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."

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

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.

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
― flappy bird, Thursday, 8 November 2018 05:48 (five years ago) link
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.

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.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a great Bond film and Lazenby gets too much shit considering some of Roger Moore’s performances.
― gyac, Thursday, 8 November 2018 13:24 (five years ago) link
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.
