Do we really need another movie of guys walking around a jungle, getting picked off one by one by invisible aliens until a climactic finish where the sole survivor beats the aliens and runs away from their self-destruct device?
I prefer the whole Aliens vs. Predator concept to just the Predators, though Requiem was beyond awful.


Well you sold me.

interesting cast and director.

I don't really associate that music from Requiem for a Dream with "epic" so much as "the most epically bad outcome possible".

The Alex Jones ones crack me up too. Not that "Requiem for Alex Jones" one though. That one's too long and has no goat.

the voices and instrumentation sounding in Mozart's head are communicated by some strange sort of psychic transfer to Salieri
I know they are (trying?) to be poetic here, but this is one of my favorite scenes ever put to film because of how not "psychic" it is. It's the best example I know of as to why studying music theory is important.
For one that has studied the theory and (spoken) language of music, saying lines like "violins, arpeggios, a descending scale in 8th notes, and then back to the ostinato again" is a highly accurate description of the violin piece for Voca Mei. He had said that it started in C with the vocal part earlier, so no more really needed to be said.
Such a well done movie, though...


I think what he's trying to say here is...Mediocrity, I absolve thee.

Another great sift! Mozart's Requiem = *bravo *music

As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I
There Armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by
No pipe did hum, no battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus Bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out through the foggy dew

Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud-El-Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew

'Twas England bade our wild geese go, that "small nations might be free";
Their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves or the fringe of the great North Sea.
Oh, had they died by Pearse's side or fought with Cathal Brugha*
Their graves we'd keep where the Fenians sleep, 'neath the shroud of the foggy dew.

Oh the night fell black, and the rifles' crack made perfidious Albion reel
In the leaden rain, seven tongues of flame did shine o'er the lines of steel
By each shining blade a prayer was said, that to Ireland her sons be true
But when morning broke, still the war flag shook out its folds in the foggy dew

Oh the bravest fell, and the Requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the spring time of the year
And the world did gaze, in deep amaze, at those fearless men, but few,
Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew

As back through the glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant men whom I never shall see more
But to and fro in my dreams I go and I kneel and pray for you,
For slavery fled, O glorious dead, when you fell in the foggy dew.

This and the Requiem for a Dream theme.

Look people, I know the Requiem theme is unnecessary!


Yeah it's not necessary because this video is already creepy enough.

If I hear the theme from Requiem from a Dream anymore, I'll commit some sort of -cide.
