Funny, when I heard that harmonica intro, I thought, "Nice to hear Stevie Wonder playing harmonica again!" Because it's obviously Stevie Wonder!
The fact that it makes you think of a sitcom intro shows how influential (for worse, I guess), his harp style became. But I think it's fucking awesome.

I was initially shocked to see that, after a legitimately GOOD Star Wars film was released for the first time in over 30 years, there was so much grousing on here. Then I realized 90% of it was coming from one user — a jilted virginal fanboy who simply can't bear the thought that the countless hours spent consuming…

You're a whole.

No, that would have been FUCKING TERRIBLE.

If couldn't understand the appeal of this movie, you were likely not much fun to be around.

A Believer compilation? The Believer magazine? Explain, please.

David Denby is the worst film critic of his, or possibly any, generation.  His insights are so insipid, his prose so clumsy, and his opinions so baffling, one is left with the impression of an unfunny parody of a film critic.

Sick Boy said it best: "No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just shite."
I think everyone must be listening to a different album than I've been, because there are some SHITTY moments on this disc.  And the bulk of it is just ok.

The tendencies are nasty, not the dude.

Did you hear his interview on WTF?  He has some absurdly nasty tendencies for self-aggrandizement, does he not?
Also, is anyone out there actually a fan of this visually-indifferent style of filmmaking?

one guitarist out of billions, you're cool, and you're correct. I'm usually the first to defend overt dickishness on the part of people I admire, and Zappa was definitely undiplomatic. This guy just doesn't sound smart, cool, or interesting. And the clips sampled here just sound really shitty. Maybe they're better…

Clearly you have no idea what "killer musical chops" are.

"My wife is hot."
"Jim Jarmusch thinks my band is awesome."
"Janeane Garafolo thinks I'm cute."

Sean O'Neal…
You sound a bit cunty.

Watched it last night via pay per view and was deeeeeply affected by it. The music alone is fantastic, but the ideas and emotions is explores really got to me. Don't even watch the terrible trailer - it does a disservice to a really amazing piece of work.

The Vomiting
Is it real, authentic vomiting? Or is it a special effect. I have trouble with real-life vomiting, especially on such a disturbingly epic scale.

No way - Giamatti is as bad as everything else in that unbelievably stupid piece of shit. Worst fake stutter ever.

Seriously - this is the height of lazy rock criticism. Don't know anything about music? Ok, then let's jump on the lyrics. At least MENTION something about the music, the arrangements, anything. Michaelangelo Matos, you're a bad critic, a bad writer, and you suck. And I'm not a Pete Yorn fan in the least, I just…
