boy that ministry of ungentlemanly warfare was dogshit. boy every movie he’s made in the last 5 years has been dogshit*

The only “big” shows I’ve been to have been Ozzy Osbourne at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, where most of us were seated, and Powderfinger at Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre. Powderfinger was one of the finest concerts I’ve been too (and the venue is fantastic - and it’s owned by the local council).

Oh yeah, it’s definitely not another Just Like Heaven, but it’s absolutely the work of the band that did Pornography and about a quarter of Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me. I feel like it’s about as representative of their “typical” style as something like In Between Days, which mostly just serves to show how tricky pinning…

One of the reasons I love The Cure so much is their wildly different styles. Post-punk, Goth, Synth, Pop, hell they have a mariachi song in their catalog.

Yeah, good on them for trying, but The Black Keys oughtta be a $50 ticket (maximum) at the House of Blues or somesuch.

...hmmm if only there was something currently happening within the Justice Department that was pertinent to the question posed by this article.

It’s definitely one of their best, but it doesn’t stand out as a major stylistic departure to me?

Since it was written for the movie, I assume the whistling is mean to sound like birdsong.  But yeah that bass is just sleazy.  Love it.

“Burn” is an incredible song, and it becomes damn near transcendent in the context of the movie. Maybe even the best Cure song? 

Godzilla had a great soudtrack too

Every now and then I wonder if Werner Herzog is just trolling us 24/7. He’s not at all like this, he’s just a super committed performance artist.

If you can only see two Francis Ford Coppola movies, see Jack twice.

It did inspire the single best joke in Popstar, where his terrible album gets added to home appliances.

At the time, I did think it was weird that Spurlock was falling apart while he interviewed a guy who ate a Big Mac every day for like decades and that guy seemed to be in okay health.

1. Make a good movie that stands on its own while leveraging the original, without being a simple nostalgia service

We still haven’t really had a good sci-fi movie about the more realistic threat AI poses — that it may eliminate or severely downsize many different types of work all at once, without creating new human jobs in sufficient numbers to replace them. Previous technological advances have made some labor obsolete but also…

Oh wow, I thought John Ashton had died years ago.

Making a good movie is already hard enough. Making a followup to a beloved movie is even harder. Making it like forty years later is just asking for trouble.

Don’t forget trying to cut out season pass holders because they don’t spend enough money in the park.

I genuinely love Disney, took my kids there for the first time last year and we all had a great time... but the nickel and diming is really tough to stomach.  It’s very class-based.  Just look at the idea of Genie+. …

But Hawkeye was pretty great, right?
