  1. I actually kind of feel the opposite. Their solo careers to me were their flaws that they compensated to diminish when together suddenly put out in the open. John was always so in your face, Paul started getting too sentimental (that John would hold in check in the 60s), and George/Ringo would occasionally have a banger or two, but overall just weren't on the level of Lennon/McCartney. That being said, I did give Live and Let Die an 8. I was never a huge fan of the Traveling Wilburys, so I went 6. There are better Lennon songs. 4 for Beautiful Boy.
  2. That's the main thing to remember is that this movie started as a stage show with a live audience to interact with. The movie obviously lacks the direct interaction aspect, but a large group watching the same thing has an energy that sitting at home in your Laz-E-Boy doesn't. Unless you're drunk enough.
  3. Trump can't pay the piper. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/18/politics/trump-464-million-dollar-bond/index.html "Former President Donald Trump can’t find an insurance company to underwrite his bond to cover the massive judgment against him in the New York attorney general’s civil fraud case, his lawyers told a New York appeals court. Trump’s attorneys said he has approached 30 underwriters to back the bond, which is due by the end of this month. “The amount of the judgment, with interest, exceeds $464 million, and very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. (Trump himself was ordered to pay $454 million; the $464 million includes the disgorgement for his adult sons Don Jr. and Eric.) An insurance broker, Gary Giulietti, who testified for Trump during the civil fraud trial, signed an affidavit stating that securing a bond in the full amount “is a practical impossibility.” Potential underwriters are seeking cash to back the bond, not properties, according to Trump’s lawyers." Probably because his properties are all leveraged beyond the breaking point.
  4. Seriously. A former president got slammed for $355 million dollars for basically what Code Monkey just described.
  5. Half past (((6^2 - 24) + 20) / (3 + 1)) + (25 % 2) - (10 // 3).
  6. I was thinking of that, too, but it might get kind of clunky if you're trying for a unique equation for each one.
  7. I haven't, but it does look like a lot of the improvements over the original are in both games.
  8. Burgertime Deluxe on Game Boy. I know it's kind of a Donkey Kong 94 situation, but it's closer to the original Burgertime than DK 94 is to DK. The music is better, the levels have more variety, and the controls are much smoother.
  9. It's one of those that's better in the movie theatre at midnight with a bunch of rowdy fans that know the cues to do the wacky stuff than home viewing.
  10. I love Schumer there going, "Well, sucks to be you, Mitch."
  11. *finding that www.megamansage.com is registered to Code Monkey*
  12. *initiating forum name change to www.megamansage.com*
  13. 6s all around. Occasional listen. I loved Frankie Valli when I first got into classic rock n roll, but not so much today. Nothing against him and the music, just kind of moved on.
  14. Yeah, Dave or Optout are in Taiwan, so they may know of some. Not sure about Tanooki. He's a Famicom fan, but he lived in Kentucky, last I heard.
  15. Yeah, the bootleg situation kind of scared me off of buying one half a world away. Doesn't help that Recca uses the most common Famicom cart shell and label shapes. I know the OP wanted the original, but you can get NES reproductions for $30 all day long. Some might even be the "Recca Pure" version that lets you play the second quest hard mode and the Zanki Attack mode right from the menu, rather than inputting codes.
  16. I guess they decided they were out of the news cycle too long. Gotta get in quick before the election shit show.
  17. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five are kind of an artifact of the 80s, especially the "message" stuff that was in vogue at the time, hence the title. I prefer White Lines and some of their later stuff. Never been a huge Bruno Mars fan. I think I hear people quoting lines of his stuff more than his actual music.
  18. Reed sets his polls up where you have to vote on every entry.
  19. Yeah, we need to take the absurdity to its limits.
