| 2026-05-05 18:03 | Zaffer | Oh, and worked at the burger joint (not White Castle) in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle |
| 2026-05-05 18:03 | Zaffer | *nod* And then Law & Order and Blackish |
| 2026-05-05 18:02 | Quiss | he was in a season of the shield too |
| 2026-05-05 18:02 | Quiss | that era was peak Anthony Anderson |
| 2026-05-05 18:02 | Zaffer | I forgot about that! |
| 2026-05-05 18:02 | Zaffer | Oh damn! He's in Cradle 2 The Grave too :) |
| 2026-05-05 18:01 | Zaffer | And Anthony Anderson in Romeo Must Die! |
| 2026-05-05 18:01 | Zaffer | DMX in both! |
| 2026-05-05 18:01 | Zaffer | *nod nod* Both very worthy additions! |
| 2026-05-05 18:00 | Quiss | I'd add romeo must die and cradle 2 the grave to that list |
| 2026-05-05 17:58 | Zaffer | *wave Mala* :) |
| 2026-05-05 17:58 | Zaffer | Not Another Teen Movie, The Rundown, Clerks, Clerks II, Dogma, Hackers, Role Models, Mission Impossible, Idiocracy and Independence Day. |
| 2026-05-05 17:58 | Baryon | don't forget big trouble in little china! |
| 2026-05-05 17:57 | Malaclypse | ok later all, have fun |
| 2026-05-05 17:57 | Zaffer | I have a playlist called "Greatest Movies". It currently consists of: The Rock, National Treasure, Exit Wounds, Team America, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, White House Down, Broken Arrow, Dodgeball, Now You See Me, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. |
| 2026-05-05 17:57 | Malaclypse | grin zaffer |
| 2026-05-05 17:56 | Glitch | Indeed |
| 2026-05-05 17:56 | Zaffer | How can you not love it? Steven Seagal, Anthony Anderson, DMX, Tom Arnold! |
| 2026-05-05 17:55 | Glitch | Almost never see someone rep exit wounds though, a classic |
| 2026-05-05 17:55 | Glitch | "good" movies are the ones you like |
| 2026-05-05 17:55 | Zaffer | See: Exit Wounds, White House Down. |
| 2026-05-05 17:54 | Zaffer | And even then... the movies that I do watch are entertaining, not good. :) |
| 2026-05-05 17:54 | Zaffer | *I* won't miss it, because I just watch the same movies all the time. And none of them were made after 2013, I don't think. |
| 2026-05-05 17:53 | Malaclypse | too soon to call the death of the film industry ... but im hopeful :) |
| 2026-05-05 17:52 | Zaffer | The vertical integration of the production and distribution houses has resulted in fewer movies overall. |
| 2026-05-05 17:52 | Alyce | and it's curated way more |
| 2026-05-05 17:52 | Zaffer | Same with movies. With enough studios, there was actual competition for the creative products that people put out, and they had to compete against each other. |
| 2026-05-05 17:52 | Alyce | now you have to pay for a service |
| 2026-05-05 17:52 | Alyce | in the 70s for free you could turn on a radio in NYC and hear an amazing range of music |
| 2026-05-05 17:51 | Zaffer | You got a pretty good variety of music, and mostly pretty good. Or at least not really bad. |
| 2026-05-05 17:51 | Malaclypse | depending on where you lived |
| 2026-05-05 17:51 | Zaffer | You had studios that specialized in punk and such. And with enough studios, it actually worked out alright. |
| 2026-05-05 17:51 | Alyce | and the hopes from musicians for the future were much higher in the 90s than they are now |
| 2026-05-05 17:51 | Alyce | it was easier to find before spotify |
| 2026-05-05 17:50 | Malaclypse | yeah |
| 2026-05-05 17:50 | Zaffer | *nod Mala* The gatekeeping meant that you had to be "good" (marketable) enough to warrant pressing some CDs. |
| 2026-05-05 17:50 | Malaclypse | and let through its own brand of gumf |
| 2026-05-05 17:50 | Alyce | that's the catch, the owners still control the alogrithms etc so to really find the interesting or different you have to be an intrepid explorer |
| 2026-05-05 17:50 | Malaclypse | which for better or worse filtered a lot of the gumf |
| 2026-05-05 17:50 | Zaffer | Or maybe it's the same ratio that it always was... just there's *so* much more of it that you're sifting through way more garbage to find it. |
