  • That in particular was one that bugged me quite a bit.

    I had forgotten that about him.

    I remember his dislike for Something Awful, though.

    forsythe defined himself through opposition to others to an unfortunate degree

    really, that seemed to be the root of most/all of his weird issues
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Something Awful does not talk about Earthbound that much.

    I mean, they like it, but most of the internet does.

  • His reasoning was that there was still a thread dedicated to it even though it came out in the nineties. As if the concept of "not being born when it came out" was entirely foreign to him.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    That's kind of like complaining about people talking about the Beatles, despite them having broken up in 1970 and now having lost half their members.

    He was a fan of a bunch of old cartoons, so I doubt that was all it was.

    Probably just a disdain for nerds/Something Awful/EarthBound itself

    Yo, people! Listen to this!

    What Ligeti was doing in Musica ricercata was that with each movement he would add another note to how many he would use. The first is almost entirely in octaves of A with a few Ds at the end; the second revolves around F# and G with the occasional E; and so on.

    Yo, people! Listen to this!

    Whoa! I love it!
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    ^^ Cool!
  • It sounds interesting. It's weirdly dissonant though. It feels like it's two different songs running at the same time.

  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Part of the point is that the bass part is running continuously and in a consistent metre with no connection to the upper part. The right hand floats above the left like an albatross over the sea.

    Here's a complete performance of Musica ricercata to give you an idea of what's going on:

    And yes, the first part is all one note except at the very end. One note in several octaves.

    It is the snazz.

    Are they mother and son? Brother and sister? Boyfriend and girlfriend? The messages in this ad are as beautifully mixed as the plaids!

    My favourite so far.

    Nah, maybe your DreamWorks did, but Felix hasn't been popular for decades.
  • > felix the cat

    > evergreen property

    fuckin lol
  • it's been languishing for freaking ever
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Katzenberg did not reveal specific plans for a Felix movie, saying instead that the cat will become a fashion brand.
    Hm.

    I'm not sure I'd trust DWA to make a Felix movie and not screw up, but a movie announcement would have been more exciting.
  • yeah they would have turned it into some hideous 3D monstrosity
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    And IDK about 'evergreen' but Felix is an acknowledged classic among animation buffs, and deservedly so
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

    I thought there was some kind of movie or thing semi-recently? But yes, I do find the use of the term "evergreen property" rather questionable here. It is pretty universally recognisable, but not exactly an overflowing well of new money...
  • classicness doesn't really have anything to do with evergreenness

    like, for something to be evergreen it'd have to be kept in the public eye on a fairly regular basis

    So is Max Fleischer's Gulliver's travels, but sadly, I doubt it will be as lucky as Felix. Must be the name.

    Exactly.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    A TV series seems likelier; they've got to churn out 300 hours of programming for Netflix over the next few years, and don't seem keen on using DreamWorks Animation Television to generate new intellectual properties...

    Oh joy.

    Cross your fingers that it isn't completely appalling...

    But, really, if you think DWA buying Felix the Cat is stupid, they bought the Troll dolls last year

    Yeah, I know, you told everyone this already.

    I don't care what they've bought unless they have a high chance of screwing it up worse than the people who had it before could have. If I don't care about what's being bought in the first place, then I really don't feel anything more than passing puzzlement.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I get a sense of "oh god, they're a sinking ship" from them buying irrelevant franchises. But somehow, them buying the Troll dolls just says something very unfortunate about them. These are a fad toy that resurge in popularity at unpredictable intervals and are considered ugly pieces of shit when they're not popular?

    Not everyone, Sredni. I didn't know. It is a shame you lack this interest, I was hoping for you to have neat insight on it like you do the stuff that interests you.
