it really depends. Sometimes there's heavy use of instrumentals, sometimes just percussion to keep the rythm, sometimes there's none, sometimes they rely on "sampling" of audio from other sources along with the lyrics and backing music. It's variable, and maybe even depend on the setting of the performance.
it's different from say, my personal favorite genre, heavy metal, where they focus on complex rhythmic structures and harmonies that would make the classical composers blush with envy, throat-shredding vocals, and virtuoso guitar performances that torture the strings like they were in gitmo, but that lack of rigid structure does give it more flexibility in terms of experimentation.
I used to share your view, but while it isn't my absolute favorite genre, I've found music that was good along with the bad.
gangster culture
oh man, you think it's bad now, "gansta rap" was it's own sub-genre of phony bullshit in the 90s...
the zombie corpose of their parent company has been passed around more than a Democratic presidential hopeful...
5 guys
oh? is she gonna bring Literally Who #1 along?
I'm not sure, I remember hearing that he supposedly stopped hanging out with Sargon over the latter's support of trump, though.
To be honest, I kinda stopped watching him after the beCandid scandal...
Didn't they also make Mr. Popo from DBZ blue? Think I remember that one...
lmao.
trump effect?
linked a comment in the OP where somebody shared a copy if you're interested.
thank you...I've been hunting this thing forever, lol.
now hopefully, I can get it running under linux...
if you don't mind this copy having a bit of save data
It's okay, I'll figure it out =)
guy went by the handle David albrecht, so that's plausible. I honestly don't remember for sure.
I do remember everybody featured in it (with the possible exception of chris ray gun) let's played it at some point.
yeah, it was fun, though. it was this combination of a tower defense and a third-person shooter, and the in-jokes were really just the icing on the cake...
actually, I think Chris Raygun was added to the roster at one point as well... course he's got TDS out the wazoo at this point...
I'm not sure if it was a fan, or somebody who hated sargon, but it was a legitimately fun, if somewhat dated game. It had four playable characters last I heard (sargon himself, armored skeptic, shoeonhead, and harmful opinions) I might have to go through about fifty old hard drives and see if I still have the rar/zip somewhere...
here's somebody playing it to give you an idea... graphics are pretty much what you'd expect for an indy game, but the gameplay is fantastic...
honestly? I was prepared to hate her as much as Carl Manvers in Captain Ms. Marvel, so maybe that made her easier for me not to hate. Honestly, the "heel" character was more unlikeable, as it should be.
Disagree with the characters development of the new cast members
This is more of a nitpicky thing I thought of after the fact, honestly. The film is fantastic, but I try to be as objective as possible. As an example, Ice was a dick to maverick in the original top gun, but they made it clear why at least. his character was better fleshed out. The arrogant pilot (whose name I forget) in Maverick was just a dick until he wasn't.
I still like the film, obviously, and it's a lot better than some of the dreck they've put out in recent years, but there are flaws, just like any film.
yeah, but I can forgive that too, mainly, because if it was my film, I'd put all that geeky goodness in there too.
regarding the seraph fight...yeah, that would have been cool, but it probably would have been hard to do, given how smith worked at that point. It may have simply been too hard to find a good way to make it make even a little bit of sense in story...
nah evil has lines. self-interested lines, but lines all the same.
...stupidity on the other hand....
I mean, to be fair, sikhs know how to deal with jihadis, lol
fair, maybe put it in the category of harbinger of downfall or something (not added to this list)
not sure. I know it bombed hard, and they basically rewrote Misa's character... Not sure if L rises to the level of a palette swap, though...
Shame, willam dafoe as Ryuk looked good, but willam dafoe is one of those actors that can spin gold out of almost any shitty script...
does the netflix death note count?
Sorry, not trying to crapflood your inbox
Normally, I'd agree with you, but in this case, I feel like leaving the philosphy open-ended works better in this case. it makes you think about the questions asked, rather than having the answers spoonfed to you by somebody who took a philosophy 101 class to get their screenwriting major...
maverick was a fantastic followup to the original (I actually watched the first movie right before heading to the theater, and it holds up incredibly well), even the female pilot wasn't the girlboss I was dreading.
The only real stumbling block I saw was the character development of the new cast members, which wasn't awful, but really needed more time focused on fleshing them out.
might wanna add captain marvel...film only did well off the back of the avengers movies...and I'm pretty sure it broke the MCU's crushing it streak...
ressurections was okay-ish... Bad case of sequelitus, but it was watchable...
ugh, don't get me started on the growling bullshit... to each their own, and maybe i'm too married to the classic metal sound, but i hate it...
edgelords gonna edgelord is all I'm gonna say about that, lmao.
but I wont lie, this one delightfully shocked me when I realized it existed (listen past the banner, it's more than that).