| 2026-05-05 17:50 | Malaclypse | in the old days there was a lot more gatekeeping |
| 2026-05-05 17:50 | Alyce | also taking control is worth a lot |
| 2026-05-05 17:50 | Malaclypse | yeah |
| 2026-05-05 17:50 | Zaffer | Noise > Signal in this case. |
| 2026-05-05 17:49 | Zaffer | *nod nod* |
| 2026-05-05 17:49 | Alyce | more music by a far far more diverse group has to be better |
| 2026-05-05 17:49 | Malaclypse | a lot more good and bad |
| 2026-05-05 17:49 | Malaclypse | it has created a lot more |
| 2026-05-05 17:49 | Alyce | i think it has |
| 2026-05-05 17:48 | Zaffer | The ability to produce music inexpensively outside of a professional studio has not necessarily made for better music. |
| 2026-05-05 17:48 | Alyce | is pirate's bay still around |
| 2026-05-05 17:47 | Alyce | not at all the way we thought it would be back in the day, when 'the future was coming' lol |
| 2026-05-05 17:47 | Alyce | not easy for alternative or experimental groups to get their name out, to make money |
| 2026-05-05 17:46 | Alyce | but it's not easy to find for ppl on spotify |
| 2026-05-05 17:46 | Alyce | there is mala |
| 2026-05-05 17:46 | Alyce | and loss of democracy, and increase in mental illness... aye carumba |
| 2026-05-05 17:46 | Malaclypse | you do have to look for it though |
| 2026-05-05 17:46 | Malaclypse | there is an absolute boat load of amazing obscure music online |
| 2026-05-05 17:45 | Alyce | and billionaires |
| 2026-05-05 17:45 | Ammomee | greedy corporations and spammers and scammers |
| 2026-05-05 17:44 | Alyce | it's sad how late-80s/early-90s internet optimism of an improvement in liberty and things like obscure music and all the improvements the tech would bring has actually led to the opposite |
| 2026-05-05 17:42 | Ammomee | I'd go to a big city like Dallas or Atlanta, and I'd be like. man.. these stations are so much cooler than ours. |
| 2026-05-05 17:42 | Alyce | and now probably dont really broadcast, but only exist on streaming |
| 2026-05-05 17:41 | Zaffer | The rock stations I would listen to over satellite dish because I lived in the middle of nowhere. |
| 2026-05-05 17:41 | Ammomee | my hometown was a rock station, and 40 years later, they still play the same music, but it's not as cool as it used to be |
| 2026-05-05 17:41 | Zaffer | Power97 in Winnipeg. |
| 2026-05-05 17:40 | Zaffer | 102.1 The Edge! |
| 2026-05-05 17:40 | Alyce | that's how the shoes started |
| 2026-05-05 17:40 | Ammomee | didn't they all have names like KROCK 102! |
| 2026-05-05 17:38 | Zaffer | Oof. I did not realize that Silver Side Up was released on Sept 11, 2001. |
| 2026-05-05 17:38 | Quiss | butt rock was the term for radio stations in the early 00s that played nothing "but rock" |
| 2026-05-05 17:38 | Zaffer | And then Silver Side Up had Never Again. Animals on whatever album that came out on. |
| 2026-05-05 17:38 | Alyce | i haven't seen a guitarist better than Michael Hedges |
| 2026-05-05 17:37 | Zaffer | Leader of Men, Old Enough and Breathe were all pretty good songs on their first album. |
| 2026-05-05 17:36 | Zaffer | And put on a helluva live show. |
| 2026-05-05 17:36 | Alyce | like Jon Spencer Blues Explosion |
| 2026-05-05 17:36 | Zaffer | Nickelback had some *great* jams. |
| 2026-05-05 17:36 | Vexor | eh? |
| 2026-05-05 17:36 | Imptastic | dont trash nickelback or all the canadians will come to their defense :P |
| 2026-05-05 17:36 | Quiss | butt rock, like Nickelback? |
| 2026-05-05 17:36 | Kanwal | #forever13 |
| 2026-05-05 17:36 | Alyce | nothing after 2000 is classic rock |
| 2026-05-05 17:36 | Gagator | really? i'll be 41 this year, i pictured you some like 60 year old retired computer programmer... |
| 2026-05-05 17:35 | Vexor | and moir is only 13 |
| 2026-05-05 17:35 | Zaffer | This classic rock is *way* better than the Beatles. |
| 2026-05-05 17:35 | Vexor | and to us, zaff is ancient |
| 2026-05-05 17:35 | Zaffer | Uh, I'm 42? Yes, that sounds right. |
