movies
Movies with great product placement. Anything by Tim Burton or Terry Gilliam. Silents & talkies, A-movies, B-movies, 3-D movies. Widescreen and never that Pan & Scan crap. Independent or "indie" amateur avant-garde experimental-underground (usually low-budget or no-budget) art-house films. Summertime popcorn flicks, drive-ins, nickelodeons, etc. Plus movies with a degree of violence, profanity, or sexual situations within the film...oh yeah.But why am I talking about movies...this site is all about the music!!!
