His latest effort (apart from the Duran Duran concert) was Inland Empire, which wasn't an entirely successful experiment. With a more classic style, however…

For the Halloween episode, you had the guy with mutilated hands, Chuck, handing over treats to the kids.

The hit air disaster movies came in the 70s, but the guy responsible for the original novel had previously written a script for the Canadian TV that was quickly remade as a film, Zero Hour!, from 1957.
Then, he ripped off his own work in two different novels, one of them being Airport.

Don't forget the Ratatouille.

"Songs in the Key of X" is also important because of one song that didn't make the track listing, and two that were hidden.

Stoned Love is as close to the classic Supremes sound as it can, and the two other voices are higher in the mix.

Especially as "Someday" is a cover from a song that had been written eight years before the "Supremes" recorded it.
Then, there's lots of resentment from Mary Wilson about Diana Ross, which is only partly justified, the same way Levon Helm felt about Robbie Robertson. Sure, Diane was a bitch who stole the spotlight in

He wrote a feature for The Dissolve which was also put online today. He's also a freelancer for The Daily Beast and the L.A. Times. I guess that now that The Dissolve has established its identity and looks like it's here to stay, the guys are willing to write the occasional entry on other subjects they also care

It's more of a personal beef between Ross and Wilson. Ross, in her rise to fame, alienated a lot of people, including her bandmates.

The first movie had a lot of drafts and refinements for the script. There may have been suggestions from his friends and collaborators, but Lucas himself decided to include these suggestions or not. This was not a collaborative effort, he was in charge.
For the prequels, Lucas was surrounded by employees. He wasn't

Think that in lesser hands it could have been: "Great job, Internet: the Michael Jackson moonwalk from Motown 25 recreated by puppies"

There's a good reason for which the Supremes reunion is so short. There was a clash on stage between Diana Ross and Mary Wilson, who behaved like two eight-year-olds.

Too generic. It could be the title of anything related to reality TV.

Totally agree. By a coincidence, I commented last week (on a thread about the "Stooges" project of 70s unreleased songs) that this album never got a proper release on CD.

If he was a Russian Jew, he couldn't have kept it secret. Jews were closely monitored and labeled since Stalin in the Soviet Union. So, it's unlikely he would belong to an important family in Moscow without anybody knowing about their religion.

They're still playing it safe with the longer episodes. We got one last week, and one this week. And in both cases, there was a good reason, as I never felt there was any dead time.
Compare this to Sons of Anarchy, where basically every episode this season (apart from one or two) was extra-long, so they could show more

Burrell was already excellent as an SS officer in the Key & Peele sketch that spoofed the opening sequence of Inglourious Basterds.

And for Derrick Beckles (who was the guy standing next to Tunes), the guy from TV Carnage/Hot Package?

Older artists have to play that game. Their music isn't on the radio anymore, so if they want their songs to survive and be heard by new audiences, soundtracks and advertisements are the only tools they have.
