the beat is cutting edge for its time, clearly composed by a true master. the lyrics are tugging at your heartstrings, without being pretentious or unapproachable. also there is some syncopation in the base line. the way that the modern groove is superimposed above the canon in D. the string section in the bridge provide an elegant contract to the rest of the composition. this is the work of a true pop god.
The only thing that sucks about that song is the underlying melody. I don't know who wrote it, but it's god-awful.

Uhh apparently the preview frame for that video has some sideboob. Do embedded youtube video preview windows cache like images do?
some people saw the trailer for House of Wax and were like
"jesus christ, that looks terrible, I'm not wasting my ten bucks on that shit"
I saw that trailer and was like
"jesus christ, that looks terrible, I need to get my buddies together and go see this piece of shit."
and when we see movies like this, 9/10 everyone else there was thinking the same thing when they went in and want to laugh and snark at it just as much, and if the crowd's going that route then I will too and I will with gusto.
There's different levels of cinema experience, duders. Some of y'all treat cinema like church and that's creepy!
But see, the entire theater isn't just "your buddies."
You have another option when you want to heckle a movie with your buddies. You buy it or rent it on DVD 2-3 months after the theater release. Then you sit in a room with your buddies and you do whatever the fuck you want while watching the movie. Laugh, cry, make jokes, substitute dialogue for your own version, scratch your ass, jerk off on the rug, whatever. But when you go to a movie theater with a bunch of people that aren't in your little circle jerk pandering to your clear need for attention, you really need to default into the most respectful behavior, which is shutting the hell up.
And the theater also isn't "Drez".
It's people. If people are being raucous and snarking at the awful movie and laughing, then I am too and I am enjoying myself in doing so. It all depends on the crowd. It's not enough for just like, me and my four buddies to be thinking that way, it has to be a tone that other strangers are setting too. It's a social current, and you have to be sensitive to those social currents and know how to pick up on them.
I don't know if there's a golden ratio for it, or a head count of how many people are swallowing their sarcasm or trying to muffle their guffaws before it makes it okay, it's more of a subtle vibe to the crowd.
I know crowds. I know how to work with a crowd, and how to work a crowd too, and I have a pretty good head for when some public behaviors are acceptable and others are not.
It's a thing you get a sense of as you watch the movie, and sometimes it doesn't go the way I like it and rather than trying to force it, I just leave. I've walked out of bad movies before because the crowd either didn't think it was as bad as I did, or weren't the sort of folk who react to bad movies that way. That's okay, I'll just head out rather than sit there biting my tongue.
However, people aren't universal and even if most of the movie was laughing and clapping and snarking along with Daybreakers, I'm sure some people weren't and were probably really annoyed that other people weren't being reverent of the sacrament of Their Ten Dollars.
In that case, those people can leave. It's a crowd experience, and if you don't like the crowd, rent a DVD.

I PM'd him about my last infraction where I didn't actually break any rules, according to how the rules are written down. He said he'd look into changing the wording to be more specific, which probably won't happen.
But yeah, I avoid mentioning that the internet can be used to download things. Or that download exists - all filthy lies.
That was my only thing. I can see why my post might not be a good thing, and wasn't going to argue about being infracted for it. I mean it's not too much of a leap that such a thing could lead to "I pirated ___ today" and someone else going "Really? I'll have to download that as well" and that's not really something to promote here.
On the other hand yeah, there is a big difference between how the piracy rule is written and how it is enforced. It would be cool if it was actually changed in the rules thread so this misunderstanding wouldn't happen.
Eh. Even Mike and Jerry talk about downloading cracked versions of games they buy to save on DRM hassle.
so are we gonna say that mike and jerry pirate, so can we?
No, I'm discussing the relevant difference between "You can get cracks and dvdrips at ____.com" and "yeah I saw Avatar on a screener but I'll probably still catch it in theaters for the 3D"
Pony, you said you shut up in Avatar because they enjoyed it
how about when you spoiled Avatar and said fuck those who like it?
then i was just being an asshole and was wrong for doing so and ate an infraction for it so
people aren't perfect

I fucking hate movie talkers.
I get that some people are church quiet even when the commercials are on, but seriously, I think of the movies like people thought of the theater. I pay a lot of good damned money to be there, and to be entertained, and not by some asshole who thinks he's the next Jerry fucking Seinfeld.
Also, get off your fucking phone, that bright light is just as distracting as your keypad beeps. Leave your fucking kid at home, or walk out of the movie. You have a kid, a whiny snot nosed kid that cries. You do not still have the same rights as the rest of us, and you're not entitled to stay there just because you paid good money like everyone else. It's called responsibility. You had the choice to have the kid, you deal with the consequences, and one of them is that if your kid starts crying you just lost 20 bucks for the movie. Sorry, better luck next time.
Finally, get your fucking feet off the back of the seats, especially when someone is sitting in front of you.

the difference is irrelevant because Tube is a dick about rules and never at fault
This reminds me of the time where I had to explain to my friend that illegally streaming stuff is just as illegal as illegally "downloading" stuff. Somehow he thought it didn't count if there wasn't a hardcopy on your harddrive at the end of the day.
There are sites where you just enter the name of some movie, get a youtube-like page and hit play.
As a Pirate Party member the legislation here interests me greatly. It's always the "downloading" part that's the crime, not the "watched without paying" part.
And how do you prove that I actually watched something? You'd have to access that site's server logs (if they kept any) and then match it to me by requesting IP address information from my ISP, and even then it's horribly hard to make something legally stick.
The Christian fundies at ECPAT demanded new legislation that made it illegal to watch child porn. Everyone, the police included, thought it was a horrible idea.
Possession of child porn is already criminal. The police said that they couldn't possibly act on someone calling and saying "this guy is watching kiddie porn" - they'd have to catch someone in flagrante delicto, otherwise it's just word against word - "he watched kiddie porn!" - "no I didn't! Prove it!" etc.
And personally I think it's totally barking up the wrong tree anyway - go after the people producing the godawful crap, not some random dude jerking off to it.
I think the sarcastic-asshole crowd is only matched in annoyance by Joss-Whedon-Fans-On-Opening-Night crowds, but for different reasons. Obviously. God, do I hate both.

Wait, are you saying that if there are a few people in the theater that don't like your jokes, but the rest of the people do, then they can leave? Or are you saying that if you can't make your jokes during a shitty movie you'll walk out.

You basically troll movies, in person. You walk into a movie theater (akin to a thread) and if people pay you the attention you crave you stick around, otherwise you leave and wait for some other movie theater (thread) to infest.
It doesn't really matter if 99% of the theater wants to jerk off on each other and throw tomatoes. The 1% that doesn't is still correct and the 99% of you not shutting the hell up are silly geese. And wrong. Right and wrong is not so malleable that whatever the mob decides is correct is thus automatically correct. That's a silly stance to take.
Look, a movie theater is for watching movies. If you want to do stand up comedy, go talk to the manager of a local bar or something. Or invite people to your home. If you want attention, I'm sure you can find it elsewhere instead of forcing people that don't want to listen to you to listen to you.

Headbanger's Journey was pretty decent, although I doubt I'd be able to take it seriously if I wasn't into metal already. There were a lot of little things in there that made me think "well shit, this guy actually does love his metal".

To me this game feels like progressquest, but with more people, and we can interact more directly with the game and with the other players
i like it a lot
