  1. I've seen on the news that Uber is often half the price of a normal taxi but take twice as long to get to your destination as they don't know shortcuts/detours nearly as well.

  2. Bear in mind I'm not a guitar player, but I honestly don't think Robin's solos on tracks like Better, SOD, or TWAT sound radically different from Slash's playing style or even his guitar tone on the classic albums. For example, if I had very limited knowledge of Guns' and someone played me the Yesterdays solo and the Better solo back-to-back, I honestly would probably be hard-pressed to differentiate them as being from 2 different guitarists.

    I primarily bring this up because since Robin was in Guns' fans have often mentioned how different his playing style is from Slash and that he brought a major industrial edge to Guns' unlike anything on the classic albums. Perhaps I'm hard of hearing, but as I said, I don't find his solos radically different from anything I'd expect from Slash. For example, how radically different would a Slash solo on Better or TWAT sound from what Robin recorded? Am I the only one who feels this way?

  3. No way is the 2nd film better than the 3rd. John Woo's film style has aged terribly and the acting and script for that film are horrific.

    III was just a bad script. Horrible dialog. II just flowed better and even if Woo's style can easily be made fun of, it was a lot more entertaining than Abram's early 2000's television style of directing.

    I disagree completely. III has a badass rescue mission within the first 20 minutes, an awesome mole inside the IMF sideplot, Phillip Seymour Hoffman as a pretty solid villain, and a decent ending. All II has going for it is that John Woo made Thadie Newton look as hot as humanly possible.

    The cast makes it work. That whole team work thing. If I can recall, Ethan Hunt was kind of solo in II?

    No, but his supporting cast aside from Ving Rhames is entirely forgettable.

  4. Beyond Thunderdome is the only one worth watching.

    Its one of my favorite movies from growing up. Not sure whey so many shit on it.

    I can only speak for myself but after Road Warrior it was kinda a letdown with the whole Peter Pan blue lagoon tribe, the MTV look complete with Tina Turner (ugh) and for me it just doesn't have the intensity nor pacing the previous two movies had (nor the excellent music by Brian May, the composer not the guitarist of Queen). I guess it is still enjoyable on some levels but I never got into it as much as I did with the others, and most definitely not as I did with Fury Road.

    I agree. The Road Warrior is dark and compelling like Empire Strikes Back while Beyond Thunderdome is cheesy and overwrought like Return of the Jedi.
