Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the third best movie in the series ahead of Temple of Doom. It's perfectly good for an Indiana Jones movie.

I think that Trump's protectionism - his stated opposition to free movement and free trade - is one of the worst things (though not the worst thing overall) about him, presuming he actually follows through on it. I appreciate that that's likely to be an unpopular opinion. Felt the same way about Brexit, to be honest.

Obviously a group of people undertaking a common action for a common cause is always going to do more than one person trying to mount some one-man crusade by themselves.

The Confederates would almost certainly have sided with the British and the French, because the only way they'd have had a snowball's chance of winning the Civil War would've been if the British and the French help them (i.e. Royal Navy breaks the blockade and Canadian troops attack New England, Napoleon III successfully establishes a pro-French Hapsburg monarchy in Mexico etc.).

I don't really like most of the novelty flavours (I remember when I was in primary school we got free packets of baked beans flavoured crisps for Red Nose Day) but Tayto did these "hometown" limited edition brands: Ulster fry, curry chips and vegetable roll. The first two weren't bad but the veggie roll ones were minging.

Corbyn should have backed leaving the EU. It would have been more honest, because that had been his position for his entire political career up to his becoming leader of the Labour Party. In addition, in both of his leadership contest victories, he has secured the majority of votes of the majority of Eurosceptic Labour voters or Labour voters who otherwise voted to Leave easily. More to the point, his election was predicated on this idea that he was going to be the herald of these new radical ideas, and leaving the EU is almost certainly the most radical change British politics will experience for (charitably) at least 20 years on either side of the event. Furthermore, if Corbyn had been one of the faces of Leave, it would have permitted the development of less stringent post-referendum narratives than those we have now, which will have the effect of diminishing our vital free market principles as we leave the single market and customs union (dire mistakes if ever there were any) under the aegis of a government led by people who seem intent on overcompensating for their comparative inaction during the referendum campaign to placate the loudest element of the victorious Leave faction. In any event, leaving the EU will rather unfortunately probably make it easier for the socialists to take over in the long-term, which is Corbyn's ultimate goal, and why he (and the rest of the Bennites) have been opponents of our membership since before the last referendum. That being said, the fact that EU policy could end up undermining the Labour Party after having been the Conservatives' chief bugbear for more than three decades is somewhat amusing in a morbid fashion.

Nine times out of ten, when a recording artist who starts off playing "simple" or "direct" music then starts making "mature" or "sophisticated" music, the simple music will be better. The Young Rascals were always better than the Rascals and the Who were better when they were doing three-minute pop songs than when they were doing rock operas.

Globalisation remains the way forward (at least insofar as it is an irresistible force with no immovable object it could conceivably meet) and we would consequently be wrong to reject free trade. The best argument for staying in the European Union (and leaving was a grievous mistake) was its enshrinement of the principles of free movement of goods, services, people and capital.

Every one of his songs is humorless arrogance and I hate his stupid fake voice. He also looks like a twat. It's really weird to me that "One Night" was a number-one song here (in the UK) for 15 weeks straight last year because it seems like a pretty unremarkable generic R&B song to me.

I used to have these Simpsons tie-in books which were all guide-books from the point of view of characters in the show, so, for example, you would have Mr Burns's Guide to Money, Krusty's Guide to Comedy, Ned Flanders' Book of Faith and so on. The Comic Book Guy One (Comic Book Guy's Guide to Pop Culture) had this section about action figures, which recommended buying five of every figure you wanted. That way, you would have one to open and play with, one to trade, one to customise, one to display, and one to "put away as an investment".

Aesop Poprock posted:Who the hell do you think Well, it's Rolling Stone, so it's inevitably Springsteen. I thought it was sort of silly when Rolling Stone updated their "100 greatest guitarists" list and put Springsteen on it. He's great but I think the's a competent rhythm guitarist at best. It's like how the NME is incapable of making any "best of" list that doesn't have Noel Gallagher on it in some capacity. I remember this compilation of "Top 10 Albums Ever" lists and it was generally Sgt. Pepper or Pet Sounds at number one (one of them did What's Going On? at number one which I thought was a pleasant surprise) except the NME who put Definitely Maybe first. Most overrated musician off the top of my head is probably Steven Van Zandt.

I think the Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest singers is generally fine except for John Lennon and maybe Bob Dylan being in the top 10. Again, those guys are good, but I don't think John Lennon should be ranked in the top five when the other four singers there are Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley and Sam Cooke. Granted, personally-held opinion (possibly unpopular).

Tiggum posted:Maybe Bob Dylan? Anyone who says Bob Dylan is a good singer is either lying or deaf. I suppose so but there's a lot more to singing than technical perfection. There's a reason why Céline Dion and Mariah Carey more seldomly appear on such lists while Whitney Houston does.

That Sam Cooke album is amazing. They didn't release it in 1963 when it was recorded because RCA thought it was too raw-sounding and it would hurt his pop star image, which I think is a shame because if white teenagers in 1963 liked anything, I'm pretty sure it wasn't dudes singing "A Taste of Honey" with a string orchestra. It's really interesting to compare it with the album he recorded at the Copacabana because it underlines how he could be a different artist for different audiences. He was the soul singer who inspired Otis Redding and Rod Stewart for black audiences and an urbane pop star - the Sinatra of rhythm and blues - for white adult audiences. Likewise, it's a real shame the only live record of Jackie Wilson we have is his Copa album where he's trying to do a kind of Dean Martin / Sammy Davis, Jr. "all round entertainer" thing. It's. It bad but it's not what it could have been. You could talk about a lot of the live gospel albums that came out in the late 1950s and 1960s as well. Those gospel guys rocked harder than most of the rock stars who were about alongside them did. Certainly the Dixie Hummingbirds and the Vlara Ward Singers and Rev. Julius Cheeks rocked harder than Chuck Berry or Elvis Presley. The only big-name rock and roll stars who could give them trouble on that front were Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and possibly Larry Williams.  Anyway, as far as rock albums and rock albums only go, the best live album of the 1970s was Live: Full House by the J. Geils Band. Wheat Loaf has a new favorite as of 11:57 on Mar 9, 2017 |
