I would suggest the opposite. DI colour correction has gotten out of hand in the last few years, particularly with blockbusters. check out this article: http://theabyssgazes.blogspot.com/2010/03/teal-and-orange-hollywood-please-stop.html I must disagree with this, it's the color correction that mak...

Overall impression over the last 50 songs? Yikes, that's no mean feat. I do feel like I've gotten to know y'all a little better, for better and for worse. What would be interesting would be for all of us to maybe list our top 25 films of all time, and see if those whose musical taste we like share t...

Alright, time for impressions on this thread. Getting better all the time, folks, with most rounds having about 4 or 5 really good tracks, whcih is enough to cancel out the mediocre and downright bad. Again, Leetsu, you have won the round and my musical heart with your picks. Not a single bad pick i...

It was meant to tug on your emotions, in ever aspect, i mean they even went as far as to color correct the slaughtering scenes so that the red blood squirting out of the dolphins and the red blood in the water stands out clearer. Absolutely every documentary colour corrects, so don't think this is ...

Shrykespeare - Billy Idol, “Rebel Yell” (1984) - There's something fun about this song. But the problem is that Billy Idol never seemed to be about the music, it was about the style, the poses, the planned moves and snarls. As if he were acting LIKE a punk but not BEING one. Then again, that was th...

Shrykespeare: New Order, “Vanishing Point” (1989) - My general rule with New Order is the earlier the better. But I really liked the music to this one. Really nice. Might even be good on a driving trip. NSpan: Pixies, "Velouria” (1990) (also numbersix's #93) - Splendid pick, my favourite Pixies son...

BarcaRulz: The Frames, "Revelate" - I've been meaning to listen to some more of The Frames since watching Once a few months ago, and this was awesome. Maybe it's just me but I heard a little Pixies in there also. Maybe it's that Quiet/ Loud thing we've been hearing a lot about recently. Great stuff...

I'm cool with whatever the others want. 2, 3 days sounds fine.

Shrykespeare: Smash Mouth, “Fallen Horses” (1999) - Oh dear oh dear. The best I can say is that it's not as annoying as All Star, but what is? Instead, this is a frankly boring song that eventually grates. Nothing redeemable about it. I'm screaming into the night. NSpan: Pixies, "Hey” (1989) (also ...

Shrykespeare: XTC, “King For A Day” (1989) - Sorry Shryke, but I didn't like this much. I much prefer their earlier sound. This just sounded like a cover band of Paul Simon's 80s stuff. Lyrics aren't bad though. NSpan: The Kinks, "Death Of A Clown” (1967) - Yeah it wasn't a bad song, but it definit...

I agree. Tennant is considered the best Dr Who of all time after a recent poll. Can't say I agree, Tom Baxter was better, but you can't deny the popularity of Tennant, who was appealing. Not sure if people care beyond that though. Think he has a bit of a Sarah Micehlle Geller carrer in line unless h...
