    Saturday: 5555 (ohwaitamilost?). Actually not bad; surprised me, anyway. Especially since I thought Discovery was just somewhere between good and meh.

    Yesterday and today: I Love This Radio and Dreaming Of Brass Love. Thanks to (ocrduh), ThaSauce, PRC130, and Rexy (and ToN and DZ).

    Studio Ghibli

    Well that's a dozen more right there. I found Spirited and Mononoke on imdb's top 250 and watched (and thoroughly enjoyed) them recently, but the uneducated-on-Japanime me didn't realize they were from the same studio or that there was a studio with such a solid track record (three more on the top 250 plus a bunch more highly-rated films).

    I have yet to capitalize on this newly acquired knowledge, but I'm pretty sure this thread just made my next couple months.

    EDIT: I just realized that at least a handful of Studio Ghibli's works are on Veoh. So FYI: you all can watch some/most/all of their films for free. [Aside: I can't get the web player to work, but I can still use their software to download the movies and that's just as good for me.]

    A discussion on 5/4 time

    AH!Ahahhahahaha!!! That was priceless. Jeez, it has to be a joke because even I get it and I don't know jack about music (at least compared to the folks who post here on music theory).

    He's all like "the most popular song in 5/4 time is a well known song called Take Five" or whatever but unless I am mistaken, isn't the Mission Impossible theme song in 5/4 I am pretty sure that is a better known song

    I think he took for granted that, since his youtube title had "Jazz Piano" in it, his listeners would know the songs from one of the most famous jazz albums ever recorded.

    This thread just increased my to-watch list of movies by nearly a dozen, prompting imdb-ing and further additions. Even though Disney-ish movies (simple themes, overcoming of adversity, emphasis on morals, heartwarming stories, etc) are my favorite genre, I've somehow largely neglected them for the past few years. So thanks for this!

    Yes, All Dogs! And since it hasn't been mentioned, if you like that sort of movie then go watch The Brave Little Toaster. That's going way back in time I know, but it has darker bits (that scared the pants off of me as a kid) like have been mentioned in other movies (like All Dogs) plus a nice little adventure/reunion story. And it has Jon Lovitz as the radio!

    I wasn't impressed by the trailer of that newest Disney flick, but I hope the film proves wrong my initial estimations. Regardless, hooray animation!

    Underrated Game Soundtracks

    Spider sounds like it has a sweet soundtrack. Also, the first track posted smacks of Robert Smith. Jazz Jackrabbit was also awesome. Good finds in this thread. Ys' soundtrack, however, might be widely unknown to the casual gamer but it surely isn't underrated. Kind of like Vagrant Story's (shameless plug for my remix request).

    Silver Surfer, indeed. Follins take the underrated crown. In that vein: Sky Shark

    EDIT: Man, four tracks on that soundtrack and they left off the best one.

    Final Fantasy IV: Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption - History

    I must have missed a segment or something. Yang, Cid, Kain, FuSoYa and even though they don't really count, Young Rydia and Dark Cecil did not have a cape. Yang doesn't even have a shirt, lol. The ratio is still stacked toward the caped bearers, but not quite as bleak as 2 out of 11.

    Correct me if I am wrong.

    Cheaters like me go here. (shhhh Abadoss, don't give spoilers, there are only 11 characters!) As you can see, all except Cecil and Cid have capes or some other extraneous, dangling, cape-like appendage attached to their clothing.

    So ok, I should have said Cecil used to be badass enough. Thus the engineer remains, like always, the badassest. Yes.

    They should have called it the Insta-Druid .

    One time, many years ago, I told my parents I wanted a cape as a birthday present. They got this look that was like "who are you?". I never asked again. I still want a cape.
