Re: movies

Broadcast News is one of my favorite movies. Albert Brooks' sweating scene is painful as hell to watch (but in a good way). It's how I imagine I look every time I have to speak publicly even though people assure me I'm decent at it. I'm pretty classic in being intense anxiety beforehand, but once I...

Re: movies

I want to like Dune, but I've tried to read the book and tried to watch the first movie, but wound up tuning out after a while on both of them. I'm not sure what I'm missing because it seems like something I should be into. The more I thought about it the only thing I could come up with was that I ...

More entirely unsurprising news: He can't get someone to underwrite the huge bond. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trump-is-unable-to-make-us-464-million-bond-in-civil-fraud-case-his-lawyers-tell-court-1.6811827 This is from a private board, but it's worth sharing in full, imho because it's a beautifu...

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?

Postmodern critics argue that's evidence of our cultural stagnation, that all we have left is empty, repackaged nostalgia. How it's perceived is different, tho. For young people, it'll be new and can be spun as distinct. For old people, it's, at best, comfort food. Yeah definitely not arguing again...

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?

How so? That is, yes, of course we'll be marketed to our entire lives, but after 30 it's not stuff that is considered "cool" or trendy. Thinking specifically here about how a lot of pop culture is either rehashed or reinterpreted stuff from our childhood, which coincidentally tends to dovetail with...

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?

But funnily enough, as they approach 40 they start getting marketed to again. How so? That is, yes, of course we'll be marketed to our entire lives, but after 30 it's not stuff that is considered "cool" or trendy.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?

Perhaps people our age, but that's always been the thing. Or just that people our age stop listening to new music, I should clarify. Whether they listen to the same old stuff from when they were 19 or pivot to podcasts, they don't typically listen to new music. I like to ruin students' day by telli...

Horrible It's really baffling what succeeds and what flops given that there doesn't seem a lot of daylight between the two. I guess you can appreciate why so much garbage gets greenlit—it might work!

Re: Today I learned …

… Perfect Strangers lasted 8 fucking seasons (86–93). I would have sworn that it last no more than 3 seasons. Yet for something that lasted that long, I don't think I've ever stumbled upon it in syndication, which is odd for something that must have had around 200 episodes. Horrible It's really baf...

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?

I dunno about the first point but the second one may have some merit and its depressing as fuck. People just don't listen to music anymore. They listen to podcasts instead. Podcasts instead, music is dead. Perhaps people our age, but that's always been the thing. Or just that people our age stop li...
