Dangerously close to Smurfs live action

Super awesome.
As a composer/musician/smurf, I find that most of the music that might fall under "electronica" is the immediate pleasure; it's easy to assemble and instantly satisfying. It's also the easiest way to make money. "Classical" music is the ultimate compositional challenge and nothing engages me so fully as the process of creating it.
Still, I don't think that's a reason to frown on trance/electronica/whatever. Snobbery and elitism never gets anyone anywhere and if an individual finds reward and a creative outlet in electronic music, they deserve nothing but encouragement.
TLDR; elitism in the field of creativity sucks huge balls.


I desagree , to make a comercaily sucsessfull and noticable Dance track is just as hard as making anny other form of music if not harder due to the saturatoin of music in this ganra because of its accessablity.

I would argue its far esear to make money from "classical" music as you can produce classical music of a very low standerd (relative to productoin quality of whats out there) but people will haplily hand over mor cash for it because of the bullshit factor.

allso most musicians make money from doing sound tracks and acompanying music rather than music bought directly by the publick and fact is general trancy stuff is not realy wanted that much , over basic clasical style music or just general music ( the sort u hear in tv programs or documentries or acompanying games).


But as you say , in the end its not realy important so long as the end product is injoyable the complexity is not realy an issue.

Yes I get to keep my Smurf outfit. If there is a smurf gathering in the future, I'll wear it with pride

The jacket is very good quality, so I'll probably wear it again.

Nicely done to all our ahtletes- we're all super proud. Question for you, zifnab... you get to keep the Smurf outfit?

Dude. The Smurfs. Like, y'know'm'say'n?

hmm, he didn't make any reference to smurfs, i guess that was too obvious

Saw it today, and it's fantastic. Like dag said, a must see, and a must-see in IMAX 3D.

The characters and story managed to elicit quite an emotional response, the visuals are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, the ethical resonance is strong and it hits uncomfortably close to home.

BTW, the storyline isn't cliche or classic, it's epic. You've seen it before a thousand times, but it still gets you when it's done right, and this is done right.

Alternatively, if you're like me, and need your expectations lowered, it is a retelling of Fern Gully with giant alien smurfs, with about 90% of the movie in CGI.

Or, it's like the Wizard of Oz for the 21st century.

The original term schtroumpf and the accompanying language came during a meal Peyo was having with his colleague and friend André Franquin in which, having momentarily forgotten the word "salt" Peyo asked him (in French) to pass the schtroumpf. Franquin replied: "Here's the Schtroumpf — when you are done schtroumpfing, schtroumpf it back" and the two spent the rest of that weekend speaking in schtroumpf language.[2] The name was later translated as Smurf into Dutch, which was adopted in English.

The best discussions ever are about the nature of the one female vs multiple male society the Smurfs have. Especially when all the people discussing are drunk.

Wow, I haven't seen Avatar yet but I have to say none of that grabbed me. I work as a 3d artist and it pains me to think of what some people had to go through to make that happen. I causes no lesser amount of displeasure to say Mel Gibson beat James Cameron in the jungle native waterfall dismount category. Watch Apocolypto if you haven't already. Much better chase scenes, way less smurfs.
