Random NIN Thoughts

[BRoswell]

*sigh* At least I've got the DVD.

I've seen more violent stuff on Vimeo, but I'm guessing this is more about the tone of the violence than the amount. Vimeo seems more relaxed than YouTube, but they still have a line. Oh well.

[Fangster_]

It's been on Vimeo before, still is. Infact I watched it just last week, here: (it's kinda out of sight but google digs up anything).

Made me uneasy, and I loved it. If only Last could've been there in some form.

If only Last could've been there in some form.

i've always wondered why last wasn't part of the film (and why it was the only non-hidden track on the album not to get some kind of video).

Re: "and" -- You can do it either way. Nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine is just as acceptable as Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Re: What to call it -- I've always said "A million minus one". I do a similar thing when talking about something that costs $999.99 (A thousand minus a penny)

Considering the fact that it's a song by NINE Inch Nails, I've always thought it best to properly enunciate ALL the nines...no matter how awkward it may seem in conversation.

[sheepdean]

Let's just hope Trent never records a song called Graham's Number

[slave2thewage]

RE: Last video - There were a lot of rumours before the trading of the Broken film became commonplace that some versions had a video for Last. I'm guessing this is bullshit though.

[Hazekiah]

I also remember hearing rumors of there actually being a video for "Help Me I am in Hell" buried beneath the black screen as it plays during the film, which could be found if you just adjusted your TV's settings appropriately. I toyed with it for untold hours on countless TV sets at the time. No dice. Every once in a while I'd try it again when I'd manage to track down a higher-quality copy, lol. Just more bullshit.

But there actually is a video for it

[Hazekiah]

Well, yeah...I'm well aware of that. And it's a great video! Let me know if you ever unlock the secret to viewing it (or any other video) buried beneath the black screen as it plays during the movie after you've adjusted your TV's settings appropriately, lol. :P

it was a rumour that the blacked out Help me i am in hell was a kind of watermark, a trick to know who distributed the thing back then

pretty sure TR confirmed this, then kinda blamed gibby haynes for it?

[sheepdean]

Trent KNEW it was Gibby Haynes, he didn't just blame him

[hobochic]

Ah, Trent the constant plotter. Before teh interwebz, there was Gibby, always delivering the goods.

Now THIS is really interesting!

While we're on the subject, would anyone happen to have a direct quote from either or both of them pertaining to this subject? I'd love to hear more about it.

Hahaha...it figures that the one rumor which was true would take TWENTY FUCKING YEARS to reach me, lol.

it's so uplifting to see how y'all talk about that guy like he lives next door to you

Don't be silly, he doesn't live next door, I live in his bushes.

Oh right, Closure DVD. Next year is 10th anniversary of its cancellation

Sometimes I think of "the smell of sunshine" quote when I do a clothes wash... and this has been happening for almost a decade.

someone needs to market laundry detergent to the NIN fanbase...

There's a dark wash, black as your soul joke in here somewhere (but I'm not clever enough)

Heresy (Blind) might as well be my favorite pre-2005 remix, right up there with Closer (Percursor), the one that got me into NIN (thanks, Se7en!), Ruiner (Version), Happiness in Slavery from Fixed (not Screaming Slave), Benelli's The Frail and, of course, Uncoiled. Closer (Deviation) is pretty sweet, too. I've also found remixes that almost completely deviate from the originals to be funny, such as Spacetime Continuum's Perfect Drug and Olof Dreijer's Me, I'm Not.

My PHM 2010 shirt has 2 out of 3 backwards N's. Intentional or not? Either way OCD brain no like.

i think you mean 3 out of 4

[Fangster_]

Well fuckkk.

Yeah.

[eversonpoe]

anyway, yeah...i hadn't noticed that before on the PHM re-master (and any merch corresponding to it). seems kind of odd...

[blassster]

Weird. The official merch site's image for that shirt shows all Ns as backwards. Early flaw that was later corrected?

[scorpiusdiamond]

There's a brief snippet of Trent towards the end of this... (1:23)
