She wrote the lyrics and performed the vocals on a song produced by Big Red Machine. it’s... still a feature by Taylor Swift on a Big Red Machine, that’s literally just the artist designation. It will be on Big Red Machine’s album in a little over a month, not a Taylor Swift album. Or are you saying that every song…

it would be a much better album if it was 10 songs max, and made by one producer instead of like five or six. there's still stuff to enjoy on that album, but it's a clear case of too many cooks in the kitchen 

Watchmen went seriously downhill after This Extraordinary Being imo. then again, that's one of the best episodes of television I've ever seen, so living up to it was always gonna be a tall order

yup, and "Renegade" is not a new Taylor Swift song. it's a song by Big Red Machine (Justin Vernon & Aaron Dessner) that features Taylor Swift. these aren't super difficult facts to verify before publishing an article!

the Assembly cut of 3 is really, really good. it’s the closest the franchise ever came to recapturing the bleak grittiness of the original

Australia gave y’all Cate Blanchett and Toni Collette so hold up there buddy...

very observant, Schimkowitz. the sacred and the propane

after her performance in Palm Springs I’m pretty confident she should be getting work like, everywhere. she is fucking brilliant in that movie

I have never been more ashamed to be from this country than when Barnaby fucking Joyce was appointed to a taskforce for women’s rights. what a fucking joke

I had the same thought. plus Backstory! had some really strong HACF vibes, too, even if they weren't working on a game. the period-piece character-driven writing had echoes 

RENEW THIS GODDAMN SHOW

sharing the fact that he has cancer with the world is very, very different from sharing the gritty details of his cancer with the world. all I’m saying is don’t confuse one of those things with the other, or feel like you are owed the latter because he chose to do the former.

the fact that even Charlotte doesn’t know for sure if there’s a season three a few days out from the s2 finale has me very worried. if this show doesn’t get a renewal, it might actually be the biggest injustice since Netflix canned American Vandal

the way to feel is sympathetic/willing to offer condolences because a man has cancer, and accepting of his privacy/that he may not be ready to share intensely personal details of his diagnosis with the whole fucking world just yet. it’s pretty simple.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought they totally whiffed that big “one-take” action scene at the end, lol. If your big choreography sequence requires both leads to stop dead in the middle of the street for like half a minute, for no discernible reason, while a literal apocalypse is happening around them you…

Flower Boy was one of the best hip-hop albums of the decade

I know I’m off-topic here but I really hope there’s an Emmy This writeup for Mythic Quest (or y’know, weekly reviews would have been even better, but that’s none of my business). The second season has been absolutely incredible and every week they just seem to leap over the bar they set the previous. But the…

the premise of this film just reminds me a lot of the wonderful indie horror Berberian Sound Studio with Toby Jones. I’m sure the specifics and subtexts of the films are totally different, but everytime I see this movie pop up I can’t help thinking of BSS

I have eternal respect for the guy for doing shit like this (and also hey, he’s a pretty good actor, not that the HP movies really show it!) My favourite performance of his is still him taking the absolute piss out of his own image on one of the best episodes of Bojack Horseman

I still the obvious choice for directing this is Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead (they already made a film called The Endless! come on!) but since Marvel snatched them for Moon Knight, I sure hope Netflix has found someone who can handle surreal horror, weird dark comedy and extremely British character arcs about…
