Personal Top Lists & Rankings

My top three absolute essentials:
-The Clash
-Motörhead
-Franz Ferdinand

A list of things that definitely deserve a monument here in the States

1. Toma Bebić
2. Professor Baltazar
3. Sardines

And a special entry

4. Down in downtown Chicago, we need a life-sized bench where Adnan Bečić can just sit and chill
😁

My definitive ranking of the strangest mystical figures lurking in the fringes of alternative science, medicine, and psychology

1. Drago Plečko 🙏
2. Horus Haj 😂
3. Vera Čudina 🙄
4. Vesnica and her little pyramids 😬
5. Fatma Nur Dženet 😲

1. Marlon Brando in "A Streetcar Named Desire"

He’s definitely cool to be a big shot, even if he went a bit overboard with those useless triceps back in his younger days. Didn't "The Mule" have a song about Smith? I always find myself leaning toward Marlon in "Last Tango in Paris" (which really reminds me of "Last Youth in Yugoslavia"). And man, when I think about the Behemoth in "Apocalypse Now"! Truly top-tier work.

2. Paul Newman in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"

Paul Newman is just a neutral figure in my book. He brings to mind the sixties and seventies—and let's face it, the seventies were probably the best decade of the twentieth century. I haven't actually sat down with this specific role; he was just a very young, sharp he-cat back then.

3. Keanu Reeves in "My Own Private Idaho"

What a mess. It's a total disaster of a movie—visually stunning at times, sure, but peppered with completely idiotic episodes. The late Phoenix ended up snatching the spotlight from him. Keanu plays these lost souls, which is why I think he's cool, even if his roles can be incredibly tedious.

4. Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice"

Who is That?

5. Brad Pitt in "Fight Club".

God, what a terrible film (despite having an excellent opening). To make matters worse, it's decorated with Brad Pitt. It's the peak of indie grotesque: a building collapsing while the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" plays in the background. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

....

1. Joaquin Phoenix

The guy is the man with that crooked rabbit lip. He has a great aesthetic and a handful of solid performances. Better than most.

2. Tim Robbins, but only in his younger years ("Jacob's Ladder")

I couldn't tell you what he was like when he was younger.

3. Johnny Depp

He's a good actor and an interesting character. I won't get into his carnal tastes, but I like him because he's supposedly—according to the tabloids I skim through at the barber—an irrational lover of the Beatnik movement.

4. Edward Norton

Look, listen... *scratches head*

5. John Cusack

I'm an ignoramus. Who is That?

Dana Anderson4 said:4. At the end of Frost's street downtown, they should build another life-sized bench just for Adnan Bečić to sit on.
😁

Oh, hell no! 🙂 That belongs right in front of the Boston Celtics arena or, better yet, somewhere near Madison Square Garden!

parliament said:The top 3 bands everyone seems to obsess over:
-Clash
-Motörhead
-Lana Del Rey

Honestly? I couldn't care less about any of them... I actually tried to get into The Clash once—really gave it a shot—but there's just this massive gap between what I hear on the record and why the rest of the world thinks they're such a big deal. It just doesn't click for me.😛

stormyviper11 said:Oh, no way! 🙂 That place is right in front of the Boston Celtics arena or maybe closer to Madison Square Garden!

That's right!
👍

Ponor said:Alright, let's just go ahead and tear apart all those overrated men from literature then...

Pretentious bullshit. Better to be fucked up than broken... I've always said that. ☕

1. She can't be a smoker.😈

2. She’s got actual taste in music.
3. She’s witty and actually educated.

Oh, so I just need to swap out my entire personality then? Great.😉

analogharbor442 said:9. just can't get enough

This is hands down one of the most revolting tracks ever released by one of the most ridiculous pop acts in history.
Kudos to them for signing with Mute early on, though; at least they managed to bank some serious cash off those stellar records produced by their colleagues over there.
I guess there’s a silver lining to everything.
Just enjoy the silence, Douglas Taylor4... and shut your trap.
I just can't get enough.

Kevin Chavez3 said:The ideal musical tastes for a girl to actually be interesting:

5. Goth (as long as there's no excessive melodrama)
4. Harsh noise (if she’s sweet enough)
3. Techno (provided she isn't using)
2. Rap (but nothing weak)
1. Stiff Little Fingers, Neurotic Outsiders, and Exploding Hearts style pop-punk

dmj said:1. Being female.
2. Spending all her time on things like makeup and other nonsense, with zero interest in music, literature, or comics...
3. Not being overly articulate, but not completely dim either.

Rick Lee said:The absolute basics for someone to catch my eye:

1. No smoking.😈

2. Great taste in music.
3. Witty and educated.
4. A little bit broken.

Yeah, that's the dream.

parliament said:To get my attention, she needs to:
-Be a left-wing liberal.
-Believe in Buddha or Rastafarianism while still showing up to church on Sundays.
-Think Coltrane's Giant Steps and Black Saint & Sinners Lady are top-tier albums.
-Have a degree in German studies.
-Know how to play at least the bass.

And then women just become complicated. 😁 😁

1. Randy " Biscuit" Turner - for pure kindness and a beautiful soul
2. That fake ex-college water polo player - for having a great physique
3. Bud & Terrence - for friendship through thick and thin
...

David Sullivan4 said:10. straight to Hell

Personally, I’m heading straight to hell with Physical Graffiti blasting in my ears.

What an idiot... Of course I meant the Newtown Neurotics, not the Neurotic Outsiders (who are cute enough, I suppose, but they just don't fit that category of endless punk sweetness 🙂).

Which one were you actually talking about, buddy?
