Also it's not a synth that came with FL, it's just a tone from a sample pack I downloaded forever ago of someone playing a keyboard synthesizer (it sounds very old, might be a Mellotron or some such thing).
I do like the Star Was movies(the main 6, haven't seen any other ones). Clone Wars(the tv show) was okay.
I'm more of an action movie fan myself. Some of the video games movies weren't too bad, IMO. Tomb Raider was fairly good, really. ...Actually, not many were on that level. XD
Ah, yeah, I don't really use synthesizers in general because I have no idea how they work! :D
Well I sorta do, but not a good enough idea to use one well.
As for the sample controls, I use some. Mostly just stuff I figured out on my own, I know how to change pitch with it, use that FEED knob I referred to earlier, um, I can kinda use the Apreggio or whatever the hell that thing's called, but using it and getting it to make anything that sounds nice are two different things. S'pretty much it. Probably some stuff I'm forgetting.

My favorite two films are Wrath of Khan and 10 Commandments
The mirth I derive from Wrath of Khan isn't limited just to the film itself, but when I'm at an anime or comic convention and casually say it's the best sci fi movie ever made and await the eventual correction by someone which is almost always and invariably Blade Runner
Then I open one of my six mouths and sing the song to the tune that Blade Runner was a slow-paced boring piece of ass-sucking shit and yes I'm talking about your Criterion Laserdisc Director's Cut
My favourite films are probably The 7 Samurai and Aguirre, The Wrath Of God (*Both are a tad predictable, but I'll stick by them*)
I am the great traitor. There must be no other. Anyone who even thinks about deserting this mission will be cut up into 198 pieces. Those pieces will be stamped on until what is left can be used only to paint walls. Whoever takes one grain of corn or one drop of water... more than his ration, will be locked up for 155 years. If I, Aguirre, want the birds to drop dead from the trees... then the birds will drop dead from the trees. I am the wrath of god. The earth I pass will see me and tremble. But whoever follows me and the river, will win untold riches. But whoever deserts...
While he was living in North Carolina for his studies in business management, Trevor Reginald Listman, Jr. stumbled upon a uniquely flavored tea at a shop near his college. The tea was of a vague fruit-y flavor that was both tart and sweet, but Listman was never fully sure because the shopkeeper always kept the ingredients secret. Determined to find it, he started to experiment with various blends of black tea and fruit flavorings. Eventually he came up with a solid copy of the shop tea when he used lemon, lime and a touch of berry, but thanks to his newly found recipes of all kinds of new products, Listman was uninterested. Instead, he used his business practices to create a company based around a product completely of his own creation, and he called it, appropriately enough, Trevor's T.
Trevor's T was a success in North Carolina upon its introduction in the 1980s, but Listman had bigger plans for it. He brought the company to Greyson City in 1992 and started shipping nationwide soon after thanks to a strategic partnership with Coca-Cola, who agreed to start manufacturing it as a replacement for their failing Nestea brand. The full US rollout was complete by 1994.
Today, Trevor's T is still a success for Coke and Mr. Listman, who is still in charge of the brand though Coke is now its official owner. Thanks to its secret formula the drink has captivated folks from all over since its humble beginnings in the kitchen of a college student.
Ironically, Trevor Listman III, aka Tre, says the "formula" is just iced tea with cranberry and lemon juices.
Directors cut generally means extra bloat, films are edited for a reason.
That's what I was thinking too. I was so fucking bored watching that, that I'll never give the original cut a try.
Blade Runner did give birth to one thing I truly love: the descriptor it gets from everybody everywhere. It's "cerebral." What the fuck is is "cerebral"? I've asked and nobody can answer that. If it's supposed to make you sit there like it's finals week then I'll just pick up a calculus book, thanks
"Cerebral" generally means it makes you think about it in an intellectual way. It's not always a good thing.
That said, the original cut of Blade Runner is far more bloated, apparently. The studio made the director add a couple scenes and a bunch of narration, as I understand it.

Oh, and to pad my film connoisseur cred, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Which I really did love, btw. Had me fucking dying laughing. Especially whenever Oldman's character discovered a scientific truth and it backfired like Looney Tunes' Singing Frog whenever he tried to show it to Roth
I've never seen Blade Runner, despite all the hype surrounding it, in large part because I'm not big on film noir in general. Just because it's set in THE FUTURE doesn't mean it ain't borrowing heavily from, say, The Maltese Falcon.
Man, it's weird watching the older H*R holiday toons; they all have "play this while you wait" preloaders, a sign that they were made at a time when dialup was still common. Now they load so fast that you barely even notice.
His last act was to post the link that killed him...I'm not sure if I should applaud or be appalled.
I remember seeing this somewhere.
I love that they are smoking "Drugs". I guess tobacco just wasn't hard enough to get the point across, they needed to go to the next level of "Drugs" to really hit home.
Also, the negative repercussions seem to be feeling a bit ill. Oh noes!
Thinking on it, the deaths of lots of these mp3 blogs is sad. The ones run by people REALLY ENTHUSED about the music, who go in and scan all the album art, and put relevant comments about the production of the tracks in the comment section..
Latawnya, the youngest horse in her family. While out playing with her sisters Latoya and Daisy, they come across some other mares: Connie, Chrystal, Jackie and Angie
I mean, she must have really sat down and went "Hmm, what are the most ghetto names I can give these horses?"
In August 2010, the author filed a pro se lawsuit against Amazon.com, Urban Dictionary, and Wikimedia, objecting to Amazon's placing the book in their catalog, and Urban Dictionary and Wikipedia describing it. The text of the lawsuit is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, and erroneously describes Urban Dictionary and Wikimedia as being located at the same geographical address.[6]
It was reported this week that Chick-Fil-A president Dan Cathy publicly declared that Chick-Fil-A is in support of “traditional” marriage and family, and that attempting to define marriage in other ways is “inviting God’s judgment.” This might mark Chick-Fil-A’s as the first anti-gay chicken sandwiches in the nation. In response to the Chick-Fil-A statement, other fast food chains quickly voiced their positions, gathered in the graphic above.

Also I find it a shame about that, as Chick-fil-A has amazing waffle fries, but it's not like there are any around here anyway.

Use what?

My favorite movie is probably Casablanca. Which is a cliche choice, but I just really like it.
I also love Summer Wars, which tends to get derided as the director plagiarizing himself.
the controls on the sample whatever. (*Can't remember the name*)

Noted.
Granted, I have no clue how to do that, but noted anyway.

Idealy a film should be entertaining as well as food for thought, clearly it failed you in the entertainment department.
Or at least a splitting image of him.
Aguirre also has the best soundtrack of anything ever.
Listening to Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska.
It's a very stark album, I quite like it.

I'm going to miss Beware of the Blog if it goes away.
Though, I suppose there's a chance that might still stick around, as they tend to host things directly.
so um
I just found out that I was born in the same town as Steve from Blue's Clues.
"and neither my birth name Sylvia Scott Gibson"
"signed, Sylvia Scott Gibson"
....eh?

The guy who wrote Maus invented the Ring Pop.
Because the world is weird like that.
You should take an animation class.
I don't even know if that's a thing, but if it is, and you can find one, you totally should.
