A couple of my favorites, in no particular order...
Dessa - Mineshaft II Dessa writes some of the most evocative, lyrically dense songs I've ever heard.
The Gits - Guilt Within Your Head The Gits were a Seattle-based punk rock band that were poised to blow up big in the early 90s. Tragically, lead singer Mia Zapata was murdered just 4 days after they signed their first major contract.
Titus Andronicus - (I'm) Screwed A long-running and critically acclaimed hard rock band that's avoided finding mainstream success. One of the best live acts I've seen.
I have been a fan since The Leftovers.
Ooo, my brother-in-law is in sales. What kind of commission do you make?
Shocked gasp!
A lot of lines have snuck into my regular vocabulary. Flibbertigibbet, I'm not arguing that with you, I'm soul sick and you're gonna see that, brain cloud, I have no response to that...
Joe vs the Volcano
It's the first movie I remember going to see (at a drive-in theater when I was 7). It was kind of a flop when it came out, but it's achieved a certain cult status for its surprisingly deep philosophy on fear, self-realization, and facing mortality.
In the last month, have gone to the theater for...
Twisters - exactly what you expect it to be.
Deadpool & Wolverine - aggressively boring, walked out in the final half hour. I don't fully blame the movie, I was in a bad mood to begin with...but it did nothing to charm me.
It Ends with Us - ridiculous movie with a strange take on domestic violence
Alien:Romulus - entertaining, if you can get past the "it's a dystopian corpo hellscape grinding these dirt poor miners into dust, but also they're all in their early 20s and sexy with perfect hair." I'm not a huge Alien lore purist, so I didn't have the same reaction that more hardcore fans probably had.
My wife wants to see Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice but has not seen original Beetlejuice, so we're planning to stream that tonight or tomorrow. I haven't seen it since it came out and barely remember it.
It's #14.
Also, I know these trash lists either include or exclude things specifically to be controversial and generate conversation, but seriously...The Lives of Others isn't on a list of 'best movies involving surveillance?' Really?
It was a great miniseries that did everything it needed to do and a second season is completely unnecessary.
