I’ll echo the sentiments of others, that nepotism will only get you so far before you get sidelined. Did Maya Hawke have help getting her foot in the door? Absolutely. But she’s also done the work, and has the drive, and few would argue that doesn’t have incredible ability and camera presence. Compare to, say, Chet…

Sheeeeeeit… a man’s gotta have a code.

Yeah, Jaden Smith immediately comes to mind of a sidelined nepokid, whereas Willow Smith for the most part has a lot of musical talent. Seems odd when they’re from the same family.

So, one season per body, then?

Going back to my youth, the Onion had a story that stuck with me headlined

he still holds a lot of cachet with creaky edgelords who conflate speed with skill when it comes to rap

*looks around confused* I think I’m hearing things.

Hughes et al once made their DM so mad that he stopped their D&D game. Not that hard.

Ouch! Right in the gloin.

I’m not into dwarves.

Forget this, I want a show about a group of friends falling out after a screening of Tim Burton’s ‘Planet of the Apes’. (If any film could make people never want to see each other again, it would be that one.)

what are you talking about they all put out stuff like that all the time to make fun of us. amazon just made fallout. ‘corporations’ are the bad guys in like half the stuff that comes out.

Onward gets a lot of hate but it hit me hard. As a table top gaming nerd I liked it but also as a Dad of two sons.

Have you seen Turning Red? It's no Spiderverse, but it's decidedly not Pixar's typical house style either. I think they went in the right direction with it too. They've covered pretty much all the early childhood conflicts and fears in their other movies, preteen girlhood (and I assume boyhood) is so rich in other…

It’s a non sequitur response to the topic. “Jerry Seinfeld has terrible political opinions” and “ I never liked Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy” have nothing to do with each other. The implication of this statement is that somehow, through your dislike of his comedy material, you were able to predict that his future…

I honestly never liked his comedy though. No overcompensation needed.

Circa 1978, I used to get confused about which was Pacino, which was Hoffman, and which was Springsteen.

I saw Black Keys at Lolla in 2007 in the middle of the day. I stayed pretty far back and ate while listening to them and ditched them early to go get a good spot for LCD Soundsystem. Anyway, I distinctly remember noting that I would imagine black keys would be better in a small club than in the big open field in the…

I had a couple responses to this article which I wrote and deleted, but this sums up my thoughts best. The last few shows I went to (before kids and COVID) were all acts I enjoyed years ago doing tours in medium-sized venues for reasonable prices. I get that everyone wants to do T Swift/Beyonce/Coachella type numbers,…

But, how did the rest of your date with the Black Keys go?
