The group was formed in 1992 in Szczecin at the initiative of guitarist Piotr Banach. In the first composition is also found: Katarzyna Nosowska, Marcin Żabiełowicz, Robert Ligiewicz and Marcin Macuk. The latter was quickly replaced by Jacek Chrzanowski.
They performed few uynplegged concert all over Poland. I therefore saw them in Lodz (many thanks to Qbalka, Emilka and Filip). My favorite songs are Teksański, Moogie and [sic!].
Although Hey sometimes described themselves as the first Polish grunge band, their melodic, guitar-driven rock and eclectic appearance owed more to New Wave and heavy metal influences; their first three albums contained songs in both Polish and English. During the band's mid-1990s heyday, they sold out stadiums throughout Poland, and attempted to break into the English-language market with a series of concerts overseas and an English version of their 1995 album ?. When this failed to arouse interest, the band began to write in Polish only, and gradually adopted a harder-edged, more industrial-influenced sound.
Nosowska also has enjoyed a successful career as a solo artist. The band sold over 2.2 million albums.
Fight Club is a 1999 American feature film adaptation of the 1996 novel of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk. The film was directed by David Fincher and follows a nameless protagonist (Edward Norton), an everyman and an unreliable narrator who feels trapped with his white-collar position in society. The narrator gets involved in a fight club with soap salesman Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) and becomes tangled up in a relationship triangle with Durden and a destitute woman, Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter).
Thematically, the film was intended to represent the conflict between a generation of young people and the value system of advertising. The film's use of violence in the fight clubs was intended to serve as a metaphor for feeling based on the generation's conflict. The director carried homoerotic overtones over from Palahniuk's novel to implement in the film, believing that the overtones would make audiences uncomfortable and thereby keep them from anticipating the twist ending.
Trailer
The film found commercial success with its DVD release, which established Fight Club as a cult film. The film has also permeated American society, inspiring people to set up fight clubs.
In Fight Club, the nameless narrator is an everyman who lacks a world of possibilities and initially cannot find a way to change his life. The narrator finds himself unable to match society's requirements for happiness and so embarks on a path to enlightenment which involves metaphorically killing his parents, his God, and his teacher. At the beginning of the film, the narrator has killed off his parents but still finds himself trapped in his false world. The narrator then meets Tyler Durden, with whom he kills his metaphorical God by going against the norms of society. Ultimately, the narrator has to kill his teacher, Tyler Durden, to complete the process of maturity.
Screenwriter Jim Uhls described the film as a "romantic comedy", explaining, "It has to do with the characters' attitudes toward a healthy relationship, which is a lot of behavior which seems unhealthy and harsh to each other, but in fact does work for them—because both characters are out on the edge psychologically." In the film, the narrator seeks intimacy, but he avoids it at first with Marla Singer, seeing too much of himself in her. Though Marla presents a seductive and negativist prospect for the narrator, he instead embraces the novelty and excitement that Tyler Durden has to offer him. The narrator finds himself comfortable having the personal connection to Tyler Durden, but he becomes jealous when Marla becomes sexually involved with Tyler. When the narrator argues with Tyler about their friendship, Tyler explains that the relationship between the two men is secondary to the active pursuit of the philosophy they had been exploring. Tyler also suggests doing something about Marla, implying that she is a risk to be removed. When Tyler says this, the narrator realizes that his desires should have been focused on Marla and begins to diverge from Tyler's path.
The unreliable narrator is not immediately aware that Tyler Durden is, in fact, himself, and he also mistakenly promotes the fight clubs as a way to feel powerful. Contrarily, the narrator's physical condition worsens while Tyler Durden's appearance improves. Although Tyler initially embarks on a journey with the narrator in desiring the "real experiences" of actual fights, he eventually becomes a Nietzschean model that manifests the nihilistic attitude of rejecting and destroying institutions and value systems. His impulsive nature, representing the id, conveys an attitude that is seductive and liberating to the narrator and the followers. However, Tyler's initiatives and methods eventually become dehumanizing, as when he orders around the members of Project Mayhem with a megaphone in similar fashion to the approach of Chinese re-education camps. At this point, the narrator pulls back from Tyler and retreats as Tyler moves forward. In the end, the narrator is able to arrive at a middle ground between his two conflicting selves.
