watching TV and listening to music

Hello modified. I've just found a breakthrough in entertainment. I like to watch movies and listen to my ipod at the same time. I found that listen to al instrumental shit is cool, but also, just having one earbud(sp?) while listening to the tv is also cool. I just take the headphon(s) off my head to check the volume of the tv, usually its cool. Right now, I'm watching, or trying to watch "the deer hunter." Well, I don't want to digress from the origional subject, but I laughed my ass off when Robert De Niro got his face shat upon by that raccoon while he was asleep... and he wakes up and Chistopher walken is like, " eh, you know , what do you call that when you got poop in your beard, it sure ain't no dingleberry?.."

Serious? Would that not, like, ruin the atmosphere they create with the soundtrack on the film?

For me, I don't think listening to music ruins the soundtrack to movies because I don't really enjoy the background music to movies. I don't think it adds much to the plot. Although, I'm shooting myself in the foot here, certain movies, the soundtrack is important. But also, again, I'm just wondering if anyone is weird like me and has tried it.

I haven't necessarily tried that, but I have totally jammed out to a movie a bunch. That's fun as farts man

.

Also when I was first learning how to play, I would piss off my sister all the time because I would have music going on the computer, watching t.v. and jamming out all whilest talking on the phone

Watch Aeon Flux.... the show not the movie. There's hardly any dialogue in the whole series....maybe at max 5 words per ep. That show is all about the atmosphere created by the action and backing music.

Since you mention wearing one ear bud, and this is somewhat related, try wearing 2 ear buds on each ear that are playing different music; especially if the two musics are nothing alike. It's freakin crazy.

I think if you listen to Dark Side of the Moon and watch Wizard of Oz, it's supposed to synch up really good. Like scary good.

I haven't done it though. I will one day when I'm bored.
