What's amazing about it: you just know Stallone took great pains not to do some "sissy" musical, but something tough and virile and masculine… And THAT's what he came up with!

Yet, it is one of the most chronically watchable movies I can think of. It truly is just a '80s Rocky sequel (not Rocky itself) reformatted into the world of modern jazz dance, with all the dissonant testosterone and unnecessary machismo that brings with it. And it is glorious! I want to call it so bad it's good, but…

Ramsey had a no-comment clause in her contract. The producers took advantage of it to spread gossip.

Knowing Iggy, I'm expecting these to be the sort of the stuff you cant find on Netflix. More like the stuff you can only buy from some one-eyed Hassidic in some dusty Prague bookstore, where he keeps them stashed in a hidden compartment behind the hidden compartment of occult grimoires and medieval Persian erotica.

It's not a great album, but there are clearly good songs on that album. You might not like Bowie's whimsical, music-hall arrangements, but at the very least there's some amazing covers to be made by an adventurous musician.

Wasn't he and Tim Roth shopping around Knifeman as a miniseries not too long ago? The Knick ultimately explored the same material, so nothing doing now.

After seeing both their last two films, I've reached the conclusion that I'd love to see Demme do a screwball comedy and Bogdanovich to do anything but. It's really the best hope for either of them.

I don't know if that's implied. More that it was a fluke. Even Bogdanovich spends most of the sequel seemingly admonishing his younger self for making such a dour film.

I'm not sure what your question is.

Frankly, "Darkside/Gone" and "Animals" were bigger standouts to me on first listen.

Not really. 2001 has certainly stronger high points, but it also has worst low points, and is a much less cohesive than this.

This album really doesn't have any, outside a quasi-tasteless interlude halfway which is more like something out of Eminem. Which is fine by me: there's no "fucksounds" moment dragging down the second half.

I was actually surprised how much he pops up. I definitely feel he's a bigger presence here than on 2001.

Those expecting The Chronic 2015 are going to be sorely disappointed. This is not a summer party of weed and lowriders. This is a pretty dark and angry (sonically as much as lyrically) album. I don't think it's any mistake that the most overt throwback - "Genocide" - seems to be taking its cue from "The Day the N——z…

You are not going to like the mid-point of this album.

If not for the botched ending, I'd say it's a great movie.

The full cut is the 5+ hours miniseries version, if you can find it. It's certainly out there.

She mentioned that they had plans all to work together a few years back. Perhaps the whole catalyst for revisiting the show?

Yeah, well they passed on Hoke and renewed Tyrant, so maybe they have themselves to blame.

On the one hand, whitewashing. On the other, a blatant rejection of the prequels mythos.
