no chaplin???

i watch it - it's fantastic

I'm older (45) and know even less

i get why it had to be long to show the decline of the family and how each generation was different, and devolving in certain respects etc. but still. wow

Agree about Buddenbrooks. Can't help but feel it is overrated. Maybe Mann in general

I used to think that. but now I don't know. i think people with money or power do what they want when they want and always have. the war in vietnam didn't end because of the hippies. the koch brothers could careless about protest art….

stupid. he won. get over it. i don't think art changes these kinds of things.

it just builds and builds in such an existential way

perfectly said

This one is probably a little lame but The Longest Time - Billy Joel - I was in 7th grade and in love with a girl and the song just fit how I felt perfectly. The singing, the lyrics. I would walk around with my boombox waiting for it to come on the radio so I could record it….

great choices. God Only Knows. Actually all of Pet Sounds. What a strange subtle album unlike all the biggies of that year (VU, Revolver, Blonde on Blonde) but just as good and so so sad… Billie Jean still floors me

Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys: That breathless cold open by Carl, the smashcut edits that make no sense until Brian made them make sense, the amazing vocals by the other boys… it's an amazing track…

I just don't like her or him - yes Claire Danes or Jared leto

I do too - I think it's a little overrated

also I love jon stewart

so true - i'm sorry but the left and the right are NOT equally bad (you hear that jon stewart) - this is one thing Bill Maher gets right

This stuff is so surreal it;s hard to believe its happening. and it seems like it;s going to be terrible - for Americans, for the world…. I'm not an alarmist by nature but wow I am worried….

I agree

I would like to see him or DeLillo get it or internationally speaking Kundera

I agree. i think he really does what interests him or where his muse takes him. He once did the Magical Mystery Tour (the Beatles tour) in Liverpool… I mean that is badass…
