This will be a priceless document for future generations wondering what the covid pandemic was like.

Agreed, this is just blatant, unnecessary cynicism. They’re not Clapton and Van Morrison whining about having to wear a facemask in 7/11, this is a guy peforming a goofy, throwaway rock song with a hero of his.

Meh. I liked it. I’m also old enough to be one of Mick’s kids so that might explain it.

Oh, come on. This is nothing like the Imagine thing. They’re having fun with a throwaway song, not trying to do anything meaningful. Sure, it’s kind of dumb, but I enjoyed it. And unlike other late-70s rock stars, Mick Jagger still sounds like Mick Jagger.

FWIW, the conservatives are taking this personally, so this is less “Imagine 2.0" and more “we’re not snowflakes, but this is still triggering us for some reason.”

WELL IVE BEEN IN TRUCKING FOR OVER 500 years! I’m the uber boomer! These are called gnome doors we all know that. When Scandinavians started to make quilted refrigerated tractor trailers over 300 years ago, when trucking started of course, they created the doors so the little gnomes would feel safe inside away from…

Or Wiener Türlein as German truckers used to call it. 

I’ve worked in trucking for over 50 years. All these answers are wrong. They are called “hotdog doors”. Whenever we go to truck stops to do whatever it is we do there, we also buy lots of hotdogs. Sometimes hot, sometimes cold, it all depends on the altitude of your location. We would store said hotdogs in the…

YUP.

Not to mention, for all their doomsday prepping, silver hoarding, canned good buying in the years leading up to 2020, when an actual global calamity DID occur, they were the first ones to clutch the pearls and scream about how they need to get their haircut and watch sportsball in bars.

Some gun humpers seem to truly believe they’d be able to defend themselves against the government and/or rise up against it if need be. These people have a lot of misconceptions. 

This time around though I’m not too worried.  I’d LOVE to see those wackjobs try to fight off a predator drone with their civilian AR-15s.  

It’s a little old-fashioned at this point to say that these people are going to steer us into another civil war. Frankly, by the definition of modern asymmetrical warfare, we’re already there. The Capitol has to keep its fencing up because white terrorist soldiers keep trying to storm the gates and kill - and the…

One great thing about Prestige for me is that I get so wrapped up in the movie and I always remember the Hugh Jackman reveal, that I forget the Bale twist so it hits every time.

With movies like Dunkirk and Tenet obsessed over playing with time, Nolan has become a bit more style (or should I say structure) over substance as of late. But pre-TDK he was hitting his sweet spot. Why both Memento and The Prestige work better is that their structures (telling the story based on his memory/telling…

At the beginning of the movie, Christian Bale in voiceover literally says “We were two men.” But as he says it, the camera pans over Borden, then Angier. Absolutely phenomenal misdirection.

I recently re-watched The Prestige and was pretty much blown away after completely writing it off the first time. The first time, I was unfairly grumpy about Hugh Jackman’s “secret” violating the regular rules of realism, which to me seemed to violate the entire premise of a show based on the formula of a magic trick.…

Do you think that the “twins” discovery was THE twist? The film keeps twisting - in either direction and back within itself. It’s fun when we think we’ve got it all figured out though.

The Prestige flat out tells you the trick behind everything in the movie, sometimes repeatedly.

I call them Alfred and Freddie. You can see him shift from scene to scene, it’s an astounding performance.
