They were all inspired by the original Ghost in the Shell, though. I don't know if all those films took it as an influence, but that late 90s early 2000s era of sci-fi, beginning with "The Matrix" was really influenced by it aesthetically. So it's an odd situation where if the director stays to close to the original…

Did you watch the whole run? I didn't like it based on the first two episodes as it seemed like a bad "Kenny Powers" retread. But as it progresses it develops the characters and goes to some interesting and unexpected places.

I wish we still had Ghost Space Nazis. Now it's all reality shows about blue collar workers.

It'll only be solved if the killer confesses. That happened with the Jacob Wetterling case a couple weeks ago. Turns out it was the creepy pedo neighbor everyone thought it was, but the police couldn't find any hard evidence against at the time.

I know lots of gamergaters and hang out (probably too much) in those circles. No one gives two fucks about ethics in journalism. Conscious or sub-conscious, it's all payback for all the women who won't fuck them.

Yes.

It's really not. If you turn it off, you are just living in ignorance as opposed to facing reality. And even if you do turn it off, something like this is going to get back to you, internet or no.

I can't imagine having sex to this album. Did you pause half way through to slit your wrists?

I love this album, but its second half is too dour and long and definitely could have used an edit. The meandering half songs "Not the Red Barron" and "Agent Orange" should have been left as b-sides. And I've never liked the sort of semi-bluesy, but not quite, thing "In the Springtime of His Voodoo" was going for. …

Amos never did Lilith Fair. She was big enough at the time not to need it.

I haven't even seen Mark Morrison. Seriously, who is he?

I'd be more excited had anything Swanberg had ever done been good. I've yet to see anything he's done that I liked though.

Skepta sounds exactly like early Dizzee Rascal to me, who won the Mercury way back in 2003. It's why I can't get excited about Skepta. Dizzee Rascal's first album still sounds like it's from the future, despite being 13 years old now.

I hate to criticize people for looks as lord knows I'm not great looking, but he has to be one of the ugliest men to ever get leading roles. He looks like Ted Cruz.

The wonders of cell phones:

The new revamp of "Cabaret" (or not new, I guess it's 20 years old now, but people still refer to it as new because it changes things considerably compared to the original staging) is the go to broadway show for non-singing actresses, though, because it's kind of written into it that Sally Bowles isn't a great singer…

She's lost her convention bounce and settled back into where she was pre-convention, which has everyone panicking. But her low right now is still 3 points over Trump, which just goes to show how everything is relative in politics. She's winning, but getting shit for not winning more. The media narrative is against…

Yeah. The musical has an odd and kind of random selection of songs from his entire career, not just 70s stuff. Apart from maybe "Changes," "Heroes," and "Life on Mars," it's not exactly a greatest hits show or a "Station to Station" era Bowie show. Which is cool. Or it sucks, I guess, depending on how excited you…

He's definitely affecting a "young, glam-era, David Bowie" voice rather than singing in his natural singing voice (he can sing really low too, actually, much like Bowie). I kind of like it, though. It makes me realize for the first time how well this song could actually fit into "Aladdin Sane" or "Diamond Dogs" if…

Kind of puzzling Fox Searchlight is having him do press at all. What did they think would happen?
