Jesus I haven't though about this soundtrack since it came out. I love this movie. It's like it was made for my preadult 19 year-old self, but I'm pretty sure I'd just be annoyed by it now. But "Burn" still holds up.

Point of No Return was a pretty terrible remake of La Femme Nikita, but it did introduce me to Nina Simone.

I second the love for mentioning the movie Smoke.

This is probably a dorky thing to say, and I don't even care: I look forward to this article every year. I feel like I keep up with new releases, but I always find new stuff from these comments.

I am also reminded of Pi!

I took my 11 year-old girl child to see Heart and Joan Jett a few months ago. She could acknowledge Heart's importance in rock history. She wants to be Joan Jett now.

I showed Mad Mas this weekend and turnout was terrible, which I find surprising, even given how the nationwide box office shook out. MM is just too good to not get people's attention.

Hey, I'm not THAT crazy.

You mean like Jon Stewart did all those years?

It DID! There aren't many movies I want to watch again, and I can't wait to see Whiplash again. (Also, Lucy, but that's because I'm a geek.)

I like the minor chords. This is…. not terrible?

By Sunday night I will have shown all but one of the Best Picture nominess. (Why didn't I show Grand Budapest Hotel?!? What was I thinking?) And Boyhood is by far one of the best movies I've seen in years, much less just this year. Theory of Everything was better than this article might lead you to believe and better…

I think about this movie sometimes. Probably more than I think about most movies. I think about the scene where she has the stroke, because now that I'm no longer 26 that scares the shit out of me. But mostly I think about when they return from the concert, and he tells her that she looked really pretty tonight. I…

You said House of Pies. I'm instantly nostalgic for Houston…

Yes. Phantogram. "Fall in Love" has been in rotation a lot this fall/winter for me.

Thank you. That is certainly the most fucked up thing I have seen in a while.

How had I never heard of Tobacco?!? Thank you!!

A quick check reveals that as of the time I checked, Avicii's "Wake Me Up" had been played almost 299,000,000 times. (It was the first mega-popular song I thought of.) Even at $0.005 per play, that's almost $1.5 million just from Spotify. I can't find it in my heart to feel bad for someone about that.

As someone who runs an independent theatre and truly believes in movies as art and a communal storytelling experience and blah blah humanities idealism… everything about this conversation depresses me. First, fuck you Netflix for falling in line with this notion of movies as just a product, something to ship to…
