My ultimate hip hop guilty pleasure is Will Smith.

How can you not like this song? It's infectious goddamnit.

Exactly! I enjoy watching my shitty team because I have no expectations for them. When they win, it's a pleasure! But don't get me started on the Knicks and Jets... Having your team be just a notch above mediocrity is the worst.

I don't think that is irrational at all. Your dislike is justified. There is being rowdy and having a good time at a game, which I certainly understand, then there is throwing things onto the field and cheering for serious injuries. People need to be reminded that what they are enjoying is just a game. I have been able to conquer my anger at losing by watching the New York Mets. Since they always lose, I am pleasantly surprised when they win, and perfectly fine when they inevitably implode during the ninth inning.

Kanye, Beck, and Daft Punk are my top answers. Jack White can probably be thrown in there too. Also, 100% 2 Chainz goes down as this generation's Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach combined. Quote me. (Just kidding, please don't)

I really loved this film. I know that some people complain about the length of the film, but I think it is perfect. The running time is indulgent, and that perfectly encapsulates the theme of the film.

Wow! Congratulations! Seeing nine rabbits in one day is an incredible feat, and something you should be very proud of! But seriously, eleven miles on a bike is really great, I applaud you (for real this time).

Tsuth  ·  3835 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Who are some actors that you feel are underrated?

Raising Arizona and Moonstruck are great films of his as well.

Four films that I would suggest are: The Graduate, Annie Hall, Double Indemnity, and Manhattan. The Graduate is a classic, and one of my favorites. It is equal parts comedy and drama and really has a wonderfully poignant message. Annie Hall and Manhattan are two of my favorite pieces by Woody Allen, and I believe them to be his definitive works. I happen to be a huge fan of his work and his style. Both films blend comedy and drama masterfully. My final recommendation is Double Indemnity which is a film noir thriller. The dialogue is sharp and the cinematography is stunning.

Tsuth  ·  3835 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What are your five favourite films, and why?

Here are mine in no particular order:

The Graduate, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Annie Hall, Reservoir Dogs, and Cinema Paradiso. There are several films that I wish I could add to this list, but these films came to mind first. Last second honorable mentions go to Double Indemnity, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Godfather Parts I and II, Sleeper, Manhattan, uhh wow I'm missing a lot of my favorites, I feel terrible.

I absolutely love this movie. I had a chance to see it at the New York Philharmonic with a full orchestra, it was breathtaking.
