Holy moly. I got to get in gear and watch Pearl.

concurred.
you know what was surprisingly delightful? that Muppet series about dr. teeth and the electric mayhem.
The early-blockbuster era is interesting because while the studios were moving away from the New Hollywood type of risk taking, they still couldn’t really tell what was going to catch people’s attention. Star Wars and Raiders and E.T. had all been original screenplays so it wasn’t all about branding or IP, so hey,…
Michael Paré is also the titular Eddie in Eddie and the Cruisers. So, in the 1980's, if you wanted to make an old-time Rock ‘n Roll themed movie that was going to be largely ignored by audiences in theaters but later gain a respectable cult following on cable TV and home video, Paré was your guy.
Bill Paxton also got an early role in this as a comic-relief bartender. I unironically love this movie. Much like Hill’s earlier film The Warriors, it’s set in a world that looks superficially like the real world, but clearly had a different history than our own, and has a culture that is a mixture of elements from…
basically spend the whole time fighting over Lane.
She is really great on Evil. Like many ambiguous things on that show, I’m not sure how despicable her character actually is. But Lahti makes you root for her.
We are truly blessed that Hugh Grant has reached “Fuck it, I don’t give a fuck” stage of his career.
Honor Among Thieves was really just too fun. It’s a shame it didn’t do the numbers it needed too.
One of the reasons I love The Cure so much is their wildly different styles. Post-punk, Goth, Synth, Pop, hell they have a mariachi song in their catalog.
All this Crow coverage is making me feel so fucking old
Starred for it being one of their best and certainly a song I would consider telling someone to listen to if I had to introduce the band with one song. That said, their catalogue does veer into something that sounds more like traditional pop fairly often - Friday I’m In Love, In Between Days, etc. And a fair number of…
I not only listened to this one a lot, but also the score scoundtrack from Graeme Revell (I really liked scores as a kid). The soundtrack and score for The Crow: City of Angels are great too, and probably the only things that film has going for it (other than finally casting Iggy Pop, which they hoped to do for the…
Just listened to the whole album again, this weekend. Shit holds up.
“Burn” is an incredible song, and it becomes damn near transcendent in the context of the movie. Maybe even the best Cure song?
The Batman Forever soundtrack is excellent as well, and much better than the source material.
This album has never left my rotation, it’s been a constant listen since the 90s
Not only do I still listen to the soundtrack but the score as well. It has ‘Can’t Rain All The Time’ and the guitar solo Eric plays on the rooftop before going to Top’s club.
I saw the twitter dunking and it was mostly being made by people who weren’t even alive in ‘04 when Super Size Me came out. Even at it’s release ‘Oh wow guy eats nothing but Mcdonald’s and gets fat stop the presses’ was a wide criticism of the films concept. But at the time it was pretty hard to know what was being…
My 3 teens would be competing to see who could say it fastest!
