All Things Chill

Wow. I had to adjust myself in a major way after reading that. Header image taken from here. Here’s what the brainwashing machine MTV had to say about it:

You already know Pharrell Williams is obsessed with the sounds of the ’80s. Now the Neptunes producer is getting a chance to put his beats where his passion is as the producer of the soundtrack to the big-screen version of the 1980’s giant-robot series “Voltron.”

Williams, an executive producer on the film, will also score “Voltron: Defender of the Universe,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. The movie is being produced by Mark Gordon (“The Day After Tomorrow,” “Saving Private Ryan”), based on a
story about five maverick pilots who have to travel to the planet Arus to learn how to operate the massive Voltron, which is made up of five smaller robots. The giant robot is Earth’s last hope in the fight against the Drule Empire.

Big upps to Better Than Yours for linking and providing the original link. You should have already known about Spielberg’s involvement in a movie about the other famous robots. Good for you Stevie. I’m happy for you. That’s cool and everything… but… NEPTUNES AND VOLTRON?!??! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE.

Ok. I’ll admit it. I am a huge Neptunes fan(boy), mainly because they shook up the stagnant hip hop scene and added a lil’ bit of ‘it’s cool to be a geek’ factor in everything you see today. Their now defunct side project N*E*R*D was (and still is) on HEAVY rotation in my car and it’s really been that alternative to the alternative’s alternative that I’ve been looking for.

I know for a fact that Pharrell is gonna get funky with the soundtrack, so it could quite possibly be the first movie that I go see because of the soundtrack. Well… that’d be the case if it wasn’t a MOVIE ABOUT FREAKIN’ VOLTRON! LOL.

I just hope that blue lion guy isn’t an ass this time around.
