KK 3,307 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Terrence Malick's New VR Project Has Music by Jonny Greenwood, Explores Human Life From Birth to Death Couldn't care less about the VR thing. But the idea that Greenwood might become a Malick collaborator, possibly for his upcoming Radegund is exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Greenwood's recent music is at least interesting, which is more than I can say for Radiohead's last album. JoeinAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Really? I really dug their last album. "Daydreaming" and "Burn the Witch" are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Two good songs. I'm the unicorn that thinks TKOL is better than the moon one. Of course they haven't actually been great since In Rainbows, which will almost certainly be their last masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I like Present Tense and Decks Dark too. It's a solid album. No classic, but a nice "sunset years" album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I don't like anything on that album as much as I like "Little by Little" or "Lotus Flower" or "Separator." TKOL is so underrated, I find it so much more interesting sonically than AMSP, which outside of a few highlights I found quite bland in terms of arrangement and production.

KK 3,307 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Yea, I agree. TKOL is underrated, but it's kind of a chore. I never really find much reason to go back to it, especially when I can just put on Kid A instead. I prefer AMSP's highlights to the songs you mentioned. There's more range. But I will agree that Greenwood's solo work is more interesting than modern Radiohead. But hey, most modern music bores me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Is it weird if I think that OK Computer might actually be a bit overrated? It's probably my 4th favorite Radiohead album after In Rainbows, Kid A, and Hail to the Thief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it with US Americans not being able to see films that are not about themselves? I really dont care about foreign films. In the US we have 2 basic languages. English and Spanish. You can drive from one coast to the other and English is dominant. Where else in the world can you travel that far without the main spoken language changing? Btw a Meg sequel is in the planning stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americans hate subtitles so much that they prefer to watch foreign movies that are dubbed in English. But, as we all know, half of the European countries seem to prefer it too. The other half (including the Dutch speaking part of Belgium) loves subtitles, thereby preserving the original language and voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 2,032 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Most of Laika’s use of CGI is focused on backdrops, water effects, floating objects like the origami in Kubo, stuff like that; everything else is practical puppetry or physical prop work.
