Sorry to derail the thread to respond to a post from 15 years ago, but to my shame, I have actually watched the Bounce deleted scenes and found them oddly fascinating. If I'm remembering right, test audiences found Ben Affleck's character unlikable, so they fixed this by cutting out all the scenes in which he showed self-awareness - the assumption being that if he didn't know he was an asshole, neither would we. It was an interesting window into how movies become more terrible than they need to be.

I googled the list of billboard adult contemporary #1 songs and listened to the 2018 and 2019 lists. 😣🤮😯🤮🤮🤮
The modern style of music is the new normal. Music evolved to this and I'm afraid we've reached its final form - carefully calculated to appeal to the masses. 💩💩💩

This is a very good and worthy survey, Alfred.
Also lol @ Lily Dale's post. Yes, it's often difficult to determine whether a post is fifteen years old or if I've just randomly evoked a topic no one but me has had an interest in discussing within the past fifteen years.
