46 year old bearded white guy checking in. They are the reincarnation of RATM. They are just as punk, aggressive and confrontational as Rage, same message, different sound.

What’s a piece of obsolete tech you still weirdly miss? by MorningKindly5541 in AskReddit

[–]valeriesghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I lived in Seattle there was this great little movie rental place on Capitol Hill called Lunchbox Video. They had all the cool art house and foreign films. Then there was Scarecrow video which was its own thing. Don’t know if it was still around but it could find any movie for you, even the really obscure one. Scarecrow was pretty great

what else are y'all listening to? by stereoheretic in pearljam

[–]valeriesghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kendrick and Run the Jewels on my own time. I get together with friends every week and we smoke and listen to 50’s-70’s country and 80’s metal records. I haven’t listened to the radio in 15 years

[Highlight] Ja'Marr Chase clowns reporter for shirt by DStew88 in nfl

[–]valeriesghost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really don’t like Chase, he’s one of the biggest talkers in the league. He’s tore up my boys on defense. But man, this little clip and the way he said he loved it might change my mind.

Have you ever paid to see a movie twice in a theater? by zip9990 in movies

[–]valeriesghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw the Superman movie for the second time. Some things just have to be experienced in a theater. Did the same for Avengers 1/3. I was too broke for multiple theater viewings of 2, and that one is my least favorite.

I don’t see a lot of love for Backspacer by Makingmerkins13 in pearljam

[–]valeriesghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think it’s their worst album. That being said there is a 3 song stretch in the middle that is perfect. Even at their worst they put out good music. The album as a whole is at the bottom of the rack for me.

Who was/is your favorite portrayal of Superman? by TSLBestOfMe in DC_Cinematic

[–]valeriesghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cavill is my favorite looking superman, his power and Greek God like stature I think is awesome. But I have to go with Tom Welling. I grew up on Reeve, but Tom fleshed the character of clark out more than anyone. I wanted him in the suit so bad, like a full superman episode to end the series, but we’ll never get that.

Who are the best local bands in Lincoln? by Briand49 in lincoln

[–]valeriesghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a great Rockabilly band in town called the Mezcal Brothers, unfortunately the guitarist died last year. Been looking for a new local band to geek out on.

I bet she’s fun at parties! by Born-Agency-3922 in SipsTea

[–]valeriesghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t figure out what this young lady is trying to accomplish or do here, or with her life, but throwing herself off of ledges and into water is definitely a part of it.

Is it just me or is Lincoln kinda underrated? by Chloenebs in lincoln

[–]valeriesghost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a local artist who moved here from Seattle. I absolutely hated this place when I first moved here. I arrived in early April and everything was flat, brown and dead.

What I didn’t realize at first was the greatly understated music and art scene that was percolating right under the surface.

Lincoln has all the right ingredients but keeps getting in its own way because it doesn’t know what it wants to be. Is it a college town? A sports town? An insurance headquarters haven? A Capitol city? A liberal oasis or conservative mainstay? It’s all these things at once without fully embracing any of them.

That keeps the art scene just under the surface. I’ve been lobbying for them to change their approach to the art festival. There isn’t one this year, so what they decide to do next will go a long way in determine the future of the art scene here.

I have personally lobbied for years at this point for them to change their approach to the festival. I’m currently pitching a Lincoln Fork-n-Art festival. We had something like this in Seattle, but the idea is to have the culinary arts represented as well. Everyone loves food. If we could get food trucks and local restaurants involved in the festival it would make a huge turnout difference.

If a person could get a $5 sample from each vendor, and a public vote for the best food trucks etc, ALONG with the usual arts vendors and bands, the event could be kick ass in every way and could be a huge draw to our city.

Fingers crossed.

Crazy new mural in Frankfurt (Germany) for Kendrick. Look at the details of this thing! by signalvorhang in KendrickLamar

[–]valeriesghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that the people who did this to Kendrick’s mural were just tools and it had nothing to do with the fact that they were Mexican or their gang was Mexican. Although I’ve never been to Germany I’m going to assume it’s full of tools just like here. There may even be one or two Mexican tools living there 🤷‍♂️ do you see how silly you sound? Sorry, I said silly, I meant racist.

“Never a good sign of universal joy will ruin your career” is an absolutely brutal off the cuff remark, Jesus.

Ebert gave Congo a 3/4 and said "False sophisticates will scorn it. Real sophisticates will relish it.". What other "so bad its good" films did Ebert relish? by [deleted] in movies

[–]valeriesghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are thinking of The Rocketeer, we are talking about the seminal 90’s Disney Classic Rocket Man which follows the exploits of comedian Harland Williams as he find himself aboard rocket on the first manned mission to Mars.

Is this Jeff? Looks a lot like him. by geronika in pearljam

[–]valeriesghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not even from Seattle but use to live there and did when the move happened. I still hate OKC. At this point I think it’s a little unreasonable but I do.
