    Steve Jobs (Danny Boyle) See this movie has created in me mixed feelings. Steve Jobs is now presented as a model in many areas with its paternalistic vision of the company. He has transformed Apple into a huge powerful conglomerate in the world, power that makes debate and subjects to various controversies about its data privacy policy (in others). The big success of Steve Jobs is even questioned. Is it deserved? Knowing that he obviously has never created anything by himself? I was more interrested by the director, Danny Boyle who I particularly like. Trainspotting, The Beach, 28 Days Later, Shunshine, Slumdog Millionaire, 127 hours, Trance ... movies that revealed a director with a particular style and quality. The movie is still bold and has more balls than Jobs out in 2013 with Ashton Kutcher. Here, the director focuses on three key events of the character: the launch of the Macintosh, his NEXT episode after leaving Apple and the lauching of iMac. A movie in three acts, composed entirely of dialogues in which we witness the glory but also (and perhaps especially) the failures of Steve Jobs. We tend to think that genius often hides a crazy hand in a person. That may be true. Steve Jobs was a fascinating character but at the same time a tyrannical leader who is unable to be kind and with disastrous relationships people around him. Michael Fassbender ensures well in the title role and once again confirms that he is a very good actor. I also appreciated Seth Rogen's performance, accustomed to comic roles with your pee-poo humor, this serious role (Steve Wozniak) was great. In short, a good tribute which like a "behind the scenes-movie" of Steve Jobs. Interesting nonetheless.

    I started to listen VK 10 years ago with bands like DIR EN GREY, D'espairsRay, D, lynch, RENTRER EN SOI, the GazettE, Kagerou, Plastic Tree, 12012, SUICIDE ALI, Phantasmagoria. Then, I fell in love with UNDERCODE PRODUCTION and I used to listen all of those bands and ex-bands of different members. I discovered old-school like this. I always wanted to listen more. I searched all bands that could exists. Then, there were 2010's and a lot of electro-pop-rock bands with colorful clothes, happy songs with a lot of effects and filters and stupid smiles. I think Visual Kei died at this moment. Nowadays, they are still a lot of bands like those but, in the same time, there a new trend : metalcore / djent. There are too many bands who do the same thing. When a new band formed, it's electro-pop-rock or metalcore/djent. Growing up, my tastes have changed too. Actually, I'm searching sincere music with a truly atmosphere. I love when musicians are skilled, yeah, but I love when they can create a sincere atmopshere. Originality is a good thing too. I like when musicians are able to create a world playing their music. This is something I can't find in Visual kei these days. So... I'm searching else were and I loose my big interest to this scene. However, I continue to follow some bands like Matenrou Opera, Kiryu, Ains' bands, DADAROMA, THE BLACK SWAN, Mediena or all of aie's project, kazu's project, Ryo's projects, etc. Visual Kei is dead. I mean this movement composed of sincere musicians, who love what they do and who are passionate about their music. On the other hand, Visual Kei is a business and it's not dead. The industry is well done. labels know what people want to listen and what people want to see. They are really good with their marketing policy. they can create a lot of (bad) bands who sounds exactly the same, promote them, and make them successful. Actually, Visual Kei creates bands with random inartistic musicians. it's not a problem. They are good looking and there is a sound producer who compose the music. On stage, they use back vocals, playback etc. but it's not really important because they are kawai and they are fun... Nowadays, Visual Kei is like a fast food. It's pretty enjoyable... good when you're listening to it. But...after few listenings, we are still "hungry". Because existing bands don't score as much former big bands with sincerity, originality etc. And to illustrate my opinion, here is a really interresting interview : http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/642314.html

    I'm watching Ajin actually and it's pretty amazing !
  6. Maybe, people who listen to DIR EN GREY are more... mature ?! I think this is a very good news for all of us but we don't need to post a comment with a lot of emoticons to say how excited we are. DIR EN GREY is a safe bet and we don't need to post how big is the hype to convince everyone
  7. I don't like their first single. This band looks and sounds like a big mess and it seems that they don't know how to look like and how to sound like.
