I think it would be much more interesting to use Springsteen's songs (and the characters that inhabit them) as the jumping-off point for a musical about working-class America.

Kill Bill definitely gets the style points, but for my money, Ong Bak is one of the greatest, bone-crunchin'est martial arts movies ever made. A lot of kung fu movies emphasize the "swish'n'swop" sound effects of the fights — Ong Bak's sound effects detail just how badly muay thai moves will f*** you up.
Eric Clapton is technically proficient but, for my money, lacks any kind of soul in his guitar playing. I do love me some Stevie Ray, but I'll agree that he had a tendency to cram a few too many notes in at times. Hendrix, though, was a singular talent that did things on a guitar I've never heard anyone else even…
Thanks, Skip Bayless. #HotTakeAlert

There's even less of a challenge there. Both of those records tower over Pet Sounds IMO.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no.
I feel about Pet Sounds the way Gwen Inhat feels about Sgt. Pepper. I won't call it lame, but it just does nothing for me. Pet Sounds is like 13 versions of the same song done at slightly varying tempos.
Well, okay except YOUR TEAM ACTUALLY PACKED THEIR SHIT AND LEFT TOWN. The Browns' record against Pittsburgh since 2000 is 35-5. How long do they have to get the hell beat out of them before it's not a rivalry anymore?
A lot of things from the 80s are culturally insensitive and sexist 30 years on. The "weird foreign foods for dinner" scene is a little cringeworthy, but the Thuggees are an exaggerated take on the actual Indian cult, using the fictional conceit that when India's colonial rulers tried to wipe the Thuggee out in the…
Nope. That rivalry moved to Baltimore. The Browns aren't even the Browns now.
I concur. The First Amendment should send Luke a thank-you card, but let's not pretend the guys who wrote "Face Down A** Up" are heroes. I'd much rather delve into PE's use of politics in hip-hop, or the way Wu-Tang laid out a business plan that was revolutionary at the time for a rap group.
I hope to someday take part in a desperate 2 a.m. board meeting that somehow ends up generating more than $1 billion.
No one should have to apologize for Temple of Doom. I don't understand why it gets such a bad rap.
Dammit — my son is finally old enough to go to the movies, and it has to be just in time for the crappiest entry in the Cars franchise? Boo.
True dat — this is a rivalry from a Cleveland Browns-Pittsburgh Steelers perspective, in the sense that DC may think there's a rivalry. There isn't.
This is basically a giant post that can be summed in one sentence: "Return of the Mack" is a great guilty-pleasure joint. Right?
I cannot wait until my 4-year-old son is old enough to properly appreciate this fantastic film. This, Dark Crystal and Muppets Take Manhattan (don't judge me) cemented Jim Henson as one of my most beloved and influential creative inspirations.
Watching videos of black people reacting to this trailer is truly an uplifting experience. Seeing someone get little-kid-level hyped about seeing a superhero that looks like them is really cool. I didn't watch any Luke Cage reaction videos, but both are a testament to Marvel and its commitment to creating a cinematic…
I'm pretty curious what the reaction to the film will be from people who are not familiar with the source material. I wonder if the reaction to It's true nature will be shock/surprise/cosmic horror or an incredulous chuckle.
