I'd remembered the Snow Patrol one but not the Oasis one. Guarantee neither of those would score over a 5 if they came out today.

This just made me remember the last scene of that movie and get sad.

It was pretty great in the opening to The Social Network, too. God bless you, Fincher.

Yes to "The Air Near My Fingers." That one's always been a favorite.

Not that the Stripes were really known for guitar solos, but that guitar solo in Black Math, man.

It's my favorite of theirs, but I do agree it's more padded with filler than most of their other records. It just also has all my favorites on it.

Ha, well I know nothing about music if that helps. It was just the bare-bones nature of that riff dominating the song that gave it that feel at first. It wore off in a few listens. I'd now say it's one of the top three or four songs on that album for me.

That was in the days when Pitchfork was super insufferable (as opposed to just the sort of dependable alt music monolith it is now), and would give ANY established indie artist who'd crossed over to the mainstream something around a 6 or 7, which was essentially a pan on their ridiculous points scale.

I would never say I hated Elephant, but it did seem like a slight disappointment after the masterful White Blood Cells at the time. For a while, I ranked it 4th in the Stripes discography (after WBC, De Stijl, and Icky Thump). Only in the last couple of years have I really come around to its greatness.

I've changed my mind before, I just completely disagree with you here. Not trying to antagonize.

I don't see any similarities other than "they used floaty text," something Moffat has only used on SHERLOCK.

This comparison makes far more sense to me. I would also add "serious issues with the way they write women" to the Sorkin/Moffat comparison list.

That's a super weird comparison to make. Especially since one is a writer and the other a director. And Moffat has written for many, many shows, almost none of which have visual gimmicks. And Scott's stories (which he didn't write) were mostly incredibly simple/dumb, whereas Moffat's are often overly…

I was hoping it was inspired by The Long Blondes song. But I'm pretty sure all three of those get their inspiration from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

Ha, yeah I was really glad I got to see it so early. I was in Germany over New Years and saw it had just opened there. Managed to grab the last tickets to a sold out show the night before I flew home. Well worth it!

It won't disappoint. My favorite Jarmusch since, I dunno, MYSTERY TRAIN? Maybe ever?

I didn't truly get the Hiddleston thing till I saw ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE. I get it now.

Haven't listened to that ep yet, but those bullet points boggle the mind, especially number one. This is easily the best year for movies in ages. Then again, maybe not to someone who hasn't heard of The Act of Killing.

It wasn't great, but it was far from unlistenable. I got used to it after a couple of minutes.

Didn't work for me. I love the other obnoxious guest episodes, and I even liked the Kreischer "black Ocean's 11" meltdown a few weeks back, but this just never clicked. A few funny riffs, a lot of pain.
