The only real difference between 70s and late 90s is the end of kayfabe.

Watch some Florida- Georgia -Mid Atlantic 78-85 and youll see a more realistic portrayal of the Attitude era.... including the cheesy sexual angles that probably shouldn't have been on TV.

They just didn't give names to specific eras at the time.

When McMahon, Russo,. and whoever the fuck were coming up with those storylines, they had stuff like this on in the background....

Stone Cold before there was Stone Cold....

The Undertaker/Ministry crap done much better with satanism in place of death....

The only reason that stuff isn't more outlandish as it would be in the 90s is because the crowd isn't being winked at and let in on the joke. Thank God for that.

Been watching a lot of movies while trying to recover.

Taxi Driver - Yeah...this is overrated. I hadn't watched this in probably 30 years. I didn't even remember the ending. I would've bet my life on Jodi Foster being a big part of this film. She only has a handful of scenes as it nears the climax. Only thing I liked about it is the 70s NY setting. I'd kill to eat at that cafeteria those cabbies eat lunch at.

I didn't remember him surviving. That was a trip.

I also never realized until now what a hot piece of ass Cybill Shepherd was in her youth.

Mean Streets - I don't think I had ever watched this.

This is THE prototype for Quentin Tarantino films.

Other than the 70s NY setting...which is amazing....it's not very good. Very little happens, mostly conversations, and there's no real payoff at the end.

Great soundtrack.

Una - Like Nesting Dolls, this film comes awfully close to greatness. If dealing with such a subject....child abuse victim confronting the guy 15 years later and you want to shock your audience, go all the way. Don't half ass it and then give it a lackluster ending.

While she's everyone's darling and she does a good job here, I don't like Rooney Mara. Not fond of her sister anymore neither. As I get older, I loathe these Taylor Swift types who are only in the position they are in because they threw fits in front of their rich families to become movie stars and then the whole world is instantly handed to them on a silver platter.

Society of the Snow - Until a few days ago I had no idea this existed. It's an Alive remake...one of my favorite 90s movies.

It was ok but I hated the editing style. I also didn't like how they handled certain aspects of the story...the lone woman dying is barely an afterthought here yet in reality it almost killed their spirit.

Loved how the actors took it seriously and went on crash diets to lose a bunch of weight. Made it so much more realistic.

The CGI plane crash was inferior to the 90s version.

I'll finish my list later. I gotta go somewhere.

He's a one termer.

Not only did they refuse to abandon the extremism, they doubled down on it with the Hamas supporters and the illegal alien nonsense.

That's not a winning formula.

He's also getting much worse. That statement he made a few days ago where it's just undecipherable gibberish coming out of his mouth would've instantly created a crisis in the 20th century. Now it's just laughed at like a meme.

I'm not a fan of Trump but he's capable of stringing a few sentences together. He wins by default.

The debates are going to be a disaster. I bet they don't even do them. If they do, Biden will have to freebase an 8 ball of cocaine to handle it.

I used to think The Blues was another Steph/Erin song and thought anyone who believed it was about Slash was bat shit crazy.

It's about Slash... unfortunately.

He just couldn't move on from these people.

Absolutely.

While it's definitely repetitive, it's one of his high points creatively. His megalomania is on full display.

Everything went downhill when Izzy left the fold.

33 years and counting, the big 3 have written a grand total of zero songs without him.

I want the alternate timeline where he fucks Elle MacPherson instead of Steph.

There's Billy Joel alternate timelines as well. He had his pick of Brinkley, Whitney Houston before she got famous, and a young Elle MacPherson.

He went with Brinkley.

Yep.

Out of the songs we've heard so far, Atlas is the only one lyrically that would fit with the Dylan theme.

The rest is all about Slash, Izzy, Steph, Erin, fans, a song about JD Salinger and a song about not trying to stop them even though they did everything to stop themselves.

This is a surprise. I didn't realize a video release was imminent.

I read the comments before watching. I had a feeling that the negative comments had a tad bit of hyperbole.

Just watched it...

It's terrible. It looks bad and it's not even mildly interesting. I'll watch it one more time to see if I missed anything in it. After that, no more.

The Unreal engine idea sounds better but it would probably still be underwhelming.

I'll give em kudos for even doing a video. Sad when you have to give kudos for them doing what other bands do all the time. They could have easily done no video at all or a lyric video.

Maybe it can somehow go viral but I doubt it. The song is already old news.

I feel the opposite...

It's shallow and nonsensical. It conveys nothing mentioned in that statement released above. It even goes in circles and repeats itself.

Looking at it from that angle, maybe it does fit the song.

Another reason it can't really properly go with the song even if it wants to is because it's GNR management who helped come up with the idea. Fernando, Beta, and whoever the fuck didn't write the song. They're not visionaries... they're a family who essentially won the lottery.

So instead of an interesting concept/story about child abuse, we get random AI crap thrown at the wall. There's no real narrative here.

Looks like it's getting mixed reactions on YouTube. Not knocking anyone who likes it but I just don't see any meat on the bones.

No...I don't think it would go over better if released by another band.

I do wish Roger Waters was 30-40 years old instead of 80. Now there's a visionary who could've used AI to come up with something interesting to go with his music.
