Noel Gallagher on Morrissey and Marr (Bournemouth Echo)

Words: Morrissey, Music: Gallagher. Why not? Sounds like a good idea to me.

I agree. I wasn't trying to put Oasis on the same level as MJ or Elvis. That would be preposterous (and I'm a fan of Oasis as well).

i agree with your sentiments as i just like what i like. i was raised on the beatles the dead a bunch of jazz and blues obscure blue grass pop folk etc and i love all of it. i love the beatles and they sold tons. so did the sex pistols who were also a great agit pop band "using" the record company who by way employ many who are effect by what happens to the company but have nothing to do with the "evil" decisions it makes. love the first three pil albums as well and a bunch of american hardcore bands im guessing no one here has heard of that have never been written about (maybe jason does). i love bands like the replacements who were nobodies and then somebodies and i loved them when they were both. my only allegiance when it comes to music is to myself and my ear my feelings as long as it or they dont violate my overall ethical code which i live everyday by. the problem i see with peoples ideas with moz and chart positions is that they seem to view it only in dichotomous extremes. they either mean everything or shouldnt mean anything to him but maybe they just mean something, and i think they do to everyone who tries to sell music through traditional channels. if i had a record chart id be happy and tell people, if it didnt i might be a bit sad but hardly devastated. when i think of some of the times, such as when hand in glove could have gotten higher in the charts which would have given them more early press more cash to tour on and just a shot in the arm of confidence for slight insecure first timers, it seem to be rather anger at the company and i can see why if its do to them not even being able to produce said record to meet sales and not it just charting at what it does producing sour grapes with the record buying public

Don't tell me what to do or what to like. I am not stopping you from following like a blind cattle. I am just expressing my opinion.

To acknowledge greatness in more than one area is not blind following, it's being a music fan. You are not a music fan, you are blindly following some contrived idea you (or your friends) have put in your head.

And I would so like to know what films you enjoy (and don't go googling any directors now!). I bet you're one of those who claim to like obscure cinema and when asked to name a few you say Inception, Memento, Shawshank Redemption or some other Hollywood bullshit.

Ketamine: Agree!

O, do go stuff yourself Gregor. I actually can't find people who are capable to discuss the music I listen, the books I read and the films I watch, because they are not familiar with them. It's actually very dulling to come to work on Monday and try to listen to my co-workers quacking about the latest Star Wars crap they just saw over the weekend.

That hardly counts as a reply to what I wrote.

Top 5 favorite films? Genuine answer now. Films you've seen and enjoyed. No googling obscure titles you haven't seen.

hmm tops are always tough but i dont google as i dont care if theyre obscure or not, i just like what i like but ok.


city of god (i also thought city of men, the lesser known one made excellent use of stock footage to connect the two films even though it was made later and is a companion film)

science of sleep

rushmore (this one is also kinda personal as maybe favorite cinema should be as it changed my life at the right time)

mulhulland drive

barton fink

the top three are always the same but i love film and could name a bunch of obscure stuff if i cared to but these movies mean the most to me. to do a top three i feel i need to name the ones that mean the most to me even if i could name some the cabinet for it use of a totally surreal self made set, or the first animation made with shadow puppets (cant remember the name off hand, or life is beautiful just for the harrowing message of self saving willpower etc. i could name breakthroughs in cinema from the french renaissance in the sixities to the hitchcock technical masterpieces like rope or something like m or vice for there just sheer brilliance but these five mean the most to me when all things are considered and weighed

I fail to connect these with your "I loathe anything that is big and/or known" schtick. These are all well known and pretty broad films. Good, though (as it's not mutually exclusive, as we've already established).

couldnt you just link the quote in your post because when i clicked on that it seemed to bring up the whole thread again which seemed sorta redundant and almost like click bait and pointless imo. im not a very techy guy so if i was supposed to be able to see what you meant it was hard for me to tell so perhaps its just me. if you mean am i the person who made this post whom you were also talking with

"I am not impressed by the sales figures at all. I also don't like Elvis' music, nor M.J's, nor Prince, nor Madonna, nor all the BIG names. I always loved the underdogs. And it makes me feel good about myself that I don't fall into the category of the majority, the mainstream listener. The same can also be applied to what I watch and read."

then no that is not me

That link leads directly to a specific post. Easy as 1-2-3...

But if it's not you, then carry on, and sorry to bother you!

you apology is accepted as if its the post i quoted that you meant then no its not nor was it me. the link took me to the bottom of the page so i just guessed that was what you meant as ive never seen anyone do that. usually i just see people use the reply with quote function or just copy and paste so something new did confuse me even if its as easy as 1-2-3. look ill just avoid conversation with you in the future and and we can just both be satisfied

I am not playing this game with you. You seem like you have the claws out to scratch at anything I might find valuable. I watch Eastern and North European movies (titles and directors you probably have never heard of). Now YOU go google it.

It is so hard to just name 5 movies that Gregor might approve of. Is that what this thread is about? I saw a gay porn version of Star Wars that I thought was just excellent. I never really liked hairy guys before but the scene with Chewbacca, Han, and Luke was so good even before C3p0 joined in. Who knew he had those attachments?

 

[nicky wire's legs]

isnt anyone gonna ask me to name my top 5 favourite movies?! *waiting*

oh.... okay, fine

Are ya scared? I'm actually starting to think we like the same kind of films. Unless, of course, it's just a facade for you. An image (I of course can find value in both, let's say, Dreyer AND Ghostbusters because I don't subscribe to any contrived ideology).
