Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

Meh. I can take him or leave him.
He was damn good in American Psycho, though.
He kind of overacted AP. I think that is the least favorite role I've seen him playing. Too much Nicholson in the Shining type of acting.
I don't get the Shining reference at all, but I'm pretty sure the script was written that way. I think he played the part exactly the way it was supposed to be played. Obviously you're intitled to your opinion though.

odd thing ive noticed...
Bale's major roles only seem good if his main counterpart(s) is also not an american.. Batman Begins- Caine and Liam 3:10 To Yuma- Crowe Prestige- Jackman and Caine Dark Knight- Ledger...
