Mainstream radio generally sucks. Every once in a while they do play some good music. Jack FM often plays good stuff.
100% agree but I try to stay open minded so I search for stuff and listen to mainstream radio as well. I understand that mainstream radio plays to a certain audience. My biggest gripe about mainstream radio though is in regards to black radio stations. I understand why they wouldn’t want to play new and more positive music because why play good stuff when you can play trap music that sounds retarded?
However, the gripe is with hip hop and r&b old school stations (in my area). How I wish stations would play groups like Soul II Soul, Public Enemy, PM Dawn, Gang Starr and Erik B and Rakim to at least give people an alternative to the stuff they play now and show the younger generation how much music has changed.
-Breaking Bad finale was hot garbage. Awful from top to bottom, like a bad episode of the A-Team or Macgyver.
-Breaking Bad was a very good show, but it is now the most overrated show of all time. It doesn’t deserve to be in the same conversation as Sopranos, Wire, Mad Men, etc, but it does because it was so much more easily digestible to the masses because of the heightened violence, lack of subtext, and sticking to conventions.
-Brian Cox Dr. Lecktor >>>>> Anthony Hopkins Hannibal Lector
-Jodorowsky’s Dune looked stupid as hell and would’ve been 10x worse than Lynch’s
I only know one person my age (other than myself) that would know every one of those artists.
I completely agree.
Count me in on that agree too.
But Jodorowsky’s dune is so good on paper idk if it could’ve matched up. If it dropped before Star Wars the standards of cinema wouldve been set way higher.
Radiohead is god tier
This is not unpopular…still wrong though imo
-
Skrillex is really good. He writes SONGS with MELODIES unlike some producers who “write” noise that isn’t even good noise. Dude figured out how to get rock kids and the population at large to listen to electronic music too. Most people who don’t like him that I’ve met don’t like him because he’s popular or they don’t like electronic music in general.
-
None of the Star Wars movies are all that good. The acting is stiff, the stories are rather tepid, and they really haven’t aged well in general.
-
I’ve had more fun with some of the mobile games I’ve played than I have with some of the big selling console stuff. At least mobile games try to be just what they are, a fun diversion rather than some overblown attempt at high art.
And with that said…
- Video games with good story >movies of today. I got much much MUCH more out of the story of Silent Hill 2 than I have from pretty much any movie I’ve watched since the early 2000s.
The band Deathstars is awesome. I bet most people here don’t know about them. And, no, I’m not being an elitist. It’s just an obscure band from Europe.
Korra is a better character than Aang.
The period where Dick Greyson became Batman was the best period of Batman’s comic history. None of the batbooks sucked at that time.
Beast Wars is better than G1 Transformers.
Sierra Leone is the pinnacle of dubstep and will never be topped
Dubstep begins and ends with Rusko
Yeah, this is actually the first I’ve heard anyone have a similar opinion on this issue… for me, the medium itself-- “video games”-- it potentially offers much, much more pure entertainment value than any movie to me. That aspect of interaction, along with a bigger variety of possible outcomes and events… it’s hardly even fair to compare this medium to basically anything else, imo. Even a “mediocre” game of today can be a offer different experiences every time you play it. On the other hand… your favorite movie of all time will always play out the exact same way since the medium itself has no variations on what can happen in that story and world…everything is already written and put to film in a particular way.
At least for me, that makes it a much more interesting form of entertainment compared to anything else.
*Changing the race/gender of a character <-- this is silly and pointless, imo… and sometimes it irks me because the shit is just downright “incorrect”… like imagine how strange it would be if some director in the future decided to make a movie where Bruce Wayne is a short, slightly out of shape Mexican man… or if you have Alfred being played by Loretta Divine (still calling him “Alfred”)…or if they brought back Blade for a new movie…but he’s now being played by Michael Sera…or a new Xmen movie where the Juggernaut is portrayed by Margaret Cho…and of course you have the re-animated corpse of Ed McMahon playing Rogue. I think most don’t bother saying anything out of fear that they might come off as racist and/or sexist, not “progressive” enough (for this pansy ass modern era where people feel entitled to going through life never being offended by anything), etc.
I think I’ve agreed with pretty much everything you’ve typed except the Twitter thing.
And actually Bob Dylan having a shitty voice is a pretty popular opinion. That guy was lucky he wrote amazing songs and it was the 60s and everyone was high and didn’t notice his voice. :lol:
Sons of Anarchy sucks.
Haven’t watched Breaking Bad but if SoA is anywhere similar, I won’t bother.
Mainstream music still sucks, but it seems like the people that listens to it feels alien when ever I have pandora playing. Some of my friends are sheep.
Psy is embarrassing to hear(me being half Korean and at times the token asian)when all of a sudden one of his 2 songs gets played at a bar/club. Sometimes I feel like people want me to start breaking out that retarded bow legged dance move.
I give more respect to a dj that still plays on turntables than laptops and seratos.
Reality shows are always staged. Someone years ago disagreed with me, and I want to say he is a dumb ass, and must think pro wrestling is never choreographed.
The syndicated Zelda cartoon was better than most Zelda games.
Haven’t seen SoA, but I know it’s not anything like Breaking Bad.
People are sheep.
I can’t help you with the Psy thing.
I agree. A real dj is better than some guy wiht his phone and an auxiliary cord.
The reality show thing is a fact, not an opinion. They get the permits to film in a specific place, and they let the people go ahead and do that they want.
Current generation hip-hop > 90’s hip-hop
Explain yourself…
Agree, however, I’d like it if the storytelling didn’t try to emulate movies so much. MGS1 had that nice touch with codec calls, Hotline Miami’s story was pretty minimal, but its really excellent as a video game story. It tells so much through so little.
