    I'm a big fan of my Arctis Nova 7x. I'd recommend that one.

    I think it’s shallow and pretending to be deeper than it is

    That's an unpopular opinion, as it's about to be the most-watched movie in Netflix history.

    I also didn’t really care for any of the music in the film.

    Well, that's an even more unpopular opinion. It's the first soundtrack to ever chart four simultaneous top 10 songs.

    Haven't seen anyone mention Sorcerer (1977). It’s a remake of the French classic The Wages of Fear. Same nail-biting tension, but totally its own vibe. Bombed on release thanks in part to Star Wars coming out the same week, but it’s aged into a masterpiece. Quentin Tarantino has said it's one of the greatest movies ever made.

    Clearly a lot of people wanted it, myself included. All three Jurassic World movies grossed over a billion each.

    My vote for the greatest guitar solo (and performance) is Jimi Hendrix performing Red House live at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970, just three weeks before his death.

    Sorry for the Reddit link, but it's the only full version of the song I can find online. https://old.reddit.com/r/ClassicRock/comments/raoed4/jimi_hendrix_red_house_isle_of_wight_festival/

    If you don't want to watch the full thing, jump to 3:45 and start from there. It's the best thing I've ever heard.

    Go watch The Wrestler by Darren Aronofsky. It's a perfect example of how this can happen and how it plays out. Another great recent example is The Substance.

    I've experienced a little bit of this through my GIFs, and the only fun part for me has been the people I've been able to meet and the friends I've made. The rest isn't worth it.

    Warfare is the best modern-era war film I've seen, and I'd say it's the best war movie since Saving Private Ryan.

    I trace a lot of it back to starting to make gifs in the first place, and Jeremiah Johnson was one of my firsts, so I owe a lot to him!

    I've always just done this for fun primarily, and I've got to meet a lot of people and make some great friends along the way, so I am very thankful for that.

    I get together with a lot of the r/HighQualityGifs mods every year, and we all hang out in person for a long weekend and just do whatever. That's been the best part of it all. I think this year will be our tenth year of doing that. HQG Con we call it, haha.
