Michel Gondry was exciting for about 10 years but that was about 10 years ago. This new thing seems to be trying very hard to be naïve, but that’s not how naïveté works.

Maybe it’s because the video was shaky but the audience didn’t seem to care at all, like they didn’t even realize that guy was pretending to be Dave Grohl.

I’m distracted by the phrase “all songs supervised by top professionals.” Who are these top professionals? In what way did they supervise? Is this meant to be an ironic joke or an actual selling point?

That video is as beautiful as a rock in a cop’s face.

I think what the ghost question really reveals is who’s comfortable resisting a silly question and who would rather just play along. Most actors, at least from what I’ve heard, have been unconsciously trained to say yes to everything.

I’m fine with pooping in a public restroom as long as there’s a stall door. When I was in high school most of the stalls in the bathrooms didn’t have doors, so that was quite unpleasant.

I’m not a fan of putting “fans” in quotes. You can be a piece of shit and still be a genuine fan of something. I mean, the word comes from “fanatic” after all.

I think I’ve always had this notion that I’m under someone else’s observation, probably because when I was little, adults told me that God and Santa Claus were watching my every move to make sure I didn’t do anything naughty. I still go through life with the subconscious assumption that I’m under constant surveillance…

I read the description of the episode and was annoyed by the notion that if Sherlock is into men then he must therefore be in a relationship with his closest friend. I haven’t listened to it, though; maybe that’s not the angle they go with.

Oh, and I recently came across this and can’t stop watching it.

I watched All The President’s Men after watching The Post and realizing it was basically a prequel, though I think the two movies only share two characters. All The President’s Men was certainly the better one. I do have a few complaints though. Despite being over 2 hours long it doesn’t really have an ending. Instead…

I like how Stan glances at both his coworker and the mail robot as if they’re of equal standing... although maybe he just hates that coworker.

So many questions left, mostly of the “what happens next?” variety. When the USSR falls apart, how will Philip and Elizabeth react? Will they visit America? Will Philip visit Martha and her adopted daughter? How will he get along with his son Misha? Will Oleg be released? How will Henry deal with the whole thing?…

The Emmys made their irrelevance clear when they basically ignored The Wire.

I looked back at the scene and I don’t see the name of the point, but it says “kontrola paszportowa,” which is Polish. I assume they passed through Poland then drove for a while before meeting with Arkady.

Jerry Lee Lewis? I am perplexed. I didn’t even know he was still alive.

That would be a good way to resonate with Nina’s fate. I feel like the show has forgotten about her, aside from her being what ties Stan and Oleg together.

...Never mind.

I watched Kenneth Branagh’s Murder On The Orient Express. I thought it was pretty enjoyable, though it got bad reviews. I guess they’re comparing it to the original novel and other adaptations (dozens of actors have played Poirot, and John Malkovich just added his name to that list). Maybe I’m better off for not…

“You finish a film these days and right away you have this pressure to write about it in words,” Lynch reportedly said, adding that it’s important to sit with a film and process your thoughts and feelings about it before writing—or tweeting!—about it.
