It’s like you can't even have a quiet thought without someone jumping in to complicate things, but yeah, I'm just sitting here waiting to see if they actually show up or if they're just going to stay ghost for another week. 🙏 😍 Seriously, who lives in the same apartment complex and blasts both Daft Punk and t.A.T.u.? Like, what kind of chaotic energy are we dealing with here? That's a wild mix. 🙏
😎
Where can I catch this?
What an absolute joke of a DJ, honestly. Comparing that guy to a boring phantom is actually being way too generous if you ask me. 😛 Man, I can see the party's already getting wild over here...
John Castillo8 said:Everyone acts like they're the most influential rap group ever, you know? And honestly, I’ve never really sat down to listen to them... I'm not exactly a huge hip-hop head, but even I feel like I should check them out. They're definitely up there for me, maybe even second only to my absolute favorite band of all time, Rage Against the Machine...😁
If you actually went, then you saw exactly what I saw—about two and a half hours of 😲 (
me basically losing it because I couldn't watch anymore, and man, imagine how those veterans on stage were feeling...) pure chaos, just like they were at the start of their career. Guitars flying, crazy stuff happening, hitting those punk HC tempos, and everyone just jumping around everywhere.
The sound system was pretty mediocre, but PE blew my expectations out of the water; they were literally spilling drinks on the crews in the front rows, and they were greeting every single person in the crowd... Flavor Flav might not exactly know how to exit a stage gracefully, but since he’s so incredibly chill and "heavenly," along with the rest of the guys in the band—I’m giving them a solid five stars.
Carol Rodriguez3 said:I caught this flick at the Broadway theater tonight and man, it just blew me away. The cinematography is killer, the directing is spot on, the acting is top-tier, and it’s just one of those incredibly powerful movies that can drive you absolutely insane one minute, make you laugh until you cry the next, and then leave you feeling totally gutted... Honestly, I'm still buzzing from it so I'm probably just rambling, but seriously, you guys have to see this when it hits theaters. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Ha! Looks like we were at the same theater then...
Well, okay, I'm not so sure about "powerful"... but by American standards, it's a decent little indie flick. The only thing that really landed was that perfectly played, plastic little hillbilly character played by Gregory—that guy who's desperate to hang with the "big shots" and ends up getting totally played by the outsider...
Since this is supposed to be some sort of "cinema verite" thing, like an American take on "Dogme 95," Showalter is doing her usual over-the-top thing, being way too theatrical and "hysterical" for this style of film before finally pulling herself together... Ivy is basically nothing, just part of the scenery, like she isn't even there... it would've been way more interesting if she actually had a coherent perspective or something... the rest of them? Fine, I guess...
I really missed having some heavy catharsis from the characters, especially since the movie is pretty stripped down visually. But whatever, it was alright all things considered.

Man, what are you even doing? You acting like you’re fighting in the Crusades or something. Seriously, just look at the insults you're throwing around... if someone is bothering you, there’s a report button for a reason. Instead of opening entire massive threads because you're obsessed with calling someone out, you end up dragging them—and honestly, half the veterans on this board—right into the mud with you. And then you have the nerve to start talking about "higher authorities" and "official channels"... give me a break. This is a fucking internet forum, not real life. Just chill out already.
Just a total urban legend
Only 36 heads of state showed up, and even that excludes the American president who sent his own mother 🙄
The funeral for Pope John Paul II in Rome pulled in over three million believers along with about 200 crowned heads, presidents, and government leaders.
Back on February 24, 1989, when they held the funeral for Emperor Hirohito in Tokyo, high-ranking guests from 163 different countries were in attendance.
At Yitzhak Rabin's funeral, there were more than 40 heads of state... you had Mitterrand and John F. Kennedy, and then you look at those massive multi-million person Arab funerals... so not only is it totally unnecessary to keep pushing this myth about it being the "biggest of the biggest," but any sane person should be physically revolted by the idea that North Korea or Romania would send delegations consisting of hundreds of people—and what does that even prove?
Then there's that other myth: "it wasn't actually that bad in the upper Koreas," or "we could have left" (well, sure, if we hadn't rotted away in a prison in Lepoglava per Article 133 of the penal code), "Varteks used to make jeans," or "not everyone was stuck in jail"—yeah, thanks a lot, Marshall, for not being Pol Pot.
While everyone else in the West was living in market democracies, we were stuck dealing with the fallout of all the debt Marshall racked up just to keep that whole "brotherhood" community on life support. We spent our days waiting in lines for oil, sugar, and coffee, driving beat-up old cars, and living on ration coupons while I sat there trying to finish my homework by candlelight. Pure genius. And man, he kept us wrapped up in these delusions of prosperity with a firm grip and a gold ring—so that, if you'll excuse me (check the chapter on the war in the former America), everyone (okay, maybe not *everyone*) got their little tin of food in Zapruđ and their one trip to the coast in a tiny Fiat—just wonderful. All seasoned with things like Jazovk, Gol Otok, thought crimes, rigged trials, lies, liquidations, dictatorships, and coupon points... "It feels like it was better back then," as those clueless kids from TBF would say.
Seriously though, please tell me how many people actually turned out to greet him at a stadium in Kinshasa or Pyongyang... let's actually use some common sense here.
