So for me I relate music with visuals. -
Quote:Wow, that actually sounds pretty amazing, if done well. I love **** like that (Read that in Chris Rock's voice and you'll get the level of enthusiasm). Honestly, if you hadn't used this description, I probably wouldn't have given it a chance. If I were in front of you now, I'd shake that hand. I'd shake the **** out of that hand.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
The show is hilarious, but in a very subversively dark way. It pretends constantly to be a happy, bright show about singing and underdog victories, but it's really a show about the desperation of the common person once they realize their irrelevancy. The entire show is petty and small, which is the grim tragedy of it all: These characters don't matter. Not even in the world crafted for them.
I guess I should have clarified. I was speaking of the modern institution of music.When I say that, I guess in short, I mean "pandering to the Soulja Boi, Ke$ha audience", not to say anything negative about one's subjective musical tastes, or even the artistic merit of the artists themselves. I hope that clears it up, since that discussion isn't one I really want to have here. If anyone cares (you probably don't), PM me sometime. (All I do is worry about you all, and you don't even call me. I get lonely sometimes.)Quote:Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
Also, for Season 2 and the first half of Season 1, the music pretty much makes sense. It has a context, isn't abused, and actually adds to the story. I don't know what you mean by "Modern", but the show does music of almost all genres going back to the 80's. Showtunes, rock, rap, country, pop... you name it, they've done it. I admit that it's still a bit myopic to say "Popular music in the last two decades of American Culture", but they've explicitly stated an intention to open up their own horizons in Season 2. -
I didn't hate that. (And I hate a lot of things.)

So I guess this is the best place to ask if I should start watching this show. Before anyone answers, I'm not really a fan(institutionally speaking) of the directions modern music and television are going these days(Yeah, I'm one of those guys), but I have really liked a few of the covers I've heard from the show. I guess what I'm asking is, what is the main appeal of the show for you? A general "you", not directed at anyone in particular.
I can get my share of the music elsewhere, so if that's the best part about it, I'll probably pass. But I have heard the word that the show's really funny. Like "laugh out loud" funny, or that charming, feel good kind of funny? I hope what I'm trying to articulate there makes sense. -
Quote:While I may not necessarily agree with what was said, it was a good point. It's not like we know his true intentions. Maybe he was planning to backflip out the driver's door, jump through the incoming car's windshield, and knife the driver in the jugular (I mean, that's just what I would have done), which would have only been slightly less cool.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
You speak knowledge but not wisdom. I don't understand your apparent imperative to deprive people of a benign good will.

I rate it a spectacular accomplishment in filmography in terms of the massive rigs that were constructed to accomplish it. Nolan definately establishes himself as a director with huge cojones by pulling of what he did, and I seriously hope he gets an Oscar nom for it.

Quote:And to be honest, I personally don't feel the scenes being spoken of in Inception would be hard to top in terms of spectacularity, especially when dealing with superpowered characters.Originally Posted by PowerStream
I would hope he'd look at Inception (which I haven't seen yet and am very mad at life right now for that) and instead of saying "OMG they did that already, I CAN'T do that!" I'd prefer he said "Hey they did an awesome job on that and now I need to put my spin on it and TOP it!"

Oh and by the way, power description would be nice. It's not something I'd execute you slowly for, but you might get a odd/dirty look that makes you wonder if I really care(or like you)from me every time we converse. Just...puttin' that out there.
