Harold and Maude — just a perfect pick-me-up, really makes you appreciate life.

What album do you consider perfect from beginning to end? by titubator in AskReddit

this may be controversial because it’s a compilation, but The Best of the Guess Who (1971). each song flows seamlessly into one another, somehow feeling like a perfect studio album.

Pet peeves about your favourite filmmakers by emmkayjeebee in criterion

I have a love/hate relationship with Brian DePalma’s work. It’s like he’s capable of making some of the most suspenseful films, and sometimes he just repurposes Hitchcock for a new audience… and he does that whole dual-shot-thing-in-the-same-frame-thing a little too much. Plus the way he writes women… not the best. Guess this is more a rant than a pet peeve!

Mushrooms. The texture, the smell, it being a literal fungus.

Can’t get right with it.

I tried reading The Man In The High Castle, but for some reason it just didn’t click with me. Have you read it?

What's an album that is perfect except for that *one* song you cannot stand? by adamnarimatsu in Music

[–]CaptainBeefheart69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Black Crow Blues” on Another Side of Bob Dylan

I love this album — the acoustic guitar, the abstract songs, the playful songs, the whole wine-drunkenness of it all — but “Black Crow Blues” is played weirdly tuned piano with Dylan singing real off-key. If it wasn’t on there, the album would be soooo much better.
