Year Zero

Thursday · 8 Mar 07 · 02:43 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: General

I'm probably going to regret doing this... making this post when I know I have to sleep and get up in another three hours and then go to work... but this is something that I just had to post about!  I just got to see the teaser trailer for the new Nine Inch Nails album called Year Zero, and man, is it spooky!  The album is going to be out in April, and the concept of Year Zero is that of a dystopic future.  The Wikipedia article contains a lot of background information on the album and the promotion that has been going on for it.  I read this, and then loaded up the trailer to watch.  I was expecting a short music excerpt from one of the songs (like in the With Teeth or Nine Inch Nails Live: Beside You In Time clips), but nothing could prepare me for what I saw!  The appearance of "the presence" really freaked me out for some reason.  There is also an article at Arrow in the Head, about a possible film being made as part of the Year Zero project.

I've started reading reviews for 300 and they're so overwhelmingly positive that I can't wait to see this movie!  Check out The Arrow's review and Tim Goernert's review at JoBlo (Tim gives this a 10/10, something which he hasn't done for any film in recent memory!).  This movie is going to be released on 16th in India it seems, and Varun was saying something about it getting into trouble with the censor board.  I can't imagine why, as I guess most of the "adult" content is depicted in a very artistic way.  Anyway, check out this battle clip from the movie at YouTube... a film filled with scenes like this is bound to be truly breathtaking!

Oh, and the latest version of DOSBox supports Blood, one of the games that I really missed playing as it wasn't compatible with Windows XP!
