This verse alone introduced the world to Busta Rhymes

Look this had been well dunked on but it's worth highlighting that "old films" (and also "foreign films," which these types also hate) are, you know, the vast majority of movies. Why limit yourself so severely?
i hate when people act like watching older movies automatically makes their taste superior.

and i actually did quit Twitter two years ago but then the boss was like "make sure you do some label promo online or something" so now i'm back on here on the alt account pretending it doesn't count if i only smoke one a day (AKA only follow twelve people)

Citizen Kane is famous for it's "deep focus," a sort of visual glitch caused by using too narrow of a lens aperture. If it was made today, a more modern shallow depth of field would help audiences to know exactly where they should be looking.

Every day there are articles about plummeting movie theater attendance, cratering musician income, and overall decline in everything that isn't short-form mindless slop. If your idea is that text needs to have free short-form slop... I have great news about the site you're on.
Publishers killed reading by successfully killing e-books. Book reading has declined as every other type of entertainment has gotten cheaper and more convenient and books never were allowed to

this Beach Boys "news" reminds me, I'm making a list of what i call "Ship of Theseus Bands," where there's no one single person who was a member of the band all the way from the beginning to the breakup or the present day (not counting bands that broke up and then reunited later)
RIP beach boys you taught me it was ok to get around

…before you nitpick, Mike might have been the last remaining Beach Boy, but he temporarily walked out during the recording of "Smile." so he wasn't there for the full run. similarly, Ralf was absent for that early-70s era of Kraftwerk that was just Florian with Rother and Dinger

… waaaay in the lead in this contest, we have Napalm Death: between recording the A-side and the B-side of their first album, they replaced everyone but the drummer. then he quit the band in 1991 because had tinnitus. Napalm Death have had like a 300% turnover rate at this point

so annoying that Instagram automatically adds a random song to your "story" and i can't find any way to manually prevent it from doing this. probably i've been accidentally letting this happen forever and never noticing because every non-iTunes app is always muted

how is Instagram somehow a worse website than this one? why is the annoying secondary feature that Instagram added to be more like TikTok somehow the main space left in which to tell anyone about local DIY events? i hate it here

every month i'm redownloading the stupid app to my phone and posting a stupid "story" and then immediately deleting the stupid app off my phone again, all just to convince 15 people to show up to the noise show instead of 5 people
