Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Sitars produce synchopated, distinct rhythms and complex melodys that can be hard to follow. Because Gemmill has been fitted with an electronic device regulating his heartbeat, he can only follow simple rhythm patterns, such as 4/4 or 3/4. He is unable to comprehend the more advanced rhythms involved in Indian music. Also, being a so-called accountant he is used to a materialistic lifestyle and doesn't like the sound of an instrument that is often played in mud huts and sewers. Edited April 21, 2012 by Kevin S.

Gemmill 34531 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Watched Part 2 of the Harrison documentary this morning. Really good stuff. Get it watched if you're remotely interested, and don't be put off by the length of it - amazing that you can watch a 3.5 hour documentary on someone's life and not be bored for a second.

PaddockLad 14609 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Cabin in the woods. Story is poor, no tension, but a classic b movie style romp. Funny in parts and decent effects without going ott on gore. It's basically modern Evil Dead with an extra 30 mins Saw it today...owes a bit to from dusk till dawn and the NZ slasher pic with the kung fu vicar iyam...monsters straight out of Buffy/Angel according to the missus, I think the writer and director are the same pair that produced the tv shows.

NJS 3981 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Saw it today...owes a bit to from dusk till dawn and the NZ slasher pic with the kung fu vicar iyam...monsters straight out of Buffy/Angel according to the missus, I think the writer and director are the same pair that produced the tv shows. Drew Goddard the director worked on the last seasons of Buffy and Angel as a writer ( some fantastic eps on both) and then moved on to Alias, 24 and Lost. He also wrote Cloverfield. Joss Whedon who wrote Cabin in the Woods was the main man on Buffy/Angel (and Firefly for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummiemag1 0 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Anyone seen Funny Games (US version) from 2007? I thought it was a terrific film, probably in my all time top 20. It was gripping, uncomfortable, realistic and horrific at times. 9/10 and would strongly recommend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
