Good stuff.

I've heard of them, but never actually heard them before. Thanks for the links.

MeFi post: Life before ProTools
Actually, Cetera's the grinning bassist; he was an original member of the band and the lead vocalist on several of their early hits.

IMHO they lost their way following Terry Kath's suicide in 1978.

MeFi post: Don't condescend me, man. I'll fucking kill you.
Late to the convo as well, but I'd always understood that QT distanced himself from "Natural Born Killers", not "True Romance".

If that's true, I certainly wouldn't blame him; NBK was interesting to look at, but all over the map tonally, in my opinion.

MeFi post: The Fountain commentary
Didn't love it, but really enjoyed it.

A perfect film? Absolutely not.

A beautiful, flawed film? Absolutely.

As for Jackman, it's acting from him like we've (or at least I've) not seen before.

Worst movie ever? You need to get out to the multiplex a bit more often, friend.

MeFi post: Trouser Snake On A Stage
Yeah, I'm with nickysky here.

The Doors' music overall doesn't have the power for me that it did for the 13 year-old I was in 1967, but some of their music is timeless.

And, of course, some of their music was just tacky.

Compared to a lot of what was popular in the late 60s, though, I can still listen to with a straight face, and not just for nostalgia value.
