"The Tic Tac that's frosty as crazy!"

Maybe I heard that wrong... but in context it feels like a jab at those "crazy" Inuit.

Nope, not edited at all. That's his speech in it's entirety. I think he just has a nervous tic.

Thank you, Schmaw-bro!

Man, I thought that "Tic-Tac Box Orchestra" was going to be the name of an indie band.
..well, I guess it is, kinda

De nada, amigo.

Yeah Madsen is part of the same sound from northern Germany, though they are not from Hamburg.

You might also want to check out Selig, another a bit rockier act from Hamburg (and sometimes also a bit psychedelic)

There are a few more popular german acts with female leads, though they are usually more pop than rock. Check em out anyway, some good tracks from some of them.

Klee (from Cologne)

2Raumwohnung (from Berlin)

Wow, thanks a lot! I can really see what you mean with them having the same style of music, they've all got that sort of clean electric guitar thing going on for the most part. These bands sound decent, but I think I really like Tomte's music better from what I've heard so far (listened to two songs by each of the bands you linked me to). I really liked the vocals on Blumfeld's "Tics" and Pohlmann's "Fluechten." Most of those bands were a little more pop than my tastes, but Virginia Jetzt! had a pretty cool rock feel to them. I noticed they have Madsen as one of their friends, a band that I plan to check out.

Another German band I recently got into is Slut, I think Schmawy or somebody sifted one of their songs on here a while back.

Yeah,
they are from my hometown Hamburg and have become quite big lately.
In the recent years a few bands emerged from Hamburg with the same style of music.
It even lead to the coining of the term "Hamburger Schule" (Hamburg School) to describe it.

I made a list for you. Check em out:

She's 100% right. If you can't trust a twitchy Jesus freak with more facial tics than Joe Cocker, then who can you trust?

I'd be more inclined to believe he just screwed up his lines and didn't realise he was "live" than believe it was a bout of Tourettes. Usually Tourettes sufferers have some sort of physical tic and despite what movies and TV would have you believe, it's rare that their bouts are only swear words.

My God! Those are missiles!

HELLO DR. FALKEN
CARE TO PLAY TIC TAC TOE?

Sorry to keep pissing on your delusional fan-wagon Dag ol' boy....that nasty Aussie sun may be the culprit for the fan-tas-tic pipe dream.....There are no candidates worth watching, the emperor wears no clothes, and needs killin'....

This is a ballsy movie. Love the costumes, makeup and animatronics. The location shooting always bothered me though, even as a 10 year old. Oz movies should be made on elaborate sets in a studio with controlled lighting.

I think less controlled light adds to the somber tone that the Director and DP look to have been aiming for. Things are no longer beautiful, just as the Emerald City no longer shimmers in green. Note especially the end of the film during the party scene, similar to Star Wars, Tic-Toc is polished, everyone is shimmering; more luminescent colors.


You could show that Oz has become a less inviting place without lighting the thing like Italian Spider-Man.
