Wow, that impressive diligence, @pico79:disqus I wish I had readers like you!
I didn't mean "Babette's feast" to be shallow in particular, but most of the period films of the time are kinda feelgood stories and thus essentially disposable. Fair enough, that's something you could say about most movies out there. I…

@avclub-b750f74544cb00c138079607276995e9:disqus You Sir are very right.

It don't matter. It ain't no Krull the conqueror.

I imagine there is a gentlemen's agreement not to use the sites to make a comparison, but they've been showing an stellar level over there. That said, I do think a review is biased when the critic seems to be too annoyed by the material to take it seriously and engage with it in fair terms. I don't get the impression…

It's not as bad as the review would have you think, but it is very of its time. By that I mean that it has the efficient-yet-shallow resonance most early nineties period pieces have.

@avclub-83cbc5e9ad9b537435036c2cdc4b0074:disqus We also had early-years Chayanne, so you can't complain about some Miami Sound Machine.

Absolutely, 90s punk did itself as early as 1995.

Oddly enough, Secada was so stupidly popular in South America back then that, despite my punk rock upbringing, I cannot separate childhood memories from his shitty songs blasting from a radio somewhere

Titus Andronicus' "The Battle of Hampton Roads", not exactly about a ship (perhaps 75% of one verse is about the sinking of The Monitor), but an awesome song.

So you can rape twice to it?

I thought puberty was supposed to do that?

Yup, this video marked the moment where alt rock became visibly depleted as an aesthetic discourse. Not that it ever had much content to begin with, but that's that.

Perhaps one of the best putdowns ever comes from a review of that album: "This is what living in France does to you".

Like Seth Putnam used to say…. My favorite black metal band.

Do not forget to always hide who you really are, regardless how costly it is for you or your loved ones.

@avclub-e8e1ea96f3b1bf8e7400065325e188c8:disqus yup, it's the DOS. I realized after I posted it that my joke had been blundered.
Hey, @avclub-2ac233bc53744593f485e5752aaa692a:disqus has the explanation for the US not wanting Snowden to go to Bolivia. If that pizzacone technology reaches the States, we're doomed.

@avclub-ba51e6158bcaf80fd0d834950251e693:disqus True.

@avclub-89cc6ec8cb4097b886d6174f13aa2814:disqus , don't worry. When I hear "The Millennium" I still think about the Dark Ages.

@avclub-ba51e6158bcaf80fd0d834950251e693:disqus Why does it strike me as odd that Brokaw was calling his own generation "The Greatest Generation"? I mean, he did have a point, but I guess this kind of praise is what one should let historians at least two generations removed, do.It's fair to say the generation that…

It's gotta be Bolivia. If the DOD if willing to have the Bolivian equivalent of Air Force One stranded over Europe just to avoid one American from reaching Bolivian soil… it must be hell of a place.
