  1. Never played Dead Cells. Rogue-likes/lites aren't really my thing. The presentation is very cool though.
  2. OH GOD I'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT HIM KEEP BOUZEREAU AWAY FROM THIS PROJECT
  3. 1971 was such an insane year for Rod Stewart. He has three absolutely amazing classic rock records with the two Faces records and Every Picture Tells a Story. He is forgiven for decades of cringe based on just this one year alone (although my favorite of his solo albums doesn't come until '72)
  4. 1971 1. David Bowie - Hunky Dory 2. Led Zeppelin - IV 3. Badfinger - Straight Up 4. The Who - Who's Next 5. Yes - Fragile 6. Paul McCartney - Ram 7. Faces - Long Player / A Nod Is as Good as a Wink... to a Blind Horse 8. The Beach Boys - Surf's Up 9. The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers 10. The Kinks - Muswell Hillbillies 11. John Lennon - Imagine 12. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Tarkus 13. George Harrison - All Things Must Pass 14. Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story 15. Alice Cooper - Love It to Death / Killer 16. Buddy Miles - Joe Tex 17. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality 18. Pink Floyd - Meddle 19. The Move - Message from the Country 20. Can - Tago Mago 21. Electric Light Orchestra - self-titled 22. Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys 23. T. Rex - Electric Warrior 24. Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson 25. The Moody Blues - Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
  5. It’s a DA getting over her skis, plain and simple
  6. The performance of “Wooden Ships” that he did with Steely Dan a couple of years ago was stunning!
  7. Possibly unpopular opinion, but if it's Spielberg making it, I don't want him to do a documentary about Williams' life or entire career, I'd want it to be just a portrait of their collaboration specifically
  8. Those 60s Byrds records that Crosby was on remain my favorite work he's ever been involved with, RIP
  9. I'm moving on to the 70s, late 60s to mid 70s being my favorite period of rock music, I said screw it and did a top 25 albums. If a band releases two albums in a year (so much more common back in those days), I allow myself to rank them together if Ilike them basically equally. 1970 1. Badfinger - No Dice 2. Led Zeppelin - III 3. Neil Young - After the Goldrush 4. The Allman Brothers Band - Idlewild South 5. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory 6. The Beach Boys - Sunflower 7. The Velvet Underground - Loaded 8. Buddy Miles - Them Changes 9. Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection 10. Randy Newman - 12 Songs 11. Black Sabbath - Paranoid 12. John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band 13. David Bowie - The Man Who Sold the World 14. King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon / Lizard 15. Emitt Rhodes - self-titled 16. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - self-titled 17. Crosby, Still, Nash, and Young - Déjà Vu 18. The Kinks - Lola vs. the Powerman & the Money-Go-Round, Pt. 1 19. The Beatles - Let It Be 20. Rod Stewart - Gasoline Alley 21. The Doors - Morrison Hotel 22. Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead / American Beauty 23. Dave Mason - Alone Together 24. The Band - Stage Fright 25. The Guess Who - American Woman
  10. We don't know if he's died yet or not, but the actor Julian Sands has been missing in California's San Gabriel Mountains since last Friday. I adored Sands in the film A Room With a View and remember him fondly in Arachnophobia, among others. It'll be a real shame if he died on a hike. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-01-18/missing-hikers-mt-baldy-san-gabriel-mountains-julian-sands
  11. Filler episode this week. Cid remains a nothing character, Ben Schwartz is always annoying. The final race was pretty good though, Tech approached it like an eSports gamer
  12. They are. The film's armorer is facing the exact same charge as Baldwin. As if they have the same level of culpability! From the information I've read, Baldwin is, if not quite a victim here, certainly not responsible in in any way for that poor woman's death. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/19/arts/rust-shooting-charges-alec-baldwin.html
  13. I dunno if this is too heated a topic for the forum, but I think that's complete bullshit.
  14. Agreed. I understand his reliance on canned stories, assuming extemporaneous public speaking isn't his forte, but I mean.... you gotta find new bits.
  15. Well the fatal line of course belongs to Spielberg. So obviously he'll get Gabriel LaBelle (from The Fabelmans) to play himself and then digitally age him up to his 40s.
  16. OK, we've officially reached our quota for the day on the "all dead" jokes. Everybody pack up and go home.
  17. And the film sequence is my official favorite Bond pre credits action sequence (all due respect to the amazing dam sequence in Goldeneye of course).
  18. I'm surprised Fabelmans got any nominations, it hasn't even released in Britain, right?
  19. Not arguing with your characterization of the music as soundscape, but there's less synth than you think in Bertelmann's scores. He creates much of his work completely organically. I find his processes fascinating and have really liked his albums under the name Hauschka for more than a decade. His film scores have admittedly not impressed me a lot usually. If only his scores sounded more like his work as Hauschka...
