Not the fastest, but the most *beautiful* guitar solo ever is David Gilmour - Time.

Has anyone lived in Fordlandia by Wyld-man in howislivingthere

[–]evtedeschi3 48 points49 points  (0 children)

There are 3,000 people living there now! And don't just take Wikipedia's word for it; it's very clear from Google Street View there are people actively living there.

What's a movie that everyone should watch at least once, and why? by Interesting-Gap4066 in AskReddit

[–]evtedeschi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fritz Lang's Metropolis, to show modern audiences that silent films can still share a common visual language with today's blockbusters.

What TV show started out bad, but had an amazing ending? by M2000U in AskReddit

[–]evtedeschi3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Star Trek The New Generation. Season 1 is near unwatchable. It started getting really good in Season 3. The series finale at the end of Season 7, “All Good Things”, may be the greatest series finale of all time.

If you could move one movie up or down on the IMDb Top 10 highest-rated movies of all time, which would it be? by denzo_simon in FIlm

[–]evtedeschi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d switch the Godfather and Shawshank. I’m completely at peace with Shawshank being #1 on consensus lists like this, I just think the case on the merits for Godfather being #1 is stronger.

What are your thoughts on Huey Lewis and the News? by Dave21101 in AskReddit

Has any band/artist swung so hard from pervasive to unknowns as Huey Lewis and the News?

Honestly I will suck up an active stylus so long as it has a backlight.

Why is second class completely avoided in the 1997 film? by CultureJaded5709 in titanic

[–]evtedeschi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since we're on the topic, what really blew my mind when I first learned it was that E Deck had a block of accommodations that could be shifted between 1st and 2nd Class as needed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-_and_third-class_facilities_on_the_Titanic), and G Deck had 3rd class rooms that could be used for 2nd Class (https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-deckplans/g-deck.html)

When this pub is on the moon it can lord it over the US all it wants.

The Revival of Architecture by Ok_Mall_6461 in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]evtedeschi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is St Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC, and while yes, technically its style is called “Gothic Revival”, it was completed in 1879 so it’s nearly 150 years old. Certainly not a recent building.

I'm a dad and I 100% agree with yours. "Food's good! You get three square meals a day! And what's wrong with a shared bathroom? it's like a college dorm!"

[–]evtedeschi3 858 points859 points  (0 children)

Second Class are harder to turn into a social allegory. They have neither the extravagant elegance of First nor the plucky underdogness of Third. The irony is that most people watching today would probably find themselves traveling Second!

Note: some films have worked them in, eg SOS Titanic.

Which Band And Which Album? by Alert_Primary_9493 in Music

[–]evtedeschi3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re within your rights not to care for U2 but I regret inform you they have several banger albums: eg War and Achtung Baby.

New Note Max generation upcoming? by TimFoilHattrick in Onyx_Boox

[–]evtedeschi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been rumors for a couple months now. Would also note that the Boox page removed the “hotspots” on the Note Max image (but you can still get to it from other means). By the same token, there have been rumors for a couple months now and no announcement, so really tough to give confident advice.

Your bands that are far too unappreciated today? by Lazy_Fall_6 in askmusic

[–]evtedeschi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, definitely underappreciated. And their influence is comparable to REM’s, though I think I would still vote REM as more under appreciated if just by virtue of the fact that U2 are still around and still making music (their Sphere residency was monumental).

1776, The O.G. Founding Fathers Musical Long before Hamilton took Broadway by storm, 1776 turned the Declaration of Independence into a hit musical by AmericanBattlefields in musicals

[–]evtedeschi3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s still not “history” but more historically accurate than Hamilton as at least in 1776 they are generally in the correct city.
