Sigur Ros - Gobbledigook (Live With Björk)
Phew! Usually by the end of a Sigur Ros song I'm balling my eyes out. I'm glad ALL their music won't do that now...
Sigur Ros - The greatest piece of music ever written.......
Sigur Ros are the masters of musical dynamics.
Sigur Ros - Glósóli video clip
I sometimes wonder if I will ever get tired of the Sigur Ros -formula- (music boxes, dramatic crescendos, heartbreaking melodies, etc; etc;)... not today.

Watching videos like this, I always expect to hear Sigur Ros playing... and I love Peter Gabriel (The Last Temptation soundtrack is awesome) but, I thought the track chosen was a little too "dark" for this kind of scenery... imo

Dear Asians, Fuck Your Culture/Family/Dignity Love, Texas (Asia Talk Post)
Thank you for an insightful comment, RhesusMonk. For the most part I agree with you.
Still... (and I know I will probably be considered terribly arrogant in saying this, since I will, of course, be using myself as an example, but-) I wouldn't say it's impossible (not even _hard_ for that matter) to pick up the majority of languages' pronunciation rules that exist around the world, really.
OK, me then.
My native language is Indo-European, and I also know English really well, while my German and Russian are average. I've frequented Scandinavia a bit, but enough so that I could distinguish between Finnish, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian when I hear them spoken most of the time. Icelandic too (for example I'm not one of the folks that think Sigur Ros' lyrics are in Icelandic, hee hee). Furthermore, while I was researching funny English accents a couple of years ago, I got into French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish a bit, whereas I'd probably attribute my Portuguese skills to
all the Brazilian porn I've been watchingnatural talent. Anyway, these language skills enable me to accurately pronounce pretty much any name of European/Slavic/Latin descent I'd encounter in writing, ever.Also, my wife studied Chinese and Japanese and some of her knowledge rubbed off on me. I've also watched a lot of Korean movies/TV to now be able to distinguish their language/names/pronunciation also.
In conclusion, the only continent that I'd probably offend trying to pronounce their culturally native names is Africa. Then again I think most people know how many African kids are being given English names these days...
P.S. And I'm only 21.

