Oooh, Metropolis has some golden moments (the "Moloch" sequence is one of my favorite film sequences evah). A large portion of the film is lost, though.

There are a few things about Freud that I'm fine with. I hear that he once said something to the tune of "The only abnormal human sexual behavior is the total lack of it." I tend to agree with that. Culture is something that I'm often bothered by. Almost universally throughout this planet, culture i...

e_dog: I think you're neglecting a certain point. That being, that most of what people regard as "human nature" is actually not nature at all, and thus by definition is actually aberration. (However, aberrant as it may be, it is so deeply ingrained into human behavior and culture that a human who di...

I would just like to say that I am not, nor have I ever been, an idiot.



Except in high school. But that doesn't count.

One time someone got the number of my check card somehow and stole $4,000 from me. I later got most of it back, though.

Wow, is that car the origin of that phrase? When people say "that's a doozy," do they actually mean "Duesey" without realizing it? The description of "adventure simulation" for my game I came up with fairly recently. I used to describe it as a role-playing game, but I realized that was innaccurate; ...

Yeah, there's combat in my game, but the players are actually encouraged to avoid it when possible, because it's as dangerous as real combat. You go in against some guy with a sword, and you can end up losing an arm (or even a head). Some of my favorite video games are rather violent... For instance...

I've been learning to program in Java... my brain hurts. It hurts less than it did when I was learning C++, but more than when I was learning BASIC. Java makes a hell of a lot more sense to me than those other two, though. Yesterday, I was coding and I broke the IDE (Integrated Developing Environmen...

I've been reading Borges lately. He had all of my ideas.

I know what you mean. I have the same problem with that "No Flower Will Grow" piece of mine. And from listening to the piece, I'm guessing that they're both due to the same issues of tempo changes and pauses of subtle duration. That stuff's a bitch.

You know, the creepiest thing about "Country Death Song" is that it's true. I don't mean that it relates any particular true story, but I do mean there was a time when it was so bad for American farmers that some of them had to drown their children just to keep from starving

I haven't heard of it. What is it? Should I have heard of it?
