That has to be awesome. I don't like watching the movie in public, especially the end. It isn't manly to bawl like a baby. LOL


To be honest, the whole trilogy was filmed around NZ, but if you walk up my street a bit you can see the studios where they filmed most of the scenes. It's kind of like a NZ treasure now.

I knew it was filmed there, and it looks amazing. I remember on the special features disk they talked about a scene that they set up but they didn't use it until the next year.


That whole trilogy means so much for NZ. From the publicity/tourism to the development of visual arts.

I knew it was important for tourism(it is basically one long commercial LOL) but I didn't know it was important for visual arts.

Technically I think even 2 is potentially a good album, but specifically only for fans of the band/style.

For instance:

No-Man Schoolyard Ghosts album cover

Boring?  Lord yes.

Memorable?  Once in a while.

Good?  Most of the time.

Pleasant?  Definitely.

Prog?  Not on your life.

Winamp is in a symphonic prog mood today.  First the Enid, then Genesis, now this?  Thankfully at least two of three are amazing albums.

Which two? SEbtP and TFTO?

Yeah, I can't say I'm too madly impressed by In the Region of the Summer Stars...I'd say I'd give it like a 3 star.


It's rather boring to me.

Yeah, but I wouldn't say it was unpleasant for me to listen to.  Only things which are unpleasant for me to listen to are worthy of 1 or 2 stars in my personal rating system.


Boring but pleasant can either be a two or three for me- depends on a number of other issues.

I guess that's true.  In this album's case, though, it had a couple songs which stood out a bit, so it'd definitely get the three either way.

I haven't made it to The Spell yet.  The music is nice, but it seems to have too much symphonic and not enough rock for my tastes.  I'm kind of spreading my listens out rather than all together because otherwise I'd probably sleep through the next one anyways.

Scott put it well, they have more symphonic than rock.  They're not a bad band, but not something I'd always listen to.
