It’s an amusing joke.

If Full House has proven anything, it’s that there’s nothing funny about a family who cares about each other.

Perfect example. See, it’s funny because he hates his wife and his kids and his life. So funny!

It’s kinda funny. Or at least I thought it was when I was growing up. I don’t really remember it very well.

What’s wrong with Married with Children? It’s been years since I’ve seen it, but I seem to remember it being very well liked, at least in America anyway.

Star Wars
Empire/Jedi
Phantom Menace
Revenge of the Sith

Public torrent exists, look up Return of the Jedi Harmy on kat.cr its literally one of the first results.

I would post a link but since people of this site deem links to be the root of evil, birthplace of Satan and Justin Bieber’s tour finale, I won’t.

Oh shut up!

I think that’s the case. A lot of fans prefer the mono of the earlier releases (except for the White Album) because they were mixed with mono in mind specifically while the stereo albums were done as a bit of an afterthought. The Beatles and George Martin focused on the mono mixes, and had little or nothing to do with the stereo until the White Album

This is the best alternate George Lucas storyline.

Shame on me but I haven’t listened to the albums proper all the way through enough to make a list that I feel confident in (I could probably more easily list my 50 or so favorite songs). Here’s my definite favorites, though (order flexible):

Abbey Road
Revolver
Sgt. Pepper
The White Album
A Hard Day’s Night

Feel free to discuss any Beatle-related lists or comments! I started it mostly just to see other fans’ opinions, but I think it’d be cool to have any manner of Beatles discussion in this thread.

I tend to prefer their early stuff - so many rich harmonies and a steady stream of amazing compositions. I may be the only person on Earth who doesn’t care for Sgt Pepper - it’s my least favorite Beatles album.

May I ask what your opinion of Rubber Soul is then? That’s an interesting bridge between their early work and the Revolver/Sgt. Pepper phase.

Ok. But I only said that after enduring two aggressive replies from Frink. And at the beginning I did try to nicely point out the joke despite hostile treatment.

Fair enough. There’s just an air of conceit about a lot of your posts that makes people jump to conclusions when it pops up.

In 2009 there was a real remastering of all the albums in stereo. Before that audiophiles basically avoided all Beatles CDs and Casettes at all costs, and stuck to old LPs and bootlegs.

I didn’t intend to paint anyone as a victim. It’s a thread about Batman. I just meant that you saying that you were too complex for Frink to understand is what ruined the joke. There are no victims, no lives were ruined.

Great album. I’ve probably listened to side 1 into the 100s of times.

WHAT?!?! YOU DON’T LIKE THE BEATLES!??!?!?!?!?!

…

Honestly, I think they’re good, but somewhat overrated. And I don’t like Lennon.

I actually think they’re properly rated, I just don’t care for their style of music.

I agree. Overrated is an inaccurate term since it’d be tough to find even just a few successful musicians that were not influenced by, or directly ripping off, the Beatles.

Couldn’t agree more. Who’s Next was also a life changing rock & roll moment for me, along with Tommy and the Who Sell Out.

Another album I’d like to throw in as one of the greatest of all time is Blondie’s Parallel Lines; it’s an album I can never get tired of. It’s very dark, and pretty morbid at times (specifically on Picture This & One Way or Another), which makes it even better. I always loved how the album version of Heart of Glass ended with the lyric “Once had a love and it was a gas / Soon turned out, to be a pain in the ass”. It’s funny, but also a very nice arc to the song’s narrative.

I love the mono Sgt. Pepper

I just listened to But Seriously, Folks… by Joe Walsh and it is absolutely fantastic. I don’t know how I’ve made it this long without hearing it, but I recommend anyone who hasn’t heard it yet to listen to it immediately.

I’m in favor of gay marriage, but I am against the absurdity of fining a business over 100,000 dollars for not wanting to cater/photograph a gay wedding.

