Speaking of Yoko Ono, did anyone happen to catch the performance on the Twin Peaks Revival: Episode 8? I'm trying not to give away spoilers, but the fact that the singer's wife was front and center, essentially just to dance and sort of play the tambourine, struck me as absurd. TR couldn't have missed the irony of

How funny, I clicked on the link you sent and it took me to the video, which I apparently watched at some point and abandoned around the thirty minute mark. I have no memory of watching it, but YouTube never lies.

I could never get into Eno. I love Bowie, and I read that they collaborated on a few records (or maybe Eno was a producer on Low), but when I tried to listen to his stuff it just seemed so . . . pointless. Then again, I've never been much into ambient. Any Eno album you'd recommend?

I think I was at the same show. Or at least the same tour. I just couldn't remember who he was opening for. I'm not much of a Porcupine Tree fan, but I went to the show for the express purpose of seeing the founder of one of my all-time favorite bands.

In my opinion, Fripp was always the worst part of King Crimson. Sure, the dude can play a million notes a minute, but he always came off as stiff, mechanical and bored - it didn't help that he was always sitting down because that is supposed to be the "proper" way to play the guitar. I saw him play a solo gig about

Have you seen the Aladdin show at Disneyland? It's ostensibly a show for kids, but Genie is surprisingly snarky and full of contemporary celebrity and political references that no kid would get. And the references are updated each year. The last time I saw the Genie made a comment about Kim Kardashian's huge ass.I was

Agreed. I was thinking about that - how I feel like a lot of the complaints people have of Marvel and DC movies looking so bland and colorless, also applies to the second half of the Harry Potter movies.

I re-listened to Order of the Phoenix on audio book recently, and was struck by how bizarre that whole sequence was. I agree that they should have found room for it in the movie, but it was genuinely weird in a way that was not reproduced in any other book in the series.

Not like what they did with Half Blood Prince. I was so excited to see it in theaters, and I remember walking out with my friend and being like, "what happened to the rest of the Voldemort flashbacks?" And why the FUCK did the director and/or screenwriter choose to emphasize the snogging stuff, which, I should point

I like your screen name. Pete Campbell has some of the best quotes in the show. It took me a second to realize why it sounded familiar.

Though I strongly disagree, I get that argument. Curon is a total visionary. He obviously put a lot of thought into the color pallet and overall tone of Azkaban. When I first saw it in theaters, I remember getting goosebumps during that transition shot of the flower blooming and then withering as a dementor passed by

My takeaway from this article is that my feelings of reverence for the Harry Potter universe is not unique. But it's pretty great that the series had such a powerful effect on so many people. I read the books when I was a lonely sophomore in high school, and they quite literally changed my life. I had never read a

How funny, as a kid I never realized there were two different intros. Having just listened to them back to back, I think I prefer the B-52's version.

My enthusiasm at hearing this news was only matched by the news a while back that the Entourage movie was green-lit. And look how that turned out!

That's the best CGI sewer drain I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of CGI sewers.

I agree. Plus, Paul's songs tend to be pretty short, so if it's a song you don't like it will be over in three minutes.

I think you're right. I believe they played a total of 3 or 4 songs. Another thing I never understood about the rooftop performance is, how interesting could it have been visually? Unless you were on the roof of an adjacent building, you wouldn't be able to see the band. And what about sound? Again they were on the

I'm a little surprised nobody has called attention to the fact that Tom Cruise is 54-years-old (and is finally starting to look it), yet Annabelle Wallis is 32. That's nearly a twenty year difference. There are plenty of age-appropriate actresses who would have done well in that part. Unfortunately I can't think of

In case you didn't catch it, he's in the first few season of Six Feet Under. His character is great.

I agree. So far each episode has been truly great. It feels like the series is how Lynch wanted it in the original run, but without studio interference. But, damn, this episode seemed completely pointless. Actually I'll amend that to say the Dougie plot seemed to go nowhere. As I watched it last night, I was glad that
