Have you heard the Art Bears cover of Girls On Film?

They brought out the feminist subtext rather too overtly, I thought.


I thought the exploitation of girls on film by the capitalist oppressors was handled with suitable indignation on The World of Girls on Film as It Is Today. "The Song of the Dignity of Girls on Film Under Capital" is a classic clarion call.

I love Duran Duran's RIO and R.I.O. (Rock in Opposition). I would have liked to hear Univers Zero do a chamber rock cover of Duran Duran's RIO.

I love all of the core R.I.O. bands and a lot of later RIO festivals and related "avant prog" bands. "Chamber rock" is a favourite of mine.

EDIT: and Just to make that Man With Hat url clickable (the thread is 158 pages long): RIO/Avant Drop-In Centre (CLICK)



Logan, sorry for the off-topic but is the second season of Utopia any good? I really loved the first season

SPOILER ALERT!

until the ending. I think it was nonsense, so I didn't have the urge to watch the second season.

SPOILER ALERT!


Many didn't really like season two of Utopia, but I did, especially the first episode. I was upset that it got cancelled and there wasn't a season three. It was a bit disappointing that it didn't get a proper ending as I recall. That said, I don't recall having much of a problem with the ending of season one. I may be quite a forgiving viewer, and don't mind a little suspension of disbelief (I loved the whole feel of season one).

No problem, I've talked with a few at the forum when season two was on, or seen after it ended, and I seemed to be the only one who liked it. It was the same with another favourite of mine from around that time, The French supernatural drama Les Revenants (The Returned). I've seen the first season of Utopia a couple of times, not in quite a few years, and I plan to re-watch season two at some time. It feels quite relevant to what's going on today, and my long-time concern with overpopulation. It didn't stick with me as much as the first season of Utopia did (it can be a very brutal show for those who might want to look into it).

EDIT: There'a an episode of Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams with Steve Buscemi (Crazy Diamond, named after Syd Barrett) that has a similar aesthetic and sound -- a director (he directed half of the two series, including the first three brilliant episodes and three from series two) and the composer from Utopia did the original music.

Yep, I can say that the first season was quite plausible. It was of course in the scope of "temporary suspension of disbelief", yet that doesn't mean a fiction can't be realistic. I just didn't like its ending, for a specific reason (for me, a flaw and fail) in its ending. ı cannot vividly -or better, exactly and in full detail- remember, even if I did I would send you a PM to abstain from giving spoilers. It can be seen as an unwise move by a wise character, on the other hand. Maybe I was too judgemental. Star

Ah, and I've got big issues with over and ever growing population for ages, too.
