But, sometimes crazy stuff happens."<br /><br />I found this conversation after trying Chergui (er, truthfully, after trying Chergui followed immediately by buying Chergui). This is one of those omg, it's great ones for me.

In the end Back to Black outlasted Chergui, but the journey was grueling, an ugly collision of two big fat heavyweights in which no one was left unscathed. Especially those within a few feet of me. Because I smelled like a Moroccan brothel. Or a Moroccan-themed brothel in Western Nevada. On a busy night. In the summertime. Without air-conditioning.

It's like your tastes are constantly called into question. That never happens in other art forms. If you don't like movies with robots, decapitations, dumb dialogue and dumb actors, there's no possibility of you liking "Transformers".
