    The Official Movie Thread

    Purchased the Criterion DVDs of Naked and The Spirit of the Beehive a few weeks ago. Naked had a nice dark and raw mood to it while The Spirit of the Beehive had an enjoyable story and was visually beautiful.

    Saw District 9 and Inglourious Basterds a couple nights ago. I enjoyed District 9 a lot, but didn't care for some cliche elements. Inglourious Basterds was okay, but pretty much typical Tarantino. Really don't care much for his movies at all.

    Just purchased Come and See (an awesome movie showing the Russian side of WWII), Barry Lyndon and The First World War: Complete Series documentary. Hope the doc is good because I've never seen it. Has anyone seen the movie Defiance with Daniel Craig?

    just purchased/watched Lawrence of Arabia and 13 Tzameti recently. Didn't actually watch Lawrence of Arabia because I've already seen it and I didn't have 217 minutes to blow at the time. I'll probably check out the special features sometime this week. 13 Tzameti was somewhat a blind buy...

    Recently watched The Fire Within, The Conformist and 8 1/2. The Fire Within was my favorite out of the three, but they all had strong visuals and storylines.

    Mac vs PC thread

    As I already said, you wouldn't think a Mac was business worthy based on its looks, but many people use them for their business because they are less likely to get a virus and lose valuable files or documents.

    Mac vs PC thread

    The majority of my computing has been on PC, but only because it is so universal. The ability to customize and repair your system is the essential feature of the PC in my opinion and the reason why Macs are always considered the second option. Once Macs are equipt with this feature I wouldn't be...

    Anyone have any recommendations to artists that are similar to Ulver's electronic era? Feel free to recommend stuff similar to their folk/black era as well.
