Full disclosure. Four monster musicians playing live for an opened minded crowd and pushing each other to the limits. Michael Landau being the star IMO.

You're gonna hate it for sure though.

Plank, check this one out.

Listening to it right now and it's jazz fusion aka dad jazz :D. It's actually pretty good.

Guitar gets a little cheesy sometimes like the rest of the band, but the drummer is tits.

Love the sound of his snare. Dude's resume is nuts.

A bit overindulgent for my tastes, but I could see myself getting into it in a live setting. As a recorded casual listen, it's not something I'd leave on for too long, as it gets a bit on my nerves, or just simply bores me to the point of just turning everything off, and sit in much appreciated silence.

Batty, you have no soul and you are a Philistine.
The "old English guy" narrating is the late great Richard Burton, he who married Liz Taylor twice and who starred in "Nineteen Eighty-Four." Pay your respects, goddamn it!

I knew you'd hate it, but thought the idea of a huge metal Martian fighting machine striding over the English countryside, totalling Big Ben and capturing people to suck their blood might appeal to your dead heart. Apparently, I was wrong. I'll find something worse next time.

Also, you are a ****. :finger:

Guy's a great actor, especially in Virginia Woolf, and I love 1984 the novel, but that is a film that I never really dug. I'm not sure what it was about it, but whenever I watch it I just don't find it entertaining. Maybe I have a problem with the pacing or something, because it took me four tries to even finish it.

Well yeah, it's not really meant to be entertaining. It's dark, depressing, unremittingly bleak and it has no happy ending. What more could you want in a picture? But I think it's more the way it portrays the novel, and of course the two towering leads, that really make it. I love it when Smith's mate says his daughter turned him in as an agent of Goldstein; he didn't even know he was one. They're so insidious. He's so proud of her. Incredible moment.

Did you read my review of it in "The Couch Potato" by chance?

I watch dark films all the time but they still fulfill some aspect of entertaining me by at least holding my interest. Yes I did read your review, it made me return to the movie to see if I still felt the same way actually. I did.
