I've been advocating for creating an open thread on The Solute, so we can indoctrinate others into our ranks.

Reluctantly… 20th Century Women.

I think it's far superior to any of their 2000s work (I don't like Atomic Bomb at all, and like All That You Can't Leave Behind and No Line about the same; they got some terrific songs, dragged down by some real painful chaff), and I do love Songs of Innocence, but not as much as Pop. Leaving aside that some of the…

I will never not be amused by the fact that the soundtrack to goddamn Batman & Robin contains an R.E.M. Monster/New Adventures in Hi-Fi reject with the lyrics "Oliver North is running for Senate / Bomb the abortion clinic".

Nothing but respect for my president.

I wish this was the impetus for my avatar change, but it wasn't; happy birthday to Greta Gerwig!

And I'd like to trade Mary Magdalene for Roman Israel, Esq.

Logan Lucky will deliver us to the promised land, liberate us from the scourge of terrible franchise filmmaking, and win every Oscar next year. And it'll be a pretty good sleeper hit too.

I mean, I'm positive Mike Mills doesn't love 20th Century Women as much as I do, so you're in the clear.

I saw A Ghost Story today, oh boy

Hello. I decided, as much as I love her in the movie, Mia in Purple Rose (and Disqus's inelegant cropping of her) was getting a little old, so I made a change to something/someone a little more reflective of what I'm talking about now. I wish I could do it to my Twitter avi too, but Mike Malone is probably only…
