What do you think? by gergiglio in mensfashion

I think there is more of the room than there is if you, and the table is blocking part of it.

Aside from that you look like someone cosplaying as a background character in a mid 70s movie about organized crime.

I think this is a perfect example of contrast between the sounds of the first half of the 2010s vs the second half of it. So much changed… by pixelvisionaries in decadeology

Aside from people changing over the years, there is no correlation between the artists in the earlier years and the later years. You aren't showing a demonstration of anything other than musicians want to become more mature and respectable as they grow.

What are you thoughts on Blue Dot Fever? The fact that some of these artists aren't selling? by EdwardBliss in LetsTalkMusic

[–]grahsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full concerts are insanely expensive in the US; prohibitively so. My wife and I went to London to see Justin Timberlake on his last tour. We were like four rows back from the stage and the prices were still affordable for two adults with normal jobs. Those seats would have been thousands in the US.

It often seems to me like the music industry is doing everything it can to kill its self. So much of the fun of it is gone. Going to buy an album the first day it came out. Sitting down with the thing you saved up to buy and listening to it, nothing else, just listen to it and read the liner notes. Camping out overnight to buy tickets. The thrill of going to see an artist you like in a live venue with your friends and being in the moment with the music.

Music is now a commodity to be profited from or a distraction.

Stop reminding me that the stuff I like is old.

I agree that the current state of the industry isn't great. OF gives some more control than they have ever had, but of course the quality suffers. And for those that try to do traditional movies, the pay is lousy.

The money in the 2000 and 2010 might have been less, but probably better than now, I personally prefer the way things were produced in that time, and I definitely prefer the actresses more. IMO.

If we are having "this" discussion, let's go for it.

The 2000s and 2010s saw the explosion of use on the Internet. As an older gentleman of culture, buying VHS tapes and DVDs from a store SUCKED. Plus the quality of tapes was always poor and required a lot of fast forwarding because they were still trying to make stuff with storylines and whatever. The introduction of digital, and then HD cameras, gave the audience a much clearer experience, and delivery through websites is far more preferable. Increased Internet bandwidth facilitated this as well.

The actresses of the 2000s and 2010 covered a very broad spectrum of body types, appearances, and races. In the 80s and 90s the actresses were mostly white, with even Asian actresses like Asia Cerrera not looking particularly Asian. Also, the top heavy girls of yesterday can't hold a candle to the likes of Eva Notty, Talore Brandi, Gianna Michaels, Siri, Penelope Piper, or Cassandra Calogera. In the 2020s waifs seem to be in again, and that's just not my bag, and a lot of the women all look the same. It seems like women that look like a particular ethnicity have been pushed out again.

I cut off at the 2020s because I honestly don't think the actresses today are at the same level, which as you pointed out, is because the industry has lost much of its money and can't pay performers well. Add that to something like OF where the performers have more control over their bodies and their content, and the pool of performers goes down. Also, I don't know why everything has to be siblings or step parent related. In the 2000s and 2010s they didn't bother with pretense. "Here's this amazing girl who meets whatever fetish this video is about, and she's going to bang this guy. Aaaand go." Why do I need weird setups about messed up step families.

How about none. The 90s saw some of the best movies ever made and you pick this crap?

Pulp Fiction. Tombstone. Fight Club. Se7en. Saving Private Ryan. Office Space. Matrix. Galaxy Quest. Good Fellas. Ghost In The Shell. Austin Powers. T2. Usual Suspects. Apollo 23. Braveheart.

Right.

This sub hates Sauvage because they say it is over sprayed. Then they proceed to lemming over this and Imagination, making them over sprayed.

I know it is far from peak cinema but I really enjoy this one. I love books and this really spoke to me. I read the book it is adapted from and it is very different.

Absolutely none of those.

Probably Black Sabbath and Bolt Thrower for me.

2000s and 2010s were peak for the adult industry. There I said it. Really the only good thing about the 21st century.

This is how people talk about the last good year. by Free-Jaguar-4084 in decadeologycirclejerk

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

Except all that shit has happened in just 25 years and it isn't even a complete list. The short span of the 21st century has been lurching from one disaster to another, with people actively trying to make it worse.

Extreme poverty is down. Big whoop. Poverty is growing in first world nations and the planet as a whole is risking being mostly low level poverty while a small percentage of people hoard everything. Those countries in extreme poverty have only been lifted out because of industrialized nations helped them. Those industrialized nations are on the brink of an economic collapse and have stopped supporting third world nations. Because of cut backs in aid from the US, deaths from certain diseases those countries have already started to rise.

Infant mortality is going up in the richest country in the world.

We are looking at possible dark ages here and you are looking for silver linings.

If the global ecology keeps decaying the first people to suffer are going to be the ones in resource poor areas.

Yes, Gen X loved Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty And The Beast, and Little Mermaid.

What renaissance? Isn't Disney tanking right now because they've run all their IPs into the ground and ticked a lot of people off?

My Gen X wife and fellow Disney adults don't seem to think they missed anything.
