this goes to americans exclusivly i reckon? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I work on the magazine, and I'm from the UK.... any country is fine. Most of the contacts are in the US currently, but its possible to sort business out with new people too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aw.. they already interviewed .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
THAT'S IT!! the site is covered with your avatar! I was wondering where I had seen that K! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn, no go for me then... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why not? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was kidding above...see, my english is not that good...not for a magazine. im sure there are many capable people interested in this, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a proper one :) |

look at that.. Richard D. James comments on "Pi".. Have you seen the movie Pi? Yes I saw it. The movie was bad, I think they could have done it a lot better. A lot of people told me it was really good but I must've seen a different movie than them. For starters, that computer, what was up with that? Why didn't they just use a PC? I don't understand what was the need of that big machine! yes and in all that music, why didn't they just use NORMAL instruments, eh? eh? eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"in all that music," what music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the music used in the film! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, coz it would obviously sound different? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll do it! ...but first I need to graduate... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the same guy who "interviewed" Aphex Twin (he had a chat with him and then later penned down what he remembered) also interviewed Puddle of Mudd. oh dear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes.. which also answers the question why they didn't use a normal PC in "Pi" - it would look different. therefore have a different meaning and more importantly, completely different effect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see...i was thinking what you were thinking...but honestly, it wouldn't made a big difference if they used a pc instead...it's silly rdj pointed that out :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the reason why they didn't just use a pc is cause the film is based in the 70's... i'm so disappointed now... i don't know if i can ever listen to rdj again :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe he was trying to say that he prefers substance over visuals... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't know Pi was set in the 70's, that's not my fault, that's the fault of the filmmakers. I do know that film was shit though, that wasn't my fault either, that was the fault of the filmmakers. I will write for your magazine, I have written quite a lot of reviews and bits before, I can send them on to you or not, as the case may be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i don't think it's the fault of the filmmakers that it wasn't clear, because it wasn't necessary for it to be clear, it'd be really lame if they'd tossed in some gratuitous milieu just so we could all say, "oh! a fro! THIS MUST BE THE 1970s!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how can you tell it was set in the 70'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i've done writing for . Reviews and interviews, but i don't know the status of it currently. Is this a paying gig? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know, i really can't remember now... but there was something about it that made it clear, like it was mentioned in passing or something... next time i watch it i'll try to find what it was... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if it's integral to the film that it's set in the 70s then YES THEY DO HAVE TO MAKE IT CLEAR and if they have any talent they'll do it without employing a big fucking disco ball that flashes THIS IS THE 70s but then then the makers of Pi wouldn't have had the wit because it's a shit film with a so-so soundtrack. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it would have made a big difference, in mood alone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's only normal. it'd be weird if we'd agree twice in a week. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it really integral to the film? so far the only reason that has come up in this thread is that Dickie thought there should have been a normal pc in it... personally, i'm a fan of pi (i think it's way better than Requiem For A Dream), but that just me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it should be shorter...i got bored a bit at times.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dear kludge, sorry... we all suffer from attention deficit dis... ah fuck it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't think pi was as bad as some people make out. perhaps they're being overly reactionnary because their hopes were too high.. ..as for the music magazine, i'd like to be involved. |
||||||||

"Have you seen the movie Pi? Yes I saw it. The movie was bad, I think they could have done it a lot better. A lot of people told me it was really good but I must've seen a different movie than them. For starters, that computer, what was up with that? Why didn't they just use a PC? I don't understand what was the need of that big machine! " Thank you Richard! Smart man. Movie blew. It was pointless. 3/10 I give it, abouts. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
is it actually a physical magazine? or just an internet-based mag? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've changed my mind, that big computer and the ambiguity over the decade in which the narrative takes place totally undermine the film as a whole. pi is shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuckers. Pi is good. And it was suppose to be like a bit timeless in a way, eventhough it was dated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, no.. clearly a big computer and nobody quite knowing whether it was set in the age of big computers or not makes pi an utterly terrible piece of cinema. even richard says so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I don't care that the computer is old. It's just like they had a very rudamentary understanding of math and then turned it into a bunch of numerology B-S. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"clearly a big computer and nobody quite knowing whether it was set in the age of big computers" does it matter when it was set? There was no cellphones, no internet, etc. (shown in the movie). Anyway I think the big disk he got in the mail gave it away, but the movie wasn't about when it was set - if you thought that was the main conflict, you have misinterpreted the movie. |

are you not a native english speaker? i assumed you were. there's nothing wrong with your english. have a look through some of the articles on the kludge magazine site - the writing's pretty poor, in my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Clearly we have our wires crossed Key_Secret. It pains me to have to make it explicit, I would have credited you with more than this, but I was joking. Now re-read my posts and see if it comes clear this time around. ;) VLetr: There REALLY is some appalling writing on the site, isn't there? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
god some of it is terrible, really substandard. using the same adjective twice in one sentence would be considered sloppy for a 12 year-old, for fuck's sake. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Key_Secret? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh hi. I figured it was a joke, in the way you wrote it (the way you refered to RDJ gave it away) though I felt like making a semi-serious reply anyway. I am at school now, and at an After Effects-class... hence the delay in my reply. peace :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no worries. what's "after-effects" by the way? we never had any classes with exciting names when I was at school. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
acrid milk hall > It's an Adobe After Effects-class... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, nice. makes more sense now. |
