Can’t wait to fall asleep watching this!

I don’t know why anyone would clamour to be in the RNR Hall Of Fame. Any voting body that would honor Eric Clapton three times and The Slits zero times seems like a complete waste of time. What’s the value of being placed among a group of loudly lauded mediocrity? It’s validation that music is popular enough to be…

Unless they are at death’s door, never believe a musician when they say they’re retiring, that this is their last tour. It never sicks.

I was similarly naïve, only I had to stick it out for more than a year because I needed the money and the local job market wasn’t great at the time. I thought I’d be the type of low pressure and honest salesperson people say they want. Turns out they don’t buy from that guy. They buy from the guy up the road that put…

While you’re definitely on to something, I feel like there’s also an element of “poppiness” that influences how artists age that is independent of genre. I feel like the older artists who are successful have built careers on riskier sounds without pandering to pop aesthetics. They’re not writing for Spotify plays…

Wire is still making great music.

I think anyone considered “the best” wouldn’t make their absolute reliance on a rhyming dictionary so obvious.

I like the video for the most part, but somebody in his inner circle, PLEASE stop him from going back to these terrible punchlines. The interpolation choruses too. The whole throwback angle doesn’t work when he keeps going back to the well that made him fall off in the first place.

yeah all of the corpse stuff was....misguided. i’ve softened on it as a whole in the last 20 years, but it’s super georgebushcore and has all of bay’s worst instincts on display.

Will is a cretin, and Lawrence looks puffy likes his entire diet is nothing but bags of salt. Count me out

You never had a gimlet?

It’d be nice if someone would invent a drug that temporarily made you mentally regress to being 8 years old. Then I’d have a reason to be interested in a GI Joe-Transformers crossover.

Because the ones you had to watch what you say around - parents, teachers, bosses - were figures of authority whom you were obliged to respect.

people feel they must measure their language to take into account other people’s feelings

“What’s the story with all these pansy boys?!? And have you noticed that the darker races no longer seem happy to stay in their place at the bottom of the social hierarchy?!? What is going on?!?”

Wikipedia says he released her first record and she’s been with him since, so maybe it has just been easier to keep dancing with the one who brung ya, especially if it’s not broke, rather than find a new label and negotiate a new deal.

So.. he likes a guy who’s into sports and reads.

Interviews. Articles on film sites. Being a writer myself. Working in the Story Dept at Sony for a number of years (I didn’t deal with auteurs personally but I read their drafts). Dealing with writer-directors, many of whom started out as actors or have done a bunch for their buddies. Granted, those experiences have…

There is only one perfect kids’ movie, and that’s Ernest Scared Stupid!
