Out of curiosity, what age are we talking about? I was 30 when YHF came out and contrarian me was initially kind of meh about it, mainly because of the massive hype it got due to the whole Reprise thing. But my meh-ness didn’t last long and I recognized it as a pretty important and ground-breaking album, especially in…

It wasn’t in the slightest “shitty.” It may not have been a lot of fun, which is kind of a bad pairing considering it’s in front of a “fun” movie, but it was really well done. Also had half the audience in tears at the end.

The more I hear from Chris Pratt, the less I like him.

Eh, I don’t know. No, wait, I do know: literally none of what you mention has occurred to me, but maybe I’m just crazy and alone in just enjoying a very funny little show about quirky people in a weird situation.

Well, aren’t you a Little Miss Sunshine today.

But that’s the thing, he isn’t special on the island. He comes across that way at first because we don’t know anything about him, so he seems wise and in touch with whatever power is in the island. But rewatch it and you can see how from the start he was being played by what we ultimately know is the Man In Black,…

You all have apparently missed another contender for “worst cover ever” which comes in the form of Rob & Kirk’s “doodle” from earlier this year featuring “Dancing Queen.” Feast your ears.

Maybe few with more demanding needs will consider the 4gb RAM/64gb EMMC Surface Go, but I’m certainly considering the 8gb/128 SSD model for Lightroom and Photoshop. I currently have the original Surface Pro which handles Office and LR/PS just fine, and it’s on par, horsepower-wise, with the Go, which means it’s far…

And yet those were easily the best episodes of the season. I’m not disagreeing with you - they add little to the overall story - but pointing out that this is a major problem with this series. Those episodes slowed down quite a bit to actually tell a story and they were far superior for it. Then they were basically…

I haven’t read the book but I feel like maybe he’s suggesting that rock’s truly excessive bombast (double albums, concept albums, etc.) is represented in a final form by The Fragile. Think about it: there haven’t been many notable, chart-topping double/concept albums since then. So, in that sense, it kind of defines…

Mule Variations is the best introduction to Tom Waits, IMO.

I can’t believe no one has called out Kevin’s call-back throat punch that saves the day. That was hands-down the funniest moment I have seen on TV this year. I had a feeling it was coming but it was perfectly, sublimely handled.

I don’t think we know that the robot isn’t a human-created thing from the trailer. I mean, it speaks English. We don’t see Parker Posey’s Dr. Smith until later in the trailer where she’s asked who she is and responds “It’s complicated.” I’m wondering if she isn’t another stranded human that the Robinson family isn’t…

Doubtful. My parents live near a pretty new Raising Cane’s and a PDQ was just built about 300 feet away. Can’t imagine that would make sense to even the densest exec.

Fixed that for you.

Well, shit, I stand corrected. It really was pieced together. I’m actually kind of fascinated by this, since it’s all live footage but cobbled together from whatever run of notes and sounds from a particular instrument on a particular night sounded best. That’s a LOT of work for something a lot of people view as a…

It think it’s “assembled” only in that it consists of recordings from different nights, not that it had lots of stuff that was faked live in the studio like Kiss’ Alive.

We’re remembering the Soup as it ended, not as it began. By the time they’d ended, the show had a heavy ratio of repeated in-jokes to actual content (and I’m not complaining, mind you.) That’s what made The Soup what it was, and it’s just too early for that kind of in-jokey familiarity yet. It’s going to take a bit of…

Well, it’s official. I’m old. I hardly even recognize most of the artists listed.

Whataburger is here in AZ as well and I’d happily take that over In ‘n Out anyday. But Five Guys’ burgers beat ‘em all.
