  1. I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
  2. black panther - 8/10 thor ragnarok - 7.5/10 wonder woman - 8/10 spiderman homecoming - 8/10 the house - 7/10
  3. until they re-design the ground game to actually be fun, i'll skip this game every year. the transitions and submissions systems in the current and prior iterations are garbarge. grappling just isn't really something that's easily broken down into computer code, so i don't know if they'll ever manage to make it realistic or fun.
  4. i've been playing a lot of Destiny 2. i'll give it an 8/10. the campaign is fun but online co-op stuff (strikes, raids, events, etc) is what i spend the most time on. online multiplayer is great too, it plays very similar to halo (obviously) but with a much better weapons system and much better player customization, and it has the same basic game modes as call of duty.
  5. the AFC needs some better teams. watching the patriots in february is getting old.

  8. the end of the fucking world - 7.5/10 technically it's a series, but the total run time is only about 2.5 hours so it's basically a movie cut into pieces. interesting story and characters, good acting.
  9. yeah black mirror is awesome. i haven't finished this season yet, but it's a consistently great show. although, my favorites are definitely from the earlier episodes (15 million merits, white christmas, and the national anthem) the fate of the furious - 2/10 terrible movie, way too over the top, horrible script and worse dialogue. it's probably great if you're 11 or 12, but anyone else should skip it.
  10. i only watched the first half of the vikings/saints game yesterday, and had the rest on my dvr. i almost just deleted it this morning instead of watching it, but i put it on while i was making coffee and ended up "quick-watching" the rest (used the 30-second fast-forward on my remote between every play so i only saw the plays and not the commentary/etc in between). what a great second half! i was rooting against the vikings, since i'm a packer fan and their cheap-shot on rodgers caused the pack to miss the playoffs. on the bright side, now they are set up for even greater disappointment when they lose in the nfc championship game or the super bowl.
  11. football. every game (regular season and playoffs) actually matters, there are no second chances. never listen to music again, OR never watch tv again?
  12. stranger things (although i only saw the first couple episodes of eureka; i couldn't get into it) fish tacos OR fish and chips?
  13. right now it's 64 degrees and there's a light rain. pray for me...
  14. yeah that show was awesome, can't wait for the next season. the guy who played ed kemper was great, such a creepy/weird/interesting/evil dude.
  15. the take: 7/10 i like idris alba, and it's a pretty good action movie. pretty boilerplate though, as far as action movies where the bad guys are dirty cops.
  16. star wars: the last jedi - 7.5/10 some good action scenes, and daisy ridley is beautiful, but the story/script was a bit of a letdown. i was expecting more. i went to a 10:45pm showing on a tuesday in an XD assigned seat (luxury recliners) theater for the main intent of hoping the rest of the crowd wouldn't have many people talking, but there were a couple 8-10 year-olds in my row that wouldn't shut the fuck up "oh i bet he's gonna use the force here", "oh i bet he's gonna die", "oh i bet he's not really dead", blah blah blah. fuckin' a.
  17. listened to the new eminem album. a bit disappointing, i only like maybe 5 or 6 songs, at most
