recommendations lost and found

[sev]

some more (good, or at least entertaining) martial arts movies. i've already seen a lot of famous modern ones (ip man, ong bak, fearless, hero, kung fu hustle, shaolin soccer, crouching tiger etc), but as far as pre-90's go i've only seen stuff by bruce lee and jackie chan. no crap like forbidden kingdom, shanghai knights, rush hour and the tuxedo (you know the awful american cash-in films). the more ridiculous the better!!

try this movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom-Yum-Goong (called "The Protector". i wanted to link it as such, but this new system links things really weird and i don't have time to figure it out right now hfgjh), i liked it. but yeah i second that otherwise, if anyone's got some more good martial arts movies i'm down

ok ill admit i really didnt want recommendations i just like going 'i said GOOD bands' when someone suggests me a band ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@sev: check out hajime no ippo its a boxing anime and one of the longest ongoing mangas ever. i know sport animes have a bad rep but after this you will think otherwise

i have actually heard of hajime no ippo and kind of wanted to check it out, but yeah, i was worried about sports anime/manga. i'll check it out soon

this is a very cool idea sev. recently i was thinking about making a thread about PEOPLE YOU ADMIRE and like to listen to/read about

can you recommend me any scientists/speakers/cool people with interesting views who have video blogs/podcasts/lectures/ shit like that? i dont have much time to read their books but i do lisen to a lot of their stuff... so if you are like me and enjoy that kind of stuff please share with me some more brain stimulation. Ii would really appreciate it

(recently ive been listening to a lot of debates and talks by frank zappa/neil degrasse tyson/penn jillette/maquio/carl sagan/others.) so really this could be a pretty broad request.

just some cool shit to listen to in the wee hours of the night to keep me up and working

o well i was genuinely asking i want 2 broaden my library but the pixies cmon who doesnt know the pixies

built to spill (90's indie, their album "there's nothing wrong with love" is kinda similar to pavement)
andrew jackson jihad (current/recent folk/punk/indie band. kinda like if neutral milk hotel collided with bomb the music industry!)
minus the bear (these guys are really interesting, they're almost like a "math pop" band, if you can imagine such a thing)
faraquet (some of the best and tighest math rock i've ever heard. they sound like a D.C. band, so kinda similar to fugazi. but different)
uh you probably know these bands but the shins, dinosaur jr., modest mouse
american football (indie/math rock/emo band from the late 90's)
algernon cadwallader (kind of a revival of the style of music that american football played, but a but more upbeat and punky)

[psi43]

i'm looking for shows like Dexter and Breaking Bad. I heard that "6-feet Under" is supposed to be a good show but i haven't had the chance to check it out yet.

If anyone has seen it, please tell me whether it's good or not or - if you have a different suggestion - i'd be glad to check it out.

I've seen one episode of californication, it's always sunny in philadelphia and walking dead and aside from the last one, i didn't enjoy them too much.

try m83, the vaccines, the naked and famous, dananananaykroyd, the velvet underground, japandroids, maybe kasabian



speaking of which, i want some new music myself actually. i haven't been listening to enough music lately but when i have, i've been enjoying really upbeat poppy music lately with fun choruses. i've also been liking good chiptune music but i'll make a post when i look for some of that more later

until then, pass me some pop-structured stuff like this:

君に胸キュン。 (yasutaka nakata capsule remix)
Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn
Sea Through Communication - School Food Punishment
Miike Snow - Cult Logic
Best Coast - When I'm With You [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

and if you have anything like the bands i've been listing for abnormal, i'm down for some of those too
