Futurama is criminally underrated. It got royally shafted by Fox. Zapp Branigan: I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies.
<div class="quote_poster">Voodoo Child Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Bender: Congratulations Fry, you've snagged the perfect girlfriend. Amy's rich, she's probably got other characteristics… Leela: Bender! Romance isn't about money! Bender: Oh, so it's just coincidence that Zoidberg here is desperately poor and miserably lonely? Please! Leela: For your information, it's because he's hideous! Dr. Zoidberg: Awww. Futurame ftw, again.</div> Excellent, I'm purchasing another season to my collection on Tuesday when sales hit the stores. I also can't wait for the new episodes/movies in 2008! One of my favorite moments is from the first season. Probably not exact, but I'm sure you'll remember it anyway: Leela: Hey don't forget we have a crate to deliver. I don't want my first mission to be a failure. Fry: Aww, can't we just dump it down the sewer and say we delivered it? Bender: Too much work, let's burn it and say we dumped it down the sewer. Leela: If you guys are done being stupid .. Fry: Oh I had more, but go ahead.
It also had one of the smartest jokes I've ever heard on a cartoon before: 80's Guy: I was the king back in the 1980's. I was having whisky with Boesky and cookies with Milken. I had to look it up to really appreciate it. EDIT: That whole episode was awesome. I think it might be my favourite (along with the one where they get stuck on the Giant Amazonian's planet). Hermes: We can't compete with Mom! Her company is big and evil! Ours is small and neutral! '80s Guy: Switzerland is small and neutral! We are more like Germany: ambitious and misunderstood! '80s Guy: Let's practice your execu-speak. "I'm worried about blank." Fry: Don't you worry about blank. Let me worry about blank [later] Leela: Fry, we're worried about Planet Express. Fry: Don't you worry about Planet Express. Let me worry about blank.
Agreed on Futurama. I'm a huge fan, so I'd probably type a lot of stuff on it, but I'm on my laptop, and I type slow as hell on this thing. It's got the Simpsons type of humor though (same writers, all Ivy League grads and pro comedians), and it's surrealistically trippy at times (ie: the episode with the boxes that contained alternate universes, the episode where Leela goes into a coma, etc.). This is the saddest things I've ever seen in an animated comedy too - Invalid Video Link That's just great, versatile writing. Bender: Look, no offence, but I need technology. Especially e-mail and snowmobiles. And television! Without television how will I know what's buzz-worthy? ----- Fry: It's all lies, every word of it. He wasn't original, he wasn't a martian, he wasn't Philip Fry, and since when is he a "the"? Bender: You're twice the "the" he ever was. ----- Narrator: [voice-over; in movie] After a whirlwind fling with Icelandic supermodel Njord, Fry scored a string of top 10 hits with his rock band Leaf Seven, known for their hypnotic rhythms, driving baselines and memorable hooks. Fry: That's what I'm known for! I just hope that when they come back, they don't go down the tube and start targeting younger demographics like Family Guy did.
<div class="quote_poster">Voodoo Child Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Models don't make that much money. I read this thing in Forbes a while ago that had the top 15 earning models, and once you got down to #15, you were only talking about a million a year. Actually, here's the link. I actually don't find a lot of them attractive, especially the first two, but Alessandra Ambrosio looks beautiful from that pic (never seen any other pics of her though). Heidi Klum is hot too, but Gisele Bundchen, the top earning model, is kinda a butterface. Anyway, point is, she's not on that list, so she makes under $1 million a year for sure, maybe she's even borderline six figures, and Jeff Garcia has a networth of about $31 million, so the big money for a lot of models is still in marrying guys like him.</div> Hmmmmmm... fair enough I guess. But still, Jeff Garcia? Surely she could've hooked up with a Rapper or somthing, lol. <div class="quote_poster">Umair Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">You can have a like 30 something songs in a playlist, you then get the code for it, paste in your profile.

I've never heard of this before. I want to do it to my MySpace
It's a playlist that everyone still clicks the pause button on when they go to your page. I find that so laughable. That's the first thing people do on someone's MySpace. It's like, "I don't want to listen to your crappy music tastes, I just want to look at your pictures in those new booty shorts you have on." Is that just me?

The worst are people who put country music on there (everyone I know from high school) and the white people who put obnoxious rap songs on there (everyone I know from UM). For those two reasons alone, I browse MySpace with my speakers off.

My theory is that they just want to have a relationship with someone like themselves instead of a manly man. They want a manicured, flip-flop man feet sporting, way-too-tight-shirt-wearing boy toy douche.

<div class="quote_poster">Mamba:</div><div class="quote_post">I do want a Beckham jersey though, those things are sweet.</div> Yeah, the new LA kit looks sharp. You should definitely get one because Adidas footy kits are made some of the best material I've ever worn. I love the feel because it is really soft on the skin and clings to you just right. Trust me, if you haven't tried one on before you should be pretty stoked. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Voodoo Child Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I just hope that when they come back, they don't go down the tube and start targeting younger demographics like Family Guy did.</div> I don't think so actually. They only planned 16 episodes/4 films and they're basically being made for closure. I'm sure this is to end the show. So, nobody else here reads Get Fuzzy?
Hey Chutney, did you see Blanco scored in his debut for the Fire against Celtic? I think the guy may be the right choice for the Fire afterall. He still has the moves and the attitude. The match ended in a draw and the Fire were like a brand new squad last night.
By four films, do you mean theatrical releases? That'd be amazing. I rarely get into movies anymore, but I'd be first in line to see a Futurama film. Hey M, what do you think of Saeglopur? I keep playing that track over and over again, and I watched the video again on YouTube today (going on the third time) and didn't understand it. I was hoping maybe you'd shed some light on it, knowing the lyrical content. It's like, this kid goes off into the water, he gets pulled down by an octopus-like thing, then he gets trapped in seaweed, and then gets rescued, but it doesn't show if he's even dead or alive at that point. I'm confused as hell. Whatever it means though, the imagery is powerful, as is the song.

