It’s a fair point though. All Katie was saying was that OG Suspiria excelled technically and aesthetically but didn’t care much at all about character, dialogue, narrative, themes, etc. 

And Elementary is just fun

Where was there pretend secrecy? Maybe I missed some press release about that but it feels like this complaint is something that the internet manifested out of sheer desire to be mad at this movie for something. 

>I don’t know anyone interested in this film, on an I’m-so-excited-let’s-keep-talking-about-it!level. On a stream-it-whenever that-happens level? Sure. On a maybe-if-we-want-to-see-a-scary-movie-for-Halloween level? Yeah, a few.

Even if the film isn’t predicated upon shocking the audience or a single defining twist, there’s a lot to be said for experiencing something at the same pace as the characters. Knowing the plot won’t ruin most films, but it does fundamentally alter how you engsge with it and prevent you from the singular experience of…

But Korra, despite its floundering second season, had more compelling stories, more interesting developments in the world, was consistently more funny, and took the animation and music up a few notches extra.

It was one of the best shows of the year though. 

Isn’t the Ballad of Buster Scruggs coming to Netflix and Theaters in like two months? 

Here’s the thing though—CRAs is very good.

The first five or so episodes were quite good as well—the middle sagged a bit for sure, but I’d rate this show a solid 7/10, just about what I’d give the first season of the Simpsons (Futurama, controversially enough, easily had the strongest first season of all three).

Did this fail, though? By my estimates, it was largely successful and consistently very entertaining. 

Coloring Book universally adored? Buddy, I think you need to get off the internet and talk to some folks because outside of critical spheres that record was straight up maligned.

Bloc Party, especially in their first two records, owed everything to Radiohead. The guitar tones and playing in particular is extremely reminiscent to Jonny’s very frantic but measured style on OK Computer. Then there’s the electronic elements they introduced later on, which is something Radiohead popularized in…

Imagine thinking music died in the 90s lmao

I wouldn’t call Radiohead prog at all though. They’re one of the great examples of the post-modern band (working primarily in pastiche, pulling in influences from jangle pop, grunge, post-hardcore, goth, folk, krautrock, electronics, IDM, Jazz, etc etc to create a unique hodgepodge), but I don’t think that much of…

Rock music in the 2000s was completely indebted to Radiohead from top to bottom. Be it your Muses or your Bloc Parties or your Arcade Fires or... whatever, most of them were heavily indebted to Radiohead’s sonic and commercial legacy.

If you have to name drop Rush to discredit a band that gloriously and very openly steals from Can, it’s a great indication that you probably aren’t actually as cool as you think you are  

Nah, The Bends is one of their worst records. It’s aged very poorly and about a third of it flops—even if the highs are still there in a very 90s, alt-rocky way. Give me A Moon Shaped Pool or In Rainbows any day.

This is a wildly bad take, especially since they’ve put out three of their best records in the past 20 years.

SOPHIE tho
