Walking Away is as close as it gets I think

And I feel like that was the major criticism a lot of people had for their last album, ie. that it was overproduced/it didn't sound like the band sounds live/reflect their performance abilities. I figured that was something they'd try to back off from on a second album but seems not, I like the record but they get…

I saw Danielle when she used to tour with Jenny Lewis back in the day and she was already cool as hell and that was almost a decade ago yikes

I feel like Ariel is the fourth sister at this point in terms of his contributions as producer. I don't disagree with your assessment.

I can't be the only one who grew up with Dope Farmer on the old Texas Instruments calc, surely?

I loved him defending disco to Jackie Moreno in episode 3 when Jackie says it has no feeling. "Hey man, disco is ALL f——— feeling"

Everything they did with Dizzee in the back half of the season felt off. Apparently Jaden signed on to do significantly less than the other kids because of other projects, but the first six episodes really built his storyline up as something unique and genuinely interesting and it feels like they couldn't figure out…

The front half of the season attempted to touch on some of these issues, but the back half backed off them (sometimes pretty hard). In the earlier episodes it was a bit of a running joke that most of the characters hated disco and Cadillac's very genuine love of it complicated him a bit as a villain (in a way I…

It's especially weird because older Zeke's voice is so recognisably Nas, who is about as iconic a Queens rapper as you can get, but Nas is a vastly better lyricist than the show's writing which leads you to wonder why he got the job at all when it wasn't for historical accuracy and couldn't have been for the writing…

I burned through the whole of part 2 yesterday and I have… thoughts and feelings. I might drop back in in a couple days.

The pacing of the first season made me feel like this was an idea Baz had for a movie but ended up stretching over six episodes.

I am glad someone else felt that's what they were using it for. That and the anachronistic original music. They reuse the same animations several times too.

Nah I'm with you. I don't think it's a "good" movie but I find it enjoyable. It's also my favourite thing to watch when my insomnia is bad or I get too stoned, because nothing really happens and I find it calming, or something. The Lucas, Mark and Eddie characters are fun, it has some mildly good gags, and it's…

I never saw Titanic either, which gave rise among my friends to the term "a Titanic" meaning "something you've never done just to say you haven't done it." "Don't make this a Titanic"

The magic=drugs thing is such a waste too when you realise they had already actually laid the groundwork for Willow's problem to be power and not magic per se. It's been a while since I did a rewatch so I might be wrong but doesn't it already come up (in passing conversation) in season 4 that Willow is becoming too…

This is a super astute succinct summary of how I felt about Giles leaving. It also explains why I loved chipped Spike in season 4 as much as I did; the character fell apart for me the more allowances they made for his chip to not function.

I completely agree, and possibly the whole reason I like the film is that I like the hotel-as-liminal-space setting that facilitates that interaction, especially as someone who bounces around hotels quite a bit. Somewhere uses the same device, I think it's something Coppola understands pretty well.

I have always felt that Coppola changing the order of the events at the end of the story for the film hurts whatever kind of commentary it contains. In the book, Mary doesn't complete her suicide at the same time as the other girls but the reaction from the community is still one that, like the boys narrating, treats…

Particularly ballsy given the samples only appear in the video clip and not the recording. How does the law deal with music videos I wonder?

I remember thinking this when the song first came out. I hope they get a settlement.
