Trust me. My musical horizons can't get much broader. You can name almost any type of music and i'm gauranteed to like at least some of it. With that said "broad musical horizons" doesn't make the 90s suck any less. Up to that point record companies had (in comparison) relativly little influence. They may have wanted their musicians to project a certain image or to wear a certain product. But musicians had more room to do their own thing. Sure The Monkees and Milli Vanilli popped in here and there but they were rarities back then, whereas in the 90s (and even now) they were the norm. We'll always remember the 60s for The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin etc... The legacy from the 90s is Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls and N*Sync. That's not to say that there weren't good bands in the 90s that avoided the mainstream machine. But the concentration of bands that managed to retain artistic dignity in the 90s, is far less than in any other decade (save perhaps the 80s).

Moderatly love, but not to the point of obsession or weekly watchings. If you were the only one who knew the world was going to end tomorrow at 11:08am, what would be the first thing that you would do?

Is Grunge the defining music of the 90's? I was born in '87 so i got into the following decade early on in life. I've always considered the 90's to be the time of boyband type music. My estimations: 40s - Swing & Jazz 50s - Doowop 60s - Classic rock 70s - Disco 80s - (gets hazy here but i think) old school rap 90s - Pop 00s - either pop-punk or gangsta rap. Anyway if we're talking about ALLLLLLL the types of music in ALLLLLL of the decades, then overall the 60s is my favorite musical era (40s a close second.) The 90s kind of sucked in my opinion. I think each era spits out its own legends and if we ignore all of them, then the 90s had the shittiest remainder. The 80s sucked crap too but at least they had some weird style going for them.

I haven't heard it in FOREVER as it was lost with my old computer. But i think i always heard it as: "Picturize the nights and days. You close your eyes and float away" The last 4 lines have always been among my favorite mg/b lyrics.

Donnie Darko is a great movie if you watch it to follow the characters, I love the characters in Donnie Darko, though I find the people calling it a 'philosophical' movie is ridiculous. It's a science-fiction tragedy for Christ

Yeah i just watched the film and hated it. But the "where are your ears?" line was classic. I love it when incredibly serious moments are punctured by indifferent or light-hearted remarks. Crappy movie, but like someone said: the comics suck too. I didn't expect much. Sidenote: Shadowkitten the .gif in your sig is awesome.

I've only read his novel Fight Club which i thought was amazing. I'd be interested to hear any opinions on his other novels. Are they as good? Better? Worse?

Harry Potter (!hbp Spoiler Warning!)
static replied to firestorm701's topic in Rentals, Television, and Readables
EXACTLY! My theory is that he's going to get himself killed by Voldemort, but done in a way that he's dying protecting someone else. That person is inflicted with the magic of love and uses that new power to take Voldemort down. Because seriously once Harry gets rid of all the Horcruxes, he's not going to be able to take down Voldemort with spell magic. A 17 year old student against a 40-something year old fully accomplished wizard who studied the dark arts for years? Harry would get his ass served to him. That's why i think he's going to die, leaving the magic of love in someone else (doesn't matter who) and they can take him down by touching his face or something (like they did with Quirrel.) I've been sticking to this theory since book 3 and its only been further and further confirmed. JK likes to tie her books together completly, so i wouldn't be surprised if she did a full circle with the magic of love ending the series as well as beginning it. -

I know it doesn't count but the best misheard lyric is "Hold me closer Tony Danza" replacing the real lyric by Elton John: "Hold me closer tiny dancer" -

Hi Lo Trons - Electronic-ish. Lots of screaming. Brilliant performances. Sarah Slean - Piano. Sweet sounds. Very melodic. -
I agree completly. Logic Will Break Your Heart was an awesome record. I just hope they don't fall into the one sound slump.

I lurrrrrrrve Maggie Gylenhaal. She's not the greatest actress but her personality seems a lot more real then most actresses her age and older.
