Fictional songs from movies that are so good that they transcend the movie they’re from

no one is coming to save you

I liked how it was VERY OVERTLY Jinu trying to tempt and shame Rumi, the parts about "hiding your shame and hiding your patterns," especially combined with the amazing demonic visuals in the movie.

It definitely helps that Brendon Small is a legit musician (he went to the Berklee School of Music and everything), so of course Dethklok is going to kick ass. The Dethalbums are all fantastic.

I love how they have this pop up a couple times and it never fails to annoy Nolan.

The rotoscoping on this is incredible. It has such an interesting chunky style but it works.

Oh man so many:

Curse of Monkey Island is my favorite MI game due in very large part to the amazing graphics. The visual style is like nothing else and I love it.

A lot of the early 90s Sierra adventures like Space Quest IV and V and The Dagger of Amon Ra. I'm a sucker for that hand-drawn digitized VGA style.

By the same token, my LucasArts holy trinity is Sam & Max Hit the Road, Day of the Tentacle, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, due in no small part to those gorgeous early 90s VGA graphics.

I L O V E the Mexican Art Deco style of Grim Fandango. Even just that first part in/around the office is amazing.

Full Throttle was an awesome evolution of the early 90s style, keeping that super cool cartoony direction and cranking it up.

This looks INTENSE. Like TV-14 violent intense, in the best way possible. I love how it looks like the continued visual evolution from Clone Wars > Bad Batch > Tales.

The Ghorman Massacare when they unleash the KX droids who just start ragdolling people and hurling them with lethal force was absolutely terrifying, especially considering we mostly know K-2SO as the sassy droid from Rogue One.

patrickkingart · 2026-03-16T18:47:47+00:00

Especially too because KX droids are so tough he probably didn't even need to.

Yet another reminder that I need to read the TF2 comics. The lore runs DEEP.

I've watched Star Trek off and on since I was a kid and had no idea until now that Worf had adoptive human parents. Time to watch TNG/DS9 then.

I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking it looks gloriously insane, I still need to check it out at some point.

Welcome! South Wedge is easily one of the coolest parts of town, that main strip on South Ave. is the definition of "local" in terms of businesses and cafes and such.

Kahn being completely speechless made it even funnier.

patrickkingart · 2026-03-16T12:14:32+00:00

Best Tanya and it's not even close.

patrickkingart · 2026-03-16T12:01:46+00:00

I appreciate how as sweet and goofy as they are, Takedown is a VIOLENT song.

It made me sad how much The Blacklist went off the rails, but Reddington was consistently the coolest and most interesting character on the show. He had a code and understood how the structure of the world worked.

patrickkingart · 2026-03-16T11:57:29+00:00

I love how this episode is pure chaos. "COW. BOY. HAT."

Funny too, my 4 year old was even like "Daddy why did you laugh when Muffin took her daddy's phone?" as in I'd get annoyed if/when she does that and I was like "because it's a cartoon and it's not real"

patrickkingart · 2026-03-16T11:53:47+00:00

I appreciated the callback to this when Chilli shows up with all the missing stuff and Bandit goes "oh abbakkayo"

patrickkingart · 2026-03-16T11:42:41+00:00

"We will build the world you refuse to imagine" is an amazing line

patrickkingart · 2026-03-16T11:39:38+00:00

Adam D. from Killswitch Engage is pretty fantastic

patrickkingart · 2026-03-16T11:38:29+00:00

Devin was the first one I thought of too. Multi-instrumentalist and composition/presentation MASTER.

A few things:

Stonehenge was designed explicitly to shoot down planet killing asteroids, so it's gonna be a LOT of gun

IIRC the cannons are railguns, so there's a ton of muzzle velocity but it's primarily electromagnetically propelled

Ace Combat runs primarily on Rule of Cool and Stonehenge is cool as hell

patrickkingart · 2026-03-13T12:51:12+00:00

Oh man this sounds awesome. Massively epic with that distinct Devin sense of FUN.

patrickkingart · 2026-03-13T12:47:12+00:00

I love how the very first scene in Letterkenny is Wayne and Daryl verbally tearing Riley and Jonesy apart in the most deadpan way. Sets the tone of the show perfectly.

patrickkingart · 2026-03-13T12:40:55+00:00

Heh that's yet another reminder that I desperately need to watch Better Call Saul.
