Yeah I’m not even familiar with their show but am a devoted fan of On Cinema and I would guess that it probably also fits the definition.

I’m probably about 36% off, but I would guess that it translates to “the increased popularity of comedy that is designed to be awkward, abstract and/or uncomfortable to the point where it doesn’t resemble previously recognized and/or celebrated forms of humor and is therefore perceived as being anti-.......something”.

Agreed, and I wouldn’t really bother to weigh in except for him feeling oh so free to use the word “fa**ot” in 2018. Maybe the album is decent. Maybe it’s even good, though I would bet just about anything against it.

I’m not very familiar with Bon Iver, but I have heard his song “Heavenly Father” many times. I have not heard Eminem’s latest tantrum, but I remain confident that nothing on it is within a million miles of “Heavenly Father”.

As some of the worst music ever made will show, being “sincere” and also being “good” or even “listenable” are often a billion miles apart.

I have It’ll End In Tears on vinyl. I think I got it for about $1 at a swap meet. It’s in really good shape, I was lucky!

That last line is perfect.

Look, I know about his history of lunacy, incomprehensible speech and horrific treatment of others. I know about the crazed look in his eyes, the drugs and the weird hair. I know that, at a very interesting time in our culture, he somehow attracted a group of unquestioning followers and used it to wreak havoc on the…

bahahahahahahahah

How do we know how Mindhunters will present him?

This was my first thought.

Why is lightning striking automatically a GOOD sign? Doesn’t it seem like an easier joke would be “God attempts to stop stupid movie”?

Thanks for a very thoughtful analysis!

Yeah I may be going to the Videodrome + eXistenZ night, that would be rad!

For a long time I ranked that as my favorite of his, but now I think Videodrome has to claim the top spot.

Yeah, I was very disappointed in that one on first look, tried to give it another shot last week and yup, still sucked.

He’s certainly in my upper echelon all-time, no lower than third. Very consistent, too.

That’s pretty much my position too; I almost rewatched it recently but skipped it. It just feels like the kind of film that would reveal itself more clearly on a second look.

I have not.

That’s funny, because my experience with it was also out of the ordinary, but in the reverse way - I am pretty choosy about what I see in theaters, and to this day it’s the only thing I’ve ever seen theatrically that I didn’t know existed until that day. I had a friend who said “let’s go see this movie” and I shrugged…
