Yeah, it's more like 30s jazz. Pretty good, too.

First clip: totally thought she was going to recycle for a second, and that the music meant she was sad her dad did not. Instead, the audience ends up sad for both.

"You may not understand what a trend is." 
A new sound or two, followed after a half year to several by a sudden group of similar sounding bands is in fact a trend, despite the fact that you and I would take longer to assimilate and digest (and therefore lessen) our influences before we got them out in the marketplace.…

The music in other people, rather…you have hit the nail on the head. I'm always mystified by musicians who have seemingly no interest in finding out what kind of music is in them but would rather churn out well-crafted simulacrums. Sorry to have offended you.

You know what i love? Music that conforms slavishly, unfailingly, to current trends.

He was just holding on til the MBV record came out—we're probably going to see a lot of musician deaths this week.

I might be misrembering, but I believe the director's commentary gives plenty of insight as to the choices made throughout, both on the part of the band (Byrne) and Demme…

Let's all take a moment of silence for the ability to use Kevin Shields as the go-to "long wait" punchline…whoah, wait, $16 for mp3 download?

This song has fascinated me since I was a kid and it first came out. Instead of just mentioning that the song is interesting, why not tell us how it came to be that way?

You know what really describes Modern Romance? Go-for-broke insanity.

I love this movie! I was lucky enough to catch a screening of it a few years ago, and I've watched the opening song montage online a ton. I even paid way too much for the LP so I could have the complete version of one of the audition songs (no, not one of the future stars or the stupid song about fucking). My favorite…

Yeah, it was good. I watched the whole run with my family. I don't know that it was competing with the Cosby Show; it was completely different, and not really a sitcom: https://www.youtube.com/wat…. It was more like Hooperman—low key, no laugh track, lightly comic drama.

I remember finding out a few years into it that this was my stodgy Southern grandparents' favorite show and being both very shocked and pleased.

I give it a good F every night.

Oh Boy does The Box deserve an F.

You came here to make a joke, but what happened?

Every time this band comes on at my job I cringe and run to the back to skip the song—the photo on the front of the site is just as assaultively grating as his voice; it's perfect somehow except there's no skip button for it.

I had the benefit of low expectations after Inglorious, and after sensing this was similar, but it failed even those. By the by, I DID rather like part two of Kill Bill; I thought it stretched out and settled into something a little more honest and effective. Still have my Jackie Brown DVD, anyway, that's the keeper…

I took the scene to mean he was mentally slow.
