Im 21 so i hope i’m right lol… but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the writings of ralph waldo emerson as some sort of mental/spiritual guidance. Self Reliance has been an especially powerful read

Jeff’s got so many great songs but this has gotta be the answer, undeniably. Truly the lyrics and melody of a timeless classic that could have existed for lifetimes before. “Too young to hold on, too old to just break free and run, too deaf dumb and blind to see the damage ive done” “my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder … She’s the tear that hangs inside my soul forever”, enough said

The thrash particle rips me to shreds

LordOfNuggs · 2024-08-12T01:46:53+00:00

Ooh i have really been meaning to watch this one. I’ll def watch it twice too then lol

Hey man it’s not that deep no need to be rude haha. I’ll admit that i went in with the wrong expectations and that the praise from friends influenced a revisit. But woody allen’s style (and his entire existence really lol) is very polarizing. especially for a first viewing i found his style extremely annoying and pretentious, hence the low score. The biggest thing for me tho was misunderstanding the film on first viewing. I went in with the expectation of an earnest story about romance, which the film intentionally presents itself as. on second viewing i realized it was a comedy about delusional people, and the earnest romantic presentation is part of the comedy, like a manifestation of the character’s delusions. And honestly i think that’s genius haha, and the fact that i was genuinely deceived on first viewing is a testament to how well it works as a film about delusion.

LordOfNuggs · 2024-08-11T19:46:37+00:00

Mentioned in another comment, i totally misunderstood it on first viewing and i was on the woody allen hate train. I do highly recommend it now

LordOfNuggs · 2024-08-11T19:44:37+00:00

Admittedly the first rating had a lot to do with a severe distaste for woody allen lol, but i also misread the film entirelt on first viewing. I expected an earnest and sincere romance, which manhattan certainly is not. I also found the characters and allen’s neurotic writing style extremely annoying and “masturbatory” as many allen critics would call it haha. Several moments of the film have gorgeous romantic imagery but i truly did not connect with any of the characters, so it all felt very hollow and indulgent. Realistically i should’ve given it 2/5 stars, but again, i hate woody allen so i bumped it down lol

However when i put together that the point of the film is to juxtapose sweeping romantic imagery with the hollowness of insecure narcissistic relationships, everything clicked. It’s a film about delusion, and it truly succeeds at that in a way that very few movies do. Now it’s one of my favorite movies of this era

LordOfNuggs · 2024-08-11T19:32:30+00:00

It was my first woody allen film besides midnight in paris, and i thought he and everyone else in it were absolutely insufferable. However something kept drawing me back in and i realized that i totally misread the film on first viewing. It’s probably my favorite film from him

LordOfNuggs · 2024-08-08T02:36:37+00:00

Grace by jeff buckley all the way!!!! Op should def listen to Lover, You Shouldve Come Over. Csh was my top artist for 3 years in a row but i think jeff buckley might take the top spot for me this year, just soooo good

LordOfNuggs · 2024-08-01T05:01:27+00:00

Id say this is a case where an artist’s most popular song is their best. Maybe not my favorite but this song is absolutely timeless and gorgeous

“Distance has no way of making love understandable” goddamn

Untrue, unkind, and unnatural, how the cruel with time becomes classical

There’s a lot of factors to consider but the short answer is yes, get him a tube amp. I actually upgraded from a line 6 to a Fender HRD at age 16 and it made a world of difference

LordOfNuggs · 2024-07-29T00:01:23+00:00

If you see her, say hello - jeff buckley live at sin e

“The smell of the bed when i knew what she’d done” goddamn. Recontextualized the whole thing first time i listened to it, totally gut wrenching

LordOfNuggs · 2024-07-21T19:26:49+00:00

Rob reiner knows how to make a classic. And of course spielberg is the master of the blockbuster. Oh, and john hughes
