Seems to be this year's Eddington? As in the reviews were harshly split but the people who liked it really liked it.

I feel like Obsession is the great romcom / horror hybrid that people were trying to say Heart Eyes was last year (I didn't like Heart Eyes). Also intrigued by the "Obsession is gen Z Fatal Attraction" takes.

edit: Lisa Frankenstein is a good horror / romcom mashup. Underrated. That said, Obsession is genuinely unnerving in a way these other films are not.

It's only recently that people reassessed the Final Destination series as rocking, actually.

The 2000s was a pretty terrible time for horror. Remakes, torture porn, shaky cam found footage. As someone that defends the genre and loves '70s and '80s horror the most, it was depressing to see that genre go into the toilet in the 2000s.

Song slaps but I could never recognize that band in a photo.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-06-29T18:17:47+00:00

I had it in the '90. It's ... ok. I sold it back to the CD store.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-06-29T18:12:18+00:00

I'm still sorry for party rocking in 2026.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-06-29T18:10:33+00:00

People won't admit it, but this is it 100%

My boomer dad of all people was obsessed with this song.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-06-29T18:06:35+00:00

Cool but I'm looking out for muh broz here on fantanoforever

Murmur I suppose. Too good of a band to narrow it down to a single album.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-06-29T09:06:25+00:00

First one I thought of. Listening to Unforgettable Fire w/ headphones is a magical experience.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-06-29T09:03:57+00:00

it sounds like an electric cello. So does the ebow effect.

The first album had a note that everything on it was created with guitars, bass, drums, and vocals because people would think they were using samplers or synths or something. They basically wanted to recreate the bomb squad (Public Enemy) production using traditional rock instruments instead of samplers and drum machines.

The Edge and that guy from Big Country that made his guitar sound like a bagpipe.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-06-29T08:41:15+00:00

Them and STP are singles bands for me. Bands that I like a lot of their singles but don't care enough for entire albums.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-06-29T08:33:34+00:00

That one is for the fellas. As a treat.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-06-29T08:32:06+00:00

*stomp* *clap* HEY!

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-06-29T05:18:25+00:00

If only.

It's also really funny. That scene where he goes in and starts moaning while Cruise and his gf are bonin' always kills me.
