"A bit moralistic"? An American movie? Surely you must be joking, or confused!

[literally]

Welp, 15 minutes of this video have been enough to remind me of why I don't watch Nostalgia Critic.

If you made it that far, I guess it's not the sketches...


And my guess is... Camp Nowhere?

edit: wait... the hair... the overalls. Could it be The Lawnmower Man?

I... have literally no idea what you're talking about I just kind of dislike him because (at least to me) he comes across as someone who believes himself to be far smarter and funnier than he actually is. That smugness. Ick.

Anyone is welcome to jump in here. If no one does after a while I will post something.

EDIT: I just saw that Nostalgia Critic just put out a video on The Wall... Is it some kind of anniversary or just a coincidence?

I don't watch Nostalgia Critic, so coincidence, I guess! I'll check out that video in any case

Indeed!

I'm going to add a couple more just because this movie's animations are so amazing, even if I might be making it even easier:

Easy one:

Us.

All this makes for such a nice late Sunday mood! Mum and Air are both lovely.

And I finally listened to the new Tool album.  It's fantastic at being what it is, a Tool album.  Nothing particularly new or groundbreaking, just more good music from Tool.  I was disappointed at first, but it's growing on me.  I particularly like Pneuma, Descending, and 7empest.

Same here! When I actually think about the album, I'm like eh, it's too wanky, eh, most tracks should be 3 minutes shorter, eh, MJK's vocals are kinda weak, etc etc etc. But when I listen to it, it just stirs something inside me. I've even teared up listening to Descending, ffs. If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is.

And now I'm listening to this:

I had never heard of this band until literally a couple of days ago, when I bumped into this while watching other videos from this series of concerts:

...and now I think I'm in the phase of slowly falling in love with them. So dreamy!

[We want pretty game now.]

Thanks, nice to hear that! Maybe one year more...? 

Take your time! I'm gladly waiting if that means mor features/encounters and better balancing 

How dare you be logical and reasonable! We want pretty game now.

Loving everything about this so far! How much longer are you going to make us wait for it?

man n fist, PJ = Polly Jean.

I saw PJ Harvey live in 2001 at the Reading Festival . I was only aware of one song of hers at the time but after seeing her at Reading, I got quite into her. I haven't really followed her in recent years, though. I will rectify that.

If you missed White Chalk, I'd say that's the only one of her albums since 2001 that's a required listen. After that, I'd pick her second John Parish collaboration, A Woman a Man Walked By, and the compilation The Peel Sessions 1991â€"2004 unless you already have most of the tracks. Let England Shake was well received (it won the Mercury Music Prize), but I've never cared for that or for Uh Huh Her. The Hope Six Demolition Project has a couple of good tracks, but in general I think her current overtly political phase has been pretty weak both musically and lyrically.

Also tangentially related, in 2005 she contributed some songs to Marianne Faithfull's "Before the Poison", which is a fantastic album and also has some great songs from Nick Cave in it (has it really been 14 years? ?? Oh god, now I'm depressed.)

Cool! Has a bit of that folky feeling to it that reminds me of...

Oh wow, now that's a blast from the past. One of the craziest gigs I've been to for sure!

Justified bragging, in that case. I'm jealous.
When she was on her White Chalk tour I took a trip to NYC specifically to see her in concert at the Beacon Theatre (and also to see the Blade Runner Final Cut in the cinema).

That's a nice double program! And White Chalk is such a beautiful album.

Didn't get a good night's sleep, need something to get me going today. I need some... voodoo!

Love this album so much! Is it considered bragging if I say I saw her live on this tour?

lol, this made me think immediately of these two classics:


"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Fav GNR song...

Haha oh, the times.

I'm listening to this right now to give me energy while I clean the house:

The last screenshot makes me think Garth Marenghi's Darkplace for some reason...

Can you guys provide a translation?
