Spoiler Warning


Star Fox is one of the darker and more engaging soundtracks of first party SNES games. A lot of the negativity expressed by TYP is a bit unwarranted, especially his comparison to Star Fox 64. Being presented on the next generation of Nintendo consoles, it would seem to make lots and lots of sense that the quality would higher.

But even if TYP meant compositionally and not technically better, I would argue that Hirasawa's soundtrack lacks the fluff and the near constant motif repetition that almost all of Kondo's soundtracks have, including (and especially) Star Fox 64.

Everyone was talking over each other and going too fast.

Relax guys, we don't mind if you have to skip some stuff that didn't get discussed because of the last weeks issues.

(On a lighter note, I sometimes notice Jonny exhales very loudly during the podcast [usually when James butts in]. He sounds like he wants to kill someone. I like it.)

I'll offer Jonny endless hours of free man-love if he promises not to eat/chew his tongue during the show anymore.

General Chat / Re: Oscars wut

No awards for Superbad means the Oscars are made of fail.

Or, perhaps, higher quality films.

Anyway, 2007 didn't really have any spectacle hits in my opinion. I don't see the appeal of No Country for Old Men, but with hipster-dom reaching new levels of pervasiveness (look at the Wii), the Cohen Brother's weirdness is likely to appeal to a large following. I can appreciate a departure from the norm of Hollywood like anyone else, but when the entire grand point of your film has nothing to do with the characters the audience gets to watch for over 80% of it-- I tend to be disappointed when all is said and done.

The Bourne Ultimatium for Best Editing is a bunch of bull****. The film is barely watchable. The level of shaky cam and face and body shots that touch the camera is present in retarded amounts.

Actually wait, I take it back. Piecing together all of those ****ty, shaky takes into a semi-cohesive product is an achievement worth merit!

Crash Bandicoot is like the BBC of video games;

all girth, no climax.

RFN has gotten so much better since Sklens left.
