You just don't really understand what a hipster is, bro.

"angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection, to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night."

1955. Hipsters. The white kids who were into the African-American "Jungle Jazz" scene in the 40s and 50s.

No one is bitching about Pink Floyd and praising Genesis. CK said a Pink Floyd song is the best song ever, I said I prefer early Pink Floyd. I haven't even said whether I like Genesis or not. Silly comment is silly.

I fully understand what it is. Now, let's us talk about your first mistake, which is calling Pink Floyd a prog rock band.

Even their prog rock had an oddly "britpop" sound to it. It made it interesting, but I never really enjoyed it that much. I would never call it bad, just not my cup of tea.

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is still my favourite album of theirs. And Syd Barrett > David Gilmour and Roger Waters. Barrett was a songwriting genius and his use of dissonance was excellent.

Go home, you're drunk.

Watched Apollo 18. For a found footage horror flick it wasn't terrible.

My dad is convinced there is some truth to it :sergio:

Anyways.

Two Days, One Night.

Another fantastic film from the Dardennes. Marion Cotillard offers her best performance since Rust and Bone, maybe even since La Vie En Rose. She truly was fantastic in this film. A very interesting parable, pitting an almost barbaric self-interest versus compassion and humanity. It's fascinating, the way it examines herd mentality, manipulation, and peer pressure in the work place. It wavers on the edge of melodrama at a couple points but thankfully never leaps fully in, and the story seems a little less organic at times than previous films by the two brothers, but all the same, it's a brilliant film about a broken woman's journey to self-discovery.

8.5/10

I saw 2 girls, 1 cup.

Progressive way to handle nouveau media types. Social media is the nouveau platform for progressive indie artist. Artist that the mainstream studios do not want to give a chance 'cause they fear a lack of commercial success. The interesting and very intelligent way of critizing society that you see come thru in a very subtle manner in the extras to 2 girls, 1 cup (reaction to 2 girls, 1 cup) intrigued me. Where's society headed? Will we all eat shit? What does the CUp represent? Is it the young generations desire to become unique and famous? Is that just a empty shell? Have we become a shallow society where girls eating shit makes a bigger headline than progressive icelandic artists.

What have we become?

8/10 cinematography was brilliant.

Yeah, he thinks its obvious that the tapes presented as the movie are fake, but he bought in to the reports on how the astronouts died under mysterious circumstances. He always gets so pissed at me when I start laughing at him :lol: He's not going to talk to me in a week now, then he'll probably buy me a pair of sneaks.

I loved Fargo and Billy Bobo Thornton but Mathew Mcconaghy in True Detective surely deserved to win that for Best Actor in a Mini Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.

Honestly think it would've been fair whichever one of them won it. Billy Bob was fucking incredible in Fargo :D
I loved him in it too but just felt like Mathew was on another level. I expected True Detective to clean up but am happy for Fargo as it was equally as great if not better imo.
