    @GoldenGun I am glad!

    @Torgeirtrap Better than a cover, here is good old Georges himself, with English subtitles. His song Le testament, with an intro about the creative process. He was a true poet:

    Grunge ruined rock music. Kurt Cobain had little talent and was a poor mans Jim Morrison.

    Agreed, I heard Light my Fire on the radio at work today and so I had to respond. Although rock is still alive in pockets here and there, I like it fused with other genres.

    But there is still Pearl Jam and they are still very good. But on Kurt I guess he died on time and becoming an "Icon" because his further output would probably amount to less. And I would like to add that I do enjoy the Foo Fighters which was also the talent of Nirvana.

    I actually prefer Foo Fighters to Nirvana, as I find Dave Grohl to be a better musician than Kurt Cobain was. Foo Fighters are very "commercial" though, but I don't mind.

    When it comes to the 90s, I prefer Oasis, Green Day, and R.E.M. Especially Oasis. I'm kind of a fanatic.

    Don't mind a bit of Oasis myself! Great band.

    My Controversial opinions about things I notice in life:
    1. The biggest risk that Marvel Studios movies make is introducing new characters that would never have seen a movie without prior help.
    2. Scarlett Johansson can't act. Seriously, she almost always has the same facial expression. She also steals roles meant for minorities. She doesn't deserve a her own Black Widow movie.
    3. Harry Potter fans are the worst. They criticize people who don't memorize all things related to Harry Potter. The whole story itself repeats more than people realize.
    4. I would like to see a 007 novel adapted that's not by Fleming. For Special Services, Never Dream of Dying, Icebreaker, The Man With The Red Tattoo and Carte Blanche would be my top 5 choices. Without Neal Purvis and Robert Wade is the only way I want this to happen.
    5. M.A.S.H. and The Big Bang Theory are the two most overrated TV comedies of all time. They are so over syndicated, I can't even watch TV anymore.
    6. Going back to the football comments, I agree wholeheartedly with everyone and everything. People take it too seriously, and they yell and get drunk, and depressed about it.
    Just my big things that I notice in life, in particularly recently.

    What roles did Scarlett Johansson steal?

    In Ghost in the Shell, she took the lead role, who is actually meant to be Asian. She also took a new role about being transgender, which isn't right for both roles. She was also not originally cast as Black Widow, that was originally Emily Blunt.
    Three more I want to add:
    1. Dwayne the Rock Johnson is in too much promotion material. Is he really that good of a actor that he deserves the front and center of every movie he makes?
    2. It would not be hard to make as many Indiana Jones movies as James Bond ones. Keep the formula, find an artifact, set in any time, and you could have as many adventures as James Bond. The only real challenge is moving past Harrison Ford.
    3. The reason that Superman movies haven't done well post Superman 2 is the firing of Richard Donner, and the makers not using new villains from the comics. We should have had Brainiac and Metallo by now, seriously.

    I think this is a good thing because James Gunn can't write jokes, at least varying them up for everyone. The first Guardians of the Galaxy movie is the most overrated comic book movie ever.

    I didn t even bother with the second, the first was crap.

    Why don't they check things like that beforehand? Old tweets etc. is bound to surface eventually.

    James Gunn voiced his opinion on EVERYTHING on his social media, particularly Twitter. He tried to always play the nice guy, but that backfired now. Plus he ruined live action Scooby Doo movies for more than a decade by writing the potty humored screenplays. It's been said once, and I'll say it again: be careful what you post on social media, it can come back to haunt you!

    I know but we're all because of a love of James Bond at the end of it all.

    That doesn t stop some people from moving around on their chairs, breathing heavily, when others have an opinion they don t approve of.

    I know. It hurts because some people can never be happy unless they hurt someone.

    Indeed it can!
    Though the name James Gunn sounded familiar, but couldn't place it. Now that you mentioned the live action Scooby Doo films, I remembered who he is! Liked the Scooby Doo films at the time, but I doubt they've held up well. Rowan Atkinson was the bad guy in the first one, wasn't he?

    Yes he was! They honestly haven't, just watch the cartoons instead.

    You think it's bad enough here? Try disagreeing with Star Wars or Harry Potter fans on boards like these. There's NO winning with them, as they have every single detail memorized in their brains above all else.

    Try Star Trek forums, it's like debating politics where both sides are equally toxic. One time I was told I advocate racism and harassment towards women because I liked the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies. :O
