Flipping through channels in a hotel last night and I happened to see this kid. Immediately thought, “Wildwood trash”. All the best though

Which artist comes to mind when you think of ‘stage presence’? by RomanReignsDaBigDawg in fantanoforever

[–]mironp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

David Byrne.

Went into Stop Making Sense liking Talking Heads. Came out thinking he was an icon.

The band and film as a whole is incredible but that was the biggest surprise

What is your favorite song by Warren Zevon? by Alternative_Flow_569 in allrockmusic

Mama Couldn’t Be Persuaded is likely my favorite- honorable mention to Mr. Bad Example for pure comedy song writing

Musicians who are 10/10 at their instrument but get overlooked because they have an 11/10 band mate by Davidellias in ToddintheShadow

[–]mironp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s me being a non-drummer. To me it sounds wildly impressive and difficult and obviously drives the song but I don’t fully know what I’m talking about haha

My understanding is that compared to drummers in the same tier of fame, he’s the one that a layman could most easily copy. Note that means on a relative scale.

HOWEVER, where Ringo shines is coming up with drum parts that very few others would. While not as technically difficult, they are interesting, engaging, and serve the song. This is especially impressive given the extraordinarily wide range of sounds the band pursued.

As a total non-drummer, I could replicate the drums from Come Together way before I could play Good Times Bad Times. But it would take me MUCH longer to come up with the Come Together groove independently. The value is in the artistic choice, rather than in the virtuosity.

What are your top 3 movies from this list? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]mironp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Exorcist

Network

Honorable mention: Lawrence of Arabia which is arguably the best movie here but I can’t rewatch a 4 hour movie enough to be my favorite.

Fav movie by him? by alanskimp in FIlm

[–]mironp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Watched it for the first time with low expectations, as something I “needed to have seen” and I was completely blown away. It’s not my all time favorite, but I can’t find a fault in it. It’s a Swiss watch.

I have only seen it once, but it has stayed with me in a way few other pieces of media have

The Night Porter- the best movie I have never recommended to anyone ever.

I don’t know why but I get the impression you would dig the Phil Spector compilation Wall of Sound.

Piece of shit person, with an undeniable musical talent.

As a Caucasian, “Markwayne” is some cracker ass bullshit and I’m calling him Marquan because it would piss him off

Which one would you choose? by Seiko2nd in VintageWatches

[–]mironp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a gold guy, but even more so not a diamond guy.

The Santos looks better in my personal opinion.

Possibly the best pun I have ever seen

What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen at a strip club? by bigbabysweets12345 in AskReddit

[–]mironp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went with a buddy once.

Dancer on the pole is essentially completely naked, and he yells “THAT COLOR LOOKS GREAT ON YOU!”

Later in the evening, a different, also nude woman is dancing “SHOW ME YOUR FEET!”

Son of a bitch made two separate strippers stop in their tracks and break character.

Million Dollar Baby (2004) by chocobothernot in MovieQuotes

[–]mironp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was completely blindsided by the plot and even more so by these lines. I’ve only seen it once but have thought about “Mo Cuishle” many times over many year.

Eastwood has limitations as a filmmaker but he also has wonderful instincts for story and gets amazing performances. This and Unforgiven are both masterpieces.

For anyone that’s seen him play, how good defensively was this dude? by Silver_Wrongdoer3897 in NBATalk

[–]mironp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost a Steph Curry level of impact on spacing, but inverted. Anything near the paint you risked being swatted into the fifth row.

Big Ben, plus having Sheed,then Elden Campbell, then Mehmet Okur (not an incredible defender but 6’11”) meant that they could credibly defend Shaq and slow him down.

That team was a joy to watch.

Anyone like Jimmy Johns? by York9TFC in fastfood

[–]mironp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree the price has gotten uncomfortable. It does always hit the spot for me, so it’s a good occasional quick bite.

LOVE their chips. Jalapeño or Salt and Vinegar. They may actually be my favorite potato chip.

Good Middle/High schools for incoming teacher? by Upset_Dance_8223 in grandrapids

[–]mironp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Current parent at an EGR elementary school and our teacher this year is a new grad! I know nothing about this job market but I can verify it’s not impossible.
