I’m one of the rare defenders of Enterprise mostly because I just really like Bakula in the role of a gruffer, more inherently American early Captain, so while I hate all these prequels and midquels and stuff they keep pumping out, I would probably watch if Bakula reprised the role.
This whole album is really great, I was blown away they are still putting out such quality in this day and age, made me go back and listen to the prior couple albums I had missed which were nearly as good.
What a good boy! What a muncher!
I cannot express how terrible a choice Sorkin is for this project, his work as a director is mostly mediocre at best. Dude somewhat managed to sanitize any real leftism from his movie about the Chicago 7 and now wants to give a definitive recounting of the way they are driving the world into the ground? His script for the originally mostly only worked because he had such a great director guiding it.
I had exactly the same thought, please for the love of God do not recruit Lamb to run against Fetterman. I never really trusted Fetterman or any “cult of personality” type politician, but the only reason I wanted him to become a Senator was to keep Lamb from reviving the Blue Dog wing of the Senate.
Defiance, Ohio has been on regular rotation for me since last fall for reasons that probably don’t need to be explained if you’ve ever listened to them.
“Queen” has historically often been used as a slur against specifically gay men in American culture, the OP’s context is an example of that.
Yeah, as an American (the South, even) I can tell you that somebody angrily calling a gay couple queens if she is not herself part of the LGBTQIA+ community would not generally be something accepted here. It is a term many queer people embrace for themselves, but is still often used as a slur by an aging populace and not something a straight cis person should say.
As a Virginian, I absolutely feel the pain of New Jersey Democrats. The way the party always shits its pants with awful centrists the second they lose a national election…
Zachary Levi has to be one of the absolute least likable celebrities out there. From his vocal anti-vax views to his weird Christian libertarianism to his support of RFK Jr, every time he lets more about himself and his views be known the less I ever want to see him in another project again let alone hear another interview.
This is a classic, love Mark Hollis so much but particularly partial to the jazzy, experimental fragile proto-post-rock soundscapes that came on the Talk Talk or solo albums that followed.
Always thought it was ironic that a guy who wrote a song called “Airplanes” would become a Flat Earther
This album meant so much to me when it came down and I still have most of the lyrics to most of the songs memorized to day, but quite frankly I am not at all a “separate the art from the artist” person, I believe the artist fundamentally imprints themselves in all of their art and however minor I’m never going to do something to financially support somebody with Kanye’s views and statements, so I just simply do not listen to any Kanye anymore and if I did it would be via torrent.
This post made me look at just how many different Russ Meyer films are on IA and obviously I gotta watch all of them now, one the true kings of camp filmmaking.
Yeah this book immediately went on my Wishlist after I read this article, incredibly interesting stuff
Easily one of the absolute best songs of the early college rock era of indie/alternative rock.
I wish more people realized just how awesome Rilo Kiley were, I revisit their sadly sparse discography all the frickin time and it is always rewarding even if Jenny would only grow and mature as a songwriter from there.
This is a hard question for somebody like me, obsessed with slashers, to answer but ultimately I think I have to give the nod to Halloween for being the best directed slasher I believe I’ve ever seen with the best atmosphere and mood to separate itself from the more schlocky imitators.
For years when my political friend group would talk about Cuomo running for President (before the allegations) I would always say it’d end in disaster for this reason: New York voters ignored over a decade of constant scandals and Cuomo being one degree away from massive corruption investigations and just slipping by, but national voters wouldn’t. Now we’ll see if I was wrong about New York voters while in the national spotlight.
