The best song about about a gun is the version of Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner where Zevon inexplicably goes into a Beethoven arrangement of Goethe's Bundeslied halfway through. It has everything, CIA Fuckery, vague proto-socialism, Hunter S. in the audience probably, just the works.

Led Zep's ongoing popularity is currently sublimated via Greta Van Fleet. Before them it was Wolfmother. And before that, Kingdom Come.

Farm Frenzy posted:i think shows having really bad endings is more of a result bizzare processes that studios impose on them in their production, where they want epic plotlines with raising stakes and also the traditional tv ability to bullshit around what the audience likes/performances from actors etc. like when westworld was rewritten because someone on reddit guessed the ending but yes, these processes typically involve epic spanning arcs of constantly raising the stakes and threat of blahblah and there's generally few talented enough to bring that back down to a 'satisfying' ending. these tend to go on unplanned and just constantly rushing from one release to the next trying to get it done on time for production release to the satisfaction of hollywood pedophile producers, and all with different writers coming in and out and just having to get something made and so you end up with a sprawling mess that just has to cut the jugular at the last second without depressurizing it first. or even in a budgetary sense too. lot of games do the ending like the last and oops we're out of moeny and have to release it right now, well gently caress it lets just give them a button to decide a lovely cutscene. like deus ex hr, or deathloop, or really a large portion of them. really the best thing to happen to a tv show with sprawling increasingly epic-stakes and convoluted mess is getting cancelled before having to 'end' it.

This is probably why I like Pink Floyd most when it's Roger Waters' platform to tell Margaret Thatcher and Reagan to gently caress off for perpetuating a needless cycle of violence for 50 minutes at a time and then tricking boomer dadrock dads into listening to and singing along with it somehow without them ever noticing it's the antithesis to everything they believe hush up and play the solo Gilmour, let Roger talk

That article reminds me of how much I respect Elysium for actually a liberatory ending. I remember people online criticizing it because, like, why wouldn't the rich people just share their healthcare pods with the poor?

i say swears online posted:iunno maybe it's that I never liked her in the books either i really liked that scene. because, yeah, that's what a bunch of aristocratic assholes would think about democracy. it would sound insane to them. it is the bourgeoisie who ushered in the idea of liberal democracy, not the hereditary nobles. of course the bourgeoisie ended up being no different from them and were often drawn from the same bloodlines, but nevertheless they're the ones who come along and smash the old system. and even then, the democracy they instituted was for their class alone and the franchise was only extended to stave off social unrest. samwell was proposing a modern style of democracy and the people he was talking to were absolutely not ready for it nor would they profit from it. also i liked that article, its a much more concise version of what mark fisher said in "capitalist realism" really. you're not getting any truly revolutionary themes in your mass media because why would they allow that? like the last movie i watched that had an actionable political agenda that i agreed with was "sorry to bother you" and that movie barely got made

Two things to keep in mind about any production: 1. Film and TV are artworks of compromise - depending on how much creative control, there might be more or less. But there will still be compromises that have to be made with reality, time, etc. Unavoidable events happen that prevent the product on screen from matching exactly with what was initially envisioned. This isn't always a bad thing! Sometimes those compromises end up creating something better - a good example is that the character of Mike on Breaking Bad was invented solely because Bob Odenkirk had a scheduling conflict with the days the episode was supposed to shoot, so the scene with Saul Goodman was rewritten to be a scene with Saul Goodman's Fixer Mike. Compromise! 2. The Executives with whom people have to compromise in order to get these movies and TV shows made are absolutely some of the dumbest motherfuckers on Earth and have no idea what actually makes something entertaining. The fact that anything of quality makes its way through that filter to us is honestly kind of a miracle.

Lib and let die posted:The guitar solo in comfortably numb tells more of a story than the actual lyrics do. The Wall is a slog for me and the band didn't have a great time making it either. Roger Waters was a big part of what make Pink Floyd more than a generic jam band, but he doesn't sound like an easy person to work with. It seems like a typical rock band story of one guy/girl stepping up to make decisions and provide leadership while the other members become increasingly passive-aggressive until the whole situation is completely untenable. I haven't tried listening to the Final Cut. A friend of mine claims its their best album, but the one single I heard was pretty dreary.
