Kind of eerie without any narration.

So he is conscious of the camera, but not the other men using nearby urinals? Eerie dude.

Upvote for the eeriness of the nighttime/ music/ VOT combo.

I don't think it's a sample. It's a piano arpeggiating a root 5th and octave, which is a common device sometimes referred to as a 'pedal point'. The static nature of a 'pedal' provides tension and a constant from which the rest of the music can draw contrast. The 28 Days Later soundtrack has a cue called "In A Heartbeat" that uses a similar intro. Plenty of Thomas Newman and Philip Glass cues start out similarly too.


Thank you for this, I think my film-soundtrack-addled brain was mixing the 28 Days Later and Moon piano bits. I still get an eerie déjà-entendu everytime I listen to the Muse song...

I've spent many days/weeks in Seattle. Another great, great city. What I like about both is that on Sunday afternoons, in certain areas, they really are empty and you can really breathe in the history.>> ^PlayhousePals:

1. I love this city. If I had to live in one major city in America, it would be San Francisco.
2. Check out the same treatment of London in Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later. Eerie!

!. It's the only city I'd consider relocating to IF I had to leave Seattle
2. Agreed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6j5Pu7gQ-k

I'm curious if this video has an agenda. Certainly we all agree that experiments (particularly on human subjects) need to be carefully scrutinized. At this point we have agreed upon rules of proper conduct largely in response to some of these experiments and their global impact. It was a very different time.

Is the video meant to suggest that this sort of activity still persists in the west? It seems to be edited in the style of a modern propaganda film with its emotionally jarring hard cuts, eerie music, and so forth. It's fine to do a gentle "reminder piece," but this feels more like it's intended to encourage further distrust of science. Don't we have enough of that?

I would promote this if I could. I saw this firsthand while in China years back.


It must have been incredibly eerie ... thanks for the thought =o)

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

It's good stuff. I like jazz when I hear it, but I don't seek it out.
In reply to this comment by UsesProzac:
Did you like Bitches Brew?? Funky little piece, isn't it. Eerie.

Upvote for the eerie music!

I'd say the resemblance to #8 is even more eerie:

Eggshells are permeable to admit air; the egg will die of oxygen starvation quite quickly. If that's any help.

I imagine that's the same as it'd look in space.
Triggers an eerie hypothetical in my mind. If you just dropped eggs into the ocean (somewhere warm enough), when the baby chick started to peck its way out of the shell it'd drown itself. Poor thing.

@lucky760
Chick incubation requires about 100°F, so I doubt anywhere is warm enough. I was a Navy snipe, and the highest injection temperatures I ever saw for our main condenser was about 86°F. However, if you just wait a few more years...

True, but 1) I did say it was a hypothetical (focused around what would happen to the chick more than if it could actually hatch), and 2) temperatures reach well into hundreds of degrees Fahrenheit near hydrothermal vents.
That's hot enough for the spawning and evolution of strange new life forms that will literally never see the light of day. Just don't let the egg get too close or it'll boil.



Quite right! Totally valid point that resolves my hypothetical horror show, so it's a big help.
