I am not sure what relevance this has but working in the transportation industry plus the militar I have lived in 5 countries 13 cities and 7 different US states in the last 30 years. Starting with Los Angeles where I grew up and now in Buffalo. I certainly have seen more then the average person.
Breand Wrote:[color=#FF0000]I completely disagree. Electronic music didnt exist in the past 50 years. Electric guitar revolutionized music. Sythesizers have changed music. Your previous examples in your previous thread represent commercial music only. There is plenty of amazing, unique artists out there that exist outside the mainstream
It didn't revolutionize music. Nothing has revolutionized it in 200 years.
It revolutionized the venues of how the common person views musical events and the cost associated with those events but the music itself hasn't changed at all. It certainly has changed how things sounds, but the music itself is still the same. A 1-4-5 chord progression played on a piano, acustic guitar or an electric guitar is still a 1-4-5 chord progression. They all have there unique sounds but it is still all the same music.
Please see my EQ with new avatars example with Hoof.

Same for Miyazaki and Almodovar. I also can't recall ever seeing anything quite like Pan's Labyrinth or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. There is plenty of originality out there, you just have to go looking for it.
Yea I have seen those movies before.
Mulholland Drive- Sunset Blvd or Vanilla Sky
Blue Velvet- Shadow of Doubt, About 6 Alfred Hitchcock films.
I might go with you that Lynch is original but Lynch is also a horrible film maker. He creates shit for 4 hour movies that get butchered to 2 and then you can't understand them. Plus who could ever forgive Dune. Lynch is a perfect example of what I am talking about. IF we run out of idea's is all we get for originality the David Lynch's of the world?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind- Xfiles did an episode on this very story. Frank Capra did a film on this about Twins (I will have to look up the name) Twins seperated at birth later find each other as best friends even though they didn't know they were twins. Hell even Jackie Chan did a movie like this.
We can keep going but the question I am asking is:
Can you make a movie today that hasn't already been made? Does man kind have a limited imagination?
