HOLY CRAP!! Nothing to do with the subject, but TRF's skin switched as I opened this.

I'll watch tonight to get a preview of them acoustic. I'm seeing their acoustic show when they open for Dylan on one of my dates (possibly).

I hate that all the internet nerds that find it cool to cling to a horrible movie are giving it a 10 (out of 10) on IMDb. It currently has 13,106 votes of 10. Many of these are confirmed to be votes cast by a few people with many accounts.

See I am funny, no I am a warrior, no I am political, no I am gentle, no I am a kidnapper and a torturer, no wait and on and on. No consistency to his character! Because obviously, a character can have only one use. Because, that's how humans are. Obviously.

Of White Stripes fame, I honestly think he's the only great guitar soloist that's not in metal, and that can still make radio hits. Did you watch the solo? If not, you have no right to comment. Skip the vocals, I believe the solo starts around 2:17. Otherwise, there's no need for bitching. That response is ironic in this thread especially, since we're talking about not having guitar solos, and I present an example of a mainstream guitarist who does solo well, and you give a no-word response. f***ing disgusting.

Everyone heard the Rush reference, right? One of the roasters said he had used one of the lines on the internet, and another person responded "LMFAOWIPAJJBAFIMAAAMMTMTTDRFBNA, which means laughing my figurative ass off while I put a Jar Jar Binks action figure in my actual ass, and my mom tells me to turn down Rush's Fly by Night album." Obviously not verbatim, but very close.

Someone give me one, as I rarely pick up my Chapman Stick anymore

QUOTE (third hand grace @ Aug 19 2006, 11:08 AM) btw I'm making a movie today, don't have a title yet. Can someone give me one? Oh, and can someone give me some ideas to put into it? Thanks. It'll be out next week, only ten bucks a person. I don't have a name, but I have a suggestion- skip dialogue and plots, character development and emotion, and just have people get bit by snakes. As I guess that's the only way to sell a script to Hollywood.

The fact that this script got the greenlight makes me want to kick a puppy in the face.

I believe the Japanese show is something like Takeshi's Castle. That is an actual gameshow, not meant really to be funny. The overdubs and random titles are what make the show. Oh, and seeing Japanese people injured. I mean, when isn't that fun?

Saw this preview before Ricky Bobby. I love S.B.C., and find him to be one of the best character comedians today.

This is Carter Beauford's TRADEMARK While soloing, he'll blow bubbles. http://www.weeklydavespeak.com/articles/images/carterBeauford_bubble.gif

Even though I know it's not what you're looking for, here's the only thing I can throw in- do what's comfortable. I've never been comfortable with a pick, and play most guitar and bass naturally. But for my rare guitar solos (if I solo, it's on bass or keys) I felt the need to use a pick, and my speed and accuracy suffered. After a long time trying that, I just said f**k it, and I played my solos finger style, like a bass. And it turned out many many times better. Not only am I faster, but my solo now sounds like my solo, not just like every other young guitarist. And even though most of my solos on guitar are improv, I have replicated others before, and this playing style also helped my speed. If you want an example, check out Derek Trucks' solos. My style is very similar. EDIT: Here's a Trucks' solo, for an example-

I guess you have to be a toker - and a certain kind of toker - to enjoy it. (Even if I still smoked, I don't think I'd like these movies.) I haven't smoked in almost 20 years, and my wife never has, and we both thought Harold & Kumar was hilarious. I appreciated it both on and off.

Been looking forward for this for a looooooooooong time. Honestly, I think one of my earliest posts was about this movie. I remember it was early, because it was back when I thought posts were supposed to be 3 paragraphs long (taken from the school of Necro).

Requiem for a Dream. Hilarious.

Saw this preview before some movie (Lady in the Water, I think). I honestly laughed to myself over the concept. If this is what originality is, I'd rather have remakes of exciting movies. But I do like Ridley and Crowe, I just think that a movie about whether a guy keeps or sells a winery is funny.

Oh good god, I work at a Six Flags (rights to Looney Tunes, all that jazz)... The enterance to the staff area is through the Looney Tunes park, so I hear this stuff every day. Also, having people in the character suits walk past you while you're eating mac-and-cheese for lunch is a little surreal.

I write. A lot. Most of my writings are screenplays, then novels, then short stories, in that order. But what am I getting published for? Poetry. On a whim, I saw poetry.com was having a contest, and I decided to enter. Honestly, with no thought in it, I made a short 70ish word poem, and entered. I read it after I entered, and thought it was beyond cheesy, and very cliche. But I guess, not only did I advance to the semi finals with 103 other people, but I'm being published in their next hardcover collection of poetry. One cool thing- it is a collection, meaning I still own the rights to it. Anywho, I may have 1,000 dollars in a few weeks- fingers crossed. The horrible poem itself- Faith Lights Shining down from above The pathway to truth Indirectly fall apon us all But as we search for it We need to look up But as we search the heavens We become blinded by the light Blinded from the answer By the answer The only way to find Truth Love Honesty Faith Answers Is from the rays that fall upon us all From the Lights Blech.

The latter sentence probably answers the former. My thoughts as well. Though I thought Kutcher was good in Butterfly Effect. But I doubt this movie will be anything more then

Dave Matthews Band- Lie In Our Graves Honestly, I can't think of a more fun acoustic riff.

The real question- why does Colin Hanks look so much like Dan Aykroyd? http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/personalidades/atores/dan-aykroyd/dan-aykroyd03.jpg vs. http://www.warp9cards.com/Warp9-inserts/kingkongAuto-Hanks.jpg
