It’s a lot more than 10%

Hate to defend George Lopez, but fuck all hecklers. Shut the fuck up. It doesn’t matter that the comments were “positive”. This goes for dipshits singing along and screaming at concerts too.

Stax >>> Motown

I’m a big fan of Stax. I visited the site and grabbed a brick decades ago. I was a little disappointed by the documentary, though. It does more focusing on the label than it does on the artists. I guess I expected more on the artists. Mavis Staples is still around. No interview? I just felt they could have done more…

Eh, I feel confident at the very least 20 of those will be cameos possibly even of characters that won’t appear like Iron Man.  Maybe more.

I certainly get the sense that Yang is liberal, but it doesn’t necessarily follow from that that he’s outraged by all the things that liberal online spaces are angry about. Comedians tend to be pretty forgiving about other comedians’ jokes, since a whole lot of the job involves saying things that you think will…

Scott is so hit or miss that his endorsement is extra meaningless. 

The producer saying something is a good endorsement? It really, really isn’t

The thing I always loved about the Romulans was that it seemed like they had just one state sanctioned haircut. 

The whole “training Jedi from birth” is seriously one of Lucas’ single worst ideas. 

Ever since the Halo series started, I’ve been hoping Star Wars would also get an entry that has the guts to say “You know, it’s kind of fucked up that the supposed heroes of this franchise regularly kidnap children to raise as soldiers.” This review and some others give me hope that this might be getting there.

And Andor!

my current Star Wars hot take (esp after watching the prequels) is there’s too much exposure to the Jedi. They’re overpowered, and too self-serious. It’s like reading Lord of the Rings, finding Gandalf to be awesome (correctly), and then making all subsequent Middle Earth media about groups, councils, cities of…

I always roll my eyes a bit at the 80s “because cocaine” justification but this may actually be the legit result of a whole bunch of people high as shit at exactly the same time.

When the Go-Go’s released their documentary, they used the press as a platform to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Sheryl Crow flat out stated that she agreed to a documentary so she too would have a better shot at getting into the Hall of Fame (she did BTW)

When people say “You wouldn’t be able to make this today” they’re usually wrong and taking silly shots at their view of woke culture.

The early-blockbuster era is interesting because while the studios were moving away from the New Hollywood type of risk taking, they still couldn’t really tell what was going to catch people’s attention. Star Wars and Raiders and E.T. had all been original screenplays so it wasn’t all about branding or IP, so hey,…

Bill Paxton also got an early role in this as a comic-relief bartender. I unironically love this movie. Much like Hill’s earlier film The Warriors, it’s set in a world that looks superficially like the real world, but clearly had a different history than our own, and has a culture that is a mixture of elements from…

TIL that Cyndi’s version is a cover!
