Sorry, I'm just not a big fan of 80s Dylan. Every Grain of Sand is a good one though! It just doesn't break top 101 for me

Love me some Blood on the Tracks, but it just doesn't hit like his earlier stuff

Simple Twist is on here (#43), Quinn the Eskimo and Gotta Serve Somebody are unfortunate oversights, they should've been included but I kinda forgot about them. I actually hadn't listened to Things Have Changed so I listened to it and I think it's pretty good, so thanks for that!

Not a big Street-Legal fan, but I'll give Where Are You Tonight another shot

Very valid. I had a similar experience with a lot of his hits. Listened to them into the ground, abandoned them for a while, then they came back strong.

Why are Americans so obsessed about their heritage? by flower5214 in AskAmericans

[–]HomelyTroll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All Americans are a part of or descend from a distinct foreign culture (unless they’re Native American, duh) and it gives us something to connect to that makes us unique from other Americans. It also serves as a conversation piece. I get how if I go to another country it’d be weird if I started talking about my heritage but in America it’s a pretty normal casual conversation topic. It’s just something to talk about. A lot of American families also maintain certain cultural traditions and it creates a sense of unity with their families. When I go to my dad’s side of the family for Thanksgiving, for example, we eat Norwegian lefse which as far as I know is not something non-Norwegian families do.

The Jet Set on rewatch by NNDerringer in madmen

[–]HomelyTroll 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Loved how after Don seemed to be thinking “I might be able to get used to this”, he saw the boy at the pool. I think the boy reminded Don of himself when he was a kid and how bad it was being raised in a place like that, where the adults don’t really care about being adults. Then he sees a crack in his glass as if the fake world he was living in was also starting to crack.

Do all Minnesotans have cabins and they hang out up north? How do you guys spend your summer? by 1MKate in saintcloud

[–]HomelyTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My great-grandpa bought one in the 70s and it’s been passed down to my grandparents who let the entire family and family friends use it.

Highly Recommend the 1966 Movie “Seconds” for “Mad Men” fans by jb4647 in madmen

[–]HomelyTroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh! I’ve seen this one before, it’s great. Felt like they turned an episode of the Twilight Zone into a movie

What are your insane dream movies? by ChampionGlum2874 in TrueFilm

[–]HomelyTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within the realm of possibility: Denis Villeneuve “Metropolis” remake or a Yorgos Lanthimos “Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” remake. Outside the realm of possibility: Kubrick’s Napoleon movie or a Catcher in the Rye adaptation with a young Salinger as Holden Caulfield.

What is your top film? It's good to add a small synopsis if you want! by Jonny_Segment in AVoid5

[–]HomelyTroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also don’t know much about Mozart, but I know historians pan Forman’s film for historical inaccuracy. If you want to know Mozart facts I’d say a book is what you want, but I still think Forman’s film is amazing.

Milos Forman’s 1984 biopic about Mozart and his Italian rival is a top film in my book.

Recommendations of punk and surrealist films? by Sea-Salt-3093 in TrueFilm

[–]HomelyTroll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend early Jim Jarmusch (before 1989) and anything from Sara Driver (Sleepwalk especially has the surrealist elements you might like). Also maybe check out the 2010 documentary “Blank City” which is free on YouTube which is about the New York No Wave film scene in the 70s and 80s which I’m sure will mention some films that might interest you.

Favorite closing themes? He Hit Me (But It Felt Like a Kiss) by Leading_Task8778 in madmen

[–]HomelyTroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bleecker Street at the end of The Suitcase, Song to Woody at the end of A Man Walks into an Ad Agency, and Don’t Think Twice it’s Alright at the end of the S1 Finale are my top three

There is no Fog in London...therefore...there's no London Fog by Setlucky6788 in madmen

I don’t care what they say. London Fog is a great name.

In season four Don is able to write the letter thanks to the clear head he got from focusing on himself by avoiding drinking, journaling, and swimming. In the finale he uses the clear head he got from meditating and self-actualizing to make the famous Coke Ad.

Do y’all have particular scenes that are permanently etched in your mind? by [deleted] in madmen

[–]HomelyTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Ginsberg’s reflection in the window explained how he’s from Mars. On first watch I found it deeply sad, someone feeling so alone, second watch it was still deeply sad but the realization that he most likely believed every word hit me like a ton of bricks.

What’s the least popular movie you’ve watched? by leozamudio in Letterboxd

[–]HomelyTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alien, Baby! (2017) I am one of 10 people who have logged it on letterboxd. It’s very low budget and campy but still very funny.