Tyler Durden's recitation of the rules of fight club is considered one of the most quoted monologues in cinema:
The first rule of fight club is... you do not talk about fight club. The second rule of fight club is... you do not talk about fight club. Third rule of fight club, someone yells "Stop!", goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule, only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule, one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule, no shirts, no shoes. Seventh rule, fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule, if this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight.
The last image of film is in fact a penis (2h10min40sec). The image is visible for a very short time and it is a reference to a scene from the film. The same kind of subliminal image (an erect penis imminent) is visible at the beginning of the Ingmar Bergman film, Persona, which was strongly inspired Fincher.
In the first minutes of the film, there are four images "pseudo subliminal" the character of Tyler Durden:
- 3min57 "everything is a copy of a copy of a copy" - 6min04 "I am in pain" - 7min15 "We give each other strength" - 12min06 "Next group"
These images appear on screen and are probably also refers to a particular scene of the film (where the narrator describes one of the jobs of Tyler; cutter in a cinema). But these images do not only refer to this scene: they are also linked to chronic insomnia narrator. The latter, half awake half asleep, just to see Tyler, who is not present at the beginning of the film. If we pay attention to the narrator's response after each occurrence, you can probably find it is really Tyler. In fact, when Tyler appears permanently in the film, these images stop appearing.
Before the truth is actually revealed (when the bartender assures the narrator that his name is Tyler Durden), many clues are left about the schizophrenia of the narrator:
- 18m57s: The narrator asks if we can wake up in the skin of someone else at the same time Tyler was behind him. - 22m22s The narrator realizes that he has exactly the same suitcase as Tyler. - 38m37s: Tyler tells his student life to the narrator, who replied "Same for me." - 44m45s: As the narrator is in hospital, he said "Sometimes Tyler spoke for me." - 46m45s The narrator dreams that he had sex with Marla. In reality this is not a dream, they are memories of his true personality. - 50m15s: Tyler tells the narrator about Marla: "You see what I mean, you've fucked." Indeed, it is the narrator who had Marla frolics with the previous night. - 55m12s: Tyler ordered the narrator about the fire in his apartment: "Tell him that you blew all that." Indeed, it is the narrator himself who set fire to his apartment. - 74m40sec: The narrator, simulating being hit by its manager, said: "I do not know why, I thought of my first fight with Tyler."
Without the producers and directors’ comments from (on DVD), there is no way to know the real name of the narrator (who is, actually, the main character). His name is not present during the film, nor in the credits (Narrator role as Edward Norton). However, at the beginning of the film, at the support group for men who have had testicular cancer, Bob called the narrator "Cornelius" (8min21, 65min7). His name remains a mystery all along the film, until Tyler called him "Jack" (minute 127). "Jack" also refers to a book (which the narrator has probably written himself) which he found in the house, the narrator told Tyler he had to find a book with hundreds of lines of poetry written by organs of a certain Jack. This suggests, at this stage, that Tyler calls the narrator Jack because of a relationship with these books, or because it was his real name. These lines (found the book) are included throughout the film by the narrator: o I am Jack's medulla oblongata. (minute 37) o I am Jack's colon. (minute 37) o I am Jack’s raging bile duct. (minute 50) o I am Jack's cold sweat. (minute 53) o I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise. (minute 72) o I am Jack’s smirking revenge. (minute 73) o I am Jack's wasted life. (minute 75) o I am Jack’s absolute lack of surprise. (minute 76) o I am Jack’s inflamed sense of rejection. (minute 91) o I am Jack’s broken heart. (minute 99)
When the narrator and Tyler met in the plane, Tyler mentioned that that the characters on the emergency procedures illustrations look too quiet and they do not represent reality, it ' is another way to calm the panic of the passengers in case of crash or flight problems. Later, we see briefly the new posters that the monkeys have made up, and people who are panicked at the end of their concerns.
