Some of the best rappers ever were Andre 3000 and Big Boi of Outkast. That being said, rap these days is total trash.

Outkast is seriously good.

Andre 3000 is right up there with BIG, Pac, Nas and Jay-Z for greatest ever.

I concur

Boyhood takes the Golden Globe. Was a cool film.

Well deserved imo. Such an experience for anyone who grew up in the late 90s and 00s. Easily in my top 3 movies ever. Despite the "lack of plot" hate.

It was a nice break, but back to hell starting tomorrow.

Is that just me or do others actually say it?

Seriously though, how curious are you to know what his real life was like each of those years?

Had a couple friends who've seen it mention the seeming lack of direction.

I bet the kid did actually have a pretty interesting life. I wonder if they took events that actually happened and added them to the movie.

Also headed back to school tomorrow. One more hell semester then it's easy mode.

Things don't have to have plots to be entertaining in watch. Case in point, we're all hockey fans. Do hockey games have plots?

The fact that they don't is actually what makes them appealing to me (as well as sports in general). Yes a lot of individual matchups are predictable but there are often upsets. It's not like the best team in the NHL goes 82-0 and the worst team goes 0-82.

I dont watch a lot of movies/tv so it's not that I need to have a story fed to me. I'm actually a big fan of documentary/reality type things so I totally understand the point about life being good enough to be the story. I've watched so many of those type of things where they follow a group of people through their lives. The 7 Up series, Married in America, High School Confidential, Real World back when it had a point, Teen Mom (don't laugh), I've seen literally hundreds of True Lifes, hell even I love Big Brother because it's really a show about people more than it is a game. I just felt like in Boyhood they could have used their incredible resources better. But you guys that loved it nothing wrong with that, I enjoyed it myself.

Sports is the ultimate reality tv.

I'm pretty stoked about making $250 from writing last month I have no idea how others do it as a main source of income.

It spent 8 months on Amazon's top 10 albums list. So people were buying it.

My question was about the demographics of the purchasers, not the quantity.

McConkey is a hero of mine.

If any of you guys are into ski movies at all check out G.N.A.R. It's well worth your time.

I believe you can still find it on the web streaming for free.

EDIT: It is. http://vimeo.com/18809446

If you guys are still going to every lecture and stuff then you haven't figured out how to beat college yet.

I went from a C student in high school to a B+/A- student in college. I'm not changing anything, what I'm doing is working.

 

[not a troll]

I think I only got two A's in college. C's get degrees!

Release a new novel every three months and the money will start rolling in. It's what Stephen King does.

I only went to class about 50% of the time while in college. I made sure to take classes that didn't count attendance and tests were the vast majority of the grade. Ended with a 3.57 GPA.

I also got an accounting degree, so it is really simple and easy stuff... 3.57 isn't impressive.
