I’ll tell you what, I’ve taken mine to several shows and the response to it has always been overwhelmingly positive. It’s a car that most people will wonder how and why it still exists. In a sea of Chevelles and Tri-Five Chevys and whatever else you’ve seen a billion times (yawn), the Yugo will stand out.

They are absolutely tripping over themselves to be both victim and oppressor.

Googled author’s name. First hit was her personal website. This is the first line of her bio:

I just said to my wife that they can wait a couple months, then release it so everyone can “judge for themselves”...and make maybe $35-million on a piece of shit.

I was thinking the other way around actually.  If they can do this without the board of directors having fits, it’ll be easier to shitcan the Flash movie.

Right? How bad must something be for even WB to be like “No, this will do irreversible damage to our reputation and brand.”

sources referred to the movie as “irredeemable” after test screenings.

I’m sure the 24 people who write her songs are aghast!

I’ll listen to it, maybe.

I fully recognized Cleveland, Austin, Dallas, even Philadelphia and Washington D.C.

Why does someone like Beyonce need 24 writers in the first place, regardless if they’re samples or not? At what point does the song lose it’s originality and just become a mashup of random hits?

Here’s an actual article about this phenomenon: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/long-songwriting-credits. The short answer is, ever since the “Blurred Lines” lawsuit, studios have become more liberal about who they include as credited writers, even if it’s just a minor reference or allusion to another

beyonce is her own motown

At least she didn’t spaz out like a total spaz about the whole spazzin’ thing!

Sounds like it takes several law firms to write a song these days.

I mean, Diane Warren’s written #1 songs by herself, no samples needed, but Beyonce needs 24 people and apparently a truckload of other people’s music to write a track? If I were Warren I’d be bragging.

I mean, this is really the crux of why Twitter is bad for humanity. Instead of keeping that thought contained in her head and mulling about it for a minute and realizing the obvious answer, or throwing it out in a private conversation and receiving the answer and maybe the mild rebuke it deserves, she innocently posts

Just went and looked it up, there’s 24 credits listed BEFORE the sampling credits.

First time on the AVC?

Once more the sun comes up and a starving AVClub writer struggles to mine controversy from a mild twitter disagreement.
