Time travel is real (in the future).  This is a documentary.  Period.

Never cared for Ozzy Osborne. 1-2 songs are ok, never really liked the rest of his stuff. I just saw a post that he was 55 when they did that reality show 20 years ago. Amazing. He was basically unintelligible in the show. Can’t believe he made it this long really.

That was kind of my thought. Some people were acting like this was a surprise, and 76 honestly sounds pretty good for the way he seemed to live.

I'm so old that aside from having heard his name a few times, I have no idea what he did in life, something musical I gather.

Black Sabbath's first album was released in 1970.  It might not have been your style of music but I imagine you probably heard of them at one point or another.

He was the original lead singer of that band.

I envy your ability to move through life, blissfully unaware of your surroundings, perturbed by little and impressed by less.

Yeah, well he was 76.

Me thinks you are pretending the be pretentious, and above the lowly masses of heathens.

I actually did not know that.  I have heard of "BS" the group, and you are correct, I don't recall listening to them, they probably crossed the radio a few times.

Around that period I liked The Allman Bros, Yes, Crosby Stills Nash, the Who, the Guess Who, Emerson Lake and Arnold, and a few others.  I liked Mountain as I recall.  I'm trying to remember the 8 track tapes I had.

Somewhere around 1973 I bought a half decent stero, a Pioneer receiver and Small Advent speakers, which had a heavy if muddled base, and a Pioneer turntable.  I recall later picking up a Shure V15 Type 3 cartridge that was considered sweet, probably 1977.  By then I was listening to a lot of classical.

When I started working, I bought some ADS speakers which were a definite upgrade and I think a new receiver, a Yamaha I think, maybe the one I still have.  My main setup now is a Yamaha with Monitor Audio speakers.  My wife won't let me crank it up very often.

Mostly, I'm just not "in the know" about artsy fartsy things.

Apathy I guess, but I really don't care.

I stand corrected.  My apologies.

lol that's actually kinda funny, because well Zack Snyder sucks.

i actually hated that part in the new one. why is Superman saving a freaking squirrel from a weird giant cheap CGI Japanese godzilla knock off monster. seriously? and superman doesn't even defeat the weird giant cheap CGI Japanese godzilla knock off monster- his buddies do. also: why is he constantly needing help/saving....ummm isn't he like a super god man? kinda crazy that as shitty as Zack Snyder is (and he is a very shitty film maker) both of his Superman movies will probably do considerably more at the box office than this new one.

Warner Brothers Discovery was probably banking on this new Superman doing $1 billion at the global box office to consider it a hit, and well it's not going to get anywhere close to that. Budget on a movie like that has to cost $200-250 million and you can add another $200-250 million in promotion on top of that. You're talking about a nut of $400-500 million. And they only get a heavy majority of box office split in the first 2 weeks, after that split usually goes down drastically on a sliding scale from week 3 to 4 and so on. And with the complete inability to monetize an at home video business and sell VHS/DVD/Bluray anymore as everyone just streams shit now- they are probably starring a sizable loss in the face with this new one. Which isn't great news for a company that saw it's revenue decline 5% YoY and had a loss of $11.5 billion last year.
