Strangers (2008)

this film does have one of the coldest lines ever. Whe asked why they did this they respond with, Because you were home.

When you see that nepo baby Liv Tyler is the star you know it’s going to be pretty bad. To be fair to Liv, she was fantastic in “That Thing You Do!” (1996), so fantastic that it ruined Johnathan Schaech’s acting career (he was the guitar player guy that was mean to Liv). Schaech has been attacked by people several times for being mean to Liv in the movie. A girl punched him right in the face and he said “I was just acting! It wasn’t real!” Yes, “The Strangers” is not good. I thought that I would see some bad acting by Liv (and I certainly did) but pin-up boy Scott Speedman who played Liv’s boyfriend was just atrociously piss poor in the acting department. The script is just so bad it makes “Malevolence” look like a masterpiece. 1 star. When the “strangers” took their masks off I was almost expecting to see nepo babies Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavine and Lars Ulrich and hear Lars say in his valley girl accent “Wow! This is so gnarly, dude!” (Metallica fucking suck – I can’t stand them. Nepo babies Metallica perform duets with Miley and Avril all the time. They really rock out, dude.) Side note: Liv Tyler (who looks more like her stepdad Todd Rundgren if you ask me) would make Lucille Ball blush at how lousy she treats the “help.” She looks down her nose big time at everyone and considers anyone that works for a living to be… Read more »

The Stranglers are an English rock band who emerged via the punk rock scene. Scoring 23 UK top 40 singles and 19 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning five decades, the Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving bands to have originated in the UK punk scene. Formed as the Guildford Stranglers in Guildford, Surrey, in early 1974,[4] they originally built a following within the mid-1970s pub rock scene. While their aggressive, no-compromise attitude had them identified by the media with the emerging UK punk rock scene that followed, their idiosyncratic approach rarely followed any single musical genre, and the group went on to explore a variety of musical styles, from new wave, art rock and gothic rock through the sophisti-pop of some of their 1980s output. They had major mainstream success with their 1982 single “Golden Brown”. Their other hits include “No More Heroes”, “Peaches”, “Always the Sun”, “Skin Deep” and “Big Thing Coming”. The Stranglers’ early sound was driven by Jean-Jacques Burnel’s melodic bass, but also gave prominence to Dave Greenfield’s keyboards. Their early music was also characterised by the growling vocals and sometimes misanthropic lyrics of both Burnel and Hugh Cornwell.[5] Over time, their output gradually grew more refined and sophisticated. Summing up their contribution to popular music, critic Dave Thompson later wrote: “From bad-mannered yobs to purveyors of supreme pop delicacies, the group was responsible for music that may have been ugly and might have been crude – but it was never, ever… Read more »
