Axl autobiography would be pretty interesting. It will probably fare better now than 10-15 years ago when the world was still kind of hostile to him. I think that is less the case now.

It's almost an achievement for Axl to not do anything productive in all his time off. Does he not get sick of sitting in his house ordering take out? Slash goes on tour because he's got nothing better to do, Duff got his family, so what is Axl doing? He's got a housekeeper, pool guys and whatever to do all that shit the rest of us have to do. There's no wife to order him around, and I can't imagine him on a business schedule so I suppose he mostly lounges around the home all day?

The reunion gave Axl the excuse to stop pretending. He's not interested in his career or making music anymore. Hasn't been for a long time. Best he can do is sign off on some microwaved chinese leftovers from Slash & Duff. Other than that he's got nothing going. Just turn up for the gig, do some Vince Neil and cash the check.

I've decided that GN'R fans aren't expecting new music as much as they are expecting them just to act like a real band again. What's up, what's going on, we're going to be doing this etc. It's like going to wall mart and just sitting outside hoping they'll open up. No lights in the building, no sign on the door, just some old twinkies mashed out in the parking lot.

When they stop touring we'll never hear from him again.

Around the time of Iron Man, The Dark Knight and the Avengers I would say. I remember thinking the Avengers would bomb because there had been some similar movies in the past that did not do so well. That whole "crossover superhero" type movie. When that was a smash hit I think they realized there was an untapped market for generic super hero movies. Before that you needed something special. A great actor and a great director. After Avengers suddenly every other movie was making a billion. So late 00s, early 10s.

I remember seeing American Gangster and being incredibly disappointed. Now it's probably a slam dunk for a top 10 in that weak decade. I would have to go and take a look at my collection because I got few titles popping up in my head. Most of them underwhelming.

On the other hand, 2002 saw Attack of the Clones which might be my favorite movie of all time, so it was not all bad. A lot of titles are going to be early in the decade.

Hannibal
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
Gladiator
Femme Fatale
Black Dahlia
Mulholland Drive
Rambo 4
No Country for Old Men
Melancholia

Not bad actually. A hell of a lot better than a 2010 list would have been (or this decade *shudder*).
