really mean Rach to make [drujnk] me suggest you watch the film before you make such rash judgements about the subject itself.   :(

I'm crying inside...

Anyway, I tend to disregard any comment in regards to a film from a person who has not seen it before-hand or one that has the stance ¨I´ve been in the game.. I know the rules¨... I let them be to wallow in their own filth.

They scare me. I don't particularly like anything thats dressed up in a costume. Makes them seem soulless, not like the cute character you used to watch on screen.

My mum dressed up as Po once (from the Teletubbies, I have no idea how she got roped into it). That put the shits up me, proper.

Upon reading that, I had the sudden image of a giant Po holding a struggling person down, and cramming them full of shit. All the other teletubbies are standing around. Finally, the person bursts, and they all say "again, again!"

Creepy. I don't know what's worse, the thought or the fact that my brain produced it.

iF: When will you know if you’re going to have a second batch of FUTURAMA episodes?

GROENING: Probably not until 2008. Maybe somebody will get inspired, but we are doing these four movies and sixteen episodes and that’s good. It’s a good start.

So there may be the possibility beyond these 16 eps/4 movies?

I assume so, if a show like Family Guy is any indication.

If the DVDs sell well and the new episodes of Comedy Central get good ratings, it's a definite possibility.

I've used that sort of logic on the possibility of getting Firefly back... The DVDs have sold well enough to warrant a special edition, and various other boundaries have been broken by persistant fans (a feature film out of the blue, eh?).

Sometimes I find myself agreeing with you, Robbins. It's scary stuff. Movies don't have to get dealt and done with in the allotted running time.

...but then again, everybody knows people only watch these movies so they can pretend to be smartier and artier-than-thou in front of people who watch Scream 7 and Asia Trip.

You mean you HAVEN'T just seen a preview for a film and went "nah" based on it alone?

I don't need to see, say, My Super Ex-Girlfriend to know that I'd be bored out of my mind by a bland, pedestrian comedy. Is this arrogance, or have I just watched enough films to know what to pick from trailers and the like?

Point is, I've never heard of that film. Though anything I'd have to watch more than once would annoy me. And then I'd just be back to watching Versus again.

Oh hell yes, many many times. Pretty much anything that comes under the genre of teen comedy or romantic movie gets ditched immediately. I'm more of an art house movie fan so I can be an elitist and more importantly watch films that are totally fucked up. Extra points for being in a foreign language.
