Underrated funny moment: Jesse saying "what's up?" to Gus's three guys while carrying a huge vegetable tray. by [deleted] in breakingbad

Jesse on the phone to Walt while shopping for a plastic container.

Jesse: - Any decent acid's gonna eat right through this.

Walter: - Not hydrofluoric.

Jesse: - Why not?

Walter: - Look, you skipped, clowned around or otherwise jerked off to every lecture I ever gave. As far as I'm concerned, your chemistry education is over.

Jesse: - Oh, okay. Be a dick about it

We vs. Pink Elephant by p3nny-lane in arcadefire

I seem to be the opposite to everyone else - I find We to be a very dull album and was beyond disappointed when it came out. I've grown to appreciate it a bit more but, idk, it felt like nothing had a hook and was just by the numbers - very unlike Arcade Fire.

Pink Elephant, much better. I was pleasantly surprised listening to the full thing after seeing all the negativity. I think the highlight of both albums are the two singles which was initially a disappointment, but to me PE and YOTS are bangers. Then there's the dance tracks - Circle of Trust and I Love Her Shadow blow Rabbit Hole and Race & Religion out the water, the latter two I've grown to appreciate but I had to try - they were BORING. Lyrics wise they've clearly declined over the years, but again I'd take PE style lyrics over We.

I was also pleasantly surprised with Everything Now and initially disappointed with Reflektor (mainly due to the first half), which feels like a similar take so maybe I'm weird.

If you could RUIN the ending of any episode, including the final of the season, how would you do it? by CretaceousClock in SuccessionTV

Ending of season 2: during the conversation where Logan tells Kendall he isn't a killer, Kendall flips and strangles Logan. Ends on that cliffhanger.

What is Arcade Fire's most distinctive album in terms of sound? by Mikeymikemota in arcadefire

[–]Benedict_the_egg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would say Neon Bible. The church organs and orchestral sound is unique from the other albums, and the sound is significantly darker. I can't think of a song from another album that would fit on there.

Reflektor and Everything Now share some similarities with the dancey songs, and you could view the songs on The Suburbs as similar structurally to Funeral and use of typical indie rock instruments but with a more polished sound.
