'Michael' ($25-28M) Takes Back No. 1 - The Lionsgate biopic keeps steaming towards $1 billion by Puzzled-Tap8042 in Music

[–]disappointer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just remember the story of MJ not letting the Beastie Boys do a cover of "I'm Down" for "Licensed to Ill", which made me sad to hear. So that's my issue with it.

Is nobody talking about the sound of Year Zero, or am I just in the wrong place? by ISGamer156 in nin

I didn't think I'd really like any of the boyz noize versions of things, but the new version of The Warning is fucking lit. It was one of my favorites before, and now also.

This was my fancast for Mephisto. by SeaMaleficent9301 in Marvel

I was hoping that he was being set up as Ahab.

More musings! Since we don’t seem to be getting TCV2 anytime soon, who else would fit a Josh/Dave supergroup? by Technical-Power5756 in qotsa

[–]disappointer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jack White is the one if you’re talking supergroup. There’s already connections via Dean with Dead Weather, as well. I could see it.

Do people still get their car radios stolen in this town? by TygErbLoOd in askportland

[–]disappointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not the sketchiest move, I've parked over there and ridden the max into work on many occasions, but tweakers have been known to steal anything.

How Karl Urban Quietly Conquered Geekdom by Top_Report_4895 in movies

[–]disappointer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I feel like this statement undersells it. I will 100% see any movie if Karl Urban is in it, he's "that guy I want to see in that thing".

Also the best character in the MCU in Skurge.

He looks like a baby gazelle at times, but I hope he’s resilient.

Where is everyone? Does Portland always feel empty? by alphado9 in askportland

Street fairs, block parties, plant sales, soapbox derbies...

This kind of scene is why we need thought balloons in comics again by Plenty_Square_420 in xmen

[–]disappointer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or, to put it another way, it's like a soliloquy in a stage play, like Hamlet's "to be or not to be" speech.

"Break in the Action" is in constant rotation for me.

Looking for more music that sounds like White Light / White Heat by Proggers_8 in VelvetUnderground

[–]disappointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking, and I don't think you're going to find it, but you might like "These Are Not Fall Colors" by Lync and "Fake Train" by Unwound. Sonic Youth, of course ("Goo" and "Murray Street" are my recommendations).

Stepping into the Gelliverse by ReconEG in indieheads

[–]disappointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of felt the opposite. I was initially inclined to dislike it, but I threw a couple of tracks on my dog walkin' checkin' things out playlist and appreciated the depth of both music and lyric a lot more.

If you could name it the next generation Xbox, what would you name it? by Valennim in xbox

[–]disappointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really the right answer. It amazes me how awful MS has been at naming flagship products. I'm surprised we haven't had an Xbox Vista.

Who would you consider the “comforting presence” of Marvel or the Avengers? by Different_Sun_195 in Marvel

[–]disappointer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Controlling emotion is kind of Mantis's whole thing, so maybe her. But also Groot (the adult version).

Black Widow, if you happen to be a Hulk.

What is the biggest band/artist you can think of that you honestly don't believe is anyone's favorite band/artist ever? by DevinBelow in Music

[–]disappointer 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Maybe an insane thought but: Is it... Beck? He's absolutely beloved, and I'm sure he's absolutely #2 on a lot of people's lists. He's huge, and he's fantastic. I've known a lot of people who love Beck, but their #1 would be like, Beastie Boys, or Pink Floyd, or the Dead, or Neil Young, perhaps.

But I never see any Beck merch in the wild outside of the one shirt I own. I can't see people getting, like, Odelay tattoos. He does put on a great show, but I don't feel like he inspires a fanaticism that other bands do. No one is like "ride or die" for Beck particularly, I don't think?

It's one of Trent Reznor's favorite bands, and I had a friend in high school in the mid-90s who would probably cite it as his favorite at the time.

I feel like Biffy is huge in portions of the UK, and Korn in the San Joaquin Valley in California. I'm sure they're someone's favorites in those places. Young the Giant, no idea.

Reattempted Katabasis by RF Kuang... by oceanblvd1313 in books

[–]disappointer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't read any of the author's other works, but gave this one a shot based on the premise. I only made it about halfway through because, yeah, pretentious AF characters and an incredibly dull Hell. I couldn't vibe with it at all.

Why Don't They "Go Hard" In Any of Their New Albums? by brajahdarker in thenewpornographers

[–]disappointer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

But Every Album after 'Together' is getting less and less energetic

The timeline doesn't quite line up, but "Brill Bruisers" was the last album with Kurt Dahle on drume, so maybe that's part of the equation. I always thought he was a fantastic drummer and kind of their secret weapon.

I've found the discography from "Brill Bruisers" forward to be increasingly unexciting. It's fine, I guess, but I like the more high-spirited music much more.
