So, here’s 6 guys from England once again making me feel like I don’t know anything about music and I can’t play any instruments properly.<\/p>\n

Sigh.<\/p>\n

These guys were so fucking good at composition and playing that it’s scary.\u00a0 And this song<\/a> too is kind of spooky.<\/p>\n

Not really.\u00a0 But the only reason I’m talking about this song is because it came to mind when I was reading about what is possibly the worst movie ever made:<\/p>\n

“The Room<\/a>”<\/p>\n

Okay, I’m not a fan of movies.\u00a0 I could care less about what some dicks and some twats get up to on a big screen for minutes and even hours on end.\u00a0 Even the sexiest filmed fembot portrayals have all appeared on TV, so movies just don’t have anything I’m interested in.<\/p>\n

But I had to watch a few clips on YouTube when I read about just how horrible, misguided, botched, and disasterific this movie is.<\/p>\n

Watch<\/a>.\u00a0 And learn.<\/p>\n

Don’t ask me what you should learn.<\/p>\n

This movie looks to me like a trainwreck… but one filled with cardboard effigies of people you don’t like.<\/p>\n

And how bout this song?\u00a0 Alternating grand\/spooky\/whimsical parts.\u00a0 Neat, huh?\u00a0 Yeah, I really don’t have anything to say about it, other than this shitty, shitty movie makes me think of it.<\/p>\n

Look!\u00a0 He’s mad!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