Going along with the recent group of ranking threads I though I’d start one that I’m really curious to hear people’s opinions of on here. I’m excluding the Capitol releases and just focusing on what Apple Corp. considers their “official canon”, meaning the UK releases and US Magical Mystery Tour. Past Masters/Non-album singles excluded. I also enjoy all of these albums in their own way, so being low on the list doesn’t mean I dislike it.

1 - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band: This was the first album I ever owned and sparked my fascination with music

2 - Abbey Road: I actually used to rank this around the middle for some reason but over the years I’ve realized the entire album’s brilliance, specifically side 2

3 - The Beatles [White Album]: Basically the complete opposite of Sgt. Pepper, and I used to dislike it for that reason, but after tracking down the vinyl long ago I reevaluated it and at one point even considered it better than Abbey Road.

4 - Revolver: Yet another album that I considered to be lesser than I now do. What can I say? It really represents a turning point in their career, and delves into some brilliant psychedelia. Tomorrow Never Knows is also pretty damn mind-bending.

5 - Rubber Soul: I used to think of this as my favorite Beatles album, even more than Sgt. Pepper at one point, but after my reevaluations of Revolver, Abbey Road, and The Beatles I have to rank it at the bottom of the top five. Again, I haven’t lost any appreciation for this album, I just gained appreciation for the ones above it. It almost hurts to rank it this low given how much I love it, but oh well.

6 - A Hard Day’s Night: This is by far my favorite of the pre-Rubber Soul albums, and it marks an important moment in that it’s the first album with all original songs, although sadly George and Ringo are completely excluded from both singing and songwriting, with the exception of Harrison’s vocals on I’m Happy Just to Dance with You.

7 - Please Please Me: This album has a very distinct vibe to it; it almost feels like it was recorded at the Cavern Club.

8 - Magical Mystery Tour: This has some of my favorite Beatles songs of all time on it, but ultimately it wasn’t really something the Beatles had much to do with. It’s a great lineup of songs but as an album it just doesn’t hold up to their later work.

9 - Let It Be: I struggled with where to place this. It’s a good album but after all of the great records that came before, it just doesn’t fit quite right. The attempt to go for a straight up rock band playing raw un-tampered with music just didn’t quite work for the Beatles coming after the brilliance of Abbey Road (which I know was recorded later, but it did come out before Let It Be). Let It Be and Across the Universe are absolutely incredible, but I prefer the single version of Let It Be. I just don’t love the raw sound they were going for. I love the concert on the roof footage though!

10 - Help!: Yet another album populated with my favorite songs, but as an album it just doesn’t quite do it for me. It is the last time they had full length cover songs though, which is a plus.

11 - With the Beatles: I enjoy this one a lot for casual listening, and it has some of the best covers of other songs on here. It feels more like a compilation of singles than an album though.

12 - Yellow Submarine: It’s hard not to put this one last since it is really just four new songs, along with a side of score. That being said, I really like side 1, and it has some of Harrison’s best psychedelic work on it.

13 - Beatles for Sale: This is usually at the bottom of everyone’s lists. For me the covers, which aren’t particularly exciting, really drag the album down. It was the height of Beatlemania and their fatigue is felt.

The casting of the Abrams Star Trek movies was pretty great. I enjoyed those movies a lot as cool sci-fi action movies, but the trek name was merely a label for an action-thriller series paying homage to the original on occasion. I can separate it completely from the original series and enjoy as it’s own thing. Doesn’t hold a candle to even the most mediocre of two-part Trek episodes though

The Alien/Batman joke was funny, imperialscum added onto it, which was ok. Frink didn’t get it, and then imperialscum ruined the whole thing with misguided and unwarranted conceit.

I’d take someone who didn’t get a joke about Batman over someone claiming he’s too brilliant for another user to comprehend any day of the week.

You know gay marriage is still legal right? Wasn’t that why you left?

I must have missed that, was that really why you left Dr.?

Yes, but who is worse? At least TN1 contributes something other than trolling.

That is true. I would compare TN1 to Ted Nugent. 😉
