Will an animated film ever win Best Picture?

5/23/2011 5:14:26 AM

Very doubtful. Being animated is a disadvantage. Most animated films are comedies, which is another disadvantage. Non-comedic animated films are almost always foreign, disadvantage #3. On top of all that, if an animated movie is so transcendent as to overcome all of the above disadvantages, it's probably also tremendously popular, and the Academy voters hate that (see Hoop Dreams).

I'd put money on it not happening.

that guy is organized to a certain extent and you can still walk around and whatever

versus the crazy motherfuckers who can hardly move in their own houses and have so many cats they don't even notice when one of them is lying dead at the bottom of a pile of trash

funny I thought they were a totally original, innovative modern metal band that seems like they could have gone a lot farther, in fact I'd argue their music was better than tool outside of danny carey

5/24/2011 12:15:08 AM

danny carey is a great drummer

and has never failed to bore the shit out of me

tool is boring

apc is boring

fuck 'em all

5/24/2011 12:51:59 PM

I can not express how much i don't like Tool. Same with Isis they are like the exact same band but heavier vocals

Quote :

i'm sorry what? Tool is just heavier alt rock with long ass boring riffs

I knew vinylbandit was cool the first time we hung out freshman year at Sullivan because he mentioned not thinking Rush was a very good band.

5/24/2011 4:30:16 PM

why do Win Butler and Sarah Neufeld still have the same haircut?

there has got to be some sort of sexually-related answer

6/13/2011 4:26:50 PM

vinylbandit what is your liquor drink

6/13/2011 4:33:56 PM

^I too desire the answer to this question.

6/13/2011 4:36:16 PM

also if you name a brand you are lame

6/13/2011 4:37:08 PM

what are your thoughts on Reggie Watts

6/13/2011 4:37:24 PM

6/13/2011 4:38:30 PM

He wasn't going to name drop anyway. The liquor he drinks is really obscure, you probably wouldn't know of it.

6/13/2011 5:16:17 PM

his answer will probably be




liquor is so 2009

6/13/2011 5:17:17 PM

ten bucks says he was all about greyhounds last year



also, how come katzenjammer aint bigger?

6/13/2011 8:02:50 PM

i've never been huge on mixed drinks, though i will randomly order a white russian here and there

the answer is

if it's brown, drink it down

if it's clear, maybe

6/14/2011 12:23:41 AM

man i specifically said "liquor drinks" so you wouldn't assume mixed

6/14/2011 1:08:58 PM

were you aware that George Will is a huge Ferris Bueller's Day Off fan?

how do you feel about the rilo kiley break up

7/13/2011 5:57:33 PM

Hey vinyl help me identify this song-band that I should know.

They play the song on WKNC all the time.

Pardon the "this fits every indie rock band ever" but it sounds likes a male and female vocalist.

Lyrics that I can remember, the chorus I guess:

Honeybees never sleep
but they should!
Oh they don't sleep.
Honeybees never sleep
but they shooooooould!

Yeah, so, WHAT THE HELL IS IT IT'S BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD. I can't attach the lyrics to anyone online either, which makes me think it's local.

yeah i was talking about apc, tool I would still say is innovative when they are their best esp with their rhythms and stuff but they can also be quirky

i was under the impression that they had broken up months ago

but their last record sucked and blake's records are boring and the jenny/johnny record sucks

so i'm kinda done with all those people for right now anyway

7/16/2011 12:15:41 AM

I guess the lyrics aren't familiar.

7/16/2011 12:16:35 AM

i have never watched Cape Fear.

but there's not much on tv and I've watched the first 20 minutes.

is it worth watching?

7/16/2011 12:19:57 AM

the original or the remake

7/16/2011 12:24:56 AM

the remake

7/16/2011 12:28:11 AM

eh, it's okay

the original is much better, if only because robert mitchum plays the best villains of all time

7/16/2011 12:29:05 AM

How come you never told me about space ghost cowboy? What else are you hiding in all that other shit hipster music. Also how has no one suggested a james brown album in my essentials thread (not that I don't have them... just curious)

Also, think that Hopscotch will put up some more Club passes?

Anything but Loud Planes Fly Low is wrong, don't come in here with that Birds Make Good Neighbors shit.

9/5/2011 9:57:18 PM

I don't know man, I think Life Like is a great album.

Should I read Game of Thrones?

9/5/2011 11:17:46 PM

No.

9/5/2011 11:49:27 PM

Don't read Game of Thrones.

Birds Make Good Neighbors is my favorite Rosebuds album, though the new one is their best since then. With that said, "Drunkard's Worst Nightmare" is my favorite Rosebuds song.

9/6/2011 3:31:40 AM

Braids or Diamond Rings or Annuals?

9/6/2011 3:38:07 AM

None?

9/6/2011 3:47:47 AM

THEN WHAT http://hopscotchmusicfest.com/schedule/

probably diamond rings since I'm shooting, i feel like he'll be somewhat visually interesting
