Just really random musing on stuff.
Snakes On A Plane soundtrack is officially a huge bundle of cheesy remix love. As someone whose taste can by summed up as "is it listenable and not Nashville country or gangsta rap," I knew there was no way I could skip out on SoaP, and I am in utter love. While it is mostly remixes, each one is a little bundle of mindless fun with a great beat; even if one has more restrictive tastes, there's at least one song on the soundtrack he or she will be rocking to. Having never heard of Gym Class Heroes before, after "New Friend Request" I'll give them a try; they seem very akin to McChris, and more McChris is always good. Even if one is more exclusive in what they allow to get permanently implanted in their brain when they really need to remember the formula for sines, The soundtrack is still worth it for the random quotes, including the snakes with a MILF fascination and the classic "I dunno how I can say this, but is there anyone here who knows how to fly a plane?"
Finally got off my butt and finished Sh15uya (Shibuya 15). Overall, for a low budget series adapted from a manga, it was really pretty good. Not as much of a surprise as I'd expected, the end still satisfied and, more importantly, made sense. While a bit off-putting at first to see a female cast as the lead male, she really filled out the role admirably. Reading HJU's interview with Mark Musashi helped to shed a bit of light on the direction choices for the series; I was also amused to note that Mishicorp has indeed missubbed Piece as Peace, thus explaining the point of the "final version" of Piece and why each incarnation had a different symbol on his chest.
I am a sad human, however. The entire series I kept thinking, "Wow, if you cosplay Piece your f-ed up wig would be fine." (I seriously don't think they ever even bothered to make it look like anything besides a disused mop.) Plus, Piece really is a ridiculously easy yet recognizable cosplay.
Now, back to making this journal a series of nothing but pretentious sci-fi that tries too had to be funny. |
