Nice, rockism strikes on the Blur thread.

Of course some people will always regard any old shit on a record as an album.

Who the hell listens to albums all the way through anymore?

Maybe one day I'll live in a world where the results of film polls on ILE reflect my opinions, and that's a world I'd be happy to bring my children up in.

CHAKI Musician (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Thursday, 15 January 2009 16:15 (fifteen years ago) link

it's an overrated flick- i don't think anyone has said it's a bad flick. this level of challopsrage is verging on metachallops

i dunno whats overrated about it, everyone on ilx likes to talk about how flawed it is so

xhuxk d (deej), Thursday, 15 January 2009 21:01 (fifteen years ago) link

i think it might have been a bit over-effusively praised especially when it came out and ppl were all like, this is a lock for best picture, and that kind of slight critical exaggeration is kind of ilx contrarian bait

s1ocki, Thursday, 15 January 2009 21:22 (fifteen years ago) link

Plus it was down as #1 film on the IMDB 250 for fucking ages, which, correct me if I'm wrong, hunks of shit like In Bruges and Happy-Go-Lucky never were.

Really, isn't the notion of debating whether TV on the Radio made a better album than Vampire Weekend a bit like debating whether Wolverine could beat up Spawn?

THE HIPSTER DILEMMA (call all destroyer), Thursday, 22 January 2009 14:24 (fifteen years ago) link

there is no fucking way wolverine would EVER beat up spawn.
so there.

Dark Knight pretentiousness admittedly dwarfed by its repellent morality

i mean forgive me for stepping in but i think the point he was actually making was there is no such thing as a "tasty way to cook a turkey" because turkey sucks, which is 100% true.

There are a few great moments in Tropic Thunder, but it's no Dodgeball.

yeah he's really overselling the whole 'innocent bystander' look imo

k3vin k., Wednesday, 28 January 2009 20:31 (fifteen years ago) link

max fwiw i think table has dug himself pretty deeply into a hole on that thread but i suspect his essential point is that he's bored reading overwritten melodramas about the social lives of people the author doesn't bother to make him care about.

i disagree obv

just as an fyi to table & others - there are those of us who enjoy a good story about bloated upper middle-class people with problems

Dodgeball was great, and Tropic Thunder isn't quite as good. Pete Scholtes OTM!