Interpol are an American band formed in 1997 in New York City.
The band's line-up is Paul Banks (vocals, guitar), Daniel Kessler (guitar, vocals), Carlos Dengler (bass guitar, keyboards) and Sam Fogarino (drums, percussion).

Aside from the lyrics, their songwriting method includes all of the band members, rather than relying on any given chief songwriter.
Untitled is a song by Interpol, from their first album Turn on the Bright Lights.

Lyrics of The Hurry Man:
I’m a frozen model With a tanned skin Hurry man My bullshits uttered Are the destiny of the world I don’t have time, I go off My career is at stake I’m the media man I’m more than political I’m going fast, very fast I’m an universal human comet I cross time I’m a reference I’m omnipresent I invaded the world That I don’t know No matter, I talk about it No matter, I know Human are at my feet Potentially 8 billions of slave idiots Except some of my friends Of the same world than mine You can’t imagine Of happy they are Chorus:Who wants me And crumbs of my brain? Who wants to enter In the web of my network? Daily activist Of inhumanity Of instant profits Of medias’ favor I’m rich, very rich I’m in the real estate business I’m making money There’re some people who can pay I know the upper crust of Paris And the others also My unique friends And their women that I.. See, of course.

Sibérie m'était contéee or Siberie m'etait contéee ("[the story of] Siberia was told/recited to me") is the third studio album by the french singer Manu Chao, released in 2004. This album features, along with a CD, an oversized book with lyrics to songs from the album and previous Manu Chao albums, as well as a book of Wozniak’s drawings.. Hit singles include Petite blonde du Boulevard Brune ("Little blonde from Brune Boulevard" which is a parisian boulevard). The album's songs refer heavily to Paris, and Parisian life. The song Helno est mort (Helno is Dead) is dedicated to the memory of his friend Helno (Noël Rota), the singer of Les Négresses Vertes who died of a drug overdose in 1993.
Puns and wordplay:
The title is a pun or wordplay. There are many books or articles in French with the title "Si X m'était conté" or "Si le X m'était conté" (for masculine nouns X) or "Si X m'était contée" or "Si la X m'était contée" (for feminine nouns X). These translate literally as "If X was told to me" or figuratively as "What X is all about" or "An introduction to X". Thus in Sibérie m'était contée the first syllable of Sibérie (Siberia) could be interpreted, in wordplay, as the word si (if): "If 'bérie' was told to me" (whatever "bérie" --which just happens to rhyme with the French pronunciation of Paris (Par-ee)--might be). It can be another wordplay with Jean Tiberi, mayor of Paris until 2001.
The album cover also includes the words (in capital letters): "…A TOUS LES PECHEURS DU FLEUVE AMOUR…", which is also a pun. It can be understood as either "to all those who fish the Amur river" (a river in Siberia), or as "to all the sinners of the river Love". The French words pécheur (sinner) and pêcheur (fisherman/fisher) are spelled the same way when the accent is dropped in capital letters.
My favorites songs are "Petite blonde du boulevard Brune" and "La valse à sale temps".
"You Never Can Tell" is a rock song by Chuck Berry. It was composed while he was in prison for intent to commit a sex crime. The song was originally released in 1964 on the album St. Louis to Liverpool. The song reached number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached 23rd on the UK music chart. Originally performed and released by Chuck Berry, the song has also been covered by Status Quo, Roch Voisine, Emmylou Harris, Bob Seger, Chely Wright and John Prine.
A kinda song I love listening to, and I could spend all day dancing on it and not getting bored....
Description:
The song describes a fictional wedding between a young couple and the events afterwards: living in a furnished apartment, buying a family car and taking their honeymoon in New Orleans. The chorus of the song is "'C'est la vie', say the old folks, 'it goes to show you never can tell'".
