I'll say it's one of the best TV shows I've seen for a long time. It explores themes that no other show has, plus the beautiful location filming, the amazing use of music, and the diversity of the cast.

I enjoy Black's schtick in this film except for the scene where he rags on the guy for wanting to buy 'I Just Called To Say I Love You'. Not only was the guy buying for his daughter, which should exempt him from scorn, but it's not as if that song is really all that bad. It's certainly no lamer in it's tone and style…

Having to use practical effects meant that filmmakers had to frame and shoot the scenes in a certain way, and devise clever ways to work around the effects' limitations. Without those limitations, there's been a tendency to just throw everything up on screen regardless of whether it adds to the story or not.

I know you're being sarcastic, but it was having to work without sound helped people develop the art of visual humour, and having to work without colour pushed filmmakers to develop the styles of expressionism and film noir.
So, y'know, sometimes imposed limitations can be a good thing.

She starred in a really excellent YouTube series about the fallout of a sexual assault in the military, which I don't think was ever concluded. :-/ Shame, because it was an insightful critique of a big problem.

Is this the same 'Fat Jew' that has his own show on Apple Radio? Because if so, then it seems Apple has sunk lower in their eagerness to appeal to Millineals than even hiring Jaden Smith would suggest

That's where you get the difference between people who like vinyl for the 'warmer sound quality' and all that, and people who like vinyl because of the tactile sense of the record and the more elaborate packaging and suchlike. I'm in the latter camp, as I can't hear much audio difference.
It means some albums are…

It's not your fault I'm an Australian. I wish I had someone to blame though :-)

That's in the US. I'm in Australia, so…

I came here to say the same thing.
She would have made an excellent Squirrel Girl.

Yvonne Strhovski & Shane Black in the old West. That sounds lIke a surefire recipe to me.

I'm listening to this now. This is the first I've heard of this band. So far I really like it. It's great to hear a rock album with some ambition in this day and age.

And 'Lonely Boy'. The opening chords sound straight of of Tommy

I also like the idea of the McGuffin simply being a McGuffin with no explanation.

I assume that time in a freak carnival in South America messed you up…

I can't imagine what kind of messed-up desperate psyche would benefit from a random vague affirmation from faceless strangers.

I hate the idea that you can't dislike anything popular without being branded a hipster. As if it's only ironic contrarianism.
How is it that, with the internet giving us all a wider variety of choice, we take it even more for granted that everybody is into the same shit? Shouldn't mainstream culture be less…

I'd prefer a song that actually makes me feel happy. And that's not likely to be a song that treats me like a coin-operated child where you put happy sounds in and get happy thoughts.

Geez. What even is the point of that? What effect is it supposed to have?

I miss when people were cynical about blatant appeals to positivity from the culture industry. These days it's like people are afraid to be judged as a mean-spirited hipster if they let out a little negativity.
