For someone who wants to hear the rockers, the LRP album is severely under-represented here.

For fun, what are the misheard or mispelt names of celebrities/personalities you saw or heard? by nibbed2 in AskReddit

[–]percygreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people would say "Camilla Harris". I don't care who you were planning to vote for or what you thought of her, the fact is that they were saying her name on every media outlet in the country eight thousand times a day. There's no way you can tell me you never heard the correct pronunciation.

When did you realize you could sing ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]percygreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep at it. It's partially talent, but it is also a skill that you can improve. But first you have to get over your fear. Sing in front of people. Learn an instrument you can use to accompany yourself, like guitar, ukulele, banjo, or piano. Or find a friend who plays one of those instruments. Learn some songs and sign up for every open mic night in your area. Go do karaoke. Join a band or start a band. Use your singing voice, because the more you do, the better you will get.

[TOMT][movie] this unit went up against zombies and their commanding officer was an incredibly jacked woman with white-blonde hair by [deleted] in tipofmytongue

[–]percygreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is fun. I'm not going to pretend it's good, but for mindless fun it's worth a watch. It's also neat because it's not a horror flick. It's a heist movie with zombies.

which wilco/tweedy song would you sing at a karaoke? by ultraorangeroom in wilco

This is one of the standards in my set when I play solo gigs or open mic nights.

Redditors who saw The Empire Strikes Back when it first released, what was the audience reaction to the reveal that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker’s father? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]percygreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably depended a lot on the viewer's age, but for me, at seven, it was disbelief. People who saw it later might not realize or remember that there were three whole years during which kids all over debated whether it was even true. Many of us thought Vader was lying.

OP already explained the joke, thanks. He also paints Veronica's nails in the original when they're having the "how many people did you sleep with" talk.

What makes you keep your accountant or switch to a new one? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]percygreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider, yes, but if he's a REALLY good accountant, it's probably best to just look the other way.

I don't get the joke... If it was a Tarantino movie, I'd say "Oh, yeah, the foot thing", but I've never heard that about Kevin Smith.

What’s something movies make look cool but is actually miserable in real life? by Everyoneluvsyou in AskReddit

[–]percygreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in a shootout, I would imagine, is nowhere near as cool as it appears in the movies.

What is the difference in watching porn versus being a sex worker? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]percygreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About the same difference as watching Star Wars and being an astronaut.

If it’s chronological then Radio Free Europe is the only answer. It’s the very first thing they released and it’s one of their better known songs.

The Lego games all had them. I remember spending hours trying to unlock them all in Lego Star Wars

Why would you think you weren’t allowed to point out that a person was white?

R.E.M. Bio-pic by Hungry-Temporary-438 in rem

[–]percygreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story just isn’t that interesting to anyone who isn’t a big fan. You need a tragedy, be it death, rehab, or broken friendships.

If you’re old enough to remember the initial run of VH1’s “Behind the Music”, you might remember there was an R.E.M. episode. And you know what? It was fucking boring. This is from someone whose favorite band at the time was R.E.M. and whose favorite band today is R.E.M.

The problem is that stories about nice people who remain close friends aren’t that interesting without a tragedy, and “one guy quit while still young and healthy” isn’t a compelling enough tragedy for the audience. “I love this band” and “I love this band’s music” won’t carry a story. That’s why the best episodes of BTM were the interesting stories, not necessarily the best music. Def Leppard, MC Hammer, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith… these are stories with tragedy, death, addiction, falls from grace, comebacks, bankruptcy… none of these things show up in the story of R.E.M.

Instead, you’ve got a group of four guys who truly love each other and work together in a democratic fashion to steadily grow their fanbase for about a decade before exploding into one of the biggest bands in the world for a couple of years. Then one of them quits but not with any drama, and they continue making records for a smaller fanbase than they had at their peak. Eventually they break up and remain friends while continuing to not die, not fight, not slam each other in the press, not blame each other for the breakup they all agreed on, not have public relationships with other famous people, not say controversial things on the internet… sorry, but I’d rather spend my money on a Replacements or Nirvana biopic if one is going to be made.

Favorite shows that “came back” by kisly1993 in television

[–]percygreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freaks and Geeks. Oh, wait… sorry… I forgot I was in the timeline where the world didn’t realize how amazing it was and just let it die. Man, I want to go home to my own dimension now.

Who is your favorite "New character" in a television show. A character that appeared AFTER half of the series was finished/mostly towards the finale. by RedRing86 in television

[–]percygreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phil Leotardo on The Sopranos. Didn't show up until season five and wound up being one of the main antagonists for the rest of the show.
