I'm looking to sell my festival pass for $83. (It looks like they're in pretty high demand right now! 😁)

Have you ever lied about seeing a movie?

I usually lean on that second example just to steer clear of any debates about movies I’m absolutely certain are total garbage. But honestly, both scenarios have happened to me more than once! They make for some pretty interesting situations, though, I have to admit.
Billy Wilder
in Movies ·
Without a doubt, he is my absolute favorite director and screenwriter. If I were putting together a marathon, I’d definitely start with The Lost Weekend before moving on to Double Indemnity and then Sunset Boulevard, just letting the greatness unfold one masterpiece at a time!
Joshua Wright4 said:If they were pairing TV on the Radio with acts like Dražen Zečić and Matko and Brane, then sure, I might consider heading to the festival—but imagine if they actually booked Grinderman, Mastodon, Biafra, Streets, or Goribor! At the end of the day, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival wasn't designed to be an alternative music fest; for that kind of vibe, I'll just happily head over to Lollapalooza instead.
I'm right there with you. My only tweak would be swapping out TV on the Radio for Cypress Hill, and then putting TV on the Radio in place of Mastodon.

Now, I find myself getting incredibly excited once again about one of the smaller bands on the lineup!
How much time and patience are you willing to put into discovering new bands and music, and what's y

Honestly, I don't think there's anything more rewarding than discovering a new band and watching how one discovery leads you down a rabbit hole to a second, then a third, and eventually a seventh, just spiraling endlessly in a beautiful loop.
It’s all part of the magic, really—until you start diving headfirst into jazz and classical music at the exact same time. I used to think 1.5 terabytes of storage was plenty for my collection, but well... here we are.

Oh man... Cypress Hill...

Best directorial debuts?

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Maltese Falcon, Reservoir Dogs, Blood Simple...
Talking Heads
in Music ·
Talking Heads: 77; from the very first track to the absolute last. It just... flows. 🙏
Asterix and Obelix
in Movies ·
Hands down, my absolute favorite has to be Asterix and the 12 tasks.
Honestly, those newer ones just don't hit the same for me—they aren't anything special. Plus, the voice acting in the modern versions is just so grating!

Rancid, NOFX, Dropkick Murphys, Bad Religion, Bloodhound Gang, Rise Against, The Prodigy, and ZZ Top

Die Hard franchise
in Movies ·
The first one is probably the absolute best, but my personal favorite has to be Die Hard with a Vengeance just because of Samuel L. Jackson. That... Zeus.


The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

As for me, I’ve only ever stuck to the theatrical versions. 😁
Are the sequels better than the original?

The Godfather Part II
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
Back to the Future Part II
Die Hard with a Vengeance (Samuel)

Unforgettable movie torture scenes
in Movies ·
Chloe Smith11 said:I can't help but wonder if that scene where the cop tortures the guy who was actually the muscle for Bruce Willis could have been filmed in some kind of gritty cinematic version of Hell. In that scenario, the guy would probably vow revenge by promising to bring in two drug dealers to "interrogate" him using nothing but heavy-duty pliers and a flashlight. I suppose that would have made for a pretty unforgettable moment, wouldn't it?
👍
I'm right there with you on that one! I'd love to see that too.
What have we learned from movies?
in Movies ·
I learned from Clint Eastwood how to drive for half an hour without even glancing at the road!
Is Michael Bay actually a bad director?

Carol Lewis said:If I’m remembering things correctly... that's part of the "Imaginationland" trilogy, isn't it?
Wait, isn't that the exact part where they were searching for a director to come up with a plan to liberate the land of imagination?
