It's obviously not great but he manages to make it sound okay. I was afraid this was going to be embarrassing, like you're standing there in the crowd and you cringe on the band's behalf.

I think frankly they don't care. It's a job, the money is rolling in. He doesn't want to deal with anything and he doesn't have to. Other two are fine with it. We're lucky he still cares enough to release a couple of his old demo tapes. That's supposed to be part of their marketing too and see how they're handling that.
Like Izzy said, it's just a joke now.

You could call it the high watermark of the old band. Not at their absolute best musically, but as a popular phenomenon they were at their peak. I always feel for Adler, imagine being kicked out at that moment. A lot of guys wouldn't survive that.

I predict waiting.

I thought they all got killed...great moviemaking.

Old America. Open, nice, light shaded.
Bidens America. Give me the military dictator look.

I watched half of Amazon’s Lord Of The Rings and shut it off. Terrible.
There’s really no way to properly say how bad it is.
It's boring. The dialogue is pretentious and tedious, telling us very little of interest. Acting is cheap across the board. Action wise almost nothing happens. The intro which is a copy of FOTR has some action, and they slay a cave troll. Or rather SHE slays a cave troll while the male elves look on ineptly. Lots of that too.
Galadriel has two faces. Angry and not-angry, which is really more of a "barely keeping it together" thing.
In one scene, shellshocked from all her tours to Nam, she fumbles a holy ritual as she refuses to let go of her knife. I wouldn't be surprised if she was actually based on Rambo. The refusing to let go, scarred for life, always ready for battle, it's all there.
#598 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR or NIN? » 193 weeks ago
Thank you Arnold! NIN just wouldn't have been the same thing. Completely different type of music.
In a movie like the Terminator you want something badass, not angsty, depressed rocker. Regardless how great that can be.

Ford vs. Ferrari
Pretty good. Well directed and well cast.
It made me think, because there is nothing wrong with this movie, yet I have no desire to ever watch it again. You know the story and it was well told, but you don't need to hear the same story again.
I think this is the difference between art and entertainment.

I only kind of like it because I'm a GN'R fan and any song from that era is worth having. It really isn't a very good song. Shouldn't have been on AFD. Could have scrapped Anything Goes too. They don't fit in. They sound like "what if GN'R was a hair metal band?".
