This image made me realize that in addition to the well known limited edition cover, there was also a super limited Christmas cover with Spawn as Santa and a bonus track from Failure?
Wasn’t there a Rage/Tool song that didn’t get done in time too?
Edit:
Morphine, not Failure! I get them confused. Failure’s already on there if I recall correctly. Which one did the Wings cover with Tool?
Edit edit:
So failure’s not on the Spawn soundtrack either. Am I thinking of the Judgement Night soundtrack? I’m late for work and I shouldn’t look this up now.

No, that was Therapy

i think it’s with the Godzilla soundtrack family, maybe
i saw Ex-Machina for the first time last night and now i understand why everyone i know who saw Ex-Machina before seeing Annihilation thought Annihilation was nowhere near as good.
still enjoy both movies, but Ex-Machina is really good - the creator is exactly the kind of guy he is, they really nailed it. though i wonder if that characterization will be too anachronistic in the future?

annihilation really lost me because it was utterly unlike what i imagined reading the novel: the expedition was depicted with military rather than scientific trappings, the biologist’s relationship with her husband didn’t seem troubled and ambivalent, the whole sense that her cognition had been rendered systematically unreliable didn’t come across.
i guess it’s fine because stalker already exists and hits a lot of the same notes. this movie was one more link in a game of telephone that started with roadside picnic

ive never heard this morphine track, is it the apollo 440 one? im listening to it now
comment is wild becuase its like a song you’d see someone stripping to in a movie montage about being fucked up adn lost all night or something but i guess someone just cut out the middleman

The soundtrack is really cool. But since seeing Men by the same director, I am kind of reconsidering how much I actually like his films against just my general desire for colder scifi films in general.

annihilation succeeds on the metaphor of a prism and all of its iridescent visuals. the dialogue does it a disservice, though: prisms don’t “change” light. the shimmer/area x is refracting all of its contents into constituents regardless of our understanding of biological boundaries
a prism can be worse than a mirror in this way. reflecting a whole isn’t as challenging as seeing all of your smallest pieces
the strength is almost exclusively visual so i make no comparison to the source material

Judgement Night, Spawn, and Blade 2’s soundtracks are all produced by the same guy with similar concepts.
I might have had Failure on the brain because of the Depeche Mode tribute album that came out around the same time. Or maybe it was the Duran Duran one with Wesley Willis. Weren’t the Deftones on both (and The Crow 2 speaking of)?

i do have to say they did a good job with the roar for the bear monster, it caused a mouse to burst out of hiding and scramble across my living room

The Manics track didn’t make the cut so nowhere
Never watched Annihilation because I thought the book was tedious derivative shit and the movie reportedly excised the only sequence of the book that I liked (the tower)
Ex Machina is better than it should be, helped by how the pov character is an awful creep just like the silicon valley villain. It’s literally sci fi bluebeard’s bride

I liked the movie Annihilation better than the book. I remember thinking at the time that it didn’t seem like the writer-director had read the book, but that was fine because the book was decent but not great (especially in comparison with Roadside Picnic). And then I disliked the sequel so much that it retroactively ruined whatever positive I might have seen in the first book.
That said, I feel like if I’m going to disparage something by VanderMeer I should also mention that he and his wife compiled this utterly superlative short story collection.
