I more meant playing hardball about walking. I feel like he’d get by just fine without the show.
I don't pretend to know Seth Meyers' finances or the internal politics of running a show, but I feel like if I was the host of a show like that...
Tous les garcons et les filles is a perfect summer album. RIP.
If you can let go of all the cultural baggage and projection and copycatting around The Big Chill, it's really goddamn good.
He was so good when I saw him a few weeks ago.
The Moon - Without Earth (1968) Really goregeous lightly psychedelic, well-orchestrated/arranged piano-based pop. A serious hidden gem. Was...
Angels with Dirty Faces is one of my all-time favorites and one of the movies that really made me fall in love with classic film. Yankee Doodle...
If Cagney didn’t have so many crowning achievements, I’d say this one was his crowning achievement. Both the charisma and the danger of his...
The Doors were once rated too highly as an elite all-time rock band. They're not. Then everyone pushed back too hard and said they suck. They...
Yeah I think I agree with all of this, though I’ll add that not getting a grasp on history is, to some degree, a choice being made rather than an...
I'll give them credit that Wild Is the Wind is in her elite tier. Not ahead of the two you mentioned for me, but at least a good pick. But...
When the hell did I Put a Spell on You become the default token Nina album and is there still time to fix it?
This in the blurb for Hejira should get them sued for fucking libel: "Mitchell’s guitar-playing that had previously comprised of little more than...
The Life of Pablo is very good. He has at least 3 that are definitively better though.
Yep. Which is sort of the flipside of the coin to being able to ignore problems with the artists you are a big fan of. If they're morally bad,...
Late on the adaptation conversation, but The Maltese Falcon is a perfect one.
Ishtar and Heaven's Gate both seem like the period-specific product of a narrow media landscape, but also an obsession with box office gossip that...
Ishtar is not as bad as its legend until recently claimed. It's also not the lost masterpiece people are trying to spin it as now.
Detective Pikachu and The Adam Project are perfectly fine, moderately-enjoyable movies.
Mary Poppins is one of my favorite movies of all time, but their work on Bedknobs and Broomsticks is just as good. "The Age of Not Believing"...
Check the original from 1962 at some point. Much better than Marty's, which he'd probably agree on.
Gonna have a lot of time at my desk grading the next two weeks and I'm bound and determined to catch up on these. I love threads like this, time's...
Someone else should get my slot. I haven't been able to keep up lately. I'll catch up when the school year is over next week and then I'll take...
The Brothers Grimm is godawful, but Stormare is just incredible.
I can name 11 of those immediately. One or two others might be people I know but it's hard to tell in the picture.
