Tango and Cash is like Kurt Russell's Joshua Tree.

Big Trouble in Little China would be Kurt Russell's "War", as it really put him on the map!

Escape from New York would be his Unforgettable Fire
Escape from LA...Passengers (that movie is aweful... He actually surfs a wave in one of the worst CGI scenes)


Captain Ron would be Pop....good intentions but didn't deliver.

I went to the shop today to get the rolling stone mag (UK) and they had the Obama one which is issue 1220. The u2 issue is 1221 so it will be the next one in the shops.

We've made a discovery today. Cosmo is actually Goldie Hawn, Kurt's one fan.

Tango and Cash...think Lethal Weapon.

Only, you know, not good.

All downhill after The Barefoot Executive. Kurt started demanding stuff...like scripts, better camera angles, no monkeys.

Boooooooo!

If it helps, I think Escape from New York is a genre classic...and there's never been another movie quite like Big Trouble in Little China.

So like Lethal Weapon 6, right?
(Mac could play Kurt).

German Rolling Stone is having the U2 issue with cover and all for December:

ROLLING STONE im Dezember 2014 – Titelstory: U2 - Rolling Stone

It's funny because it will certainly arrive here in our stores at the same time as the American one from early November, since this one isn't available here yet.

Well, at least they made the top 50, even though it's at a low 44.

Yes, it's unfair that the "Apple's stunt" has influence so badly such a great record.

Absolutely! If they'd have just released the same album in the traditional manner, they've been in the top 10 of those same lists, I guarantee it. The album is actually really good, and would've garnered much critical acclaim. It would've shot to #1 the first week, and then hung around in the top 10 another week or 2, and then fallen down the charts, just like NLOTH. BUT... there would be no negativity surrounding this release at all. And maybe, because of that, some of the singles would be given a little breathing room, and have a chance to do their job.

This release strategy was an absolute FAILURE. Time has proven this to be true. They should've let the music do the talking. They fucked this one up, and it'll go down in history as the most hated album in U2 history. I don't know if at this stage they can come back from this.

It's a shame, because I really like the album.
