they were easily understandable unless you were a retarded homosexual.

snatch seemed to me as a wannabe pulp fiction/resevoir dogs but no where near as cool

I used to have a problem with how incompetent they made the black guys in that movie. Then I remembered the type of crimes usually commited by black people and I stopped having a problem. The movie itself wasn't anything too original or edgy, but I liked most of the songs and I got a kick out of Bricktop. Still, if you want a multi-tier story with lovable gangsters and such you might as well just watch Pulp Fiction.

Ive seen Pulp Fiction multiple times now. Its one great movie, i also picked up the soundtrack for $4 at a yard sale and its an awesome soundtrack.

I do hope you're being sarcastic, my foreigner friend. Maybe the Norweigan hip hop groups didn't quite satisfy in the 1980's, but I can't say the same for the rest of the world.

I'm sorry, my foreigner friend (see how that works? Funny, n'est pas?), but no, I'm not really being sarcastic.

The 80's was a bad era for music. Just like the 60's. The 70's were great, and that's pretty much it.

Yes, the 80's had a lot of good music (as did the 60's), but mostly. it was crap. Real crap.

The 80's are like the Eagles. I fuckin' hate 'em. Both of them

Also, thankfully, I've never heard Norwegian hip-hop groups. I once heard Finnish pop. I was scarred for life...The horror...The horror.

Snatch and Lock Stock are ok flicks, pretty well-done overal and good acting. Nothing uber-special, though.

The Long Good Friday is the ultimate British gangster film, and probably the best gangster film around (yes, screw the Godfather in its large, black a-hole).

The '80s were mostly cheese, yeah, but cheese is good. Right? And some of it was really good stuff. The '90s were pretty much the same way, except replace "cheese" with "crap".

And while Snatch was a Pulp ripoff, it was done so well and with such energy and wit that you can't help but like it.

Gangster No. 1 was a pretty good movie I think.

As was Snatch and Lock Stock, but that's compared to the usual american crap we got here.

I like the 70's best.

Spazmo had a good list, I pretty much agree with him. Although he might have missed something here and there like Camel.

Indeed. I like '70s best also. '60s has some good stuff too (it brings out my inner hippie).

Snatch and Ocean's Eleven were both terrible. If you think otherwise, it's because you don't know any better. So stfu plz

PnP is fucking terrible, go fuck John with a pen or something ok?
/me stabs atoga with a blessed +10000000000000 fork of Die. atoga proceeds to post something "funny" and pwns
p.s. 60s and 70s and 80s sucked

90s sucked a bit too. Too colourful and tacky. This decade isn't so bad, but it's not hard to not...suck or something.

this century>last century. Though I think it'll slowly become pretty terrific (or moreso keke)

it doesn't really matter though, blaming the standard of your life because of the times you live in is a bit GAY lol

please enlighten us on your definition of a good movie then. and dont say the fucking matrix.

Well, if you weren't a total noob, you'd know how much of a movie d00d I was or something, but quite frankly, I'm not going to say some stuff about a formula that makes the 'good' movie, because there obviously is none. (The first Matrix I thought was pretty good as a genre movie, if boring in parts and a little full of itself, and the sequels were total shit). Anyway, if you knew what you were talking about - you'd know those two titles suck. Go do your reading (er, watching).

GimpMask wrote:p.s. 60s and 70s and 80s sucked

Alright, Lasse, so what's your decade of choice? Don't say the '90s or this decade. They aren't shitty, but I don't see how they could be better than the previous ones.

GimpMask wrote:PnP is fucking terrible, go fuck John with a pen or something ok?

Shut up. Most people play PNP differently (ie. they make it boring) from how I do. Just because John plays PnP doesn't mean that all people who play PnP are like John. Oh, and I bet all people who like Fallout are just like our friend Rex, too.

I think you're taking both Snatch and Ocean's Eleven too seriously. Both are larks, one better than the other on the Lark Scale (10 being a pure unfettered joy to watch, 1 being unworthy of any sort of attention, positive or negative). Some movies are just for fun and nothing more, some need to be appreciated more deeply. And some are only good drunk. (The only way to watch Wrong Turn, for example, is with a case of Corona Extra and red licorice for whipping at the TV whenever one of those silly young'uns Wanders Off In The Wrong Direction.)

And if anyone says this current musical decade is better than any previous decade, that person needs to be committed.

Anybody who assumes they know all genres of music at all times also should check into the goofy house. Maybe gimpmask likes different kinds of music than you? Maybe his preferred genre is doing just fine right now? MAYBE HUH?

Industrial in the 80's wasn't so hot. The early 90's were getting better, but the best Industrial as far as I'm concerned is coming out right at this very moment, so I agree wholeheartedly Spazmo. The "popular" music of each decade though, has always been pretty meh to me. I grew up with the 80's and early 90's though, so snythpop has been ingrained into my psyche, and I like it. 70's and 60's don't do a whole lot for me, and I find 90's pop retarded to the extreme.

I fully realize that. Even so, the two still make for shitty, boring movies. The other gripe is, they take themselves too seriously.

Speaking of 90s, the music from the Seattle area during that time is really good.

i need some new movies to watch so pick some from your infinate wisdom that you think i havent seen and thought was shit.

EDIT: if you say or even comment on the fact that you actually liked the Rocky Whore Picture Show you lose all movie credibility.

70s industrial with Cabaret Voltaire was good, skinny puppy in the 80s and nin/kmfdm in late 80s to present

but there's too many to list, velvet acid chrit, front line assembly, kidney thieves, lords of acid even?

What's so bad about Snatch and Lock Stock?
They were fun movies.

LED ZEPPLIN RULES!!! YEAA!!!

I just found my dad's awesome cd collection. Too bad I can't find those albums. He must've given them away.
I second those Pink Floyd ones, and I haven't really made much of a dent in it. I don't really like Alan Parson's Project or whatever it's called. It sounds a bit off. Just not my thing.
I'll probably read through this thread with all the cds spread on the floor and go on a listening binge.
