Is it too early for a post-mortem on the Oughts?

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:30:31 -0500

Is it too early for a post-mortem on the Oughts?:

duckandpenguin:

“We remember the decade a little differently—not with poptimist lenses or with whatever beer goggles make you think Kid A isn’t boring, but with cold, hard, honest eyes that see the last 10 years as an irredeemable shitpile that makes disco’s final cokefarts look like Woodstock.”

Well, if you’re going to be like that … go right ahead!

It does seem a little reductive to look at it that way, but certainly not irrefutably so. Maybe with time and distance this decade will seem different…the 80s kinda sucked too, but now they’re looked at much more favorably, as the 80s influence on this decade was huge…oh but wait, maybe that explains it somewhat. anyway, the Bush & Bullshit Era!

They do get points for mentioning dubstep in the first paragraph; I dunno if I’d call it an “inescapable culturlol trend” though, pfft.

Oh, well at the least the supporting cast is…oh goddamnit.

Gawd. I was hoping this was some sorta photoshop thing, but: nope.

What, did Jackie owe somebody in Albuquerque a lot of money or something?

“The Fab Four did not set the video game world on fire with the launch of The Beatles Rock Band. The game was one of the most overhyped in game history, with a buildup that was similar to last year’s Spore, which sold millions of units but was still a disappointment.”

— - Venture Beat. Unsurprising. They were the Hanson of the 60’s and only a handful of songs were good, but even those aren’t going to appeal to a wide audience today. Unlike, say, Pink Floyd which utterly and absolutely rocks. (Except for their took too many drugs and then were unfortunately allowed into a studio to reef on random bits of equipment tracks.) Uh oh! INTERNET ARGUMENT /never liked ‘em /not sorry

Roger Waters isn’t fit to lick John Lennon’s boots!

The problem with Spore was well documented: Will Wright wanted to make a sort of videogame version of Powers of Ten (his early presentations of the game were enthralling!), but EA basically wanted him to make a less complicated Sims-like game for which they could sell $30 expansion packs twice a year, and the company won out—the released game bore little resemblance to the earliest demos (which were like every science fiction movie ever made put together). Plus they used the universally disliked SecuRom rootkit, a no go with gamers.

Beatles Rock Band was pricey, incompatible with any other Rock Band music besides the Beatles (this week’s pay-for-additional-content: the Abbey Road album!), and seemingly unsure of its demographic. It shows how greedy these guys have gotten that they still sold over half a million of these things, outselling the competition (Guitar Hero 5), and yet that’s “disappointing.”

(The industry is doing its best to kill off PC gaming in the meantime. Modern Warfare 2 won’t support mods or dedicated servers, wtf? So the PC community won’t buy it, so the pointy heads can say “See? Nobody games on computers anymore” and they can squash the PC market while continuing to nickel-and-dime everybody on the consoles…)

This is great. It’s sorta amazing how quickly the whole “achievement” thing became an integral part of videogame culture…

New York, You’ve Changed: Ghostbusters

New York, You’ve Changed: Ghostbusters:

jla-be:

Today marks the first installment of “New York, You’ve Changed,” a new Scouting NY series in which the New York featured in movies is compared with the city of today. This is not meant to be the usual list of shooting locations and addresses to visit next time you tour the city. Instead, this is a full shot-by-shot dissection to see what New York once was and what it has become, for better or worse. I’ve tried to recreate the angles and framing as best as possible, and have presented the shots (more or less) in the order they appear in the film. Enjoy!

[More …]

This was a lot of fun. I always do this whenever I’m in places where movies were shot. It would have been great to have this guide last time I was in New York.

Two dudes tour the Dallas locations where Robocop was filmed:

I love my Grados! They’re not as expensive as this particular model, but still pretty life-changing.

Charo “Don’t Stop the Music”

Here’s Charo covering Rhianna, from this year’s Jerry Lewis Telethon (yes, 2009). It’s like she’s been frozen in time (esp. compared to something like, say, Madonna’s SNL appearance), still a force of nature.

I’m amazed anybody else was watching this, as it was well into the middle of the night (when the telethon is normally at its most entertaining, but still). Be sure to stay until the end for Jerry’s hilarious comment which really tops things off (He kept on in this vein for quite a while afterward, noting at one point the performance still had him “carrying a pack of Lorna Doones in here”).

Everytime a production photo leaks from Tim Burton’s aborted Superman movie, a kitten dies.

frangry:

Kanye West broke the internet.

haha, it sure appears that way.

Admittedly, as she was going up to accept the award I was saying the same thing he said, but I wasn’t gonna go and snatch the mic away from her to let the world know or anything.

Also, Lady Gaga was doing her “occultish” performance bit and for a second I thought she might actually do Jagger’s (or GG Allin’s for reals, until foiled by offstage overdose) “suicide right on the stage” but, no. Would have been a hard act to follow!

(heh, Twitter has Kanye AND “Kayne” West as trending topics right now)
