I always wanted to know just how many of the sound effects Winslow actually did. Some of those seemed utterly impossible.

No, the first two are still pretty far from decent. The only reason they should be viewed is as a particularly embarrassing and depressing time capsule.

Yeah, I remember the first one came on TV a few years back and I thought "oh, cool, the good one" and watched it. Bad to the point of discomfort. Makes the 1980s feel as distant from the present as the 50s felt from the 80s. Which they now are, I know, but Alien and Blade Runner were from years before, and they don't…

His impression of cunnilingus using his hairy forearm is pretty hilarious, admittedly.

"Half Life" is the most nuclear strength music ever recorded.

My sole bone to pick with this movie is how it may be a big factor behind everyone speaking like this?

Really? I like classical music too, but opening a song with xylophone playing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" is just too twee for fucking words.

If the comments I've heard from American women are any indication, it's not like men in that country aren't expected to conform to a surgically modified genital ideal.

I think that shit cover done by all those kids on the guitar caught and amplified the cloyingness perfectly. Enraging. The success of that video is why public hype drives me away from movies and music.

I have an almost visceral reaction to any music featuring baby instruments like xylophones and glockenspiels, as favoured by Apple advertising.

Same experience with Saturday Night Live. Thought it would be camp, but it turned out to be the opposite.

I would argue that because we haven't created a recording system that accurately simulates how the eye works with regards to motion, higher frame rates just replace one form of artifice with another. Film doesn't have anything near the look of real vision (tiny dynamic range, editing, tight compositions, colour…

I think furries are a generational thing caused by those Disney afternoon animated series that peaked in the late 80s and early 90s. All that dawning sexuality combined with attractive mice, cat and bear girls and hey presto: furries.

I'll tell you that as a non-American, this is a two-sided story.

The word "Gonzo" might help.

Thanks to religion until 24, and a string of personal failures thereafter, mine lasted until 29 (although I did the beating-around-the-bush Christian thing).

Man, it's crazy. I am not terribly fussy about women meeting certain standards of beauty in order to get my approval (aren't I generous?) but browsing through porn websites, the sheer number of insanely beautiful women that are willing to do that stuff in front of a camera that would likely run screaming from a loser…

Criticising others for racism is just overcompensation.

I wonder if they'll interview any lapsed goths. All the older goths I knew in my twenties, now well into their 40s, are still kind of into it. Some goth styles are gentrified enough that one can remain a goth indefinitely without much comment.

Sure, but the heights The Orb reached were pretty crazy stuff. I've heard nothing as madly creative from any other electronic act barring Richard D. James. Pretty much nothing sounds like the sheer brain-meltiness of Orbus Terrarum, either in terms of the sonic palette or the slightly menacing weirdness of the humour…
