Taika Waititi recommended Badlands (1973) in Movies (curated)

 
Badlands (1973)
Badlands (1973)
1973 | Crime, Drama

"I’m sort of torn on my last film between Badlands and Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore. I’m on the fence — I love both of those films. Badlands, for me, is a very important film because I feel like a lot of the time it’s the kind of film I would love to make, if I could just make one. It’s so small, but really perfect. I think another great example of a film, which is like a second film, that people don’t think about, is Days of Heaven, which is again another flawless film. His use of voice over is the best out of any filmmaker. Linda Manz, her voiceover, nothing can beat it, you know. I always think that if there’s a voiceover in a film, it’s gotta be like that, where it?s not telling you what’s happening, it’s talking about completely different things. It’s incredible."

Noel Gallagher recommended The Wall by Pink Floyd in Music (curated)

 
The Wall by Pink Floyd
The Wall by Pink Floyd
1979 | Rock

"When I left school, The Wall was the pothead’s album. Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here I maybe overplayed but The Wall I could never get tired of. That track ‘Nobody Home’ just brings back so many memories for me. After leaving school, I just used to go round my mates house, skin up, and we’d listen to this. Happy, carefree days. I met Dave Gilmour once at an industry thing and I think I pissed him off. I said to him, 'Dave, I think The Wall is your best album but my wife won’t have it, she prefers listening to Meddle.' And he said, 'Well, clearly your wife has impeccable taste where you have little. I suggest you listen to her.' I was like, 'What the fuck are you talking about? She hasn’t got a clue! Get out of it…'"

Phillip Sandifer has a sound that is both polished and a little bit unfettered. With a career like his, it's easy to wonder if he's talking about himself with his single Seen Too Much.

Phillip was born in Baltimore, Maryland but moved to Texas as a young man. He can take credit for 22 top 40 Adult Contemporary songs. He has made recordings for a number of different labels, including Disney Records. With Seen Too Much, he makes a much needed statement about cognitive dissonance in society today and maybe clears the air a bit for those of us paying attention.

“I ain’t sleeping well, there just too much wrong
won’t someone help me with an honest song”
— Phillip Sandifer

I think perhaps we have all seen a bit too much in these last few years. I'm glad there are people writing about it.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
1977 | Fantasy, Sci-Fi
The one that started it all. This film revolutionized cinema in more ways that likely any other film before it, or after.

While the base of the story is a worn one, the telling of this story is what sets it apart and makes it legendary.

We are introduced to a world (nee, universe) created in the mind of George Lucas that he unabashedly shared with a world that didn't know they wanted, and in some cases, needed it.

The fact that over forty years later we are still talking about this movie and it maintains relevance rather than just being nostalgic speaks volumes to the impact it has had on everything around it.

Though I figure there aren't too many folks who haven't already seen this epic, if you are one of the hold outs, knock it off. See the movie. It's better than you have been told.