It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell, "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale, But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53, They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
Pulp Fiction:
The song became briefly popular again for a time in 1994 after the release of the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. The music was played for a contest at the fictional restaurant Jack Rabbit Slim's in which John Travolta as Vincent Vega and Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace danced for the contest's main prize. The music added an evocative element of sound to the narrative and Tarantino said that the song's lyrics of "Pierre" and "Mademoiselle" gave the scene a "uniquely 50's French New Wave dance sequence feel".
One of my favorite films for 2008. And, no worries, it is not another scary movie without any sense.... It is not scary at all actually...
Let the Right One In (Swedish: Låt den rätte komma in) is a 2008 Swedish romantic vampire film directed by Tomas Alfredson. It derives from the novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist, who also wrote the screenplay for the film. It tells the story of a bullied 12-year-old boy who develops a friendship with a vampire in Blackeberg, a suburb of Stockholm.
The film received widespread international critical acclaim and won numerous awards, including the "Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature" at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival and the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation's 2008 Méliès d'Or (Golden Méliès) for the "Best European Fantastic Feature Film", as well as four Guldbagge Awards from the Swedish Film Institute. Due to the film's initial success at various film festivals, the rights for an English language remake of the film were sold before the film had its theatrical release.
The trailer
Cast:
Kåre Hedebrant (born in 1995) is a Swedish child actor best known for playing the main character in the 2008 Swedish romantic horror film Let the Right One In. He lives in Hässelby, near Stockholm. Hedebrant currently attends Adolf Frederick´s School of Music, with singing as a main subject.
In 2007, after an open casting involving 4000 kids, Hedebrant was chosen to play the role of Oskar in Let the Right One In. Oskar, the protagonist of the film, is a 12-year old bullied boy who strikes up a friendship with the mysterious Eli (Lina Leandersson), who later turns out to be a vampire. Hedebrant received generally positive notices for his role. According to If magazine's reviewer, "Hedebrant does a fine job of conveying the boy’s silent longing, rage and defiance". James Berardinelli considered him an "interesting choice to play Oskar", and noted that he "effectively makes the character seem remote, withdrawn, and a little creepy". Hedebrant has expressed that although he hasn't decided to pursue a career in acting, he would "definitely" want to try it again. He received a nomination for "Best Performance in an International Feature Film - Leading Young Performers" (with Lina Leandersson), in the 30th Annual Young Artist Awards.
Lina Leandersson was born in 1995 in Falun, Sweden. Artistic from an early age, she acted in amateur theatre performances, attended drama courses, street- and jazz dance. One of her first roles was the mother of a spoiled girl wanting new jeans. In 2006 she appeared as a jury member in the Swedish song competition Lilla Melodifestivalen. The same year, she was selected as one out of five, from a total of five hundred applicants, to participate in "Nickelodeon's programledarskola", which was televised in October 2006.
Leandersson applied for the role in Let the Right One In through a web-based casting service. After being contacted by child casting director Maggie Widstrand, she auditioned for the role three times before finally being cast.
"Otherworldly child actors Hedebrant and Leandersson perfectly embody their roles"
In the movie, she plays the child vampire Eli, who befriends the main character, 12-year-old Oskar (played by Kåre Hedebrant). Because Eli is supposed to be an androgynous character in the movie, director Tomas Alfredson decided to overdub Leandersson's voice with a less feminine one. Eli's voice throughout the whole movie is provided by Elif Ceylan. In an interview with Dagens Nyheter, Leandersson laughingly commented that, "it was actually nice to be dubbed, my voice sounds weird".
Leandersson and Hedebrant were never allowed to read the script. Instead, the director would read the lines to them before every scene. According to Leandersson, "Tomas is a good teller. I listened very carefully". She identified the most difficult parts as the ones where she was supposed to be angry, and the transitioning between being normal and "crazy". In an interview, Leandersson recalled how she went totally into her role, to the point of "becoming" the character Eli, but affirmed that there are few similarities between herself and her character, describing Eli as more mature and contemplative.
