Lots of interesting picks and rationales as always but the thing that immediately jumped out is that you've never heard Forever Changes? You have...
Got Count Basie's The Complete Decca Recordings, 3 discs for $5. Record stores that are snooty about vinyl are really ripe for steals on CD.
I've said from the moment Chloe took on Eternals that I couldn't wait to see what her next "one for her" was. I am no less excited now.
Saw Touch today and thought it was completely wonderful. The bones of the story could have been cliche but in practice it's literary, delicate,...
Oh hell yeah. Has anyone ever shot cities at night better than Michael Mann? And for him to have it down that well on his FIRST movie? Nuts.
Images from this show up in my dreams/nightmares every so often. Just really hits that eerie/uncanny sweet spot so well.
I fucking love Shinkai. I feel things when I watch his movies that very few others can elicit.
Bambi is oddly beautiful. Maybe their best use of the multiplane technology they developed.
Strangers on a Train is Hitchcock's 3rd best behind the two Jimmy Stewart masterpieces. So many shots I can recall instantly despite having seen...
Oh I've heard of Bonfa. He and Jobim did the music for Black Orpheus, which is one of my all-time favorite movies. Absolutely will be checking...
You have a few I really like there and a few I need to hear. For Jorge Ben I'd say A Tabua de Esmeralda and Africa Brasil are no-brainers. I'm...
Ryan Reynolds is funny and I enjoy seeing him in movies. He's been in quite a few just eh or not great movies, but he's not the problem with them.
Cool list, though crazy to omit "Day Tripper"
I certainly have no expertise in it, but I do LOVE everything I've heard. Just such a thrilling combination of sounds and ambitions.
Right of passage for all-time-great weirdos. Prince got brutally booed when he opened for the Stones, as I recall.
Legends. Four Tops Second Album is one of the best things Motown ever released.
Dead Ringers is good, cold, and queasy. Y'know...Cronenberg.
I haven't. I've probably seen clips from it isolated but I'll seek out the whole thing.
Well that immediately flies up the list.
Just have "Sympathy Is a Knife" and "I Think About It All the Time" on constantly.
Sorry to quote an old post but dude this fuckin' cooks.
I was watching The Dance again recently and that was absolutely their peak as a live act. Older stuff never felt quite as fully-realized as they...
The only decent Scary Movie is 3 because Zucker, douchebag that he is, at least brought in some fundamentally-sound slapstick.
I couldn't make it work last time but I'm on summer break from school rn so count me in.
I can listen to the Stones and The Who any time. Floyd and Zeppelin, good as they are, have become more mood bands for me.
