<i>I think it was largely self-selecting; Black and White artists in the ‘70s had interests in different sounds, and both had great success in each.</i>
For sure. To say that black artists were absent from rock ‘n roll music in the ‘60s and ‘70s is to essentially say “I have never heard of funk and am totally unaware…
Interestingly, and along the same lines as your comment, a “History of Punk” docutainment on MTV which aired sometime in the mid/late-90s devoted one of its chapters to Elvis Costello.
For what it’s worth, in a famous essay (reprinted here: https://www.cbr.com/revisiting-mcduffies-six-degrees-of-st-elsewhere/) Dwayne McDuffie (R.I.P.) suggested the same arrangement ought to hold even within the world of comic books. If I’m the writer of Iron Man’s stand-alone series and the writer of an X-Men title…
Re: surveillance, I was dead certain that not only Axe’s entryway but indeed much of his bachelor pad had some kind of video feed going. Guy’s a billionaire! You can’t seriously believe you can just sneak around his house like a Hardy Boy and remain undiscovered, can you?
(In fact, I now give Billions enough credit…
Why Archer: Vice did not work for me: with the same characters in a new motif, the show was obliged to make everything consequence-free. They pretend to be drug dealers but never actually deal any drugs because then they’d be rich; Pam eats all their cocaine and gets skinny except that later she gains all the weight…
I kinda felt like there was another level of resentment there too, because the wink her mom’s boyfriend gives her is not so much prurient as possessive of her mom’s affection and intimacy. Mom stares blankly at her pronouncement that she’s going out, and the boyfriend acknowledges her statement only to say,…
For me, his most memorable role remains the voice of Lex Luthor in the DCAU, but your larger point still stands.
Here, Joaqui-Joaqui-Joaqui-(kissy noises)

As an old-school Hawkwind & Michael Moorcock fan, the Division 3 announcements of new symptoms reminded me of nothing so much as “Sonic Attack”:
Also, her stepbrother is wunderkind Roberto Orci, of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess and Fringe fame, as well as a bunch of other Michael Bay & J.J. Abrams projects.
My favorite part was how the actor chose a facial expression that accentuates how much he looks like a combination of Steve Mnuchin and Jared Kushner in his brief appearance. Nice to see the writers are keeping their Trump references vague but still using them to their advantage.
It was definitely dodgy, but I felt like both SliceLine meathead’s business model and Richard’s sabotage of it both made a <i>kind</i> of sense, or at least enough sense to track for a TV audience. It wouldn’t take 200k orders to create $1M in losses, just 200k pizzas, so ordering 5-10 pizzas at a time to widely…
Also it didn’t seem likely that an anomaly from the Fear Dimension would want to help with the overall project of closing off access to the Fear Dimension.
My main issue was that it’s pretty transparent that you’re a basic cable show when you have a whole hour spotlighting one of the most famous musicians in American history, and the song you choose to have him perform is from the public domain. Encore, encore! Let’s have a rousing rendition of “Greensleeves!”
I guess I’m just the outlier who thought it was pretty much a C, C-minus Coens movie the first time I saw it, and every subsequent viewing has just reinforced that opinion. If I had to pin it down to one thing, I would say it’s because I find Walter Sobchak intensely and relentlessly unlikeable, and his constant…
There are a couple of AV Club articles about The Middleman worth linking to as well:
I could’ve sworn that this was the second “harmless beach bums preyed on by callous 1%ers” case we’d seen on Lucifer, and then I realized that the other one had actually been on Lethal Weapon. Whoops!
Same here. I’m not sure how often he’s supposed to recur on the show, but I felt like it was pretty much inevitable that part of his “face turn” is going to be meeting Sue and being inspired to more heroic pursuits. Maybe not this season, but surely by his 4th or 5th appearance.
