I don’t know. Octopussy and For Your Eyes Only hold up - as proof of the theory of inertia.

Becker embodied cynical cool in the ‘70s. But what I admired most was his ego-less attitude toward the songs. If he could contribute guitar or bass, great. But he was happy to defer to a more accomplished musician, or one whose ideas brought more out of the song. That’s a big reason why Steely Dan’s classic albums are…

I blame Kinja. And, of course, Obama.

I’m surprised that wasn’t mentioned. It was a key role and Anderson was great in it. One of the most amoral, corrupt kiss-ass characters in cinema.

The only way that works is if Today starts advertising catheters, Life Alert and Consumer Cellular.

Did Coleman’s character successfully calculate how many prawns constituted a “Galaxy”?

To me he’ll always be the Weasley who chose home brewing over wizardry.

Did it beat out “Illegal Alien” by Phil Collins? Pop politics were, uh, interesting during the Reagan era.

The Bowie-Iggy Berlin albums (Low, Idiot, Heroes, Lust for Life). These still thrill not because of the history behind them (drugs and madness leading to an unexpected move from LA to Berlin) but because they’re the work of two great artists consciously risking career suicide to rebuild their art and set new standards…

I tend to prefer the post-Syd, pre-DSOTM era. The music was much more balanced between Gilmour, Wright and Waters and much stronger for it. Even Mason’s drumming was more adventurous.

Guess he was really cruisin’ for a bruisin’.
