TOOL - Aenima.

I haven't been to a lot of concerts. I mean, I'd like to see them. But my music taste is uhm, about the oposite of what my friends like. And going alone isn't that fun, I think. I went to see TOOL in concert with some collegues a couple of months ago though. That was, well, pretty freaking awesome. :)

Man, Andy's gonna get married. That's really cool. And I didn't really expected this. :P Good luck man! I'm happy for you! :)

Hmm, Graceland is amazing. One of my favorites. If I had to choose, I'd go for a Dylan one and I'd probably go for his BiographCD. It's a greatest hits CD, but it has got a lot of great live preformances and previously unreleased songs. I don't think Dylan fails on the vocals at all. In my opinion it makes the music even more special.

Marathon Man and The Game. Both were quite nice. I'm not much of a thriller fan though.

Hm, I don't think Hanks is that great. And I don't thinik the movies they've done together are very good; Saving Private Ryan and The Terminal. Catch me if you Can is quite alright though.

Ah, cool. Too bad you missed don't mug yourself then. I'd like to see both live. Pretty great line-up BTW. :o

I don't think he is overrated, but he isn't underrated either. He has got a lot of credit for his work. I agree with you on the mood subject, you can't put his movies on whenever you want. And it's a bad plan to keep a Tarkovski marathon. :P I watched them like, one every month/two months or something. His movies have got a lot to offer, but on the age of 13 those things are probably hard to recognize, due to his way of directing. Have you seen Bergman's work as well? If you're into Tarkovski I think you'll enjoy his movies as well. :)

How were Dizzy Rascal and the Streets?

You thought correctly. :)

One of the greatest ever. :) Shouldn't be too hard.

See everybody? Indy liked it as well! Go see it! :D

Inside of Emptiness by Frusciante. Oh, and if you wanted an answer on the zep one: Presence. [edit] the zep one was already answered. >.>

Boy: Max or Sam/Sep Girl: Pien (it's a dutch/belgian name), maybe Iris. :)

Firefly Hmm, what a cool series! I fell in love with Serenity, Mal and his crew right away. It's so funny, and I'm loving all the genre combinations. Too bad it has been cancelled. I can't really see why, or maybe I can, but I'm not sure if that's the reason. It never really got anywhere, while it had so much potential. And that's really too bad. Because it's a lot of fun to watch, but it's a lot of the same as well. Sill I enjoyed the series a lot, and too bad I won't see any more of them. Serenity So, after the series, I wanted to see the movie right away. But I was a little bit dissapointed. There wasn't much left of the genre mix I loved so much, not much western influences anymore, ditched the great score (except for the ending titles), and well, a little of the magic went down. Because of it being a lot darker and all, less humor etc. I still thought it was a quality movie, which looked very nice (though the damn lighting was annoyig at some moments), and it was pretty exciting at some points as well. I just thought it didn't really follow the series well, style wise. Jurassic Park One of Spielberg's best. He's pressing the limits once more on special effects. But the entire concept of reviving Dinasaurs, like controlling them etc. is very nice as well. And well, all the marketing tricks in the movie itself are quite clever as well. Though it can be seen as a critique as well. And of course I'm totally diggin' the score, and childhood memories are always good. Hmm, just imagine that you would be one of the first to make a movie like this. It must have been awesome. The Lost World: Jurassic Park Where part one was really good. This one has a lot less to offer, and well, kind of drags on with a lot of pointless scenes. At some moments still entertaining though. Thanks to Jeff Goldblum. But overall it's pretty average. A typical sequel. Did I already say that you all should go see BRICK?

Heard of the man, never heard the music. Thanks for the informative post. I'll look something up at work this sunday, check it out and try to give an opinion! :)

ISketch is cool! So is Pool! I vote for those. :)

oOh, Narnia is looking great, rick. BTW Rick. You might have some problems getting the Schindler's List out of the box. But you need to open the front thing first (the one that goes open with the sticky thing) and then you can get the digipack out. Otherwise it doesn't go out and you'll damage the cases to get it out. just ordered:

