Eno was central to the Berlin era! He worked on Low and his influence on Bowie is apparent on all of those albums. From wiki:

Here Come the Warm Jets is one of the most perfect rock albums of all time.

And let’s not forget the media circus surrounding the start of their relationship, painting Angelina as some kind of evil man-stealing succubus, and how eager that same media is now to pick up where they left off. The tabloids have been waiting 10+ years for the chance to tell this part. I remind myself of this every…

Firstly, the 2 party consent rules in Illinois mean that private conversations can’t be recorded. I believe it also only applies to electronic communications or when stealth devices are being used (she was obviously recording this in the open) but those conditions don’t even matter because this was not a private…

Am I the only one thinking her concern about representation and getting this story out there would come off a little more genuine if she kept her dollars in the project by staying on as producer while leaving the lead role for a new (trans) talent? She’d be perfect as his wife and that way she could still lend her…

You’re asking why a movie that wasn’t ever available for more than a handful of people to see, didn’t get seen by many people? A movie that screens in thousands of theaters and doesn’t make any money is a failure. A movie that is never exposed to a broad audience can’t get a broad audience. That’s kind of my point. If…

The Rainmaker was a John Grisham adaptation directed by Francis Ford Coppolla with a budget of 40 million in 1998. That has to be close to the level of prestige this project carries. Not to mention that none of this even takes into account the countless stars who were “nobodies” until they were cast as leads in movies…

It only ever had a limited release. At its highest point, it was only ever in 44 theaters. For most of its run, it only screened in 4-15 theaters.

I was intrigued when I saw “dark comedy about the absurdity of court life,” excited when I saw Olivia Colman, and FUCKING PSYCHED when I saw Yorgos Lanthimos’ name on it! I’ll be there opening day.

See, now this take is just plain lazy, since it requires about .5 seconds of reading to discover the response to this very often repeated fallacy. Stars don’t get made until someone puts them in a starring role, so there will never be a “star” trans actor until someone gives them a goddamn starring role- and what…

In the last week, it’s really felt like the SCOTUS is a television show trying to bring all the plot points together as quickly as possible for the super high drama finale. Can’t wait to see what’s next! JUST KIDDING SCOTUS please don’t do anything else

I’m not sure if you’re genuinely trying to be helpful or just showing off how well-informed you are, but without links or descriptions, this is utterly meaningless. I figured I’d get a jump on the inevitable “google it” response, but google is telling me v-02 could be “a standard SAP parameter transaction code,” “the…

I hope every member of this administration hears “I’m sorry Sir/Madam, but you appear to be over-served. Perhaps I can get you a glass of water and some bread?” every time they attempt to order an alcoholic beverage, from now until the end of their days.

You mean this family?

I just assumed it was an employee. They’d have the niche interest, the know-how, and if it’s anything like any place I’ve ever worked, probably a healthy dose of “Goddamnit I deserve this thing.” Particularly given that the museum director himself is quoted saying “We can buy a new meteorite on eBay and have it in by…

Right? I just can’t get behind the zombie thing. Vampire/werewolves etc are a great platform for exploring the nasty/fun side of humanity, but zombies are just a non-entity. They can’t talk, think, fuck, or do anything besides slobber and grunt, really. So zombie stories just end up being “humans vs the great evil…

Damn, no need to take it so personally! You actually didn’t explicitly state that there was no love story- just that the primary theme was animal abuse. I did read that, but since the article we’re both responding to made the claim that the play involved a love story, I took that at face value, and nothing you said…

I haven’t read the play, but just based on this excerpt I can easily draw a parallel. So she’s mute in the movie and introverted in the play- but either way the theme I’m seeing here is “woman who keeps to herself, doesn’t ruffle any feathers, finally decides to make a bold move after falling in love (with a…

I came here to say essentially the same thing. It’s an important distinction to make because A) I think we’re well overdue to put pressure on Hollywood to address its lack of diversity as an across-the-board kind of issue, not only when adapting characters that are specifically mentioned as being non-white, and B) it…
