Finally got around to seeing Sucker Punch. I thought it was pretty entertaining. Nothing too amazing, I'd give it an 7.5-8. Definitely not the terrible movie most people were telling me about. It's pure eye-candy really, but it's more engaging than Transformers.
I love Sucker Punch myself. Glad you liked it too
My ranking for Snyder's films are pretty much this:
1.) Watchmen
2.) 300
3.) Dawn of the Dead
4.) Sucker Punch
5.) Legend of the Guardians
I hope to place Man of Steel on top.
I'm not a big Kanye fan, but if you can't identify his talent as a producer and as a rapper than you need to go home. Listing a bunch of underground rappers to add credibility to your insults is pretentious and played out. Sit Kanye and Aesop in front of an mpc3000 and an open laptop with Reason or Ableton running. Kanye, as much as I dislike him, would make magic. Aesop, as much as I love him, wouldn't know what to do with himself. And seriously, you put waaay too much stock in Chali 2na. Fish market mixtapes and his stuff with J5 was decent but there is nothing special about him, to be honest.
C'mon son, tell me you haven't been paying attention to what I've been saying and that you only just quoted this one post...I've been talking about rapping, point blank. Kanye West, sure, he's a fine producer, but lyrically, he has lost his touch and THAT is why I bring up these other guys. His music nowadays is nowhere satisfying for my ears.
Although....I would love to see what happens if you sit Kanye and El-P down to see who comes up with better stuff.

Nice job presenting yourself as the typical pretenious elitist who believe "My tastes are better than yours because I know artists you haven't even heard of *sticks out tongue while flipping me off*". You just agreed that music is subjective, then say you have better tastes then me and know about music more than me? Lol
God, you think so highly of yourself as the "well coordinated, thoughtful poster" of these forums, but in actuallity, you're just another poster with a superiority complex.
I'm not presenting myself as anything. I'm the guy who would make every single person I know a mix CD to elevate their thoughts on what is good music, lol. When someone brings up Nicki Minaj as being a great female rap artist, I'd show them MC Lyte(as recently, I'd even show them some Gavlyn). When someone thinks radio metal is cool, I'd show them some Zao or Protest the Hero. When someone wants some real old stuff that usually no one listens to, I'd show them some Halfway Home, Beloved, Hand to Hand, Mortal Treason, and so on and so forth. I try my hardest to know everything I can about music, so it's not me being pretentious when I say this
