I saw David Byrne last year on his solo tour and he was outstanding. And he did plenty of Talking Heads songs. And his band was fantastic. Right in the pocket. Beautiful. Would it have been ANY different with the old band members? I mean, I doubt it. I don’t think I would’ve known the difference. What I’m saying is,…

This was my nitpick as well. There is some random, underground-dwelling species on this random, remote planet and ... they’re humanoids? Why?

love it

(and to confirm, I took all of the tests you linked to and tested positive for tritanopia on all three ... they work!  for me!)

nice!

From the website linked above: (re. the Ishihara tests) “Based on what you can see and what not, it is possible to check if you are suffering from some form of red-green color blindness.”

This is good stuff.  One quick note/correction: the Ishihara tests, for the most part, are only useful in identifying red/green color deficiencies.  If you have a (much more rare) blue deficiency (also known as blue/yellow), these tests won’t necessarily identify that issue.  I have blue/yellow color deficiency, and I…

This is me in the future agreeing with you.  Just watched it this weekend and LOVED it ... except for the unnecessary epilogue.

Now THAT is good Kinja

I initially read the conclusion to your post as “spooning ham” and I was fine with it

This is an amazing fucking piece.  Thanks Michael

Hahaha!  This comment made my day.  I love it.

Terminator 2

Point Break and T2 were 1991! 

This was my takeaway as well.  Befuddled.  It just ... isn’t funny.  It’s “edgy” for the sake of being edgy, I guess, but man it just wasn’t fun.  I was really looking forward to seeing it and I’m super disappointed.

I finally got around to watching this and, seriously, what the fuck?  This movie is entirely bereft of laughs.  It’s just not funny.  I think I might have chuckled once or twice.  To compare this to Superbad is just ... no.

It’s a tough one, right? Can we hate the artist but love the art? I was absolutely blown away by the album ... quite possibly the best album they’ve ever made in terms of front-to-back consistency. But, yeah, Jesse Lacey is evidently a garbage person and pedophile, and that’s despicable.

We could probably be besties. I agree with everything you’re saying here. Also, “Lonerism” but not “Currents”?! Here’s a few I would add:

Plus the lead singer screams like a mother fucking banshee. It’s like, “here’s some really accessible shoegaze stuff and some other things you might like, but I’m going to go ahead and screech my fool head off on top of all that so we can call this ‘eclectic.’”
