while nothing new comes out of the interview, he does mention what's making those sounds at the beginning of "hail to the thief" (i'd guessed the guitar, but).
I like the sound of Jonny plugging in his guitar and laptop at the start. It’s like ‘let’s go to work’ - very direct and clear.
nice. now i'll see jonny whenever play the album :)
+ i was rather underwhelmed by 28 days later. not dissappointed - underwhelmed. i think i had high hopes for it and, although it's really more than a horror film, which i knew going in, it didn't bring more to the table than what i'd expected.
watching some of the extras on the dvd this morning i did realize what may have helped in my non-enjoyment - it doesn't seem to have a big central emotional core. it's more of a cerebral thing. there's some viceral stuff in the attacks, absolutely, but i didn't care all that much about the main characters -- or rather, i didn't care //enough// about them. it looked more like an exercise in screenwriting than anything else. nothing wrong with that but i was just expecting a bit more out of it.
but it's still nice to see really good filmmakers trying their hands at non-commercial stuff.
and the godspeed thing was pure genius.
i'll be giving it another spin in the future, i'm sure. i was going through the alternate endings this morning and it made me realize that it's definitely not a boring film.
so, there, those are my thoughts right now.
