Post a controversial opinion

Estranging oneself from one’s parents doesn’t seem like it should be as difficult as people make it out to be.

― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby)

i can't really parse this. it was difficult for me. the idea that it could, nonetheless "should", have been easier isn't something i can get my head around.

As Freud said: parent/child relationships are really simple.

It's sad but it's not difficult if there is a valid reason and you are unwilling to keep enabling that behaviour or giving a pass on it. I know a woman who can't estrange herself from her toxic, racist, Trump supporting parents because she needs the free childcare. Allyship for most people absolutely just means "whenever it's convenient."

Don't even get me started on women married to men who can't be bothered to support their wives' basic civil rights. He has a lot on his mind!

the election needle is dumb but cool

i wish it would jiggle even more

Bruce Springsteen is lame

I never cared for Springsteen, either. But opinions about pop music are all equally controversial and equally ignorable.

Yes. Could never get into Springsteen. Nebraska is lo-fi? BS - every vocal is coated in reverb

also the Backstreet Boys ripped off the refrain of "Atlantic City" for "I Want It That Way"

take your bullshit opinions about the boss to ilm so i don't have to read 'em

woah, you're right xpost

FINE

x[

xp

lol

poch out

Nebraska is "dark" & "spare" not so much "lo-fi"

true. knowing he recorded it on one of the earliest Tascam 4-tracks gave me the wrong impression going in. I wasn't expecting Ariel Pink or R. Stevie Moore or whatever but it doesn't sound like "a Tascam record." it's too clean

Springsteen is like France for me...I only learned to appreciate them after I got old.

I always think my old man, a confessed atheist, is really a bitter Christian waiting for a sign. I'm sort of the same with the Dead so keep the channels open. Damn but I'm consistently surprised - for a band so feted for their transcendence - how earthbound and lumpen they are. I await the call.

a confessed atheist!

always loved darkness on the edge of town

i've met some dudes that hate the boss bc they think he's a poser but u kno what

hes done his due diligence

Xp he's a mess of contradictions.

Like Whitman he is large, he contains multitudes

There are no good James Bond films

You only think that because you are over the age of 12.

How do you know?

Maybe I'm the littlest ILXor

I have no solid information about your stature. Your post-pubescent status appears relatively certain. For one thing, you think there are no good James Bond films.

GoldenEye is the best James Bond movie

I'd probably go with Live and Let Die as the best, but that doesn't make it good.

russia with love is best bond and is 8/10

Live and Let Die is my favourite Bond, but From Russia With Love and Dr No are definitely much better films.

most films are bad

most everything is bad

theres still more than enough good left

↑ new board description.

i agree with the second part

Skyfall is really good, and one of the best uses of Roger Deakins

its

awful

I don't remember a minute of Skyfall or Casino Royale, but I recall liking them. Looked good, very Borne Identity? I only remember that because I recall Quantum of Solace being unwatchable, which casts things into relief. I do know that, regardless, I didn't even bother seeing the last one, because James Bond sucks.

Moonraker

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a great Bond film and Lazenby gets too much shit considering some of Roger Moore’s performances.

Casino Royale > Quantum of Solace > Spectre > Skyfall (but only barely - the last two are REALLY BAD)

Would vote for Live and Let Die or From Russia With Love as best Bond, with Goldfinger and The Spy Who Loved Me battling for #3. Part of me loves Diamonds Are Forever because it’s so curdled and cynical and gross.

one of the best uses biggest wastes of Roger Deakins

two best bonds are from russia with love and on her majesty's secret service

hating them all is an entirely defensible, non-controversial opinion

unperson's ranking of the craig bonds otm

i think qos is best craig, it lacks the bloat and weight and is almost brosnanesque

brosnan bonds, apart from goldeneye, utter waste but dont have sam mendes' cutprice christopher nolan pseuodobollox

The best thing about Skyfall is the song, a karaoke classic:

Eat the TRIFLE
Apple CRUMBLE

"brosnan bonds" sounds like worst idea for a new cryptocurrency ever.
