I also like the over the back shot of Gus walking back to the party in Salud. It’s relatively brief but still impressive and, in context, badass. 

I was gonna say, “Oh god, stop milking it” but when I read the books one of my first thoughts was, “Man, I’d love to read a book about Haymitch” so I guess I’m finally getting it... just a decade later.

Almost every single host segment from Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a single take. Not much camera movement ever went on, but there’s quite a few times where they pulled off some impressively complicated stagecraft. Plus this time where Mike manages to hold the camera in a solid unblinking stare for nearly a full…

Nanook of the North was largely staged.

lol that scene RULED

And did you come up with an actual example to refute my argument.  You did not.  I mean, honestly.

I’m honestly trying to think of a piece of Disney SW content that tarnishes the Jedi. The prequels do, but they were made by Lucas.

Bad Batch is a good remedy to that feeling, hardly any Force stuff going on at all in that series.

my current Star Wars hot take (esp after watching the prequels) is there’s too much exposure to the Jedi. They’re overpowered, and too self-serious. It’s like reading Lord of the Rings, finding Gandalf to be awesome (correctly), and then making all subsequent Middle Earth media about groups, councils, cities of…

People obviously have different releationships with their phones because I don’t find the SMS option anywhere near infuriating. Even if you don’t make a habit of staring at your phone, if you’re waiting for an important message, it feels like a small inconvenience to increase the volume and turn on vibrate to make…

What’s wrong with beepers that make a violently-loud noise and try to jump out of your hands when the table is ready? They’re at least noticeable and they’ve worked fine for decades.

Sounds like your friends are the ones who should be having nightmares about a “social credit” system.

There are plenty of documentaries, and one fine semi-autobiographical film, that detail the darker side of the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson’s story.

He always sounded like he was trying to squeeze too many words into too few bars of music to me.

We think Eminem’s ability to rap quickly doesn’t outweigh the repetitiveness of his songwriting. Shredding doesn’t mean shit when you can’t write a new hook or express an idea or emotion that you haven’t already beaten into the ground. 

Yeah, there’s a difference between “relevant” and “remained decent enough to not fuck up their legacy”.

He used to be great but sorry this video sucked ass bro don’t know what to tell you. 

Chuck D was 60 when the last Public Enemy album came out in 2020 and it was a banger which included “State of the Union (STFU)“ that didn’t mince words about a certain felon we all love. Also included a nearly 80 year old George Clinton on multiple tracks.

Speaking frankly, I struggle to name an artist who has remained relevant and prolific into old age; Zevon was a cult figure and was in his mid-50s when he passed, and Bowie’s career was in the wilderness from the mid-80s to when he soft-retired in the mid-00s (don’t get me wrong; Blackstar is a monolith). Offhand I…

Per the Guardian article he’s requesting compensatory damages and legal fees in addition to the ticket price. I couldn’t find the amount of the damages but I think he is trying to milk this beyond “I didn’t get what I paid for and want a refund.”
