2001 is a perfect example of many things. *Sigh* what a great, great film.

This should be "What would any video game character say to the above post?", that'd be better.

I have ANGST because my little girl cousin recently has created a dance she calls the "spunky pony". She dances around a clicks her tongue and then sings "spunkaaay ponayyys". Never has there been such a frightening display on this fragile Earth. If I here those two words together again, I can't be held responsible for my actions.

I just got back from seeing WALL-E. It was really, really good.

I'm seeing it tomorrow! Can't wait.

They really brought out the weird in Luigi for SMBB, with the trippy final smash sequence, "bang bang" taunt when you win, and other stuff like that.

If you put it that way, having an 8-year old member has its good side too.

Anyway, back to classical.

I sound heavily biased against modern music. Perhaps I should rephrase some of that. I like modern music too. I'm into lots of indie and some dance music.  And I love older acts like David Bowie, Led Zeppelin (as my first screen name would have it), and others. I just find more meaning in classical than most else.

If anything, Mario is very slightly pudgy. I swear, at this forum you can't say anything without it being crucially analyzed.

I've noted before that I am not very keen on the idea of a musical genre -- it limits expression. But if I had to choose a zenith to all music, it would be classical. It is impossible to find music with more intelligence or emotion, in this way it exposes the shocking tastelessness of today's pop music. What irks me is when I ask young people my age if they like classical. Most say that it's too boring, which is an indication of their lack of musicality. I've also been told it doesn't have enough anger. Listen to some Rachmaninov and you will find more ferocity than any screamo band out there. And classical composers all have incredibly interesting lives, Beethoven being probably the best example. For such beautiful music to come from a deaf man is truly a notable human achievement. Let's all give some love to classical.

Oh, and if you appreciate classical, what are your favorite composers? I'm mainly into Brahms, Chopin, Beethoven, and Handel.

Regular sports games are usually too bland for me, that's why it's better if they have Mario characters in them.
