- I saw him as the support act on Supergrass's farewell tour a few years back and thinking surely that's the wrong way round. -- nm - LMS Mar 26, 03:37

  - I know of them (mostly thanks to jnine) but not much about them. I did see them recently on an old episode of Top Chef(!) and they seemed like a fun group. -- (edited) - Meg Mar 25, 21:19

  - According to one of the articles the Foo debut album was basically just Dave Grohl. It was the second album where he decided to get a band. - ty97 Mar 25, 20:49 2
    - Its hard to fill stadiums as a one man rock band - zeitgeist Mar 25, 22:12

      - It won't be good no matter what. -- nm - loosilu Mar 26, 06:54
    - he lived a 'hard' first 35 or so years. -- nm - Remlik Mar 25, 20:52

"ultimately, all death is heart failure" -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 25, 20:27
I've now actually seen one of this year's best pic noms! And I can say that West Side Story... is a movie that exists. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 25, 20:22 16
- OKL, so, I have a fundamental problem with it, which is that it's about Puerto Rican immigration. Puerto Ricans are Americans. They cannot immigrate. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 20:37 11
  - fun fact: the original story was about jews from lithuania and russia -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 25, 22:15 1
    - It was about a couple of kids from two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona... -- nm - . Mar 26, 02:51

    - If they move to the 48 states, they can vote. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 20:48 1
      - Not make them 'Muricans, that don't! (NM) - Joe Bob Racist Mar 25, 21:03
  - It's brown people moving into a white city. Racists don't care about such linguistic technicalities. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 25, 20:43 1
    - It's this. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 20:49
  - I think you are getting hung up on a (albeit correct) technicality here. The experience, especially perhaps in that era, was like immigrating.... -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 25, 20:39 3
    - is it the same? they can't get deported. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 20:47 2
      - Legally? No. Socially? Yeah, there's a fuckton of prejudice and bigotry. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 25, 20:49 1
        
        Yeah, I've seen it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 20:53
- Might be the role as Tony wasnt exactly all that in the 61 version - JD Mar 25, 20:30 3
  - Technically he did sing. Not particularly well or with with anything approaching emotional resonance, but yes he sang. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 25, 20:35 1
    - I'm pretty sure that both of the 61 leads had their singing dubbed. Natalie Wood definitely was -- nm* - JD Mar 25, 21:00
  - Not getting Ryan Gosling was a classic mistake. Spielberg always casts leading men that he thinks looks like him -- nm - Flavorize Mar 25, 20:34
