    The Green Knight (2020)

    Plus its anime, so every character ends up as an old businessman reincarnated into the body of a 13 year old girl.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    Lots of ethnic Germans, but they are mostly drawn from neighboring (read white) regions that originated from the same people in the distant past. Jews on the other hand, are the vaguest group as it can refer to race, culture, or religion. It can refer to any combination of the three. And it...

    Ladysmith Black Mambazo School of Music

    PS- Ozzy, Plant, and Daltry also were phenomenal writers with strong voices. That's a better barometer for greatness as a singer, I think. But again, some of the most prolific lead singers in music history were also instrumentalists (even Freddy was a great keyboardist) so there is something...

    There are clearly some rappers/hip hoppers who are better than others (usually the white ones LOL), but unless you want to roll funk in there (and again Chilli Peppers were as good as anyone despite being honkies), I would put the most talented hip hop/rap person ever to exist up against the...

    I maintain that rap/hip hop are shit because any one (black white straight gay whatever) with a fucking electronic music creation software setup and a chip on their shoulder can craft that shit. I again refer to Rockin the Suburbs as a biting commentary on this. The idea that blacks created...

    Are we already to the part where you jerk yourself off and declare you owned someone? Because trying to have a reasonable discussion with you is boring the shit out of me. Spamming out musical expressions like buzzwords might impress your YouTube manhands bass channel's dozen followers, but it...

    @Manessa Asians had a five note scale until they did what asians do, namely copy what the round eyes did and made vast technical improvements on it, particularly when it comes to orchestration. And yes, Mars IS the most boring piece from the standpoint of being a musician performing it. Three...

    Not to take the bait, but Mars is arguably the most boring movement. Saturn is my favorite because of the ethereal style of it being unique, especially for the era it was composed. But if you want to talk Mars, the part with the third motiff (starts in the Euphonium and French Horns)...

    No one alive is going to defend Disco or MC Hammer style rap. Not even black people. I agree with a lot of your points but a lot of the good music you cite is by groups that have been around a long ass time. There is no new blow the doors off people groups coming out today revolutionizing...

    No he was an actual talented black musician. But the reality is once you master an instrument, its pretty easy to be competent at the variants. If you can play a double reed instrument, you can pretty much do well with any reed based woodwind (flute is another animal). Brass instruments, if...

    Ladysmith Black Mambazo School of Music

    Your contention is that blacks invented jazz, blues, and gospel music whole cloth without any prior influences? The magic dirt just taught them how to blow a horn and do four part harmony? Or are you saying that modern black music is equal or superior to all prior forms of music? I just...

    Fuck off attention whore. Let this be an object lesson of what happens when someone gives you any ground. And yeah I was a music major with intentions of being a band director educator at one point. At my peak I was constantly composing and arranging for groups, as well as playing over a...

    I personally rate Rise and Fall above Days go By, but that I agree is a matter of taste. And my point is that, no music (from a mechanical standpoint) is not that different from 20-30 years ago. There is more digital aspects to all of it (I am old enough to remember Quadrophonic being a failed...

    Hip hop is the modern version of Wakandans banging rocks together and chanting, just computers have replaced the rocks. Changemymindmeme Ben Folds even wrote a song about white people doing the same shit:

    I bet anything you dig up would be almost entirely pop music, which as stated has always been shit. What you will otherwise find in all those eras (but not so much today) is a lot more variety and musical depth. I can name five different songs from different genres that almost everyone would...

    There are bands that are making entertaining and skilled material, they are just few and far between. Radiohead used to be on that list, but they crawled too far up their own asses since In Rainbows. Muse got too preachy, but their last albumn seems back on track. Queens of the Stone Age and...

    The day hip hop can do something as intricate as the odd time signatures employed in progressive, psychodelic, or even stoner rock (QotSA ftw), it will be one step closer to something not shit. Speaking as a musician, hip hop music is like playing chopsticks when everyone else is doing the Rite...

    As much as I love dogpiling on Manessa, he is actually right about the music stuff. Africans got a head start, simply by existing first, but never got past the banging on shit and simple repetitive chant harmonies. Greeks had scales worked out, along with basic time signatures and structure...

    Nier Automata

    Spent a week chewing through this on PS4, including getting all five endings (one new one in the Replicant Remaster). Game is just plain fun and unique and the music in surround is fucking amazing. It is not for everyone, but this game has held up pretty good for being an action RPG from ten...

    We dropped it. We are only halfway through the first game and have tons of other great games (without wokeism in them) to play, anyhow. If it winds up somehow not being the Last of Us 2 of board games, we will scoop it up later. But for now, we are not contributing to this horse shit anymore...

    The answer to this question is yes. Because you know you fucked up, even if no one else does. How you process that speaks to one's character.

    The D&D thread

    Get the retro versions of games and play those instead. Every version of ADnD since 3.5 has been shit anyhow.

    Yeah Adepts make Insanity a near cake walk for experienced players, up to the moment the game starts spamming sync killers in ME3. Infiltrators, if you are good, can faceroll the whole game too. And Biotics really don't get shit on at harder difficulties, but you basically have to hand tool...

    Consider yourself smart on that. Isaac, the main designer just read off a Marxist manifesto about hiring a "Diversity Sensitivity Specialist" to help him make the story less harmful to the SJW snowflakes. I am not kidding. Wife was bitching about WokeHaven all day, though the thread was...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I was referring to the original ST movie with the original cast. V'Ger was literally a complete ripoff of the episode Changeling done by the writer with his own characters inserted into the story. It is unquestionably the worst Trek movie out there.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Can't speak to ME1 since the system was so vastly different, but for ME2 and 3, Sentinal and Straight up Biotic were safe options, just much more tedious particularly once you up the difficulty. Vanguard was pretty much a face roll in both games, up until the 6 Banshee bullshit right before the...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Mordin, Legion, and Thane all got pretty good closure in ME3. The rest of ME2 specific cast was pretty forgettable. ME1 really only the humans were dull as fuck, the rest of the characters had great arcs across the entire series. If they had not fucked up turning the prothean into DLC, he...

    To have "wrecked me over the years" I would have had to know who you are, first of all. I have been posting on this forum since the NOOWS days under the same name the entire time. I didn't even see your posts until about 2-3 years ago. And on the topic of superiority, the only thing you have...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    PS- Star Trek the motionless picture was basically given the Ryan Johnson treatment. The writer did not want to make a start trek movie, but his own story. So we got the bald chick and the young dude using Star Trek as a wrapper to sell his boring ass shit. Probably the first time that...

    Johnson got TLJ because he bowed down to the Kathleen Kennedy Klan, who were all over the top wokesters right down to her "story authorization team" of millennials. Looper was good on first watch but does not hold up well. He gets hard pass from me forever after TLJ so I have not seen Knives...

    Fury Road, John Wick, F is for Family, The Ranch, Wolf of Wallstreet, and like anything prior to 2000 was written without much if any SJW presence in the creative end. If you really want to see how the mind virus took root in real time, just compare season one (and most of two) of the Flash...
