This news has me so excited I’m going to down a whole bottle of whiskey in one go, someone please preemptively call an ambulance.

The Killing is Kubrick’s best film and I will not entertain any arguments otherwise. Hopefully this gets made, it’s good and Jim Thompson’s estate can get some more residuals.

I have been meaning to see this for decades at this point and currently have a digital rental gift card balance in excess of $15 so thank you for the push in the right direction to rent this this weekend.

Live action adaptation of only the Dinosaur Island parts of The New Frontier you say?

projecting their cultural snobbery onto the actor they’re writing about...

I was a day one sign up for the old app (though I got my first 15 months comped because of availability shenanigans) and would have gladly kept paying for the service if they didn’t drop support for Amazon, Roku and Xbox devices.

I’m not usually a single issues guy but Department of Truth has kept me going to the shop every month to see where the hell it’s going.

You do at least twice, probably more as the game goes on. Kind of like the Ciri levels in Witcher 3.

There used to be specialized columns for punk, metal, etc but those all went by the wayside. Even when that stuff was segregated into their own areas there would still occasionally be features and long form reviews of other styles in the main feed but this year, for fuck’s sake, they couldn’t even muster up an…

Of all places Stereogum (who for years I always wrote off as pretty much Pitchfork lite and poptimism central before it took over every other larger music news website) has a better and more robust coverage of heavier, non-indie pop/pop rap/pop r&b than The AV Club. Tom Breihan, even if he’s into more…

Napalm Death is my album of the year for sure. It’s really mind blowing that a band as long running and influential as ND has released their best music in the last decade. I love Scum and FETO, but their last three albums are bar none my favorite work of theirs.

It’s a perfectly fine show to watch on a lunch break. Not uproariously funny but will get at least a few good chuckles out of you.

I’m not sure I’m grasping the point he’s making there.

I was having a shitty week even by 2020 standards when it was released and turning off my brain to watch that on a Friday night was exactly what I needed. I’m sure they would have preferred it hitting theaters and all but the way it was released ended up being kind of perfect.

Krypton was pretty fun “put on while making and eating lunch during covid quarantine” material and from everything I hear or see about this it seems the same.

I’m one hundred percent the same way, and it’s definitely because the second one was pretty much in non-stop rotation on HBO from about 1990 to 1995. It was one of the movies they got on the cheap and just pounded into the ground.

This is what is keeping me out of it about as much as the initial $500 cost. My back office TV used for gaming is just a run of the mill 2015 era TV (with included DVD player though!!!) that ensures that the graphical updates will not be noticed at all. This might be a 2022/when there’s officially a cut over with new…

How is Stamos going to square this with his other boss Mike Love? Is he kicked out of the Officially Licensed Touring The State Fair Near You Beach Boys?

Kind of similar thing with me. I floated the idea of buying tickets to go see the 50th anniversary tour with my dad as a Father’s Day gift; we misunderstood each other and I didn’t buy the tickets. I was bummed because we always had Beach Boys tapes running in the car when I was growing up and god knows they were all…