That's the only information I know except that Fatboy Slim is mixing the opening track. Yeah, most of their songs have that strange feeling I think. Hopp?polla is an exception, that track just makes me happy. So, S?gl?pur means "Lost At Sea." Below are some of the lyrics I know to the song, Icelandic to English. I think you can have your answers within that little bit as to how it all ends in the music video. I love songs that make you think differently. It is a very compelling track. It brings out a lot of emotion. ? l?fi Kominn heim S?gl?pur ? l?fi Kominn heim ?a? kemur kafari Alive Has returned home A lost seafarer Alive Has returned home A diver comes I know you like Hopp?polla the most, so here are the lyrics to that as well. The song title means "Hopping Into Puddles." Remember that J?nsi often sings in his "own language" known as Hopelandic at times. There is no translation because they're just nonsense lyrics that often resemble the notes of the music being played. That is some of the simple genius behind this band. Brosandi Hendumst ? hringi H?ldumst ? hendur Allur heimurinn ?sk?r Nema ?? stendur Rennblautur Allur rennvotur Engin g?mm?st?gv?l Hlaupandi inn ? okkur Vill springa ?t ?r skel Vindurinn Og ?tilykt af h?rinu ??nu Eg lamdi eins fast og ?g get Me? nefinu m?nu Hopp?polla I engum st?gv?lum Allur rennvotur (rennblautur) I engum st?gv?lum Og ?g f? bl??nasir En ?g stend alltaf upp (Hopelandic) Og ?g f? bl??nasir Og ?g stend alltaf upp (Hopelandic) Smiling Spinning 'round and 'round Holding hands The whole world a blur But you are standing Soaked Completely drenched No rubber boots Running in us Want to erupt from a shell Wind in And outdoor smell of your hair I hit as fast as I could With my nose Hopping into puddles Completely drenched Soaked With no boots on And I get a nosebleed But I always get up (Hopelandic) And I get a nosebleed But I always get up (Hopelandic)
You know, now that I'm reading those lyrics, it almost takes some of the magic out of their songs knowing what they're saying. The frontman's voice is amazing though. (I googled him, and I'm not even going to attempt to spell his name, lol) I wonder if playing the guitar with a cello bow is what makes his vocals seem so haunting or if it's just his natural voice that's so insanely high (in a good falsetto way, not in a whiney emo sort of way. I'd compare it to being sort of like Matt Bellamy's voice from Muse). BTW - I'm watching the video for Untitled #1, and it's real enigmatic (not a surprise after seeing their others). It's got a lot of imagery that's almost post-WWII, with the gas masks and all.
I understand your point of view, but I don't think it should take any magic away over time. Especially if you know the lyrics to Gl?s?li. Those are some of my favorite out there. Check for yourself. I think knowing the lyrics to this song makes it far greater. N? vaknar ?? Allt vir?ist vera breytt Eg g?gist ?t En er svo ekki neitt Ur-sk?na finn svo A n?ttf?tum h?n I draumi fann svo Eg h?kk ? ko?nun Me? s?linni er h?n Og er h?n, inni h?r En hvar ert ??? Legg upp ? g?ngu Og t?lti g?tuna S? ekkert ?t Og nota stj?rnurnar Situr endalaust h?n Og klifrar svo ?t Gl?s?li-leg h?n Komdu ?t Mig vaknar draum-haf Mitt hjarta?, sl? Ufi? h?r Sturlun vi? fjar-?? Sem skyldu-skr? Og h?r ert ?? Fannst m?r Og h?r ert ?? Gl?s?li (repeats) Og h?r ert ?? Now that you're awake Everything seems different I look around But there's nothing at all Put on my shoes, I then find that She is still in her pyjamas Then found in a dream I'm hung by an anticlimax She is with the sun And it's out here But where are you? Go on a journey And roam the streets Can't see the way out And so use the stars She sits for eternity And then climbs out She's the glowing sun So come out I awake from a nightmare My heart is beating Out of control I've become so used to this craziness That it's now compulsory And here you are I'm feeling And here you are, Glowing sun (repeats) And here you are
I love those lyrics. I'm a sucker for a lot of those "poetic" words (dream, sun, stars, nightmare, etc.) that evoke broader emotions and images in my head that have nothing to do with the song's theme. If I ever took a stab at writing for the bands I jammed with in high school, I'd try to fill my writing with words like that. That's not knocking them. I'm just rambling on about nothing. When I said that it took some magic away from it though, I didn't mean they were bad lyrics, because all three of the songs you've posted are great lyrically. I was just saying that it takes something away from his voice as an instrument, as it would with any singer who's singing in a foreign language. Instead of just singing notes, he's now singing words. EDIT: That all comes off as some sort of critique of their lyrics, but I was really praising them, so don't take anything negative out of that, lol. I love these guys btw, they've really grown on me in these past few days, especially over the course of this past night.
