Another "Soon-To-Be" Kitamura Classic!

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 03:05:08 GMT

Well, Ryuhei Kitamura seems to have done it again, and I can't wait to see Baton. It's his newest film since Midnight Meat Train, and it's an anime with rotoscoping! HOW COOL IS THAT?! There's not much info about this masterpiece as of yet, but all I can say is, I'm excited. I'll post more information as soon as I find out a DVD release date, or theatrical release date for the states. (Which most likely WON'T happen in the states...)

Enjoy! ^_^

(Kitamura has made amazing films such as Versus, Azumi, Godzilla: Final Wars, and Alive, before his US directorial debut with Midnight Meat Train.)

A LIVEJOURNAL ENTRY OF MUSICAL IMPORTANCE~

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:18:53 GMT

OK! So, I decided to talk about my 17 year long hatred towards Warner Bros. studios. Back as a kid in 1992, electronic music wasn't big at ALL in the states. What WE thought was electronic, was not. It was just euro-pop bullshit. (ie, Ace of Base, Technotronic (hah hah, whatta name...), Corona, 2 Unlimited) So, around this time, a movie was just released in theaters called Cool World, by the great Ralph Bakshi. As a kid, I didn't know who he was really, all I knew, was that there was cartoon sex in the film, and it was only rated PG-13. From the trailer, it looked quite gritty and interesting to say the least. Well, after begging my dad to let me go see it, we finally did, and what I heard during the opening credits was probably the COOLEST SONG I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE! (At the time of course.)

The sound was very new sounding for me, and had a lot of synth lines that, as a kid, was floored by. It's nothing AMAZING by today's standards, but for a kid in the US in 1992, it was something different and awesome. The best part of the song is actually at 1:09 with the killer analog basslines. And being amazed by that song, and the many other techno tracks within the movie, I did what anyone else would do when blown away by a soundtrack...BUY THE CD, RIGHT?!

Well, I did just that, and the 1st track of the soundtrack was the song from the opening sequence. I was so excited when I bought it, I ran home and threw it into my cd player and turned the volume WAAAAY up! Waiting for the awesome part I heard in the movie, I was horribly disappointed when I heard this...

Tell me if YOU can hear the difference. =_=

SOOOO, pissed off, I snail mailed Warner Bros, asking WHAT THE FUCK WAS UP. They responded back with something like, "Thank you for taking interest in contacting us, but we're sorry to say that the song used within the movie was a mix that was not released on cd. We hope this helps you out, have a good day."

Yeah, go fuck yourselves...

So, I was like, "Well, I guess the mix from the movie was put on the Thompson Twins album, Queer." And while thinking this, bought the album, only to be, once again, utterly disappointed. The song used on the album was a chilled out rock song with NO electronic music whatsoever. I was just CONFUSED! What happened to the SAME SONG THAT WAS IN THE MOVIE? AND WHY WAS IT NAMED THE SAME AS THIS PIECE OF SHIT??!?

Skip 5 years ahead from 1992, when the internet is finally starting to boom, and a friend of mine told me that there was a maxi-single of Play With Me on ebay for $20 with no bids. I flipped, as I thought, "I'LL FINALLY GET THAT SONG, THERE'S SO MANY REMIXES ON THE CD, IT'S GOTTA BE ONE OF THEM, RIGHT??!"

http://www.discogs.com/Thompson-Twins-Play-With-Me-Jane/release/1396933

Boy, was I FUCKIN' WRONG AGAIN! Not a single mix, edit, or album version was the song from the movie OR from the cd soundtrack. I started to think, "Was the song in the movie not really made by The Thompson Twins? Is this some sick, twisted joke? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON???"

After a week of being angry as all hell, I thought to myself, "Well, maybe the portion of the song I loved was in one of the remixes. I guess I should listen to all the tunes." Well, I did, and was it mind-numbingly dumb. All the remixes were complete shit, and nothing sounded like the movie version or the soundtrack version...until, about 5 minutes and 25 seconds into the Full-On mix. IT WAS THAT CATCHY BASSLINE THAT WAS USED IN THE MOVIE VERSION...but, without the samples and hard beats used within the movie.

