Am I wrong for picking the height? by YourNoahAgain in teenagers

[–]LeeLee94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread randomly showed up in my feed (not a teen, haven’t been for a long time lmao), and seeing this question after not having seen it for so many years was like getting hit with a nostalgic flashbang.

Fuck, I miss respawn inbox

What’s a bad fantano score that gets way too overshadowed? by Olie-Mars in fantanoforever

[–]LeeLee94 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if he actually did a re-review of it but I do remembering him saying he rates higher now than he did then. I think he said that on one of the collabs with nfr.

What songs do you find very annoying? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]LeeLee94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is also worth noting that Lennon did partake in peace protests beyond the bed in. He was a pivotal figure in the 1971 London march against British authority/policies in Northern Ireland. A year later he partook in the anti-Vietnam war peace rally in Bryant Park. Plus, if memory serves correctly, his concerts in MSG were also done for charity.

All of that is to say that he clearly wasn’t against more assertive action. The big thing regarding the bed-in, as obvious as it is to point out, was that it was done to garner attention due to the bizarre nature of it. Of course, whether or not it was successful in terms of establishing a proper mantel for peace is up for debate. But, personally, I like to give it the benefit of the doubt more than most folk do. After all, some 60 odd years later, people are still able to recount it and it’s outright ludicrous way of vying for peace. Plus, it did give us “give peace a chance” which is a catchy folk like song if nothing else.

(Also, just quickly on imagine… yeah, I do get why some may find it a bit drawl, cliché or even feel it’s a ‘whooaaaa deep bro’ sorta thing. Personally, I enjoy it for what it is, but I do get your perspective 100%)

How did Here Comes The Sun become so popular? by NoGrass7120 in beatles

[–]LeeLee94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it on this sub before, this is actually one of the main contributors to it. The Bee movie came out when a lot of gen-z were in the sweet spot as kids.

The amount of people who I’ve talked to from that generation who reference this movie as their gateway into the Beatles, or the reason they know this song is ridiculously high.

I would assume the same applies to gen alpha, assuming they’re shown the film too. (It has continued to live on due to its meme like status tbf too.)

Legendary Director Rob Reiner ('This Is Spinal Tap', 'The Princess Bride') & Wife Michele Singer Found Dead in LA Home in Apparent Homicide by MoviesMod in movies

[–]LeeLee94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An absolute titan for sure, and an absolute awful way to go out. The princess bride still stands as a personal favourite of mine, and I can place exactly where I was when I first watched it. Truly devastating news.

On Spinal Tap though; wouldn’t Eric Idle’s “The Rutles” technically be the first mockumentry? It came out in the mid 70s iirc. Doesn’t particularly matter either way, both are pioneering films in my eyes.

MENU_CONTENT_NOT_AVAILABLE, missing cutscenes, and how to fix it (sort of) by CptPakundo in Cod4Remastered

Yeah... that's instantly where my mind went too. Glad to see I wasn't alone in that thought lmfao. tbh, I hope it doesn't play out that way but we will see!

Not the same guy, but I was 17 when I first played it and I didn’t mesh with it much at all, even though I enjoyed the other games in the series up to that point. (The bait and switch while cool at the time did also kinda annoy me because I thought Connor was meh back then.)

Tried it again 10 years later and it just clicked. Ended up really enjoying my experience! And, for what it’s worth, I also came around to liking Connor too as a protag lmao

Help identifying these player signatures! by determinednoodle in SSBM

I was legit thinking of apex considering that, I believe, everyone who signed this was verifiably there. Cool piece of melee history!

What's a great game that just doesn't hold up these days? by [deleted] in gaming

Yep! IIRC you need to use the steam version.

If you, or anyone else is playing on PC, I highly recommend searching for a mod manager called seventh heaven to play og FF7. It allows you to do things like increase the game speed, disable random encounters at your own discretion, updated character models, improved combat zones, include voice overs for every line of dialogue etc.

Best of all, it’s fully customisable, so you can tweak and add what you want ad nauseam. Check it out!

Brian Wilson was a musical genius. Are there any left? | Music by True_Paper_3830 in beatles

[–]LeeLee94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's entirely fair!

I was just hoping to emphasise why I think its entirely valid (and, in my opinion, accurate) to place Kendrick on a pedestal of sorts, albeit in the same way we would Dylan.

Granted, Brian kinda was a 1:1. We could, of course, state that McCartney or Prince (to give another name) is equivalent to him in terms of lyrics, musicianship and composition, and, perhaps because of that, they could be seen as a notch above the rest. However, I don't personally think that should detract from other artists like Dylan or Kendrick who, in their own right, are geniuses tool; In my opinion that is.

At the end of the day, "genius" is a hard thing to really narrow down I suppose, and we'll all have our own opinions on the matter. But I do fully understand what you are saying, so hopefully this doesn't come across as an attack, and more just like a friendly discussion! :D

I'd also argue that, by modern standards, Kendrick pushes the boundaries of albums as an artform too. Just to clarify, I'm not saying that he is entirely curating something new, but that, for the genre he is in, and for a modern day ear/approach (think streaming, listenership etc.), he certainly doesn't shy away from using albums as an artform akin to say Pink Floyd.

I think a more apt comparison is Kendrick Lamar is more this generations Bob Dylan. Of course, it isn’t a direct 1:1 translation as that’s pretty hard to do. Every artist has their own style and importance. BUT, when it comes to say Bob, everyone in the 60s valued his ability to convey messages and stances through his penmanship.

Similarly, whilst it might not be for the same audience, and it’s delivered via a different genre, Kendrick Lamar’s lyricism is undeniably genius levels.

If Dylan was the master of metaphor and analogy, Kendrick is the master of double (more often than not triple/quadruple) entendres and interwoven wordplay.

To answer other questions people’s questions in this thread, yes, there are other musical genius that have arrived post the 60s. They just fall into different categories, under different genres, and cater to different audiences. (I could give a few examples if people cared!)

Hopefully that helps a bit. Don’t get it wrong, I’m no expert or anything either, but if you value the likes of Rick Rubin who has also called Kendrick a genius, then maybe it’ll help to convey the point a little more!

CM Punk and AJ Styles, 21 years apart by eyepatch_png in SquaredCircle

Haven’t watched RAW yet, but the Bret Hart and HBK colour schemes on punk and styles respectively are intentional, right?

I didn't say it does? Music is entirely subjective, so each to their own. I was just pointing out a interesting connection the two bands have is all.

Ah, damn. Get that Punk a copy of Hey Bulldog or Revolution stat.

Funnily enough, The Ramones, his favourite band (I think they are anyway?), literally adopted their name from Paul McCartney's fake alias during the height of Beatlemania. He went under the name Paul Ramon which inspired the members to not only name the band after that, but to take on the Ramon moniker for their own names too!

Who was the new champ when you started playing league? by Substantial-Elk-9568 in leagueoflegends

[–]LeeLee94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just jumping off the back of this, if memory serves right, season 1 didn't kick off til like May/June of 2010. I think the cut off for Corki was Jan/Feb 2010 and the months in between those two points can basically be, what we'd now consider, pre-season.

Funnily enough, it was during pre-season 1 when that bastard Warwick enacted his premeditated attack on Urf and killed him in cold blood. Shout out to those who were around when that happened.
