"Neon Bible" was mostly a disappointment, not gonna lie.  Although No Cars Go Is A GREAT song.  Between that and Haiti they make great summer driving songs.

I have never heard of Natalie Portman's Shaved Head. I will have to check them out.

It's odd, Neon Bible has some catchy tunes, but overall it's like they threw it together with no effort. "No Cars Go" was on their EP first, and I only like the new version cause it's faster. So odd though. Funeral was orchestral and epic, like they found a room full of wonderful instruments and just went at it. While Neon Bible seems more electronic and closed up, like they had limited time and resources but had to come up with something. Plus, while the name is cool, the actual song "Neon Bible" sucks big time.

Be warned about NPSH: They are ridiculous to the utmost extent. It's like they don't like the music they make or something, but it's so good that they have to make it. They're too young to appreciate their own irony. Needless to say, their lyrics are only worth their weight in comedy.

Their video is a perfect example: http://www.vimeo.com/1507417

I am looking forward too it as well.


Yea the CGI looks amazing. Loads of time was spent on small details like that Im sure. When you do see it in theaters let me know if its really worth paying for. I may go see it then. :lol:

Uh, I don't think it's CG. I think it's all costumes and anamatronics, actually.

Aye, looks incredible too.  George Lucas should take a hint from this.

The movie has actually been on hold for a long time, 3-4 years. The Director wouldn't make the movie unless he could use costumes and anamatronics, but most Producers wanted it in CGI. Luckily he found a like mind which I think is for the better.

Alright, was finally able to see the trailer...Looks good...Spike Jonze, that's cool...Seems like it could be one of the few non-suck adaptations...Though I don't recall it being a movie-length type of book...*shrugs* I could be wrong as it wasn't a great favorite of mine or anything...
