re: How come Richard Grieco didn't become a big star?
Posted by johnqpublic on 3/31/24 at 5:15 pm
My hypothesis is he came from the same show as Johnny Depp. Both had the looks but Depp could act. I think because they were on the same show Grieco was compared to Depp more closely.
Plus, Grieco went off to do the spin off Booker while Depp stay on Jumpstreet. Maybe trying to carry a show on h...

“I rent a lot of cars. When I drive a rental car, I don’t know what’s going on with it, right? So a lot of times, I drive for 10 miles with the emergency brake on. That doesn’t say a lot for me, but it really doesn’t say a lot for the emergency brake. It’s not really an emergency brake, it’s an emer...

[quote]David O’Russell[/quote]
Not sure I can take anything seriously when they cannot get the man's name correct. His last name isn't "O’Russell". His middle initial is O. (for Owen) and his last name Russell. Hence, David O. Russell.
Do these people think Mace Windu was portrayed by Samuel E...

re: Do you consider rap and hip hop to be music?
Posted by johnqpublic on 3/22/24 at 2:02 pm
TL;DR
Yes. Just because an art is not to someone's liking, doesn't mean it isn't art.
To decide if something is music, one must determine what the parameters are OF "music". Garcia said rap was just talking, that implies it must be sung. Are pieces with no vocals whatsoever "not music"?

[quote]I thought about asking "what is the most perfectly crafted pop song?" but I didn't want the thread to get bogged down over arguments about whether particular songs are or are not "pop" music. So I decided to broaden the question, and for the sake of discussion we will define the rock era as b...
