Inspiration.

Inspiration for what?

Art.

Oh, and to pre-emptively cover the inevitable “What kind of art?” question:

• Paintings
• Drawings
• Etchings
• Engravings
• Sculpture
• Prose
• Poetry
• Filmmaking
• Music

And many, many, many more possibilities that don’t even come to mind as of this moment.

Another reason we don’t like Palpatine with a lightsaber is because he should be beyond the need for a melee weapon.

I feel a majority of this would have been solved if Sidious had a Sith Sword.

Sith swords are too good for the prequels.

Well, Thrawn was made into something of an anti-hero/anti-villain in later books, so that could certainly end up happening in Rebels, too.

What on Earth did China object to in the film?

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ghostbusters-denied-release-china-910563

China’s official censorship guidelines technically prohibit movies that “promote cults or superstition” — a holdover from the Communist Party’s secular ideology — and the country’s regulators occasionally have been known to use this obscure provision as rationale for banning films that feature ghosts or supernatural beings in a semi-realistic way (Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest suffered such a fate in 2006, thanks to its depictions of ghouls and cannibalism).

The original Bill Murray-starring 1984 classic, which never screened theatrically in China,

“It’s been confirmed that Ghostbusters won’t be coming to China, because they think it’s not really that attractive to Chinese audiences,” says one Chinese executive. “Most of the Chinese audience didn’t see the first and second movies, so they don’t think there’s much market for it here.”

I wish some hungry ghosts would come forth and swallow the Communist Party whole.

Would you rather be fluent in every language or be able to play every instrument?

As cromulent as it would be to be omnilingual, I really wanna learn how to play the sax, the banjo, and the theremin, so I’ll have to go with Door #2.

Well, I am, and will not stop posting until I get a real answer.

Sorry, Fox Mulder, but the truth is not in here.

• In the first one, you cut too much between the two songs, creating an unnatural effect. When it sounded to me that you were playing the two songs at once, the rhymes of the two songs just didn’t match up. I might give this one a 4/10.

Well, that was kind of deliberate. I wanted to make a straightforward mashup of the two songs, but I wasn’t able to get a hold of any acapella versions of either (and you need acapellas if you want to make a proper mashup). So, incredibly frustrated, I made this hackjob, knowing it would sound horrible, eliciting the same emotions I felt at the time.

• Album art: Looks like it was done in Microsoft Paint. Please scrap it. 3/10.

LOL. Again, that was deliberate.

Some dreams are nonsense, but I think that all dreams have value. Even if just in an Un Chien Andalou sort of way.

Which is an awesome movie, BTW.

After much consideration, I’ve decided to become a musician – specifically an avant-garde musician, one who’ll specialize in music that’ll alienate all but a select few people.

I’m planning on eventually doing some original works, but so far I’ve created two sound collages out of pre-existing songs (I’d say mashups, but, well, they’re nowhere near that flawlessly crafted):

• Tommy & Tiffany Think They’re Alone Now
• Yzarc 2 Yzarc

So, what do y’all think? Do I have what it takes to invert music as we know it?

That’s 'cause the present sucks.

I’ve said it before, I’m saying it again: I really wish dream-recording technology was available.

Why would you want such a thing? Just for entertainment?

Why did Salvador Dali paint his paintings? Why did M.C. Escher etch his woodcuts?

It just doesn’t seem that there would be much to gain from a recording of a dream.

There doesn’t seem to be much to gain from collecting stamps, but people do it and I for one am not one for questioning their hobby.

As a person who rarely remembers his dreams (and when I do, they’re generally incredibly mundane), I can never believe that people remember their dreams with all this detail and specificity.

I don’t think they’re actually remembering their dreams. Dreams are what I like to call brain junk: They are just the result of the brain trying to reorganize information during it’s daily off time. In other words, it’s just a hallucination. If there were a dream recording machine, what you would see would probably make no sense at all. Humans always want to build stories and structure around things that don’t have much story and structure in the first place. So, when someone remembers a dream in great detail, they are most likely build a non-existent and made up story around a general feeling.

I must be dreaming this post right now.
