I'm of real mixed emotions here. I totally understand why latino/a folks want this film to succeed, there has never really been a film to this scale to feature as predominantly a latin-american cast as this one, and that's certainly a big moment. I have a latino friend who is going purely for how big a moment it is for representation of his culture and I get it.

However, so much of the complaints about how iffy the film's likely performance I've seen really border damn close to just complaining about the strike "ruining" things for people (like we didn't all know this film had 'potential bust' written all over it for a long time now) and studios' plans. And frankly, while I certainly hope for more latin-american representation all across film, I also think that trying to save Warner Bros Discovery from their own disasterous decision is counterproductive to wishes of future good quality and original programming

Not a month goes by that I don't get the sudden urge to revisit this song, it is really an all time favorite.

Straight up one of my favorite songs of all time.

Amazing how fully formed as filmmakers Joel and Ethan were from day one.

It is such a wonderful moment in a frantic album, just take a step back, chill out, and inspire people with a tribute to the power of music. Love it.

It might be just because the most famous members of Jane's Addiction are famously super hateable dudes. They generally aren't a cool band to like because of both that and the close association with RHCP (whom I personally also do not like), but it is unfair because at their peak JA were a really solid alt rock band that didn't really sound like anybody else out there.

Most bands are lucky to have one great songwriter, Husker Du had two who ensured there was never a dull moment on any of their albums. It says a lot that of the "noise pop/melodic hardcore" era, Candy Apple Grey is probably their weakest album and it still produced all-time great songs like this.

I'm 32, and Let it Be has been a top 3 album for me since I was like 15 years old. You don't have to be older to know that The 'Mats were amazing.

Yeah, nothing about his "clarifications" really do anything other than making him look even more a dim light struggling to form an opinion.

This has long been a "walking around the neighborhood with my headphones in" staple, got the perfect atmosphere for night walk with a chill in the air.

Absolutely incredible song, this album was on heavy rotation for me in the few years after it came out, think it might be time to revisit soon

Stone cold classic!
