I just said they sound nothing like their peers, or at least the peers you mentioned in reference to them. When will you admit you actually know nothing about this band lol

I wouldn't be offended if I had the vaguest idea that you actually know what you're talking about. But I can tell you're one of those guys that just repeats things he hears from other people like its gospel. Hah the Lawrence Arms do not sound like skate punk. I'm not sure you even know what skate punk is or sounds

"Like all modern punk rock, they're just an amalgamation of so many better bands that came before them."

Hah I figured you'd have some sort of generic, invalid answer. You're attempting (I think) to lump the Lawrence Arms sound to that of Nofx, Lagwagon, No Use for a Name etc. Basically 90's skate punk. This is the sort of statement that indicates the only exposure you've had to their work is on some random Asian Man or

Lol please explain to me the bands that the Lawrence Arms 'amalgamated' to form their sound, since you're such a connoisseur of their work (the fact that they've consistently changed their sound from album to album should make that difficult). If successful, please proceed to explain to me why 'amalgamation' is a bad

You had to be there.

The Broadways were a terrific band

You've gotta be kidding me. You guys need to watch more movies.

I just don't think Happiness is as edgy or uncomfortable an experience as people make it out to be because it's so tongue in cheek. I'm sorry my opinion angers you, you're still probably a pretty cool guy in your group of friends for even knowing who Todd Solondz is. I'm sure we would get along fine in real life. I'm

I'm thinking logically. I could easily finagle a six figure book deal out of the experience. "Tales from the Bunker!!: (Insert lurid, shocking caption)" as written by a time traveler from the year 2014 who accidentally stumbled into a wormhole through a hypothetical internet thread, was liberated by the Russians and

Downfall

Hey, it was the 70's

Without a doubt the Boogie Nights pool party

Nah, Happiness is definitely a comedy and laughing at it doesn't even qualify you as edgy or unique. Laughing at Michael on the other hand might damn you for eternity

Always follow the thread 100% all the way back up. He was saying McConaughey is more famous than Ejiofor

Meh. I wouldn't necessarily call his performance in DBC 'worse' than his performances in The Lincoln Lawyer, The Paperboy, Bernie, or Mud.

Yeah, definitely a comeback creatively, from the period I like to refer to as the one where Mcconaughey was leaning with his back smiling against someone or something in every single movie poster.

hah what is this nonsense vaughn doesn't have those kind of chops. is this a poor attempt at a 'joke' or a 'satire' you kids from the av club are so notorious for?

"Well, he's in nearly every scene, so that doesn't mean much."

There was similar chatter in 1992 for Robin Williams in Aladdin and in 2001 for Eddie Murphy in Shrek, would they be the first year of the best supporting actor for a voice. I didn't know the rules disallowed it.
