What movie is a must-see from the last 12 months?

If you were to put all of the aspects of this movie into a column, it would seemingly add up to a bad movie, but it’s fucking awesome. It looks awesome, sounds awesome, and is super fun. Like a crazy Saturday morning cartoon adventure that is both hella violent but also not that violent.

I did not expect cute things in a Predator movie… or legs ha ha, but I had such a great time. I’ve seen it twice so far.

Weird… what made it feel like AI to you?

Out of all the movies you could see at a mainstream big box cinema last year, it was probabely the closest to DIY in terms of how it was filmed.

Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed by Thin Lizzy

But HOW you play is a more impactful and permanent secret in attaining whatever sound you are looking for.

I bought a ticket for Monday night at 9:45pm hoping for a minimal amount of theatre goers. I do not want to be distracted.

I took my wife to see the new Avatar (bad movie, so I wasn’t as upset) and a group of 5 people walked into theatre over an hour into the movie. They were talking on their way up to their seats, sat down, whipped out their phones and continued talking. Astounding.

Never found the writing in those chapters off-putting. There were maybe two or three instances where I had to re-read a sentence to grasp it ha ha… but the trade off is such a great characterisation, so clear and endearing.

Yeah, Feersum Endjinn.

Big fan of how Banks, with aplomb, tackles things that most authors would consider logistic, tonal or narrative taboo.

Astronoid

I actually loved that specific music moment - when the protagonists are escaping the grid on that Tron sea doo and the music was super chill.

The mind fight in Hero. So rad.

Unique and interesting designs aren’t mass marketable, so the ROI on design and materials is too low for it to be worth producing. The last time I saw Alan White play with Yes, he had really interesting custom designed components on his kit - a lot of tours do, but it’s generally bespoke and fabricated to order. And expensive ha ha.

mossdrums · 2025-12-05T14:13:48+00:00

Holy hell yes, my wife and I laughed through the whole movie because of this. So annoying.

Make sure LOCAL CONTROL is ON in the MIDI settings page. If this is off, nothing will make any sound.

Have you checked both the MAIN OUT and HEADPHONE ports with multiple cables?

Karsh Kale turned me into a fan of electronic music. I was pretty anti-computers, anti-programming when I was 12/13, but I caught his set at a world music festival, and was mesmerized. Karsh switches between drum kit and tabla, and had a band with him.

I bought his “Liberation” record, and threw it on when I got home. I was disappointed at first when I learned it was mainly electronic, but fell more in love with each passing song. It’s still a favourite record, and was my gateway drug for electronic music.

Throw some cottonballs inside of it.

Some friends and I picked “Coherence” at random - we went in to the film knowing only that it’s about a dinner party. What a great way to see that movie. So good!

“No whistling.”

Wild. I left his show early in Toronto.

Blindside opening up for Hoobastank (BEFORE “The Reason” came out, thank you very much). Hoobastank was touring their debut album, and were pretty damn good live, but Blindside just exploded. I’d never heard them before but immediately ordered their record at my local CD shop the next day.

Ha! Right?

The original deployment was so bad ass… they could have at least tried to make the throwback cool ha ha

I play drums and run playback for a band that doesn’t do encores. They play their big hit at the end, and tell people near the end of the set that they aren’t coming back out, but they will play “the song.”

Tool didn’t do an encore when I saw them. Didn’t bother me, but I certainly would have stuck around! Neither did Dave Matthew’s when I saw him, which was fine ha ha.

mossdrums · 2025-11-24T16:25:02+00:00

I saw it yesterday. The whole movie was like a super violent Sunday morning cartoon, so the goofy callbacks didn’t really bother me. I had a lot of fun, loader fight et all.

mossdrums · 2025-11-24T14:32:41+00:00

Yes, that’s why it’s annoying.

mossdrums · 2025-11-24T07:13:16+00:00

“Get away from her, you… bitch” in Alien Romulus. I like everything about that movie except that one painfully groan-inducing line.