If you get around to watching it, lemme know what'cha think. You may get a kick out of Jullianne Moore's role.
Sam Rockwell is the shit! Anyone that plays Zaphod Beeblebrox is cool in my book. Though my favorite role of his has gotta be Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind -- Love that movie sooo much. Which brings to mind a genius writer (Charlie Kaufman) and an actor/director who is both over and underrated: George Clooney. I love half of his work (inevitably the underrated stuff) and the other half I could do without.
Diane Keaton, Nicholas Cage, Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, etc. etc. Don't do it for me either. Though Cage Occasionally gets it right. (Or maybe it's the writers.) Mel, Mel, Mel -- what scares me about him is that his true personality may be Martin Riggs, but with a touch of the religious zealot. Definitely not a good combination. I would be careful not to harm his dog.
Favorite actors... Oh my, where to begin. So many decades of cinema to recall! To avoid a carbon copy of your list -- all noteworthy thesbians -- I'll fill in some of the missing pieces: The Marx Brothers (I love them all equally), Hepburn's flame, Spencer Tracy, the other Hepburn, Audrey (mostly because of those eyes), Cary Grant, Humprey Bogart (Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon are films that I can watch from any point and be satisfied completely for every second the films goes by), Lauren Bacall (Ze Big Sleep; dear lordy, more top ten material), Clark Gable, Gary Oldman (You said it, but he's too good and far too underappreciated to not mention), Helena Bonham Carter (another one I CANNOT avoid mentioning -- a dark favorite of mine: Morgan le Fay, Elizabeth Frankenstein, Ophelia, Anne Boleyn -- dear GOD, she's a even a freakin' death eater. She has to be a reader.), Elliot Gould (More noir favorites), Michael Gambon (brilliant), Alan Rickman, Edward Norton, Tim Roth, Brad Pitt, lil' Dakota Fanning, Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, and Dennis Hopper -- I think that's the cast of Blue Velvet, another potential top ten movie with top ten actors lol. Maybe we should make lists of the people we DON'T like... on second thought... (Sorry, this got long.)
Yes! Mothersbaugh, of course. Wes Anderson's pocket composer and devolution advocate. Don't forget Sigur Ros, either. That's the part of the movie where yer supposed to cry. I heart those Icelanders. A Bowie fan too. David Bowie is my best friend's father.
Make up a top 5 real quick. (No pressure.)
In reply to this comment by thepinky:
You're right. I have about 15 or so that are floating around in my favorites list. My top movies are not neccesarily the best ones I've seen. Like you said, they are the ones that I have an emotional connection to.
Wes Anderson is awesome but I haven't seen all of his films yet. My favorite so far is also The Life Aquatic. I love those covers. The Mark Mothersbaugh numbers are awesome, too. The scene where Steve introduces his boat and crew, accompanied by Mothersbaugh's "Let Me Tell You About My Boat" is one of my favorite scenes. I also really liked The Royal Tenenbaums.
Oh, underappreciated and overrated actors. It is relatively easy for me to rattle off some of my favorite actors. Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Ingrid Bergman are definitely in the top 5. Other actors I love off of the top of my head: Gary Oldman, Anjelica Huston, Gregory Peck, Katharine Hepburn, Bruce Willis (most people love him for the wrong reasons), Bill Murray, Charlie Chaplin, Helena Bonham Carter (I love how much her older stuff contrasts with her more recent roles. She's great.), John Goodman (I have always had a thing for this guy. He is a pleasure to watch.), James Stewart, Topol (I've only seen him in Fiddler but it is one of my favorite performances EVAR), Henry Fonda, Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Oliver Reed. This list was about 5 times as long before I cut it down. You're welcome.
I'm sure you're the same way that I am with actors. Sometimes I love them because they are truly great actors and sometimes I love them because they are good actors and you just enjoy watching them for whatever reason. I admit that one of the reasons that I love Newman, Brando, and Bergman is because they are all incredibly sexy. They also happen to be exceptional actors. Who are your favorites?
Severely overrated: Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton (used to be okay, now I can't stand her), Nicolas Cage (liked him in Matchstick Men...which reminds me that I love Sam Rockwell), Keira Knightly, and there is something about Mel Gibson's acting that seems...is it insincere? Affected? All I know is that something is off with him and I'm not a fan.
I'll rent The Big Lebowski one of these days.

Sigur Rós - Heima
Instant upvote for opening with "Glosoli" =D
It amazes me how since I first discovered Sigur Ros, they seem to be everywhere now--kind of like getting a green car and suddenly everyone seems to have a green car.
They've managed to have a measurable influence in media and yet stay relatively anonymous. So often I hear their music in a video and people will ask,"I love that music, who are they???"
So far I've heard "Saeglopur" in both a PSA for anorexia and the new Prince of Persia trailer.
"Hoppipolla" in the Penelope trailer
"Von" and another song in CSI.
And an unkown song in the Dead Space trailer.
Oh, and lets not forget “Staralfur” in The life aquatic.
Looking them up in Wikipedia, it looks like their music has been used dozens more times in movies, commercials, etc. And most people still don't know who they are. Kinda funny.

>> ^netean:
Sigur Ros are one of those rare bands that come along every few years - genuinely differnt, genuinely brilliant.
It never ceases to amaze me how the English speaking world generally ignores music that isn't in English, yet somehow bands from Iceland (rightly) get through the shield.
Considering also that pretty much every Icelander speaks perfect English (as all Scandies do!) they choose to sing in Icelandic and are the better for it (IMO)
superb band. I like them a lot!
i hate to bring it to you, but i interviewed them the first time they played outside iceland and found out that only the bass player spoke english. the other 3 didnt speak a word of english. being icelandic myself, i was a little shocked. i couldnt think of a cave that was so isolated from society back home, but they must have found it, and stayed there for awhile. not many people are aware of that, but their 'hopelandic' is brilliant, just a little more forced than orginal, as most people think.