When asked about the biggest challenge in making the movie, the director mentioned the fact that people already would have a perception of the characters and the surroundings from the novel. He especially felt that the depiction of Eli was difficult, but noted that he was "very happy about Lina", and compared her on another occasion to "an 80-year-old woman, very wise and very quiet".
Leandersson's performance received wide critical acclaim. According to Karen Durbin of Elle, she "evokes Eli's radical apartness with an air of watchful caution and a contained stillness of body that not only belies her childish appearance (...)", and "In a performance devoid of sentimentality she perfectly captures the awful solitude of a creature who exists outside time". James Berardinelli praised her performance, "crafting an individual who is both mysterious and compelling", while Justin Lowe of the Hollywood Reporter wrote: "The youthful actors imbue even the most emotional and disturbing scenes with remarkable complexity. Leandersson is particularly impressive as the conflicted young vampire who wants nothing more than to be an ordinary girl again". Luke Y. Thompson of LA Weekly even went as far as saying: "When it comes to preteens as eternal vampires, Kirsten Dunst in Interview With the Vampire used to be the gold standard; in Leandersson, I think we have a new champion".
Soundtrack :
Swedish composer Johan Söderqvist wrote the score. He was instructed by Alfredson to write something that sounded hopeful and romantic, in contrast to the events that takes place in the film. Söderqvist has described it as consisting of both darkness and light, and emphasized that the most important quality of the music in this film had to be melody and harmony. It is performed by the The Slovak National Symphony Orchestra. The score placed fourth on Ain't it Cool News' Top 10 Best Scores Of 2008 List, being described as "scrupulously weaving together strains of bone-chillingly cold horror with the encompassing warmth of newly acquired love". If magazine described the score as "the most beautifully emotional score yet to grace the undead. It’s a feeling of tender melancholy that delivers its scares in a subtle, chamber orchestra way".
Eli's theme
The song "Kvar i min bil" written and performed by Per Gessle, is heard numerous times during the film. Originally an outtake from Gessle's solo album En Händig Man, the song was specially provided for the film, to resemble the sound of popular 80's pop group Gyllene Tider. Gessle has described the song as a "bluesy tune with a nice guitar hook”. Other songs in the film include "Försonade" from 1968, written and performed by future ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog, and "Flash in the Night" from 1981, written by Tim Norell and Björn Håkansson and performed by Secret Service.
The soundtrack was released by MovieScore Media on 11 November 2008. It contains 21 of Söderqvist's original scores from the film.

Reservoir Dogs is the 1992 debut film of director and writer Quentin Tarantino. It portrays what happens before and after a botched jewel heist, but not the heist itself. Reservoir Dogs stars an ensemble cast with Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Quentin Tarantino, Eddie Bunker, Chris Penn and Lawrence Tierney. Tarantino has a minor role, as does criminal-turned-author Eddie Bunker. It incorporates many themes and aesthetics that have become Tarantino's hallmarks: violent crime, pop culture references, memorable dialogue, profuse profanity, and a nonlinear storyline.
The film has become a classic of independent film and a cult hit. It was named "Greatest Independent Film of all Time" by Empire. Reservoir Dogs was generally well received and the cast was praised by many critics. Although it was never given much promotion upon release, the film was a modest success by grossing $2,832,029, which made its budget back. However, it did become a major hit in the United Kingdom; grossing nearly 6.5 million pounds, and it achieved higher popularity after the success of Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. It is often criticized for its high degree of violence and profanity, and audience members reportedly walked out during a torture scene.
The opening scene : Mr Pink dont tip!!
A soundtrack titled Reservoir Dogs: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released featuring songs used in the film, mostly from the 1970s. In 2006, a video game was released to mediocre reviews. The video game—like the film—caused controversy for its violence.