I had FINALLY figured it out. Warner Bros mixed together the Cool World Mix, with the bassline and synthline from the Full-On mix. What's worse, is that the Full-On mix is 5:30 minutes of pure shit, with only 30 seconds of awesomeness. As a teen though, I didn't have turntables that I owned, and finding out-of-print vinyl was practically impossible to do in 1997.

It wasn't until 2002 that I finally got my chance to look for import records on gemm.com. Finding the Full-On mix on vinyl was easy as pie, and cheap as hell...BUT GUESS WHAT? The Cool World mix was NEVER RELEASED TO VINYL, ONLY CD~! WHAT THE, GODDAMNIT FUCK YOU BITCHES, AJHJHAKJHKJHKLHEUIHUIYWR&*Y&*Y*&Y@HUHu^%$!^%$!^%$@^%R&**(&WRASSAFUCKNUTZ! I researched the living FUCK out of finding ANY info at all about the Cool World mix on vinyl, and was told by companies, record shops and distributors, that the Cool World mix was made specifically for the cd soundtrack only, and not released on any other album or record.

As you can imagine...I gave up on my search, and just had to deal with listening to the awesome tune within the movie...which was stupid...

Now...jump to 2009. I showed someone Cool World that has never seen it before, and once again, I'm reminded by the awesome tune at the beginning of the film which has sparked my interest into TRYING to find any info on the Cool World mix on vinyl.

After searching for about 4 hours, and getting nowhere...I came across a Spanish Ebay site...with an item shown of a 7" record with the title, "Cool World - Play With Me" and an image from the movie. None of the vinyl I found from before had any images from the film, and only had stupid photos of the main chick from The Thompson Twins. I thought..."No...fuckin' no way...is this really it? How can I be for sure?" So, I checked the catalog number, ran it through Google, and pulled up this info.

B - 4:00 Play With Me

[This is the version from the opening of the movie "Cool World"]

HOLY FUCKIN GOD, I FOUND IT?!?! AND IT WAS ONLY RELEASED IN SPAIN?! WHAT THE FUCKIN FUCK?!?!!

Dude was selling it for 2 euros...2 FUCKIN' EUROS!! >:O

Well, I finally was able to recreate the version from the movie...and soon, I'll be recording the mix to MP3, cleaning it up, and releasing it out to the internet where it belongs. ^_^

There's actually a few forum boards that have the same anger I had when they bought the cd soundtrack, thinking it would be the movie version, and it wasn't. Gonna make so many oldskool electronic enthusiasts happy. ROCK ON, 17 YEARS LATER BABY!~

Paranormal Activity (Director's Cut)

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:11:20 GMT

So, I was lucky enough to see the original movie, not the bullshit theatrical one. It wasn't scary, but definitely creepy, and I didn't have to worry about stupid kids jumping up at every scene, so, I feel I'm better than all you people that had to deal with that shit the first time they saw it. ^_^

Anyways, as far as the movie goes, it was pretty nifty. I liked the effects, and the atmosphere chilled me to the bone. The acting COULD have been better, and Micah's "I'M A JOCK, GET USED TO IT" performance made me roll my eyes throughout the entire film. I'm not gonna give the ending away, but, after watching the original cut, it's FAAAAAAAR better and more realistic than the bullshit theatrically released ending. (I watched it on youtube and just couldn't help but laugh the whole way through, especially at all the dumb girls screaming in the theater crowd.)

So, having both endings in my mind, I give the original version a B+, and the theatrical version a D-. Hurray for Hollywood to take something over and fuck it up. :3

WHO'S GOING WITH ME ON FRIDAY?!

