Most of my favorite movies are "foreign." Dario Argento is my favorite director, so that takes up a whole chunk. I adore Takashi Miike, there's another chunk. I don't even need to list titles. Throw a bunch of old Franco Nero on there, a bunch of giallo. Oldboy, for sure. I don't care how cliche it's become to praise that movie, I saw it when it came out and it was and still is breathtaking. I love Michele Soavi, so movies like Dellamorte Dellamore and The Church (with Asia Argento, the most beautiful woman in the world).

Before I download this, does it have the Loder interview right after Axl walks offstage. You know, the "How do you rebuild something...." spiel? If not, know where I can find it? I've been looking for ages. Thanks.

I really contest the accuracy of that list. Most sales totals for albums, especially those released before the SoundScan era, are way off. Thriller has reputedly gone 104x platinum, which before you scoff at you should think of Michael Jackson's WORLDWIDE, outside-USA appeal, especially during his heyday. "Only" 54 million doesn't seem so accurate anymore. Appetite's sold well over 30 million worldwide.

I agree. 2006 was the best year to be a GN'R fan since '91. It easily the most interest from the media in the past decade. I believe (eventually) the album will be released and it will be ultimately successful, but 2006 was such an opportune time and such a wasted shot at redemption, it really depresses me. Going into that tour with the (then) new leaks, the fanbase was in a frenzy. Looking at the forums now and what we've dwindled back down to, it's unbelievable all this started up only about two years ago. I think way too much was put into the hype that Baz's album generated, which was no real hype. And that's not dissing Baz or the album, which I'm realling digging, but outside of hardcore Axl faithful and whatever fanbase Baz still has, that album meant nothing to nobody. A sidenote pic of Axl and Baz in the studio in Rolling Stone isn't the kind of media blitz you'd expect from the return of the mighty W. Axl Rose appearing on brand new studio recordings. I see a lot of people at other sites going on and on about how '07 was such a great year for things like the Angel Down songs and I think that's just fucking absurd. More momentum was built with the May leaks than anything this past November. Bottom line, where do we go now?