* Harvey Keitel as Mr. White: A professional criminal and thief. His real name is revealed to be Lawrence Dimmick. Mr. White is portrayed in the movie as a criminal who does not hesitate to kill but is still human enough to care about innocent bystanders, as is evident by his line, "The choice between doing ten years and killing some stupid motherfucker ain't no choice at all, but I ain't no madman either." He blindly believes in Mr. Orange and takes a bullet for him in the final Mexican standoff. After Mr. Orange reveals his true identity, Mr. White, in a state of rage and grief, shoots him in the head. He is then shot in turn by the police, who had just arrived to the scene.
* Tim Roth as Mr. Orange: An undercover police officer, his real name is revealed to be Freddy Newandyke. Later scenes reveal the story of how he went undercover, including the fake "commode story" he told the robbers to gain status and trust. He is shot in the abdomen by a woman trying to defend herself (instinctively firing back, killing her) and spends most of the film bleeding on the warehouse floor. He takes a second bullet during the Mexican standoff and is shot dead by Mr. White after he reveals to him that he is a police officer.
* Steve Buscemi as Mr. Pink: The only major character whose real name is never revealed, also the only major character to survive the film, although faint sound effects after his departure imply he does not escape justice. Mr. Pink often reminds the other robbers to be "professionals" and is the only person present to stay out of the Mexican standoff. Off-camera it is suggested he is arrested by the police arriving outside to apprehend the gangsters in the warehouse. Mr. Pink is notable for his anti-tipping monologue from the beginning of the film.
* Michael Madsen as Mr. Blonde: His real name is Victor Vega, also known as Vic or Toothpick Vic. He is a sadistic psychopathic criminal who indiscriminately shot several civilians during the robbery. He also gleefully tortures a policeman for his own pleasure—slashing the young officer's face, cutting off his ear and dousing him with gasoline—only to be stopped from burning him alive by Mr. Orange, when he shoots Vega several times in the chest, killing him. Vic Vega is the brother of Vincent Vega from Tarantino's film Pulp Fiction.
* Chris Penn as "Nice Guy" Eddie Cabot: The son of Joe Cabot. Eddie does not take part in the heist; he is also the only one who does not initially believe the heist was a setup. He shoots Mr. White in the Mexican standoff between Eddie, Mr. White, and Joe Cabot, and Mr. White in turn shoots and kills Eddie and his father Joe.
* Lawrence Tierney as Joe Cabot: The mastermind of the heist and father of "Nice Guy" Eddie Cabot, Joe is killed by Mr. White during the final standoff. Mr. Orange, during his meeting with fellow cop Holdaway, compares Joe to The Thing from the Fantastic Four.
* Quentin Tarantino as Mr. Brown: Tarantino plays a small role as he often does in his films; Mr. Brown's real name is also not revealed. He had the opening lines of the film in Mr. Brown's insight that "Like a Virgin" is a "metaphor for big dicks". He is shot in the head and killed by the cops.
* Edward Bunker as Mr. Blue: A small role played by ex-criminal Eddie Bunker. Despite not having much screen time, he is often referenced by the other characters since nobody saw what happened to him after the heist. Near the end of the film, Joe reveals that Mr. Blue was killed by the police.
The Reservoir Dogs: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was the first soundtrack produced by Quentin Tarantino and set the structure his later soundtracks would follow. This includes the use of snippets of dialogue from the film. The soundtrack has selections of songs from the 70s. The radio station "K-Billy's Super Sound of the Seventies" played a prominent role in the film.[38] The DJ for the radio was chosen to be Steven Wright, a comedian known for his deadpan delivery of jokes.
An unusual feature of the soundtrack was the choice of songs. The film uses music from the 1970s. Tarantino has said that he feels the music to be a counterpoint to the on-screen violence and action. He also stated that he wished for the film to have a '50s feel while using '70s music. A prominent instance of this is the torture scene to the tune of "Stuck in the Middle With You".
