You guys remember this?

can we pour some lye on Tom, plz

Seriously, I only just found out about this abomination, and I'm so angry that I want everyone involved to be buried up to the neck in sand and then covered in marmalade and ants.

i get being dismissive or lol check out this bullshit about the Rock of Ages movie but i don't really understand actual anger, unless you're especially reverent of the stage musical, or the original '80s rock songs, or think the actors would otherwise being engaged in something more dignified. as it is, i'm like whatever guys, go ahead and make a trainwreck, it's not like you were going to make anything of substance otherwise!

i mean sure Baldwin has better things to do but it's not like he took a break from 30 Rock to make this movie or anything

haha i cant wait to hear this thing.

yes

It's not like I think Brand/Cruise/Baldwin/et al could be doing something better with their time - probably anything they'd be involved in would be an undignified mess. And I don't care about the stage musical or the original 80's songs. It's just that I'm insulted that somebody thought that this would be entertainment. I literally just found out, so maybe the anger will wear off. Or maybe not, because of the trio of bellends involved.

this is one of those instances when i would pay good money to have seen the pitch meeting(s) that produced this thing

the real problem is that we're all picturing some feel feel feel feel my heat hilarity and its gonna be ultra competent studio hacks playing karaoke grade compressed covers and a buncha ok singers protooled to acceptability.

Producer A: "Whose career is on the skids that we can get cheap?"
Producer B: "Russell Brand, Tom Cruise, and Alec Baldwin."

(xp)

probably just "Hairspray with Travolta made money, let's try the Broadway adaptation + musical nostalgia + Scientologist formula again"

Mission:Impossible 4 made ~$700 million worldwide, I think Tom Cruise is doing fine.

was gonna say, all three of them seem to be doing just fine financially, so they didn't buy in out I desperation

i will be curious to hear Kinky do oye como va

I still fuck with some of the songs on that first Live album.

"pain lies on the riverside" or whatever is a low key banger

10. She Don't Use Jelly - The Flaming Lips
11. Setting Sun (Instrumental) - The Chemical Brothers
12. Brown Sugar - D'Angelo

^solid

11 kind of ideal

"natural one" is so so dope. the guitar hook alone is one of the best things that happened in the 90s.

that Nada Surf song was hella gimmicky but fairly inoffensive but it reminds me of one of the worst summers of my HS life so fuck it

i hated 'she don't use jelly' when i was 12, thought it was stupid and unserious, but i think it's pretty great now.

goo goo dolls' "naked" is a great song

only one i can't hear in my head is the live song

small mercies

Why The Crow Soundtrack Saved My Life

nope

Oh dear.

It sounds kind of like The Crow OST indirectly endangered his life.

It’s the kind of song some emotional 90’s teenager used as lubricant to gaze into the eyes of his 16 year old girlfriend who works in the food court and isn’t trying to fuck him.

sentences where "lubricant" shouldn't be used metaphorically

The Crow OST at #4!

What makes it great: A melancholy and tortured companion on your worst days, and a deeply dark motivator on the best days.
Really the soundtrack to: Your goth phase.
Most memorable song: "Big Empty," Stone Temple Pilots. Look, maybe it's true that all STP songs sound the same, but that sound is pretty great.
Sleeper favorite: "Snakedriver," The Jesus and Mary Chain. A wonderfully dark and dense take on a classic pop theme: the kiss that changes everything.
Low point: "Slip Slid Melting," For Love Not Lisa. On an album full of songs that your coolest friend still knows by heart, this song commits the sin of being utterly forgettable.

The author, from her own description:

Managing Editorial Director / Beastmaster 2: Through The Portal Of Time at BuzzFeed. Easily enthused.

Honestly kind of impressed by the endurance it must have taken to listen to 99 soundtracks in their entirety.

but also

Most memorable song: “Wild Wild West,” Will Smith. OMFG tiny Jaden at the beginning of this track is all of us.

it's buzzfeed. i doubt the research went that deep.

waiting to exhale and batman forever soundtracks properly rated though

:\

I forgot about that movie. Kinda want to own it now.

Sleeper favorite: "Talk Show Host", Radiohead.
The perfect song to lose your virginity to if you're the coolest person on the face of planet Earth.
