Classic Tyler quote

ron — Thur, 12 Nov 2009 17:06:11 GMT

By now, everyone knows Aerosmith is up in the air...just so many rumors out there.
I did hear on the radio that Tyler went on stage to sing "Walk this way" with Joe Perry the other night...not sure where this was.
So he wanted to squash the rumors on him quitting but he goes "Joe , you are a man of many colors but I am the rainbow"
Any interpretation would be appreciated

The Box review

ron — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:57:13 GMT

This movie was much more about pushing a button on a box and receiving money in place of a person somewhere in the world dying. It got into other areas like science fiction, religion, etc so it took some strange turns. It started out slow but picked up a lot of speed midway. It was one of those movies that you need to see twice to catch everything it was trying to say, but you certainly could understand it seeing it once.
I would give it a C+ overall.

For those who love AOR music, this is the 2nd & 3rd 4 star review I have read for this new release. Worth buying maybe.

Paranormal Activity

ratattack1 — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:27:59 GMT

So, anyone else see this yet?? I LOVE the paranormal stuff, and this was good, but not jump outta your seat good, like the commercials, come on....Actually, since I really like the supernatural and have followed up on stuff for like 15 years or more, I thought it was a bit unbelievable...in terms of the way they approached it, especially HER....

But I DID get the chills, many times.....Maybe I was waiting for something SO SCARY, I'd talked myself out of actually GETTING scared. Anyway, worth a rental.....

Good story though, and since I really believe that stuff is possible, THAT'S what made it good.....

Is it just me...?

Or has Family Guy really hit the fan lately? I used to love it, but now it's either very-offensive toward Christians in untrue or pointless ways, or just plain not funny. I've heard other people (not on the forum) say this too, but I was wondering if anyone else agrees with me.

"Fool in the rain" vs "Rosanna" beat...interesting

ron — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:21:41 GMT

Looks like Jeff Pocaro took some of Bonham's master shuffle beat from "Fool in the rain" for "Rosanna"
here is the "Fool in the rain" shuffle beat

Milk

buffypython — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:33:08 GMT

An excellent source of calcium! Oh, wait, ... the other Milk.

I just saw this movie on HBO Saturday night. I didn't have high hopes for it(gay Sean Penn seemed odd to me), but there was nothing else on so I watched it. It was great! Mind you, there are a few sort of sex-scenes in it (butt-slapping to be more precise) with James Franco and Penn () but it's a very informed and touching movie. There's actually a good plot behind it and it's pretty easy to understand. From the very beginning, you're told basically what'll happen in the end. Some moments smelled a bit of "this-didn't-actually-happen-in-Milk's-life-&-was-just-added-for-emotion" but I don't know anything about Harvey Milk's life except for what the movie told me, so I can't be completely objective.

There are occassionally actual news clips of news coverage from the 70s of the gay rights movement in America, with Sean Penn added in a-la Forrest Gump.

I was surprized to see a guy from High School Musical in it (the brother of Ashley Tisdale) but he didn't have a huge part. I think just about anyone who isn't absolutely against being gay would like this movie. Even I, a person who isn't entirely sure what to think about some gay rights, was touched and moved by Milk. I'd recommend it to anyone, except the kids (butt-slapping and vulgarities abound).

Did anyone else see this?

Lyric Switcheroos

buffypython — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:50:51 GMT

I've seen this a whole lot with Bo Rhap, but I figure other songs get this royal treatment, too. Basically what happens is that a song's lyrics are changed (occassionally keeping some of the same word endings) to fit a genre, series, etc. I was wondering if anyone has any good examples of this, created by oneself or someone else.

In case anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, I've provided an example: http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=10098 Note how some of the words are either pretty much the same (Mummy instead of Momma) or rhyme with the original word (overtime instead of all the time). There's probably a hundred of these out in the ether.

Has anyone seen examples of lyric-switching in other songs?

Law abiding citizen- review

ron — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:00:29 GMT

Thought this movie was very good. There wasn't 1 part where I was bored as it had constant action and you didn't know what was coming and when. It was basically about a guy (Gerard Butler) who watched his wife and daughter get killed and went on a rampage to get revenge against the killers and the law itself for letting 1 of the killers go free. Some parts were pretty gory so not for the faint of heart. I would definitely recommend it...I give it an A-

Lyrical Connections Game

buffypython — Thur, 22 Oct 2009 19:34:25 GMT

Just figured I'd spice up the game-market. In this game, you post part of the lyrics of 1 song and the next person connects the last part of those lyrics with another song's lyrics and so on. I'm not sure how easy/hard this is going to be, but I think it might be fun.

For example:
We Are The Champions/Innuendo
"We are the champions my friend/ And we'll keep on fighting til the end of time/ Through the sorrow all through our splendour/ Don't take offence at my innuendo."

The 1st, red lyrics that weren't the same were from... well, duh. Once I get to the lyrics that are the same in both songs, I put those lyrics in purple. Then, the 2nd, blue lyrics that weren't the same were from Innuendo by Queen.

You can pick whatever colors you want, but I think it's best to use different colors for different parts to let people know where the connection is, in case someone doesn't know the lyrics. Try to put the name of both songs either before or after the lyrics.

Let me know if this sounds like a good game or not.
