I have absolutely no idea what an “Ethics Bowl” is, but I’m imagining some sort of sports event where stealing the ball, conducting plays designed to fake out the other team, and so on are penalized.

this comment was better than the article

FYI for those going “I thought weed was legal there”. It actually is complicated. Basically “coffee” shops are allowed to sell it in small quantities and it’s intended to be consumed on premise. Possesion outside that setting is still illegal and because of the illegality basically everywhere else in the EU, its…

That’s a great little manifesto of a letter.

RIP. The record “pitch” letter he wrote to Nirvana is legendary and aspirational to anyone, but especially those who make, record or produce music:

I’m trying not to get unreasonably optimistic here, but since the sale to Paste I’ve seen a couple of articles here and there that have made me think, “Hmm, that seems more like the old AVC”. Maybe - just maybe - there might be a rejuvenation happening?

But not the movie it HAS to be. Gareth Edward’s Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, Minus One, The Monarch TV show on Apple, all of these showed that you can actually make compelling movies where people care about the human characters. The Legendary Monsterverse just abandoned this at the time of King of the Monsters and…

A courage that Ke Huy Quan expressed so beautifully in Everything Everywhere All At Once

I’m surprised that Lady Eboshi is mentioned as the anti-villain of Princess Mononoke, when she’s arguably an anti-hero, much like Sen: she’s protecting lepers and sex workers who have been abused and abandoned by the rest of society, providing them with a place to stay, work and live with dignity, and arming them to…

Evil is less a person in Miyazaki’s films that you overcome and defeat than it is a condition that spreads and which needs to be resisted and changed. The fascists in Porco Rosso are at the gates, Eboshi is tearing the world apart, Sophie is surrounded by war, Laputa is harvested for destruction, and the heroes have…

I haven’t seen all of these films so I stopped reading to spare any spoilers!

They need to have a Drummer’s Memorial Wall that no one actually comments on, you just see it in the background.

You can’t print that!

“They were still booing him when we came onstage!”

I’m just hoping for the Folksmen getting booed off the stage.

IT NEEDS TO BE RINGO.

...or Animal from The Electric Mayhem.

I’m glad he said it they way he did - they’re in it to have some more fun. If they’re having fun with it, I’m happy. The original will always be great regardless of what comes next—great enough that if what comes next sucks, we’ll probably just forget about it. Kinda like the ok but not great thing they did in the…

I’m hoping for Dave Grohl.

Uh oh, we know this band’s history with drummers. Watch out McCartney!
