  1. Ivy? IVY! That cheap bitch is back? WTF? Tim, how many blowjpbs did you give the programming staff to put her uselss ass back in there? Could you post a list of all the characters (hidden and given)?
  2. Everything about that pic seems so... Low budget. Who's the actor in the pic?
  3. There's a link to an article on it in my first post. Here's a definition from it: Pitch correction is actually one of many computer-based tools that producers use to make singers sound better. Using increasingly common studio software such as Pro Tools, flat notes can be fixed, off-key vocals can be spruced up and entire performances can be cut and pasted together from several different takes. ========================== I tihnk that the big difference for me, is that music is something of a connection between the artist and my perceptions. It makes a big difference if that connection is filtered (Or at least if I know it's filtered). I want a human connection not a cyborg one. Plus a whole lot has to do with respect. For the same reason athletes aren't allowed to use steroids or I don't tolerate cheating in my students. Actually, that's exactly it. This pitch correction feels too much like cheating for me to accept it.
  4. So, we've all known for a while that those boybands couldn't really sing. http://www.instapundit.com/archives/009197.php#009197 But, does anyone care? Piggy once said to me that if it sounds good, who cares how it got that way? Well, I do for one. I actually LIKE to hear imperfactions in the vocals every now and again. It's good to know that whatever flaws I may find, I'm getting something genuine. Not even a little pitch correction would sit well with me. For those of you who are undecided, consider this: Do you think that Robert Plant would have used Pitch correction? John Lennon? Elvis?
  5. I took a first step against living in fear yesterday. I hear it went surprisingly well.
  6. One of my friends mentioned something to me about watching Episode II in Mexico. I don't know if it applies only to Mexican Spanish or all spanish (But since my cubano friends haven't mentioned anything to me, I guess not.) Chief, can you help out here? ==================================================================== Episode II didn't go over too well in Mexico It was a lot of fun watching the battle with the young Boba Fett riding along with dad and all. Because his dad insisted on calling him "Boba" all the time. Problem is, in Spanish, "boba" is an insulting term for a dumb girl. So on the screen, there were these really serious fights going on, and this little boy trying to be as evil as dad and all... and in the audience, we were all basically rolling in the aisles in laughter... people screaming, "Vaya, boba!" and throwing popcorn at the screen and everything... It was hilarious. You would have thought we were drunk or something. ======================================================== Reminds me of the time CHrysler tried to market the 'Nova' in spanish speaking countries. THey had to cancel a multi million dollar campaign because in spanish 'no va' means 'doesn't move'.
  7. I wonder if Superman ever pops a boner in his tights? would spandex hold back a superboner? or would the dick of steel just rip straight out. I hope Supes has a big dick, cuz it's just too depressing to think that Superman has a small dick.

  9. Today, the Dell interns are making training videos. WHo wants to be that they'll be making porn by next week?
  10. There's really only four characters that need casting. I suppose in the new A team they could be Gulf War vets rather than Vietnam vets... B.A. Baracus: difficult since Mr T. created a very distinct character. Still, I suppose Michael Clarke Duncan from Green Mile could do it. If not there's always Ving Rhames. (Is it racist of me to keep thinking the part has to be played by a black man? I suppose an Italian might wear gold like that...) 'Hannibal' Smith: I know that Bruce Willis is trying hard for dramatic 'important' parts these days, but if he could ressurect some of his wisecracking days he'd have the part down right. I suppose Dennis Quai would be good at it too... 'Face': I've always wondered what an army commando team needed to be so good with diguises for, but I digress. The part just screams for someone lightweight - Jerry O'Connel maybe? He might be too young... Matt Damon then? He's probably had enough of ensembles though, after Ocean's 11 and 12 and 2 Kevin Smith movies... 'Murdoch' : Remember the early episodes when they had to keep busting him outta his psych hospital? That was always fun... A crazy Pilot? If Nic Cage were a bit younger, he'd be perfect... Oh well. I'm probably the only one who even wants to see an A-Team movie, but it's nice to think of... I'm too tired right now to come up with more possibilities though.
  11. I never said I was giving the blowjobs myself. I said I'd ARRANGE em. Now gimme a sec lemme call my freaks and make this happen... Any preferences? Male/female? blonde/brunette/ ? big boobs? eye color>?
  12. I wonder if they'll put Han Solo in the 3rd Prequel...?
  13. Gee Nick, you already freaked out the drummer from V.A.S.T. now you wanna email stalk the wolvie artist? Heh. This internet shit is cool. I remember finding the forum for Alan Rodgers, a novelist I admired as a kid and finding out about his work and actually getting to praise him person to person and get a reply was very cool. We should probably start a discusison here about whether comics really will hite themselves to death... I see the artform falling far out of the mainstream, but Never dieing. (Hey, maybe Heartless wil get into comics then...)
  14. Knight Rider/ A-TEAM Saturdays were my reason for living when I was 12. That opening sequence for Knight Rider in the desert with the car humming and the theme music going with the voiceover telling us about 'a man who does not exist" Hey! I'll arrange free blowjobs for whoever tells me what KITT stands for... [i heard something about an A-team movie somewhere...?]
  15. I went for the ones with the better space battles.
  16. Dude, if I had Michael Jackson's money, I'd own my own fuckin roller coaster too. IN fact, I'd probably own several (one can get kinda boring after a while) HEY, There's an idea. changeable roller coaster. Make it as extreme or as womanly as you want. And it won't be the same twice. I'm gonna go get a patent on this thing...
  17. Whether it's alcohol, acid, ecstacy or pot, music makes it better. For me, I've gotten fond of The Who's 'Sparks'. It's pure instrumental and lifts the soul. (I know that sounds wanky but you tend to think that way when you're high)
  18. Regime Calibrate Coalition Degrade Human Shield Collateral Damage Embedded
  19. I gotta see this movie someday... Hey, the instrumental version of 'Heart will go on' is great. I guess Celine's police-siren voice is the real problem.
