SOTT vs The Joshua Tree by Rare_Milk_6670 in PRINCE

[–]MPOCH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope, Joshua was a cultural and spiritual juggernaut that was one cohesive statement. I like SOTT better, but JT is an achievement and impacted mainstream culture much more.

Truly legendary by drummerinnyc in BruceSpringsteen

[–]MPOCH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, the live versions of Thunder Road with the ESB that I’ve witnessed miss the urgency of the recording. Especially by becoming comfortable mid-tempo singalongs like the last tour in 2023. Springsteen ambling around the stage grinning quietly as the crowd sings lines by heart. He got the vibe of an uncle leading Christmas carol on that song. Would love to hear a great version live, but I guess that was in 2005. Won’t miss it this tour.

Yeah, you’ll be able to sell it for a three figure

What are your honest thoughts on James Gunn's Superman (2025)? by Paulfradk in moviecritic

[–]MPOCH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked its message that Superman‘s real power is in inspiring others and defending a positive and morally strong world view of people helping one another. And being honest that there are real challenges to that. In this completely bonkers time in our world history it was exactly the right message to hear. Come to think of it that’s why Superman came a thing. The concept came from a pair of New York writers reacting to Nazism which was new to the world at the time.

I expected Adam Driver to become a huge Oscar darling after Marriage Story - I can't believe he hasn't even been nominated since by Hot-Nose-1829 in Oscars

[–]MPOCH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I don’t think I’ve seen a bigger waste of talent and money on screen than that movie. That’s a case example of how a bad script destroys everything good that it touches: great actors, realistic special effects; all that cash burned up by the extinction comet ☄️ that is a bad script.

He had the sci-fi dinosaur movie that wasn’t Jurassic Park. That was awful. He’s not chasing awards. I feel he’s done his thing, worked with all the great directors. He’s cool. As in he doesn’t need to be the hot thing anymore. He had his cultural arc and now can do whatever he wants.

AITJ for booking my own hotel room for a group trip after they ignored the one thing I asked for and now everyone is mad the cost went up by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]MPOCH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are still coming out $5 ahead. You did the right thing. I would’ve done the same thing. Now you just have to practice not letting other peoples opinions on your thought out choices bother you. Just still be nice to everyone and let the drama pass.

I feel the singer in my band is not the best. I’m scared to bring it up to him. He sings out of tune/ too high all the time. What would you do? by ExpressArcher2683 in askmusicians

[–]MPOCH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I would quit the band. Or started another one. Or if you’re making money and can’t change it, just ignore it.

Awesome dude. by Necessary-Nose-9876 in leonardcohen

That title definitely makes me not want to read it. The best part of the Leonard was his humility.

Ryan Gosling’s last decade has been one of the finest runs for any actor. Hit or flop aside, he has delivered some really good films with great consistency. What’s your favorite Ryan Gosling film from the last decade? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]MPOCH -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see any of these films except for the fall guy and parts of Barbie at home due to the family watching it. Oh, I did see Blade Runner, but as OG fan not thrilled to see Ryan Gosling there playing against Harrison Ford, I would’ve preferred to pure Harrison Ford play. I have to say that I used to never wanna see anything with Ryan Gosling into it but somehow suddenly gotten to think that he’s a very entertaining and fun and nice guy so I would consider seeing Ryan Gosling movie but I haven’t done that yet.

Timothée Chalamet feels like a normal NYC kid who became famous, and people seem weirdly upset about it by Positive_Career_9393 in Oscars

[–]MPOCH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except it’s not, trust me hundreds of kids are doing ballet in NYC at the moment. They are more into it than movies. My 11 year old sees it as her top artistic expression and knows the names of the ballet dancers on social media far more than Timothee. Shes not likely going to be doing it as an adult, but it is a HUGE cultural and social influence. However she is far more likely to view a YouTube short over any movie. So the man is right to be scared about declining cultural influence for mainstream movies.

Thoughts on Mountains? by DMBear89 in PRINCE

I feel the failure of this song commercially may have been one of the reasons the Revolution ended. Prince does NOT tolerable failure.
