PT Rethink Your Life: A New Hope - PT Social Thread

Youthshaming.

You could hit play on the screen above too.

 

yeah but it would sound like **** through my pc

 

I hope you unearth your Ummagumma one day, Frank.

 

and I'm listening to this right now...

 

Exactly. This is a Star Wars fan site after all.

 

That sounds like a good time. Though half the time it seems like a "one hit wonder" is someone I have four albums by.

 

I have four James albums.

 

Reminds me of another song



Bowling for Soup-core. Whatever, same era.

 

Actually no, I'm not joking. I was collecting a lot of music in the mid to late nineties.

 

Love that song. It's truly amazing how great that song is.

 

They only made the one album, didn't they? But yes I have it. That song was OUR SONG, man.

 

Wow. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the best movie that I have seen this year!

Spoiler

Just saw the film! I was excited for DMTNT, but I didn't think it would be this good. It hit all my expectations for a Pirates movie and even surpassed them. The last movie that had me experience so many emotions at a theater like this was Rogue One!

- I laughed (a lot)
- I cried (Barbossa you are freaking boss, a true pirate)
- I cringed (Jack Sparrow's drunken behavior, lol)
- I grinned (a ton)
- I had a great nostalgic feeling (from seeing Will, the Dutchman, the Pearl, and Elizabeth)
- I cheered (when the Pearl came back and when the credits played)
- The movie gave a sense of fulfillment (it really felt like the producers were trying to end the series but also tell an interesting story)
- Digging into Jack's backstory was really cool

Geoff Zanelli, one of Hans Zimmer's proteges, did great work on the soundtrack. The Brethren Court theme was brought back, as was Will's theme!

Honestly, I think this movie may be my second favorite Pirates movie. I can't believe I like it better than Dead Man's Chest, I didn't think this movie would break into the top tier (DMC, AWE) but it did! What an emotional rollercoaster and a great finale to the Pirates series.

Also, a playful message for the critics:

 

I remember they were on a couple soundtracks/compilations. One of 'em was a Misty Mtn. cover.

 

Yeah I just saw that. Live albums are often a marginal category though, especially if you only have one studio release.
That's my defense and I'm sticking to it.

 

The one I posted was CIS Droid

 

Was that on Encomium? It's hilarious how hyped that album was, and then in its wake tribute albums filled with artists you'd never heard of became de rigueur for virtually *every* classic band, and some not so classic.

 

Now this I can get on board with

 

Hopefully not classed as a one hit wonder.
