Enforcer84 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 It's kind of weird, now that I suddenly figured out it's her I feel kind of foolish for taking so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I haven't had any random re-encounters from my peripatetic early life, despite lots of potentials for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I haven't had any random re-encounters from my priapic early life, either. I said what? L. Marcus and tkdguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Every time I have a random re-encounter from my early life (peripatetic or otherwise), I soon remember why we lost touch in the first place. Burrito Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 They are remaking The Magnificent Seven. Cue the flame wars ! Wasn't the Magnificent Seven just a genre-bending remake of the Seven Samurai? A remake of a remake? I am shocked, shocked to find derivative material in Hollywood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven can be appreciated as different takes on the same story. Not everyone will have seen Seven Samurai but may be aware of it. However when something is really good you should not try and remake it cf The Posideon Adventure. This is the path to the dark side. They may even attempt to remake The Twilight Saga...... Burrito Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usu. just skip remakes of films I like. They aren't worth grinding one's teeth over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I've found a remix of And Justice For All where they added the bass back in.... it's like... it's like a religious experience. Is there a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know the bass was taken out in the first place. I'll have to go do some listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Why'd they remove the bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Because Lars is either an idiot or a dick. But then again, the album seemed to do reasonably well, so perhaps I am the idiot. Problem with the remixes is that while now we can hear Jason, there's still no bass in anyone else's instruments, especially Lars' kick.

death tribble Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Then I think about the remake of King Kong, which was a fantastic film. There were two remakes. Are you thinking of the one with Jack Black or the one with Jeff Bridges ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 There were two remakes. Are you thinking of the one with Jack Black or the one with Jeff Bridges ? The "My God, its as long as Ghandi!" remake made in 2005. L. Marcus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Next year's musicals at my school are "Mary Poppins" and "Aida". Interesting. (Why do we need two musicals? I have no idea.) Probably because that's where the money is. Musicals put asses in seats, as my old director used to say. They make the budget that allows a theater to do the other things that don't draw an audience but are well worth doing. Plus, they usually have the big cast that will get everyone on stage.

Cancer Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 In other words, musicals are to theatre what pineapple is to pizza. There are large numbers of deluded tasteless fools who like it, so those with intelligence and discerning palates get trodden under the heels of the vacuous masses for the sake of filthy luchre.
