"I’m itching to know what the exact creative differences were."
In the best rock n roll tradition, doesn't this usually mean, "I'm not paying you, don't let the door hit you on the way out". Some preemptive belt tightening for S2?

"Dewey Cox needs to think about his whole life before he goes on stage"

Almost everything about the last season of BE was a mess. To think it wrapped up early so they could make Vinyl. And then Winter gets kicked off that, sorry, leaves due to artistic differences or whatever the line is. Pfft.

Eh, it adds to the fun. It was hilarious hearing a character say "bollocks" in a mainstream YA show, which is a level below the F bomb, but not a phrase you'd hear pre watershed back in the day this side of pond.

There was a fascinating article last week on strategypage about PTSD. Israeli scientists are studying PTSD & there's evidence of similarities to concussion. There's possible physical components to PTSD, and they're developing treatments on that basis.

Odd, you'd think the Jackson estate would be flogging the rights to cash in. Anecdotally when McCartney told Jacko how much he made from rights, Jacko decided to buy them. Can't imagine HBO having the same budget available for S2.

Someone on a previous Vinyl recap had a budget of $100 million for S1 of Vinyl. Don't think Mick is getting many discounts, it's a pretty hard nosed industry I'd imagine

"too many meaty..man parts for guys"

Maybe Cranston had the good sense to walk away from a potential CV eraser. Other than a boatload of cash, there was no reason to get involved in a Synder SuperBatman grimfest that was always going to be critically slated. Even if it turned out to be Citizen Kane it was going to be slaughtered.

Any part of it down to CTE? Could that make you violent & cause memory loss?

It's the Onion becoming self aware

Is there much learning in the code? It's taking whatever guff is directed at it & regurgitating it as nonsense. It's just parsing text without any understanding of what it's "communicating" back. Ok, teenagers etc but doesn't seem terribly sophisticated

It should be "Dress British, think Yiddish". This show is the blurst

Never heard that, but quite possible, Zeppelin are a huge influence on the album. The first album was so era defining & iconic, they were probably on a hiding to nothing no matter what

No! We must projects our own thoughts, beliefs and prejudices onto even the most trivial & humdrum cultural events and I am in no way insane.

It's the album that John Squires wanted to make and it's a fine piece of work. Unfortunately it arrived both years too late, and about five albums too early. There was such anticipation for the album, there wasn't even anger, just sadness that it wasn't as stunning as their first. Also the lead song/single was "Love…

AI. Indeed. Realistically, they spent God knows how much time and effort to create a parrot. Great job, Microsoft!

More publicly well known celebrities and artists now also. Back in the 20's there was Rudolph Valentino, Charlie Chaplin & … that was it. Johan Cryuff died today also, not a great day for grumpy geniuses.

And William "Manny Horvitz" Forsythe. And don't forget Remus. Everyone forgets Remus.

Jesus, is it Tuesday again already?
