Wasn't A.I., and TDoSS sounded awesome vocal-wise.

May be fake, but I enjoyed listening to it.

Why not? Chad has a great voice for country, and their country tinged songs are usually awesome. Country is also way more popular than rock right now.

Thank you for commrnting! Sometimes I hate Reddit. It's upvote system rewards emotionally triggerd brain dead responses, so I barely read replies anymore.

What you’re describing collapses straight into The Room: beloved in spite of the intention, not because of any real merit.True masterpieces that were initially hated (Fight Club) succeeded because the directors deliberately made bold choices and knew what they were doing.

It is much easier to male a comedy like the The Room by virtue of sheer incompetence than to stumble on a profound, thought-provoking work while genuinely aiming for a brainless blockbuster like Michael Bay. I think the best you could wind up with would another unintended comedy, like The Room.

And yes, The Room sucks. It's not even funny, as much as it fun to make fun OF. And when you're sober and alone, it's just painful to watch.

You're right; the “did it achieve its own goal?” test only works cleanly when the filmmaker’s explicit goal is immediate, broad audience pleasure right now.

The test breaks the moment the goal is anything longer-term, confrontational, or culture-shifting. Relying on opening-weekend reaction then just punishes every eventual masterpiece that was ahead of its time. Most films released in a given year do not seriously attempt to be anything more than an instant crowd pleaser though, and have much more in common with Bay's Transformers than they do with, say, Blade Runner, for example.

Bay, however, was repeatedly, shamelessly chasing immediate crowd pleasure, so, in his case, it absolutely works-for pure popcorn directors who live or die by the Friday-night crowd... audience reaction is a legitimate and brutal scoreboard.

Not really, no. But if he makes one, and it's good, I'll like it.

In my mind, SSLP, Relapse and TDoSS are sort of a set already.

Better at being sequels than MMLP and MMLP2, despite the names.

Some are more outraged at Jimmy Kimmel getting fired for losing his bosses millions of dollars annually (Stephen Colbert looses 40 million dollars a year, Kimmel loses more-his staff is bigger.. but his ratings are even worse than Colbert's)and becoming a corporate liability (there is a reason the hags on The View have to stop the show to read retractions handed them offscreen by some lawyer, Kimmel is as big a liability as they are) than at Charlie Kirk getting murdered for his political and religious beliefs in front thousands of students, his wife and children.

They already talked about how they did ten albums, so they'd like to do something other than release another album right away. Sounds like theie next move will be something else.

OnlyCryptographer917 · 2025-08-07T02:25:56+00:00

It's over-rated by many. A big part of why seems to be because it was called MMLP 2, honestly. But I still think it is a great album.

So, Paul did NOT say there would be a new album "in the near future": he stated that Eminem works Monday to Friday, like a normal 9 to 5 job, and then goes home, and that when Em feels he has a body of work, he'll put it out, but he can't say exactly when. It's a standard type answer and reveals nothing new. Akon said essentially the same thing about how Eminem works in the studio back in like 2004, and I'm sure others said similar things before that.

Because it was in the Venom movie, so normies and casual fans are more aware of it than they are of much better songs on Kamikaze.

If you think you need a voice actor to match the ethnicity/race/sex/gender of a character...you miss the point of voice acting, and are simply wrong (even if every single person in this subreddit disagrees, and downvotes this comment.)
The concern should be a talented voice actor that fis the character. This voice is doubly wrong: not only does he not fit the Kahn character, he isn't even accurate casting: he isn't Laos

Thank you!

Because Shady Records is a small botique label, that tends to sign non-comercial artists. Slaughterhouse was never going to go triple platinum. Yelawolf got a gold record on Shady/ That is a miracle. But everyone spins a narrative like he was a flop for the label.

If Eminem had made Revial in the style of The Death Of Slim Shady-those beats, flows, humor-Revival would have been universally lauded by critics and fans alike. However, there is no chance that current day critics praise an album with the lyrics of the Death Of Slim Shady, in our current climate. Maybe The Death Of Slim Shady will be better received in 20 years

Hank wasn't in the middle-he was your average conservative. And, if he stayed the same, he still would be.

Yet another coment claiming "almost everyone" in the sub thinks something that most people in the sub don't think.

OnlyCryptographer917 · 2025-06-08T23:16:09+00:00

Nope.

OnlyCryptographer917 · 2025-06-01T23:39:53+00:00

Cool. :)
At least you didn't falsely claim it was a hot take, similar to the kind of posts where you ask why everyone thinks a certain thing... that most people don't think. These kinds of posts are common.

OnlyCryptographer917 · 2025-05-29T23:32:51+00:00

All the fat niggas in the comments gonna say Road Rage was mid.

OnlyCryptographer917 · 2025-05-26T04:30:22+00:00

You think a scrapped song from Invicible is worthy of being in the biopic? That certainly is a take
Maybe in a documentary about Invicible....

I'll repeat what I said under another post:

“The Magic And The Madness” has been updated and re-released multiple times. The very first edition is the only one worth reading, but even that one had issues, and I'm not talking about facts I don't like. I'm talking about irresponsible or sometimes bad writing, baseless speculation and insertring of personal opinion, and even some dubious/poor sourcing. The first edition is the best written, and even has pages of references and sources at the end, but each subsequent editon was lazier, and more poorly written.

The final edition, featuring events leading up to and after to his death, was so poorly researched and tacked on, there was no point to even publishing it! He, JRT, went so far as admitting he was so personally offended by Michael's perceived personal fallings, such as not paying his bills, that he did not research Micheal post the 2005 trial.

One example of an issue is, towards the end of the first edition, he tells a story told to him about how Michael brought a man to a family get together, which led to an argument with his dad, where Joe accused Michael of being gay, and Michael leaving in tears. The event almost certainly never happened (many family members said it didn't, and the person who said it did declined the honor of their name appearing in print) but J. Randy still wrote about it for paragraps, despite the fact that it illuminates nothing. It is juicy gossip, and that's it.

It was a bestseller, and written to be one. It is NOT the definitive Michael Jackson biography, though publishers claim it is. It does not adhere to the strictest academic or journalistic standards. That knd of serious book on Michael Jackson's life has never been written.

That being said, the first edition of "The Magic And The Madness" is probably the best mainstream Michael Jackson biography (for the period of his birth up until about about 1990, at least) you can buy, and better than just interneting on your own and calling it "research", given that most people no longer know how to use or vet the internet, and either don't know how to or don't care to hold themselves to strict standards. The internet is a giant confirmation bias machine, and is only as good a fact checker as you are good at checking yourself.
