Ziggy Stardust

Nice, even Anchorhead approves of this thread!

It really is too bad. He was a great leader.

I try to lift weights (no muscle), but usually I just end up pretending to walk on the treadmills as I watch TV in the gym.

Generally considered to be one of the better bands as of late.

I have no idea what this means.

 

He means that they are one of the better modern bands, right Sean?

Forget the ethics of eating sentient-shaped confectionaries, I'd much rather discuss the politics of dancing.

DID SOMEONE SAY DANCING??!!!

Last but not least, I met George Lucas... he signed my issue of Star Wars #1. He was all right when I met him. This was around the time of a renewed interest in Star Wars when ROTS came out....

How old were you? Nine?

I forgot to mention that I'm a HUGE Flaming Lips fan. They always think of something interesting to do with anything they can think of, however I do have mixed feelings about this one. I must admit, it certainly is creative.....

I was in an airport and someone told me I had just missed Nick Mason by about five minutes walking through the terminal.

I have to agree with Duracell. Besides Yoko, he once wrote a song called "How Do You Sleep?", which was a direct insult to Paul McCartney.

However, I do own half of his discography, I can't help that he's so good.

It got me in the calf. It went about an inch and a half deep. My sense of humor was fine, in fact, it made me more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

He's creepy mask guy:

Can't say that I am, nope.

I fell down into a sharp part of a metal bench and I had to go to the ER at school.

The cut was pretty deep.

Thanks for the more nightmares Nanner.

Aw man! I wish I could see some Banksy stuff around where I live!

By MBW being a Banksy creation, what do you mean?

This is one of those movies which are kinda hard to describe to people because it doesn't do it any justice.

I'm a sucker for really "fun" documentaries. I love watching things such as Super Size Me and Thank You for Smoking. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you clearly haven't seen those other two films.

The film focuses on Street Artists, notably Banksy, who also directed the film. Below you can see a couple pieces of his work.

I liked this film a lot, and it made me a lot more aware that street art can actually be quite political and intelligent, rather then nothing more than gang symbols and promotion of violence.

This film raises another very important question. What separates graffiti from art? Please reply with your opinion. (I'm looking at you, ender.)

^Favorite of mine.

I HATE CHANGE!!

Can someone please explain this thread to me?

Pretty sure it will be a job that lets me spend quite a bit less time on here, so...hopefully the first one!

Great, now the forum will be boring...

Yeah, good luck pulling this off...

Anytime, o'five!

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Long title, I know.

First off, I just want to say that I'm a huge Jesse James fan. I've visted his various homes he's lived in, one of the banks he robbed on Liberty MO, his grave, hell, I even have a Jesse James t-shirt!

When I went in, I immediately thought to myself "well, this is Hollywood, so I can't be expecting anything too accurate," as I began watching.

I was wrong.

Sure, there were some things that weren't perfect (like the fact that MO isn't a bunch of rolling flat land and prairie) but I could live with it. I was shocked to find how amazing this movie was. It had this artistic flare that I was not expecting, which was nice. The cinematography was beautiful, on a Days of Heaven type of level.

The casting was perfect. I thought that the fact that Brad Pitt was in it was going to bother me because he's so well known. He completely embodied the character so well that he convinced me that he was Jesse James. And of course, we have Sam Rockwell, who can't not be amazing.

Casey Affleck was the real scene-stealer however. He added so much depth and pity towards a person who is usually looked at as a villian. The filmmakers really got into his head, showed that he didn't know what he was getting himself into until it was too late.

One thing I noticed while I was watching this was that I kept switching sides between the two main characters. At the end, however, I realized that both characters were at fault and left it at that.

Overall, amazing film, not perfect, but damn near close to it.

8/10
