You've seen it before.
But you'll watch it again.
Most importantly there are one or two viewers of this thread that haven't seen it.
They will see it. And the more that do the better.

Personally...

Any publicity is good publicity (in this case).

I would prefer 1 million people see this and 1 is moved to pursue scientific ends as a result than no one see it again.

I understand you're jaded and disenfranchised. Our best hope is MORE public support, not elitism.

The creator was asked not to include Carl Sagan and the Cosmos series from the next Symphony of Science, the request was not retroactive.

The request has since been withdrawn, and the creator now has the full blessing of the copyright holders. Keep on clinging to your petty hate, you're SUCH an interesting person, Anon.

What is the harm in making contemporary a brilliant mind?

You would rather his ideas and work disappear? I watched this as a child and I am glad to see a younger generation embrace, not to mention idolize it. You're bitter /sci/.

No, we just don't appreciate having something so dear to us raped and spewed out in the form of a fad with no real value.

So you'd rather it get no acknowledgment. It will be lost to the annuls of history, and according to you, this is preferable to having someone young and vital make a contemporary musical rendition that could possibly enlighten an entire generation?

That was fucking great. Best thing I've seen all day. Amazing audio and visual experience.

[Anonymous No.1084643]

All the haters in this thread can be negated when you actually consider what he would have wanted.

Did he make his show so angry fat kids in their basements could condescend to everyone?

I think he had something else in mind. In my honest opinion if he could see this video he would smile.

I also think he would not want me to perpetuate the hate in this thread, so I'm gonna go ahead and give an internet high five to all who will receive it.

BAM

You seem to be implying that Carl Sagan was obscure before having his work turned into a no-thought throwaway song on some airheaded hipster douchebag's mp3 player.

[Anonymous No.1084679]

the fanboys in this thread are worse than the christian trolls on this board.

[Anonymous No.1084682]

>>1084661
No, you seem to be implying that only those who knew him when his show aired are capable of gaining anything from his show.

If he wanted to be exclusive he would not have made a FUCKING TV SHOW.

You're bitter, and for no apparent reason.

Do you contend that more people, regardless of generation or age, being exposed to him is a bad thing?

[Anonymous No.1084698]

>>1084661
Is Cosmos in syndication somewhere? last I checked even when it was current it was on public broadcast which is anything but market penetrative. It's better this, which despite your assburgered opinions is massively entertaining, than letting another such series stagnate and die that arouses intrigue and wonder.

You're going to miss everything good in life and die angry.

[Anonymous No.1084702]

So I suppose if britney spears took a work of art like Bosch's Garden of Delights and turned it into an album cover for her bullshit music that would be ok because it's exposing people to it? no, fuck that.

this kind of shit cheapens things of value. it has nothing to do with elitism. it's just offensive.

[Anonymous No.1084713]

I haven't implied anything of the sort. I have never said he wanted to be "exclusive", whatever it is you mean by that. I've only stated that these musicians turned something of intellectual value into fodder.

But I suppose you can keep raging against imaginary arguments if you want to.

Hey everyone in this thread.

Imagine Carl Sagan can hear this song.

What would his opinion be? We all know the answer, and bitter bitter men drag him down to their level. I don't know why this thread got as much attention as it did.

[Anonymous No.1084763]

>>1084729

Damn, I must have pissed you off pretty bad to pull shit like that out of your ass. I've been a fan of this series since the 80's, when I first watched it as a tyke. But, that doesn't matter. I'm not an elitist like you obviously are.

[Anonymous No.1084779]

You should probably qualify your statements, this isn't the high road you're taking. Speaking more objectively, it's quite clear that you're majorly asspained.

[Anonymous No.1084811]

The real question is then:

Is there something in this song that goes against Carl Sagan's ideas? Is there a part of this movement that bastardizes what he stood for?

I would contend the opposite is true. I actually believe this is exactly what he hoped for. A bunch of people who have never heard of him before are made aware of his presence by some third party.

In conclusion: Haters gonna hate.

Oh damn. Are we really falling into the "I liked them before they were popular again" argument? This is hipster bullshit that happens when they get old and upset that there are people who like what they like who aren't in their shitty little club.

While I agree with the concept of your argument, elitism is a fallacy.

Unfortunately, I was watching Carl before these guys were.

The strange thing is I was happy to see a thread about him. Even if it was a style of music I don't much care for! The message survives!

It's sad how that gets lost in a medium like the internet. REMEMBER HIS IDEAS.

The brain has it's own language for testing the consistency of the world.

I certainly didn't. The hostility on both sides is what distresses me.

But what can you do to dissuade human nature?

The other thing I can do is listen to techno remixes of Carl Sagan.

I'm better at the latter.

Might have to do with the original audio from the show. The audio mixer might have had to match the ambient noise between the clips, and since it's very difficult to remove, he would have added a fluctuating amount of it to the clips without it.