Milos Forman underrated? In your dreams maybe. :P Stanley Kubrick Sure, you all know him. But of course he needs to be mentioned as he got me started in watching movies the way I do now. All his movies I have seen (with exception of Fear and Desire because it isn't available) are atleast good. There isn't one that's only average. Which isn't that weird, as he wanted to make the best movie, of every genre. In the end he didn't get the best in any genre (sci-fi being the exception), but all his movies are up there in the top of their genre. Which makes him one of the most diverse directors. Recommendations: 2001: A Space Odyssey A Clockwork Orange Paths of Glory The Shining Federico Fellini Perhaps my favorite Italian director. Started out writing for the big neo-realist directors with his breaktrough being Rossellini's Rome, citta aperta (rome open city). In the earlt fifties he started making his own movies, I Vitteloni becomming his first success, and he made other semi new relalist movies. In the 60s he started, just as many other Itallian directors, his own style. His more autobiographical movies with childhood memories, dreams, halucinations. With 8ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâý being the best example, and IMO his best movie. From his later work (everything after Amarcord) I haven't seen anything, so I wouldn't be able to judge that. :). He also had an almost life-long collaboration with Nino Rota (who you probably know from the Godfatherscore), be sure to check out his scores as well. :) Recommendations 8ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâý La Dolce Vita Amarcord La Strada David Lynch - One of the more interesting American directors of his generation. With him being a little bit more experimental and more focussed on making quality movies than making a good box-office deal. And being one of the few modern and succesful directors making abstract/surreal movies. He started out with Eraserhead, which is probably his most surreal movie, but perhaps the least lynch movie (compared to his other work). Clear influence from BuÃÆÃâÃâñuel is seen, as in more of his movies. But unlike other movies Eraserhead doesn't have much form, he's still struggling with himself. Later he has found more balance and his movies became more for a wider audience. Recommendations: Eraserhead The Elephant Man Blue Velvet Mulholland Dr. Jean-Luc Godard - Perhaps the most influential director of the 60s. Starting out in the 50s with the cahiers du cinema giving a whole new dimension on being a movie critic, giving a whole new definition of cinema. And it didn't stay with words, they started to make movies, to show they really could do it differently. This is a very brief description on how the Nouvelle Vague (The French new-wave) got started. It started with Melville making a start, then Chabrol with the real first new wave, and Truffaut making the first succesfull one. But then came Godard, with A BOUT DE SOUFFLE, mixing everything making the weirdest genre cocktails, inventing strange cuts that had never been done before and adding a lot of critic on society. He continued making new-wave movies till '67 when he made Week-End. After that he went more into politics, making obscure documentaries that barely got any notice. And every now and then he made a movie, some considered good, others crap. If you want to compare Godard to a modern director it's deff. Tarantino. Both introducing a new style of filmmaking, both mixing so much genres, both excellent writers and both have "cool" dripping all over their movies. Recommendations: A Bout de Souffle Le Mepris Pierrot le fou Bande A part (Rings a bell? ;)) Alphaville Yasujiro Ozu Is probably my favorite Japanese director. With his on first sight simple (but technically pretty complicated) chamber-dramas, capturing a lot of different familiy relations in every part of life. All set in Japanese culture. Later on he combined that with the westernization of Japanese culture. His movies are never fast paced. They're always rather slow, but not boring. It's an emotionally strong tour and pretty interesting look on Japanese culture and they all deal with situations you will encounter as well. Recommendations: Banshun (his best IMO) Tokyo Monogatari BakushÃÆÃâÃâû Ukigusa (the '34 version and his '59 remake) Andrei Tarkovsky is probably the least accesable director of this list. Not because his movies are hard to get, but because his movies are, well, you need some patience for it. As they're all having extremely long and uncut shots, long silences you name it. So you need to be a kind of 'experienced' watcher for his movies. And then not experienced as in, I go to the cinema three times a month to see the new blockbusters. Because then you will not enjoy it (well, you could, if you're interested, but generally when you do these kind of things, you're not). His movies have another purpose. He doesn't really works with a plot, atleast, the plot is of less-importance than the meaning of his movie. Bringing life-questions to the screen in almost poetical shots, everything composed to evoke the deepest emotions. But it's not like his movies are for snobs, or the so called 'intellectuals'. His movies are for everybody, the simplest man out there can do something with it. All you need is the patience and interest. If you're interested in Tarkovski and his movies the book Sculpting in Time is also an interesting read. :) Recommendations: Stalker (IMO his best) Nostalgia Solyaris Andrey Rublyov Steven Spielberg Probably the most complete director America has ever known. He basically is the inventor of the blockbuster, with Jaws. Taking special effects to the next level, Jurassic Park. Making the movies a day out for the entire family, E.T. I don't think there's any director with the same eye for commerce as he has, but still stays true to the art, Schindler's List. Recommendations: Jaws Schindler's List Indian Jones Trilogy E.T. That's it for now. Will do some more later, I think. Oh, don't nail me down on a mistake here and there. Didn't do research to look up if everything was correct. [edit] took out some spelling mistakes in the Godard part, as it was pretty hard to read. I was rushing it a bit. [edit]2 I took out Playtime at the Godard part. As Godard had nothiung to do with it. Tati made that of course. :P Still worth checking out of course. And I put Pierrot le fou instead of it.

But that only helps like, directly after the burning.I find for slightly more painful burns (still 1st degree) that remain painful for some hours, holding it under running water (or submersing it in cold water) continues to relieve pain, even if it doesn't help the burn itself. Yea, true. It cools things down a bit. But doesn't help the burn. That was it. :)

But that only helps like, directly after the burning.

Ignore the pain. Take it like a real man.

Chorus yea, Eminem wrote his own lyrics.

Heh, I always need to laugh when I say Hoppipolla out loud. :P
