She might be "mainstream" but I just looked at the playlist of my local country station and she wasn't played once yesterday (with a new album out). So, I don't think radio country gives her much love.
It's really good. I've always dug Kacey's tunes.
The women's elimination chamber match was way better than the men's just last month.

That's fair. I still like those dynamics/things.
I love Rey. I think she's a fantastic character. But also Kylo, Poe, and Finn.

I find that in many ways, Episode III can be viewed as almost a standalone film where you get to see virtually everything that you were told in the old trilogy. Anakin shows off his starfighter pilot skills, you see a chummy relationship between Anakin/Obi-wan (not spoiled brat Anakin and teacher Obi-Wan), you understand why Anakin fell to the darkside (save his wife), and you witness the fall of the Jedi/rise of the Empire.


Maybe so but I did not enjoy the execution. I always thought Anakin went from Jedi to killing children very quickly.

quote:

It's somewhat unfair to judge the sequel trilogy based only on the first two films, but thus far, Episodes 7 and 8 took away a whole lot but haven't really added much to the Star Wars universe.



Obviously, this is all subjective but they've added characters I'm really interested in and I'm curious to see what happens next.
This narrative is so ridiculous.

The prequels are not good movies. Episode 3 is okay. I don't know how anyone can complain that TLJ doesn't "feel like a Star Wars movie" while trying to redeem the prequels (which feel so much more cartoon-y).

I don't know what to tell you. I went to the theater with 6 people and everyone liked it. The end of the movie got a BIG applause.

And then everyone I've talked to since then has liked it.

Not criticizing you for not liking it but I've yet to talk to someone in person who didn't like it (ranging from casual fans to Star Wars nerds).

Not saying it was spammed. It's just weird to me that the online reaction is so different from what I've encountered in my personal life.
Loved it!

Can't believe all the miserable folks. To say this movie is terrible or "trash" is hilarious. It's like you've never seen an actual bad movie.

So many things I loved--every scene with Rey, the hyperspace ship split, the whole scene with Snoke, Rey, and Kylo. I got chills when Rey lifted the rocks. Yoda!

I had a blast (and that's why I go to the movies). I wish we got a little more background on Snoke but I'm okay with it.

I feel silly arguing about shoes so this will probably it for me but

quote:

That's what you think in your head.


That's what a lot of people think that are into clothes. That's why tons of people have been wearing them for so long.

Sure, they're simple but they have a classic look. You can rock them with jeans, chinos, and shorts. It's why people like Janowski's, killshots, or Stan Smith's (which I don't even really like but I see the appeal).

Shoes that have busy designs are more likely to look dated in a few years.
quote:

neither passes the eye test. If you wear them for comfort, fine. If you're trying to make a fashion statement or look well kept, its a fail


White low chucks and authentic vans are some of the cleanest casual sneaks out there.
Guardians, TDK, and Winter Soldier would have to be in my top 5.
Elvis played rhythm guitar, man. He was a perfectly fine guitarist but let's not act like he was a whiz. I don't even value instrument proficiency that much but I don't think the fact that he plays the guitar is an argument for his greatness.

Bieber can play the drums/guitar, maybe more?

Again, I'm not saying Bieber's music is better. Elvis is great and he was a superstar.
quote:

Elvis was far more talented than Bieber could imagine.


I'm not saying I like Bieber's music better than Elvis but he does play more instruments and is more involved in the song writing process.

IMO Elvis has a better voice, is more charismatic, etc.

But there are different ways to judge talent. This comment is just interesting to me since a lot of posters here bash modern pop stars for many things that Elvis is guilty of.

So wrestling fans really are that stupid.



So you watch a movie/television show and say to yourself "this is fake" the whole time without allowing yourself to get engrossed in the story?

Showcase should be in the top 10 IMO.
So you think Whitney Houston, The Supremes, Selena, The Ronettes, and Aretha Franklin had more to do with the song writing process than Beyonce?
quote:

I don't know why it's that laughable.


It's not. Almost every song off those first two albums is a pop music gem.
