That's my point, you really have to search for indies and foreign films now because Hollywood is so broken. A24 has put out some good indies. I liked Good Time, Midsommar (The Wicker Man was better though.) Ex Machina and Moonlight were great but they were made a long time ago. Sound of Metal was really good. The Father Banshees? The Banshees of Inisherin wasn't for me.
I just returned home from 5 days in The Finger Lake Region and spent one of the nights in Binghamton to see Get The Led Out. They are an absolutely great cover band that tours throughout the country with a lot of those dates on the East Coast and in New England.
That's my point on all of this, as far as I'm concerned the mainstream culture is basically dead when it comes to movies and music these days. There's of course still really good underground rap, rock and indie/foreign films being made but it's not the stuff that's being mass produced for the mainstream. It wasn't like that in the 90's. There was so much amazing mainstream rap, rock, Hollywood movies. Same for the decades before the 90's.
The Father. Meant a comma after it. Great movie.
Not sure what this even means though, really. Rock was in it’s heydey in the 60’s/70’s. The 90s had good bands but alternative and punk and grunge, the classic rock wasn’t good.
What do I mean? I mean there were amazing mainstream rock bands in the 90's- STP, Pearl Jam, The Black Crowes GNR, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Rage....the list goes on and on and then hundreds of great mainstream rock bands from the decades before.
Yeah again, you’re being a nostalgia merchant. No one is saying its the golden age of the 90s, but those who actually look for real quality Hip Hop/Rap will find it.
It's my opinion that mainstream rap, rock, and Hollywood movies are bad now. It doesn't mean every single mainstream rap song, rock song, and Hollywood movie made nowadays is awful but the overwhelming majority of it is really bad IMO. Yes, I'm using broad strokes. It's not a hot take, i've wasted so much time listening to and watching stuff only to be disappointed over and over again. You're the one claiming I don't know the mainstream rappers now.
I’m truly sorry you have to live in this mediocre world!!!
And to a lesser extent, when was the last great iconic comedy? Seth Rogan said they never would have made Superbad today and the industry just is not set up to produce edgy comedies today.
This thread has some serious legs.
Sabrina fills the market share for breathy bubble gum young female pop star with a catchy synthesized sound, generic. Always a market for it with tweenage girls. Just have to time entry in just as the last one gets old (Megan Trainor type). Get your catchy hit out, get the summer tour kicking, make your money and then fade into the horizon. I’m sure the agent is like, hey Ariana Grande’s last hit is fading, release!! When these girls sing I feel their açaí bowl breath hitting my face.
Hey back in medeival times we ruled the world.
Whatever you say. The NFL doesn't care if you personally do not like the halftime show. They already had your attention. Three/Four days a week. Every week for five months.
The fact that Snoop is still as relevant as he is is absolutely incredible.
Ages like a fine Colt45.
