As much as I like the idea of biopics about musicians, there really aren’t many good ones. That being said, Marvin Gaye’s last few years were so tragic that I get emotional thinking about him sometimes.

I thought somehow a time-traveling young Ad Rock had snuck on stage.

I first heard about the Jack Parsons thing from, I admit it, “Drunk History.”

Yes. And that person always wonders why his or her order is usually mucked up. Then again, that person quite often has a negative experience everything-danged-where he or she goes and cannot figure out the single factor that is common to all those situations.

That describes a majority of the mainstream blaxploitation flicks: boring flicks saved by great soundtracks.

He has been accused of both rape and harassment by multiple women. Certainly, you see the inherent coercion in sex between a 22 year old intern and the President. You cannot condemn Weinstein, Cosby, and the rest, and forgive Bill Clinton. He used his power to sexually abuse women throughout his career, and Hillary…

Very well put, both you and OP. The “joy” question made me wince, at least the phrasing. The vast majority of sex crimes never make it to prosecution. So there is a victory here for his victims and other victims as well. But that doesn’t equate to joy. In fact, it’s a commentary on our culture and justice system that…

The question of does Weinstein’s arrest bring you joy is something that has really troubled me. The whole situation is awful, there is no joy in it. When the pictures of him in the handcuffs came up online and writers started asking his accusers how happy they’re feeling now he is arrested, it made me sick.

Mann has LAST OF THE MOHICANS, HEAT, and MANHUNTER. Those are A-grade for sure. COLLATERAL, THE INSIDER, and ALI might also count.

Note that temperatures in the high arctic in summer months range between 40-60F, with peaks into the 80’s. With nearly 24 hours of daylight, diminished winds and no rain, the arctic ironically becomes a desert nightmare. Think too of the feverishness of the dying and their layers of heavy clothing that would make the…

It did a great job of not weaving in too many plot threads, too, and paying off those that it did. Hickey found Crozier’s note early on? And they brought it back into play. Hickey robbed a grave? Hey, Goodsir found the ring he stole.

“Sorry tall people, ya gotta stand back”

If a short person doesn’t want to get stuck behind me, they can get to the venue before I do.

Yep. “Utterly baffling disaster averted,” elides the part where we still got an utterly baffling disaster out the whole thing.

Humorless slogs kill so many shows I would otherwise enjoy. Westworld is one of the few humorless shows I didn’t find a slog, but it definitely needed more levity.

A goalkeeper. Jesus Christ what is wrong with you people? I’m pointing out that the kid is tall and that is good to play the position of goalkeeper in the game of association football, better known as soccer. What is the matter with you dumb fucks? This isn’t rhetorical, I actually want you to answer me and help me to…

You are likely using uBlock Origin. If you are, you need to turn off “Cosmetic Filtering” on the domain level, for some reason it fucks with social media embeds like these.

Lane Meyer, truly a sight to behold. A man beaten. The once-great champion...now a study in moppishness. No longer the victory-hungry stallion we’ve raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed-up, aged ex-champion.

Gee, I’m real sorry your career blew up, Ricky.

Gang Starr was always an odd one for me. DJ Premier is great but I felt like, on a lot of the Gang Starr work, he would work out a great 20-30 seconds of music and then just loop it for the rest of the song. I often started out a Gang Starr song bumping it but would get kinda bored half way through. It didn’t help…
