    @YoHabloEspanol, I think postal service is a super group. Every musician was famous prior and the band stays consistent. Gorillaz are not a super group because its one man's visions and the collaborators and producers change on every album. You mught as well call the Blueprint as Kanye, Jay Z...

    @Joe Mac-- w/ Radiohead, mine is either The Trickster or Wickid Child. But I feel like both of those fall more into the category of B-sides

    Is it though? Because the orgins of the word refer to the inner side of a record that's less likely to get played. And if you own a record, are you not a fan?

    I'm in two Music leagues-- and one of them has caused a huge argument in regards to what qualifies as a deep cut. Is it: A) Basically anything that isn't a single or on the radio or.. B) A song that even fans often overlook Also-- we should get a N&G Music League going

    All fair. I think that, as somebody who worships the Before Trilogy and had just watched Return to Seoul, I couldn't help compare to them while watching... perhaps to Past Lives detriment. I'm also 36 and still single because of being the type who was shy (without realizing I was good looking...

    I really enjoyed it while also not loving it as much as so many others and feeling a bit disappointed because my expectations were so high. Got to American Fiction last night. Felt a little clusmy in some spots in regards to the family stuff and touch outdated in some of its Hollywood critiques...

    Yeah I know. We've had enough conversations over the years to understand your intent. Funnily enough, I didn't see your comment until after basically typing the exact same thing in regards to the lowest common denominator.

    Yet that doesn't change the fact that Starship Troopers is a masterpiece nor that it has had 0 impact on the rise of facism in this country or around the world. Agree with both of your points. But the larger point is that keeping Trump out of office prevents that (for now). And that waking up...

    A) Fight Club and Martix are stone cold classics and if Civil War is on their level, I'll be estatic even if a small subsect of dipshits can't think critically. B) Those same dispshits aren't ever going to be capable of creating a civil war in this country. The only people who can trigger us...

    Funnily enough-- other than Men, my least favorite Garland film is probably Never Let Me Go. The book is exceptionally close to my heart and the film, while mostly well received, simply can't hold a candle to it. I'd guess that Garland learned a lot in adapting it and that the process shaped...

    Sort of. He wrote the book though, not the screenplay.

    Def meant for this thread. Movie nerds gonna movie nerd. More curious if it's on the radar people outside of our film obssessed bubble. I mean, like most, I found Men to be a complete mess. Abiet and quite memorable one. So I don't think Alex is beyond misses. But Ex Machina is one of my 10 or...

    Very excited for Alex Garland's new film and find the visceral reaction people are having hilarious. The guy writes some of the smartest sci-fi of the 21st century and people are worried it's going to be a pro-war movie? The test screenings have been very positive, trailers are always...

    Watched Five Easy Pieces, The Taking the Pelham 1 2 3 and Blue Collar tonight. I enjoyed the first two but it was the least iconic of the three that really blew me away. Blue Collar was a theamtically rich, 100% timeless masterpiece. For those who haven't seen it, it's Paul Schrader's 1978...
