"Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends" - A few days late on posting this: 'Twenty years has gone so fast'

The album American Idiot was released on September 21, 2004, and is now around 20 years old
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
What the song was about:
One of the songs in American Idiot, "Wake Me Up When September Ends", is not entirely related to the album's central narrative.[6][7] The song was inspired by the death of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's father in September 1982.[5] On the day of his father's funeral, Armstrong reportedly ran home, locked himself in his room, and when his mother came to check on him, he told her to wake him up when September ended,[8] and held onto the song title for several years after.[9] In an interview with the Howard Stern Show, Armstrong said that he initially avoided writing a song about his father for years, until he "[had] a breakthrough" and created "Wake Me Up When September Ends" in his honor.[
What the music video was about:
Bayer envisioned the video as a mini-movie,[50] wanting to create something unlike other music videos that he felt were predictable.[49] Bayer brought the idea of an Iraq War-themed video to the band after interviewing soldiers who had signed up to fight after being persuaded by a television advertisement.[51] Bayer also said that he wanted the music video to be more political than the album's other music videos, saying that he "wanted kids to talk about the war," and felt that MTV had not spread awareness of the conflict and its consequences on soldiers.[13] Although it was not the song's original meaning, Armstrong felt it was appropriate.[52] Bayer and his crew spent a month casting actors for the roles and conducted rehearsals, which was uncommon for music videos.

I didn't like that finale.
The characters felt lifeless, like they were all doing a loose parody of themselves. Even the "oh lord" felt like a reference. The one scene which felt genuine was when Bender shot the can opener and took a nap.
At least we have the older seasons to constantly rewatch.
I subscribed to the channel after coming across one of their other covers. Each one is excellent
Yes that's the one!
The first set was Nancy Drew + Hardy Boys (+ Tom Swift for the professor? I'm not familiar with that one). The other thread has a comment that there was a popular series in Germany by a different name for those stories "The Three Investigators"
The Bender story was encyclopedia brown I believe
I listen to a lot, but one song that felt unique was "Love in Portofino". It makes me feel nice
Captain here
This
Flies away
Fant4stic was one of the few movies where I had to look up the running time afterwards to make sure I didn't watch some weird edited version.
I haven't seen Green Lantern to be fair
The Accountant
- It was fun
Project Power
- loved this one
The Fall Guy
- it had some good scenes, but I found myself getting bored during a lot of the dialogue
I don't know NIN well. Are they a good choice for Tron 3?
This video doesn't compare to Daft Punk's timing, however the artist has lots of film experience: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Reznor#Film_composition
