    Rearrange the Triple J Hottest 100 top 10

    As the title says, I'll post the top 10 for a particular year's Hottest 100 and rearrange from best to worst with the benefit of hindsight. Feel free to name your preferred number one or greatest snub. The first year is 1997, as that was what I was listening to this morning. The top 10 as voted...

    Star Trek General Discussion Thread

    Realised that while we have various threads for different Star Trek shows, there isn't a general thread for proposed shows, movies, in development etc. For example, I thought after the end of Discovery and Picard, there was just Strange New Worlds left, along with the proposed Section 31 movie...

    What is the best year for movies...

    and why is it 1999? At least according to this article as well as Edgar Wright. It certainly had an eclectic mix of ideas, including The Matrix, Sixth Sense, Magnolia, American Beauty, 10 Things I Hate About You, Blair Witch Project, Eyes Wide Shut, Phantom Menace and more. Any other rivals...

    Films that have aged because of bad behaviour

    Based on a viral post that went along the lines of "Just woke up from a decade long coma. About to watch my favourite film Get Him To The Greek. I hope it holds up." What's a film that's become particularly uncomfortable to watch despite being fairly innocuous on its release. Looking for...

    Play Nice Maths is not for joking people about.

    50 per cent of Australians are of below average intelligence. That's just maths.

    Shows disappearing from streaming

    Another big budget production, this one a UK series being produced in Australia, has been dropped by Disney+ before it even has a chance to air. While there's some hope it will find an alternative platform, it continues a trend of streamers nixing completed productions or removing series from...

    Star Wars and Kevin Feige

    Announced yesterday that Marvel boss Kevin Feige is a big Star Wars fan and will be making a movie with Lucasfilm (writing, directing, overseeing, not quite clear). Big coup for Lucasfilm, albeit they all work for the same company.

    Arguments for Christmas

    A handy list of arguments to have this Christmas, starting with the classic: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? But also; Is Love Actually actually good or actually bad? Real tree vs fake tree. Is fruit cake delicious or disgusting? When should the decorations go up? Merry Christmas or happy...

    Albums live in full

    I've been listening to The National's latest release, Boxer Live in Brussels, in which they play the album in its entirety. Some bands have toured albums, particularly on key anniversary dates (I think Offspring toured Smash to celebrate 25 years since its release). Obviously bands and fans...

    TV shows you have given up on

    If I have invested a lot of time into a good show, I usually want to see how it ends. But some make it really difficult by declining in quality (I'm looking at you, Dexter). As much as I previously enjoyed The Walking Dead, I'm just about done. What shows did you spend years watching, only to...

    Old music outselling new music

    The declining state of the music industry has been pretty well documented but I found it interesting that old, or catalogue, music is now outselling new music in Australia and has been doing so in the US since 2015. What exactly does this mean for music now and in the future, will the trend...

    Five-star albums

    A five-star review is the ultimate rating for any album, suggesting it is basically flawless, or at least, as meaningful as an album can be to you. If we're honest with our reviews, there really should only be a handful of five-star albums. So which are yours? I was prompted to start this...

    Definitive albums

    While discussing the work of Green Day, a friend pointed out that you only truly need two Green Day albums: Dookie and American Idiot. Their other work might have ranged from mediocre to decent, depending on your personal taste, but those are the two albums that had the most impact and the most...

    Warne/McGrath/Gilchrist

    Who was better? Steve Waugh says Gilly. Let the shitfight begin. Former Australian captain Steve Waugh has sparked debate within cricketing circles by nominating Adam Gilchrist as the most valuable player of Australia's glorious era of dominance. Waugh was asked who of Gilchrist, who...

    Shane Warne's Test XI of the past 25 Years

    Gee, Warney really holds a grudge against Steve Waugh, doesn't he? Not included in his team of the past 25 years, Border named captain despite playing, what, one or two of those years. Comes after leaving him out of the ODI team. Having put together what he thinks is Australia's greatest ODI XI...