Let's Go For a Stroll on Mixer's Hand and Arm

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 14:39:40 GMT

Hahahaha, oh man, Rustwall is actually becoming quite sociable. I've been feeding him this fruit mixture that he doesn't understand is food, because he's been so used to eating only insects at Petco. So, being he won't eat it inside his tank, I've been putting him on my hand and placing a little bit of the fruit puree on my fingertip as I wait patiently for him to lick out and realize it's something he can eat. Then he noms on my finger until the mixture is completely licked off, and I repeat the process. (SO FUCKIN' CUTE! jackmydaniels AND niko CAN VOUCH FOR ME!) So now, he's not afraid of human contact as much, because he feels that with being picked up, he's gonna be fed, and he seems happy about this. So happy, that he is now an adventurous lil' crested gecko. He loves being perched on my hand or arm as I walk about or turn around in circles while seated in my chair. He's amazed by the silliest of things. I can't believe how awesome this gecko is. I love him so much. X3

Here's a couple pictures of the guy. First one is free, the rest you have to click on the link to see! (° 3°)

If that wasn't cute, I don't know what is.

...goddamnit...

There's a reason I don't wanna hear or watch people play the new Beatles Rock Band game...because not only is it wrong on SOOOO MANY LEVELS...but that 85% of people that can't sing worth shit are BUTCHERING AMAZING SONGS! >_<

So, WHYYYYY am I talking about this? Well, here at work, a bunch of people have decided it be a good idea to set it up in one of the meeting rooms and playing it LOUDLY.

Fuck this shit... =_=

Birthday Weekend

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 07:48:16 GMT

So next weekend, I'm flying down to San Diego. Don't expect me to try and hang out with ya though, it's almost been 2 months since I've seen my boy and I'd rather spend it with him more than anything else. ^_^

BUT, on Monday the 24th, it'll be my 28th birthday. We're going to Disneyland with a few friends, so, it should be a lot of fun. I'll try and take a bunch of photos and post them up here when I have the chance.

Sorry that I've been neglecting my LJ, just nothing important to talk about or say. o,o

TOSH.0 IS MY NEW FAVORITE SHOW OF THE YEAR

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 00:46:14 GMT

So, I've been watching Tosh.0 for the past 7 episodes, and it's pretty funny, but, the newest episode from last night's show was just amazing. I couldn't stop laughing. Pretty much everything about it made me tear up with laughter. XD

...yeah, that's all I wanted to say. o,o

YEAH YEAH, ANOTHER PICTURE, I KNOW...BUT...

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:18:33 GMT

...I got lil' V some new stuff for his tank, and he seemed so happy and curious to check it all out. Anyways, I walked away for a minute or two, just to come back to see him perched on his new palm tree. X3

Genius Party!

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:10:13 GMT

So, most people might not know of this movie compilation of short films, because America doesn't give a shit about it. It's produced by the mastermind of MindGame (Masaaki Yuasa) and animation company Studio4°C. You would think that America would eat it up like hotcakes and try to bring it out...BUT NOPE, IT'S NOT NARUTO, OR CUTE, SO NO ONE WILL BUY IT! Anyways, Australia thinks otherwise, as they released it just last week or so with english subs on DVD. HAH HAH, YOU'RE MISSING OUT AMERICA, YA DUMB FUCKS!

Can't wait to watch and own this masterpiece. ^_^

More Photos of V...

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:35:02 GMT

...because he's just too goddamn adorable. X3

V!

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:46:32 GMT

Here's my baby leopard gecko named V. Maybe some of you will know why I called him that besides the v-shape on his forehead.

ISN'T HE JUST TOO CUTE OR WHAT?! ^_^

FINALLY!

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:49:50 GMT

Going to get one of these cute guys today at the local pet store. I've been wanting to get a reptile for some time, and it was either gonna be a leopard gecko or a veiled chameleon. I decided with the gecko, as they require less work to take care of. Maybe down the line, if I do well with the leopard gecko for a few years, I might pick up a chameleon, but we'll see.

Once I get him or her, I'll take some photos and give them a name. ^_^

ANYWAYS, WHAT'S UP WITH THE INSANE AMOUNT OF RANDOM DUTCH PEOPLE WATCHING ME?! Are you bots or virus spreaders? I mean, I don't mind the watches, but, why? I have none of the same interests or friends that you have, so, I'm a bit curious as to why I have 23 new watchers that are Dutch or Russian. MAKE ME UNDERSTAND, PEOPLE.
