I am hoping for more in the way of backstory or, hell, any exposition, on Bobby and Shelley. However, I have a strong hunch we are not going to get it in The Return. However, we have been promised much in the way of connecting the end of the OS to the beginning of The Return in the form of Mark Frost's upcoming…

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. You make alot of good points regarding Interstellar's flaws. I must admit, I am not up on my science enough to catch most of the errors they made. I did watch an hour long youtube video with some high-faluting, published astronomers give a conference at MIT following the films…

Am I the only one that found Arrival dreadfully boring and hackey? The characters were one-note in two dimensions. Even Forrest Whitaker couldnt elevate his material. He even switched his accent halfway through out of desperation, it seemed.
As for Interstellar, that movie was waaay better than I was expecting it…

I know its just a stupid letter grade and not all that important, but what is up with that A-? If this episode does not deserve a solid A, I simply cannot fathom what does. (answer to my own question: the season finale of Better Call Saul. Which was excellent as well, but I have to say I would give the edge to the…

I can definitely see your POV re: Dekalog I being too heavy-handed of a polemic, but I watched it and was thoroughly entertained from a slightly alternative viewpoint: not as a faith vs. atheism morality tale, but as a highly prophetic cautionary tale on the dangers of leaning too heavily on technology, to the point…

Go chu a dik, you self-important twat.

hilarious, dikachu. only im not regurgitating anything (i wouldnt know how to-im so far left of center, i stopped paying attn to corporate media long ago). her track record speaks for itself.

Hillary is just as corrupt, but in a larger playing field. She does not need to openly buy up politicians and extort money when the system she helped create already sucks up vast sums of money for her in a "legal" way. Remember, she also played a huge role in drumming for war in Iraq, arming ISIS and destabilizing…

Nothing can log him now, cause he dont coop anymore. Nothing can log him now cause he just dont coop.

interesting. i am a casual fan of good news and the next 2, but i feel like there was a definite breakout into a much more produced, shiny, straightforward, dance-oriented sound and the lyrics and singing/rapping also went downhill (recycling old ideas can only go so far). youre right about the instrumentation being…

as someone who also gets deeply into certain music and identifies with said music and whatever scene there might be for it, i can relate to what you are talking about. it's gotten easier for me, as i've aged (35 now), to identify pricks based not on their musical tastes and fashion sensibilities, but their general…

disco dancing neighbors caught with their pants down

i too am particularly fond of this album. it reminds me a lot of that modest mouse ep everywhere and his nasty parlor tricks, which is also great. i remember those days post-m&a, hearing this unhinged, tweaked, dirty, psychedelic, synthesizer-and-tom-waits-percussion, and thinking that the future of modest mouse was…

assholes who thought they'd been bullied? is that a thing? so they weren't actually bullied, but they have a persecution complex? i dunno, sounds like a whole lot of speculative nothing to me. modest mouse makes good music—that's why alot of people enjoy it. the lyrics are cynical and obviously come from a…

have you seen new waterford girl? its moyle's followup to putv set in nova scotia. pretty solid lil flick (it's no putv, but few are)

i love michael keaton. thanks for that quote! :-)

There's actually quite a bit of humor to Tool. The songs Hooker with a Penis and Disgustipated come to mind immediately as complete joke tunes. There are even comedic interludes in which recipes for cookies are recited in German as a Hitler-esque diatribe. I mean, heck, what more do you want? A few winding samples…
