Her solo work is middling, AOR friendly fluff. The Pretenders were a smoking hot act that were never the same after Honeyman-Scott and Farndon croaked. I don’t think I am saying anything controversial, am I?

Marigold Hotel 2. It wasn't bad in the sense that it was miscast, or poorly edited, or failed between the idea and execution. Other than getting Richard Gere a check, there was no point in making it.

What was the one with the giant painting/prints of record covers (and maybe an orange crate thing going on)?

He chose the formalized, stilted and oft badly acted style of 30's serials and 50's sci-fi movies. Like everything else in those productions, there was no one to tell him no.

Which is funny because the labels thought that pre-Beatles stuff wasn't worth much, and the rights for the movie were a steal. As a result of this movie everything is now evergreen, rights fees went up, and you have a bunch of TV shows in syndication missing key music elements.

It's been a long time since Lorne had the monopoly as comedic gatekeeper to the industry. SNL is no longer a means to an end, it's now where you end up. Middling talent aiming at a middle of the road audience. That's fine as far as it goes, but occasionally hitting on some dopey bit (and then drive it into the ground)…

This show is a pile of retarded shit, and you're going to be out of work soon.

Way better than the movie.

A more relevant American contextualization would be Six Flags - they bought up a bunch of traditional amusement parks, branded the shit out of them and then bankrupted the whole lot.

sheds single, solitary clown tear in the rain…

Dad was a music industry exec.

I suspect there's a difference between creating social media hits and increasing same store sales. All the BK's around me have closed.

I can deal with the uncanny valley animation, but their presence in The Polar Express… fuck that. No timeless holiday classic involves Aerosmith.

EPCOT has way better food options.

My roofing crew listened to Norteño. Most of the factory floors I was on back in the day got stuck with that one old white jackass blasting Rush Limbaugh. Maybe Stern has the current variation of that get off my lawn audience.

Love Story remake set in the first three movies timeline. Boom! Done.

She dumped that drunken abusive redneck and is now living in Venice Beach with Stretch Armstrong. She's super cut, and does fetish videos.

In the Oz books Toto could talk - that's probably where that was coming from. I don't think he tapped Dorothy, but he and Queen Ann Soforth of Oogaboo had a thing.

Brand? Yes. Business plan? No.

Yep. It's been done at least a couple of times as one of those air disaster dramatic re-enactment shows.
