    Oh yeah, I also found Oculus to be more entertaining than it had any right to be. I really enjoyed the way the film was shot. So your the odd man out Greg.

    Casey, you are not alone in your Chappie love my friend. It’s #5 on my Letterboxd end of year list. Dan doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.

    Also, I anted to comment on the suggestion you mentioned a few weeks ago about possibly watching “The O.C.” this year. I am not ashamed to admit I loved that show and own the seasons on DVD. Yeah it’s a teen drama, but what you guys will get out of it is the IMO amazing soundtrack to the show. Every week they played bits from more than a few bands that were unknown to me at the time or just something I never gave a shit about. i.e., Spoon was introduced to me by this show. I think if you look at the Wiki on music featured in the show, you would be surprised. Anyway that’s just my input.

    Also, I’m not defending Blues, I like a small portion of what I’ve heard in the past. But I think it’s a valid point that when you say it’s all the same sounding shit, that’s exactly how I feel about “Punk” music with it’s 3 shitty chords. Now I’m not saying all Punk is terrible, but the larger portion of it I find brutal to listen to. I find that to all sound the same. I’m specifically speaking on older punk.
