I have to admit that I absolutely need to listen to Perfume Genius' new album. Actually, I still need to listen to Too Bright. I still sometimes play "Queen" and what a tune that is.

They remembered Robin Williams, the GOAT, and that's what's important.

For those who are voting for both E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Gandhi, why is it so popular and why do you guys like it? I find those two pretty bad. Ben Kingsley was really great in the latter, though. Maybe I'm just missing something that's "good" about those two.
