THE FOUNTAIN/AIR FORCE ONE: the mashup no one cares about

[thehefner]

So I'm listening to my iPod while I'm at the gym, pumping away on the Arc Trainer to Clint Mansell's THE FOUNTAIN soundtrack while I watch AIR FORCE ONE muted on the screen. I'd turn it off, but we're right at the climactic battle between Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman, with the legendary action-movie line, "GET OFF MY PLANE." *boot*

That's when I slowly realize that the music I'm listening to syncs up to the movie perfectly.

Seriously, if you start playing the epic track "Death is the Road to Awe" (heard in the trailer for I AM LEGEND) just when Jurgen Prochnow is being released, the next eight minutes and twenty-six seconds give AIR FORCE ONE a newfound sense of epic awesomeness that only Clint "REQUIEM FOR A DREAM" Mansell could provide. And the track has two climaxes, a veritable multiple orgasm of music, thus making it perfect for both the dispatching of Oldman and the final fate of Prochnow.

And I'm thinking, "Holy crap, I've discovered a little miracle of random music and film coincidence... and no one will give a shit."

Oh, the bittersweet discoveries of life.

Okay, back to incorporating Bloo's edits of the Harvey Dent novel.

I love it when those things happen. My favurite was when I was in HMV in the games section and there was some random dance music playing. I aint a big fan of that stuff but it was listenable as I browsed the games. Then suddenly someone had mixed in the death speech from Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation
"Snake?....SNAke?....SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE?" and then the music (which I cant properly visualise by text!)
I couldnt beleive how well it had matched up, I was on the verge of going up to the counter to ask which track it was, when I noticed someone actually playing MGS in the next Aisle.....
Now if I was any sort of genius, then I would have remixed that track that way myself
But I aint!

I punched a bloke in the face once for saying that Hawk the Slayer was rubbish!
