  1. Just ordered these;

     

    Dir en grey - A Knot Of DVD

    Merry - Nu Chemical Rhetoric CD

    Alice Nine - Alpha CD & DVD

    Kemuri - 77 Days CD

    Jay Z & Kanye West - Watch The Throne CD

     

    I don't even like Alice Nine and I've never listened to Kemuri (I think they're some sort of ska punk) but all of those were 1,90 € each so I had to buy :P


  2. Masterpiece! I cannot describe how much I love that film and how bloody amazing it is.

     

    Also, you've probably seen this film, but Chinatown is recommended and if you've not seen it you should watch it asap. It's another fantastic noir-flick.

     

    I've seen Chinatown but it's been a long time. I have to watch it again.

     

    I love noir films but I'm still a beginner in that area, haha. I've seen some famous ones but if you have any more suggestions I'd love to hear them.


  3. L.A. Confidential - Quite good and stylish neo-noir film in which the characters are the best thing. All 3 main characters played by Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce and Kevin Spacey were great.

     

    Like Father, Like Son - Main character finds out that his 6 years old boy isn't actually his but has been swapped at birth and his real son has been raised by another family. Pretty simple plot but so complicated situation. The cast did a good job, I especially liked the little kid. Very thought-provoking even if you're not a parent yourself.

     

    Cold Eyes - Solid crime thriller about a special surveillance team tracking down a smart criminal and his gang. It managed to keep me interested the whole 2 hours and that is the most important thing in thrillers. This film is actually a remake of Johnnie To's Eye in the Sky and To even makes a funny cameo.


  4. That 9GBO song is good, indeed.

     

    1. Pantera - Hollow
    2. Samhain - Black Dream
    3. The Kinks - I'm Not Like Everybody Else
    4. the god and death stars - ロカ
    5. Propagandhi - A Speculative Fiction
    6. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - River Styx
    7. 12012 - LAST TRAIN
    8. PENICILLIN - GLAMOR VETTE
    9. ONE OK ROCK - 恋ノアイボウ心ノクピド
    10. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Wrote A Song For Everybody

     

    not really feeling any of these right now but tgads is one of my favorite bands so I choose their song.


  5. I've been without the internet for a week so I only watched movies, I'm too lazy to say anything about them at the moment except my rating and maybe a few words.

     

    Hachiko - 9/10

     

    Moneyball - 8/10

     

    Fucking Åmål - 6/10

     

    Strangers on a Train - 6/10 - I thought this whole movie would happen in a train so I was disappointed.

     

    Stake Land - 7/10

     

    The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman - 7/10 - Evan Rachel Wood sexy as always!

     

    The Rover - 6/10

     

    Slumdog Millionaire - 7/10

     

    Stoker - 8/10 - this is the second time i watched this one.

     

    Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter ...and Spring - 7/10

     

    Suicide Club - 7/10 - I'm not sure if they explained everything in this movie, might have to watch it again sometime. I have some sort of theory what happened.

     

    The Wanderers - 9/10 - funny film, awesome music and so on.


  6. I like D'erlanger and that's a great song. I had to listen to it before making my list.


    1. 椎名林檎 - 旬
    2. Huckleberry Finn - A
    3. Kid Cudi - The Mood
    4. m.o.v.e - Monster Amplifier
    5. The Hives - Go Right Ahead
    6. Down - Temptation's Wings
    7. 浅井健一 - はかない命
    8. System Of A Down - Bubbles
    9. Crystal Lake - Twisted Fate
    10. The Back Horn - 雨

     

    pretty mediocre list but kenichi asai and the back horn saved it.


  7. The Kingdom Of Dreams And Madness

     

    A documentary about Miyazaki Hayao and the making of Studio Ghibli's anime film The Wind Rises. I'm not even a big Ghibli fan but I've always thought that Miyazaki is an interesting person. He's a perfectionist, strict and has a clear vision of what he wants from his films, but he's also very down to earth person with wonderful sense of humor, not caring about fame and fortune. It was great to hear his thoughts. The documentary also touches briefly the WWII and Fukushima nuclear disaster.


  8.  Is being called just a singer any less respectable than being refered to as a vocalist (vice versa)?

    Vocalist does sound more professional and singer can be used about pretty much anybody but no, they're both as respectable.

     

    Is being a vocalist more of an appropriate term for an extremely talented singer, or do we just call them singers?

    It's not a question of talent what term to use. Vocalists don't have to be good at what they do to be called vocalists. There's shitty ones too. Same thing with singers. I agree what someone said that vocalists are members of band and singers are often solo artists
