While I love (and own) just about every Scorsese and Tarantino soundtrack, the mother of all needle drops has got to be Wagner’s “Flight of the Valkyries” in Apocalypse Now.
An obvious choice but a good one: the “Freebird” guitar solo in the church fight in “The Kingsman.”
If we’re talking Stranger Things, gotta go with this one. Never stops being hilarious.
Stranger Things had some really effective needle drops in the first season, like the use of New Order’s “Elegia” for the funeral:
THWANNNNNNNNNGGGGggggggggggg
I get my first shot tomorrow! I am so excited.
Hi everyone. I survived the TX Snowpocolypse. In a week I move to Denver and after 2 more weeks in a hotel I will be living in a home for the first time in over 2 years. I also got vaccinated so I won’t die traveling there. I got a super cheap First Class ticket (cheaper than economy because of bag fees) and the hotel…
Getting my first COVID vaccine shot on Monday. I’ll probably pass out in front of a CVS full of people because that’s what I do when I get shots. Fun. But it’s nice to see the (hopefully) end of this thing on the horizon. That said, people are jumping the gun....I work at a University and they’re having in person…
Custard buns! They uploaded out of order and I don’t know how to change it. 🤔
I don’t know if this merits “worst”—or is even that bad—but it’s recent and therefore prominently stuck in my mind. My parents have very recently managed to get the vaccine—which is good—but they’re flying to visit (primarily) my sister and my nieces as well as me. (My sister and I ended up living in the same area…
My cousin and his bitch girlfriend had me forge my mom’s name on her business checks to steal over $20,000.
MamaDuck is finally getting serious about retiring. She turned 65 last year (her birthday is in July), and she’s been disgruntled about working for a while. And between savings, a 401K, my (step)Dad’s survivor’s benefits, and owning both her car and house outright she’s good financially. Mentally might be another…
It sounds like a lovely day. It seems incredibly early, but the rock irises I planted in the fall are blooming. They look so pretty.
I remember when my sister cut my face with a box cutter after coming out to my mom because she thought it was a way to “steal attention”.
Today is my mom’s birthday. She passed away many years ago but on this day I always try doing things she would have enjoyed. This year tiny human & I went out to have a little adventure around town. We picked out some pretty flowers at the local garden center. Bonus was their new coffee bar where we got a tasty treat…
Oh, I am filled with rage towards your sister!
The only theater I can ever remember anyone walking out of was a performance of Rent in Hartford in the late 90s, they left during the intermission, so I don’t think they even made it to the sex scene with the sheet. Why was everyone pressuring Roger to get together with Mimi anyway? Not dating a drug addict seems…
Unfortunately, Pissing Contest left us when Maria Sherman did. It was a delight and something we all looked forward to after a dreary week.
another rough week for me, I still can’t get through to unemployment about the lack of payment despite all records on my account showing that i have an available balance. I’m sick of these bug and glitches. Also waiting on a moratorium update but I’m bracing for the worst. Hopefully the next week turns around…
