Weird, I also just paraphrase-referenced the same song today, the part about "but also, there's a negative side".

"streaming is just what the average consumer can afford to pay for entertainment now."

"So a song can generate a ton of revenue for the artist if it's played a lot."

"if the 'artist' gets paid $0.005 per listen, is that what the record company gets,"

"The more we grow, the more we’ll pay you."

The biggest problem with "Mulaney" is that lead actor, whatever his name is, just shouldn't be carrying a TV show or even appearing on a TV show. Every other issue it has is surmountable, or easily written off as growing pains, but the center is a hole.

I imagine it like this:
Sam Jackson knocking at door.
(cut to)
Chris Tucker and Sam Jackson standing by the car.
"I AIN'T GETTIN' IN NO [stupid] TRUNK, MAN!"
(cut to)
Sam Jackson gets out of the car and shoots Tucker in the trunk.

The sad thing is the realization that, as you grow older, following through on your dreams will mean leaving behind friends, family, and home, and not always temporarily (certainly not as temporarily as you'd wish).

This *is* a great song, but the version with Ernie singing a duet with Aaron Neville is a million times better.

At the time, the only big budget movie he had done was "The Frighteners". I remember a lot of people completely dismissing LotR before it came out based on that. (I had seen all of his work by then, and also actually liked "The Frighteners", so I was onboard.)

I had a friend who had a very strong moral issue with that release, on the grounds that the distributors were clearly trying to make the movie look appropriate for, even appealing to, children.

The documentary on the "Bad Taste" DVD is incredibly inspiring, 90% of it is Jackson just talking about, like, "Oh, yeah, I went and built that dolly in the shed" or "we baked all of the creature masks in my mum's oven, there was no room to cook any food!"

It's not even better than "Bad Taste", but it is worth watching it once if you like early Peter Jackson.

I actually think that if you cut out the Vietnam scene and "Sodomy", the film would be more-or-less worthless (at least as a comedy; it is incredibly well-made no matter what).

Yeah, nobody takes Neil deGrasse Tyson seriously, you're definitely right.

I liked Out Here more than Four Sail, but only — and this is important — if you replace the two crazy long jam songs with their short versions from "Studio/Live". "Doggone" and "You Are Something" are on my shortlist of favorite Love songs.

Pretty sure that was the vinyl version.

"And I’ve had much more failure, as traditionally measured, than success in television. I’ve done four shows, and only one of them was not about making a television show."

On behalf of Erik Adams, I'd like to say:
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Especially when the title is "Selfie" and you are doing a "My Fair Lady" remake. See, people might actually watch "My Fair Lady" as a TV show, if the name in some way suggested to them that there was a connection, instead of being called "Selfie".
