Great list raga ! pitty i need to spread more rep I'm just about done downloading The Quantum Activist and that Ram Dass one looks brilliant :2thumbsup:

edit - So i watched the two of these docs tonight, damn man, two of the best documenteries i've seen in a while. The Ram Dass one nearnly had me in tears lol. Brilliant

 

I just saw Hunger Games. Pretty Damn good movie with an f'd up plot.

 

Watched it today as well. I liked the premise of the movie, and it was pretty good. My daughter said it's a trilogy of books, so maybe more movies in the future.

Made me think about the Occupy movement and 1%'rs.

Could that be our future??

 

my wife just read through the book series and said that they were actually pretty good.


yesterday while tripping on shrooms, i went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. my friend freaked out a bit because he thought that there was no way i was going to fit through the doorway, and then couldn't understand how i had gotten through.

 

Man I probably would have seen the Hunger Games the other day if I knew it was any good but I saw The Lorax instead. It was okay. I was in between classes and had worked hard all morning and was really sleepy so I couldn't decide anything else to do in my free time but get really high and go see a cheap movie and zone out haha.

And eggsprog, that was really funny.

 

Yah the occupy movement crossed my mind while watching it too. I found myself relating it to real world issues as well as a couple other movies/stories a few times but it definitely was thought provoking and well acted.

 

im glad you mentioned this, i totally thought the commercials looked so dumb, ill give it a chance now, sounds interesting.

 

It will be right up your alley with the conspiracies and all.

 

i really like jimmy eat world, but until i was reading about them on pandora, i had no idea they were considered emo. i guess i like emo. hmmm
there's at least one song by sunny day real estate that i like
and "boy with a coin" by iron and wine is awesome.

i missed what started the conversation about emo. or what it me mentioning it in chat? that must be it

just home from another long ass day making figures for my paper.
getting tired of this shiz, but after wednesday it'll be over (til we get it back from review and may have to do more stuff haha)

i saw it on friday night. it may have been the first movie based on a book, where i actually read the book! and i had JUST read the book, so the movie was sort of boring for me, since i knew everything that was about to happen.
and like everyone loves to say, the movie is never as good as the book, but in this case it was pretty close i think. i wanna see snow white and the huntsmen (it was a preview at hunger games). that movie looks so trippy, perfect for dosing 2ce or 2cb before maybe...

anyone else read Hunger Games?

 

That's good to know it followed the book fairly closely. They showed a preview for that Snow White movie for us as well and I thought that looked pretty cool, they also showed a preview for a Tim Burton movie with Johnny Depp as a vampire that looked kinda funny.

 

^^i think it's always the same previews. it's on the same reel.

anyways, yeah that movie looked funny/stupid. snow white looked bad ass though

 

Yeah man, you're totally an emo guy too if you dig on that kinda indie porkstock heh... this is my favorite Sunny Day song:

If you like them and BTS and Pinback, look up Heavy Vegetable, Samiam, The Fastbacks & Afghan Whigs; those other bands are also tight, I posted some B & S in GM's music thread. I think you'd enjoy it.
I noticed yesterday when watching the latest episode of the US version of Being Human (hands down my favorite show with Spartacus my second favorite) that Netflix has part one of the adaptation of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged which sounds neat as that book is amazing. I guess I'll check out Hunger Games, it sounds similar to 1984 & Brave New World, is it?
I always knew you and I shared more than drugs in common. I feel weird now at this juncture though since making the first honest go at cleaning up my act...like I've been hiding in the fog from depression & anxiety for years now using dope as my crutch. I think I'm going to get a referral to an addiction/harm reduction specialist from a buddy since inevitably I'll get high on more than weed again, but not until after by some time. Likely looking into a grief counselor too. I'm pretty ashamed of my poor impulse control and though I'm an honest man, I'm equally an emotional wreck and just won't let drugs take center stage again. I do wish it hadn't taken a near death experience to come to this place. But I'm happy I'm here all the same.
I used to spend hundreds a month on LP's and CD's, so music is obviously a passion too, but I suck ass on guitar and am only so-so with Reason, ProTools & keyboards. My favorite keyboard is gone with the wind now though, an old Casiotone.

 

i meant to say i've heard belle and sebastian. they were a favorite of this hippie dude i tripped with on LSD for the first time. not a friend really, just a random aquaintance.

i've heard of heavy vegetable, i think it's one of pinback's members' side projects?

i'm listening to that song right now you posted. i like

 

Right on, glad ya like it!
I saw Belle & Sebastian twice in SF and once in Portland one summer one show after the other this one week like in 2004 or so; great stuff

Actually Pinback is an offshoot of Heavy Vegetable as is Tristeza and a few other San Diego groups, I like Pinback best of that collective of musicians; I think The Locust and Cattle Mutilation are connected to those guys too.

I bet you'd be a fan of most if not all of the Jade Tree label bands...a really awesome couple of bands on that label are Milemarker and Joan of Ark, the latter a bit like Juno if you know them

 

the only jimmy eats song I like is the middle. and when we didnt have porn in iraq, busted nuts to that video least 20 times.. eh sometimes you got to work with the material you can get..

 

Dammmmmnit! Bob Weir played a few blocks from my pad last night and I only now just found out!

 

Hmm, I'm actually kind of digging Sunny Day Real Estate. I'm super picky with music but they're sort of my style.
I'll have to download and give a listen.

lol orison

 

Damn. I'm back in the land of slow internet. My post took too long to upload so it got cut off. What I was GOING to say...

Speaking of music we love, I have to gush. Just found out that the complete video of the Metropolitan Opera's production of Satyagraha, Philip Glass' opera about Gandhi, has been posted to YouTube. I went to see this opera last fall as a cine-cast (that means they broadcast the opera live in HD onto a big screen in a movie theatre). I smoked a bit of bud in the parking lot beforehand, and that was one of the most meaningful nights of my recent life.

That opera, specifically this Met production, was and still remains one of the most moving and intimate experiences I've ever had with a work of art. It's where my signature picture (bass Richard Bernstein in costume and makeup singing the role of Krishna) comes from. I am so glad that I can now see it online.

I'm DEFINITELY going to watch the entire thing while tripping one of these days...should be mind-blowing.

 

Philip Glass with Kronos Quartet is something I've tripped to both on 4-AcO's DET/MET & 2C's E/T-2: beautiful each time.
