My Years With UFO

American dates to be announced soon. Sound awesome although I hope he also plays some MSG.

Highwater Festival April 27.

Arcade Fire and Waxahatchee were excellent. Flipturn was entertaining, Counting Crows were annoying. I would highly recommend seeing Arcade Fire live if you like their music, and mildly recommend them if you don't.

Guns N Roses was a hair band.

I disagree. Guns and Roses was a gritty rock band. For some reason they get thrown in there. They were the first nail. I know cause I saw it.

They were both. Hair refers to your hair and clothing style while rock refers to their music. When you tease up your hair and have it done at a boutique so it looks like 80s highschool girls and dress like this, you are a hair band. Doesn't mean they didn't rock too. See Motley Crue Shout at the Devil.

Once again, many on this board thought it looked very good to great but that the characters were lesser known and that could affect the box office. I don't remember anything close to a majority hating the actual trailers.

Nicolas Cage The I Ran Out of Money Collection for $25. Still, three of those (Kick arse, Lord of War, and The Unbearable Weight....) are worthy of a retrospective.

RHCP by a hair. Both great bands w/ some weak albums and some great ones.

Barbarian was great.

re: The Phantom (1996) is extremely underrated

Posted by rebelrouser on 4/24/25 at 10:56 am

So was Darkman with Liam Neeson, Bruce Campbell, Francis McDormand, and Larry Drake (what a cast).

How much will we save and when will they look at the Pentagon budget? An organization that can't even account for the billions we give them.

Posted by rebelrouser on 4/21/25 at 7:56 pm

How do they get away with their affirmative action requirements? This rule is almost as stupid. The people who vote all have personal assistants and no honesty. I guess you don't even need the personal assistant; just turn on the streaming movie and go do something else.

Its up to 45M. So already at 10M profit. Churches start bussing people to see it and look out.

re: First 3 months of 2025 lowest box office since 1996

Posted by rebelrouser on 4/17/25 at 3:55 pm

That surprises me. I would have thought '96 would kick '25's arse. I bet '96 in general kicks '25's arse though as the big ones (Independence Day, Twister, Mission Impossible were released in the summer). The first three months of '96 saw From Dusk Till Dawn, Dead Man Walking, White Squall (saw it in a theater, wasn't that great), Happy Gilmour, Bottle Rocket, Mary Reilly, Down Periscope, The Bird Cage, Fargo, Executive Decision, and Flirting With Disaster (hilarious) so it was vastly superior to the first three months of '25.

This movie could have been great, but they just can't help themselves. At least they made Julia Garner's tits bigger.

It’s absurd that anybody would believe the bugs could send an asteroid across the galaxy with their plasma farts

I think it was a false flag operation in the movie, which would have worked with the anti-war satire. But the books version was a little different:

quote:

The Terran Federation and Pseudo-Arachnids were already facing off for a long time in the outer worlds. Bugs, using information provided by the Skinnies, had located the location of Earth, the capital of the Terran Federation. That was how, a fleet of bugs with their ships, personally and directly, down, attacked and destroyed the city of Buenos Aires, turning it into a heap of rubble. So, after several battles, it was decided to invade Klendathu and begin the Bug War.

I know alot of people are down on this movie, but I am looking forward to it.

I think most people thought it looked good but lacked consequential/main characters. Interesting that the first trailers showed a sense of humor and fun and this one was pretty serious. Has a good chance to be the best thing that Marvel does in 2025.

Twenty years! Damn. Time flies. Easily the best of the prequels. I left work and got stoned w/ a friend when it came out. The opening scene attacking the star cruiser and the final scene were awesome.
