I review every song on OK Computer!
 
Airbag

Okay this song is just awful. There are Christmas bells in it. This song isn't built for Christmas. He's talking about war and spacemen. So maybe if your idea of Christmas is meeting up with Martians, I mean, if you're into MST3k you've likely seen the classic Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. It's a bit like that.

So apparently this song's underlying theme is reincarnation and time travel. He comes back in an interstellar blast to save the universe and he is born again, which ties into the Christmas theme. Thom Yorke is a born-again Christian.

That's.. what this guitar solo is about. It's a very, very spiritual thing for Thom. It's how he became a car, since Thom Yorke can do anything. The ending of this song is a few bleeps and blips that hide a message of things to come: Thom Yorke is transcending into android status.

And 99% of the board will file this topic under the "Who gives a fuck?" file.

You people have zero sense of humor. Are you the kinds of people who don't even laugh at comedians? My roommate was like that, he'd sit down and watch Family Guy and never even smile, it's really quite freaky to watch a show meant for comedy if you aren't going to laugh.

Jeremy 05.19.2009 02:38 AM

That's true.... It would just be different if this was actually, you know, funny, or at least some form of entertaining.

Oh, I do too, which is why I said "meant for comedy". It's like why would someone watch a so-called "comedy" show if they aren't going to laugh at it? Perhaps he sees Family Guy as a nail-biting drama, and, like, I don't know, nip/tuck is his brand of comedy.

seconded.

summer 05.19.2009 03:55 AM

Uhhhh who's the one who informed everyone of the new maudlin of the Well before everyone else? Me.
Who was too busy listening to shitty noise music that a three year old could make instead? You guys.

_slavo_ 05.19.2009 04:00 AM

Yeah, right.

SonicBebs 05.19.2009 04:10 AM

as long as you give Let Down 10/10 its all good

atsonicpark 05.19.2009 05:09 AM

Yeeeeeeeeeah. I just want to say, again, here... Family Guy isn't funny. It's entertaining (if a bit annoying), though -- don't get me wrong... but that kind of humor is a bit... humorless (oh man! Random references to random shit! A 3 year old could write this material! Skeletor busting through a wall screaming "SHOW ME DA MONEY!" HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA). Just... eh. I think it's probably the worst comedy ever made next to Seth Macfarlane's other shitty projects.

..

Even though this thread is silly/pointless (like most of Summer's other threads), summer accomplished his goal and actually made me laugh. Well, I was actually laughing, thinking of that episode of MST3K. But it worked! Also, Airbag IS a bad song, I think... never saw the big deal with it, it's straight-up boring.

Oh, and Jeremy, I'm sorry we fought when you first joined on the board. You're starting to become one of my favorite posters now. Haha.

Is that from troll 2? Haven't seen it in years but absolutely love it. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

noisereductions 05.19.2009 08:10 AM

Yes! Troll2 is incredible. I love that movie!

I just found out that Joe D' did a Troll3 in Italy. But here's the kicker: he actually made 2 films called Troll3 in Italy. One that has nothing to do with the other Troll films, but then one of them is something about a sword, and it does feature a Troll character who seems to re-use a costume from Troll2. I can't recall the alternate title now. But I found a clip on YouTube a while ago, and it was hilarious. I'd love to find the third film.

atsonicpark 05.19.2009 08:41 AM

The alternate title for Troll 3 was... uh.. Creepies or some shit I think? It had plant creatures or some shit. I remember reading about it a while back.
But.. I'm too lazy to look it up now.

noisereductions 05.19.2009 09:12 AM

yr thinking of Crawlers. Which is about plants or something. But then there's another Troll 3 which actually has a Troll as the main character. Hang on.

noisereductions 05.19.2009 09:14 AM

Quest For The Mighty Sword (1990)
aka Troll 3: The Hobgoblin
(not to be confused with Hobgoblins, which is super awful)
