  1. Everything's said. Disappointment of the year.

     

    Biggest letdowns: The caterpillar doesn't blow smoke rings, and that tea party ain't no party at all. Where is the nonsense, the madness? Johnny Depp impersonates the Mad Hatter as though he were still rehearsing for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. A bleak fantasy movie, that is indeed what it is. Nothing special.

     

    Carroll's turning in his grave.

     

    ...and 3D totally sucks. I've got this kind of vision all day long, I don't need it in cinema. Good for me that I normally prefer movies where that doesn't make no sense anyway.

  2. Awesome! Thanks for hooking me up on this.

    This album is all that Techno was ever meant to be, it's filled with pure Techno to the gills, it's equipped with everything I've ever asked from Techno, it basically is the fucking embodiment of Techno. Screw the clubby cleanliness of your haughty Minimal crap, screw your fancy clubs and sparkling wine. This is nothing but Techno to the bone, everything else is useless trumpery. Oh yeah!

  3. What was so good about the movie though?

     

    It wasn't so good, but good. It was entertaining and the actors did a solid job. See, I don't always need complex storytelling in movies. Sometimes I just want some good ol' entertainment. Which is different from my attitude towards books. Thus I prefer a simplistic movie over a simplistic book. :)

  4. I remember a group called E-ON, or Eon, or e.on, or anything in that vein. They were a group of four or five people doing fantastic live-sets. Their video was huge on Isratrance, but I can't find anything...

     

    Does anybody remember??

     

    And another one: What happened to Peter Hollenbach aka Mahasuka aka Intact Instinct aka Disco Slickers aka Peak Pilots? His last release dates back to 2005...

  5. (...) 75% of the movie consisted of the main characters gaying it up in the forest. Boring! (...)

     

    :lol:

     

    Haven't seen the movie, and I never will! I'm rather proud of my immunity to public OMG'ness.

  6. It greatly depends on the book. Books that do not have deep literariness and big importance of subtext can be made into movies kinda lossless. Examples are "Requiem for a Dream (Hubert Selby, jr.)", "A Clockwork Orange (Anthony Burgess)", "In Cold Blood (Truman Capote)", and "One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest (Ken Kesey)". However, these are cases where the movie is just as good as the book; the only movie that I really like more than the book is the already mentioned "The Silence of the Lambs", and that is greatly owed to Sir Anthony Hopkins.

     

    In most cases, though, cinematic adaptions are mere rape of great material. For me, the prime example is Tom Tykwer assuming the right to adapt "The Perfume". Whereas it is one hell of a book, the movie is utter bullshit, because you just cannot catch the imaginery the book evokes with mere pictures (paradox, yes). The list goes on ad finitum.
