I disagree that the first record is not anthemic hoo-hah, it certainly is. Tracks are either that or a sort of cringey combination of Radiohead+Oasis smashed together.

That eight-grade-love-note poetry is why dumb girls who never emotionally or mentally aged past 8th grade still love DMB into their 30s and 40s.

I preferred Meantime.

Agreed. I would argue The Life Pursuit is actually their finest album. Incredibly beautiful and accomplished songwriting, matched with varied and imaginative arrangements that finally have Oomph to them.

Write About Love has several of the best songs ever written, but the boring production and auto-tune vocals are bad choices.

Totally agreed re Yoshimi. I think the drugs finally just fucked their heads completely. I like how it sounds but it makes me gag as a whole. The previous album was just flat out genius. though (TSB)

I thought for sure 'Monster' would be on this list, but I didn't know an absolute moron was being polled.

True facts.

He seems to be a talented perfectionist and perfectionists inevitably end up making boring music later on.

Write About Love is the first B&S album to have obvious auto-tuning of vocals in it, which really took me out of it. However, it has several absolutely beautiful songs. It's not as good as their other albums but very few albums of anyone's fit that bill.

Yeah, i don't get the reference.. this episode has nearly 1700 comments.

Yes, I read them all. Couldn't help myself. I don't want to even characterize them except to say that things happen.

Eh, totally disagree here:

Saturday Night Fever is a stunningly good film, IMO. There's nothing cheesy about it, it's right out of the gritty NYC 70s film oeuvre. Even the disco scenes are only cheesy in the context of later parodies and references etc

I don't like much of Fat Bastard but the part when he talks about getting all emotional from the turtlehead, or how it smells like when you're in the hallway of an apartment building and smell what everyone around you is cooking all at once, were great images.

Archer is the textbook definition of 'trying too hard'

What makes the 3-point turn work is Myers utter lack of response or anger to how long it's taking, he just keeps on doing it intensely, like he's practiced at it.

BTTF 3 is objectively terrible.

I feel like Robot Chicken has retroactively made people like Seth Green in these films more. I remember finding him super annoying at the time. He also introduced a screening of Barton Fink in LA that I went to, and damn, if someone is introducing my favorite film of all time and has interesting things to say about…

Didn't Duran Duran do one of the 80s Dalton Bond songs? Or did I dream that? It's one of those things I'll never quite get myself to search youtube for because I'm afraid of what I'll find.
