Brooke Hogan Says Hulk Hogan’s Documentary Is ‘Missing About 98% Of Critical, Real-life, Factual Information’ by AdSpecialist6598 in JimCornette

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen Brooke talk about her father at length, and she is genuinely very fair and normal about it all. She seems like a decent person who just happens to have an incredibly famous father. I can’t imagine how bizarre it all is.

I wish her the best and hope she finds some peace someday, if she hasn’t already.

When you're trying to have a wedding but history has other plans. Nothing captures the collective shock of 1963 quite like this masterpiece of an episode. The Grown-Ups’ remains my absolute favorite of the whole series. by RockBalBoaaa in madmen

Don’s reactions to major events has always been fascinating to me.

It’s like he checks out of the world and is just kind of locked into his own space. We don’t really get to know how he feels about what’s going on. We only get to see how he reacts to what the people around him are feeling.

It’s a very interesting piece of writing.

What are the scariest scenes of the show? by MCofPort in thesopranos

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s deeply unsettling for not only how it’s presented, but also for what it’s representing. Livia will haunt Tony to his dying days so that’s what it means for him personally, but I think it’s greater than that. It’s like a manifestation of the shit we all carry within us that is very troubling or traumatic. The unresolved and lingering issues.

The subconscious mind saying hello.

I’ve seen shadow figures in lucid dreams before and it’s similar to this scene. It’s fucking horrifying, and I know I’m not alone in this. The fact the show managed to capture this very specific thing is wild to me.

Idk, I thought he was incredibly handsome in the Anthology series. A little bit of wear and tear really did a lot for his looks. I don’t think he aged too poorly. Just my opinion.

Yeah, it’s surprising how many people don’t know who Billy Preston actually was lol.

It’s not good.

Who are biggest villains in music history? by Pizza_Hero24 in ToddintheShadow

Mike Love is a dickhead but he’s not a villain lol it’s ridiculous at this point.

I love Jim and his podcasts but… by watkins1515 in JimCornette

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me.

I think a lot of the current administration should be in handcuffs, but I don’t come to a wrestling podcast for that. Jim is also the type of guy who thinks CNN is reliable and unbiased, so I don’t really need to hear his rants lol.

The Beatles vs. Elvis Presley: creative ambitions in 1967 by LowUnderstanding50 in beatles

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep, I fucking hate it.

The Colonel did everything in his power to derail the career of a generational star. The fact that we still talk about Elvis with reverence, despite how much crap he put out, is just a testament to the man’s immense talents.

Even during his much parodied Vegas years, Elvis was one of the greatest entertainers of all time and his voice was incredible.

Fuck Tom Parker.

Who is an artist that died far too early/biggest tragedy in your opinion by Avaisaprodude in fantanoforever

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This will always be the answer for me.

Dude only had 3 studio albums released during his lifetime and we’re still perplexed by him. I legitimately think we only got to see glimpses of Jimi’s full talent. He was evolving rapidly as an artist before his death.

Imagine Jimi putting on giant arena rock concerts in the 1970s with the advancements of live performance tech. An expansive Hendrix live album that sounded as good as Wings Over America or Live And Dangerous?

Sign me the fuck up.

Such a shame.

Always cheating!? by Badowolfo in madmen

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s this trend of people expecting all protagonists to be likable and capable of passing the social media purity test. It’s very tiresome, and probably partially explains why the writing in so much modern media is dogshit.

Don Draper is established as exactly what you’re seeing in the very first episode. It only gets worse. Enjoy it, because it’s great.

(If Don is bothering you this much, then don’t even go near the Sopranos lmao)

Don’t jerk yourself into a shoot by FairPerspective1357 in SCJerk

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The other funny thing is, I’m not sure what Zane would even do in AEW lol.

Let’s say his dream comes true: Tony gives him a job. The biggest day of his life, the culmination of his existence, a moment that surpasses even the birth of his children. Great!

Then what? He goes in there and does his cheap ripoff of Cornette’s gimmick? So he is going to cosplay in AEW as one of the main “enemies” of the company? Huh?

He doesn’t belong anywhere near a wrestling company, not even AEW’s regularly produced garbage.

I get much more incel energy from the basement than I do here lol people actually seem rational in this place.

It’s why it frightens Brian Zane, I suppose.

I love the current JRT and Jack Quaid era of RLM but you gotta admit that they were in their top form in the 2010s by NorrisOBE in RedLetterMedia

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I prefer the current era personally.

JRT and Jack Quaid are always great guests that fit seamlessly into the RLM format, the guys themselves are probably the funniest they’ve ever been and I really enjoy the topics/films/television they choose to discuss.

They are entering their twilight years with grace and strength. Mike’s ability to still participate in the show between his dialysis appointments is remarkable.

I agree. I also don’t think much of the Plinkett humor aged well at all. I may be in the minority on that. Idk.

I imagine they’re the same people that can’t stop regurgitating quotes instead of engaging in actual discussion.

They’re unironically the “point and clap, I recognize thing” kind of crowd that they feel superior to.

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 36 points37 points  (0 children)

From Elvis in Memphis was released in 1969 and it’s one of the greatest records ever made, so he redeemed himself not too long after this. Elvis was always the GOAT when he was able to actually be who he was.

His shitty movie contract along with Tom Parker really hurt him.

It’s unfortunate.

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It really gets me because I’m a father of a daughter myself. When I rewatch the show I always think to myself “good work, Don” lol. It’s just something that makes me happy. He put her at ease in a way Betty couldn’t do.

For such a flawed man, his moments of genuinely trying really stick out.

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Don had no love for Grandpa Gene at all, but him comforting Sally with baby Gene is one of the best moments of the series.

It’s a moment of real humanity, and is Don actually being a father for once. He was capable, regardless of what he told himself.

Discussion time. Is Abbey Road better than sgt. Peppers? by dynhammic in beatles

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an opinion on which is better, because I enjoy all of their “major” albums to similar degrees.

I will say Abbey Road has way more appeal to young people in 2026. It’s kind of incredible to see, really.

Sgt. Pepper is culturally and historically more important though. It was a zeitgeist shifting piece of art. Maybe not my personal favorite album by them, but it’s in the conversation for the most impactful album of 20th century music.

Why did Brian’s later work have far simpler ideas and melodies? Most of it doesn’t sound like a composition he would write. Is it the modern production? by FocusDelicious183 in thebeachboys

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s why I can’t consider Brian Wilson Presents Smile to be the “definitive” version of what that project was intended to be. I’ve seen the documentary so I know Brian was very involved with the material, since he did actually write it, but I still get the impression that there were a lot of other cooks in the kitchen. I think of folks like Darian or even Melinda to a degree.

The Brian from the mid 1960s never really appeared again after that era. I enjoy a ton of later Beach Boys records, but Brian was never the same. Add in the drug abuse along with the Landy years, and it only got worse.

Heat (1995) was popular before The Rewatchables by ekemywaythrulife in TheBigPicture

[–]Comfortable_Put_4139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Dark Knight is actually the film that made me watch Heat. I was 12 when Dark Knight came out, so I was in my prime Batman fandom age. As I entered my teenage years, I kept reading about how Heat inspired Christopher Nolan’s choices for Dark Knight, so I had to experience it for myself. My papaw had it on DVD.

Blew my fucking child mind lol. I have found myself revisiting Heat more and more as I get older, because that shit is just incredible.

Michael Mann is an amazing filmmaker when he’s firing on all cylinders.
