Do you think the Japanese girls screaming like banshees on “Cheap Trick At Budokan” understand all the words to “Surrender”? It doesn’t matter!

It’s so fucking dumb how conservatives ask “how can we enjoy music if we DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY’RE SAYING?!” as if every popular English-speaking artist they know doesn’t routinely sell out all over the world

I don’t follow the NBA super closely anymore but it always makes me laugh when media and players say a team is a disaster and you look up their record and they’re like 38-20.

I was out on Fennell when I turned off PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN 45 minutes in (I almost did it even earlier after the David Foster Wallace joke), you kids have fun.

Reminded me a lot of late-period William Gibson.

THE SHROUDS: If this is his last film, it’s a more than worthy summation of Cronenberg’s career-long thesis; a chamber drama with thriller accents that accepts body horror as something very real because it comes for us all. Has strange, stiff rhythms but the pain behind it is palpable.

The scene in said movie where Kidman as Carlson scolds a liberal couple in the supermarket for being dismissive of Fox News should’ve booked a spot for Jay Roach in a Siberian prison.
Every so often I’m reminded that Extremely Woke and Gay Hollywood made a movie that sanewashed her and Gretchen Carlson by dint of their being women in the vicinity of Roger Ailes bsky.app/profile/mike...
Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

It’s in LA so I think any country artists would flat-out turn it down (especially Wallen). Do you go to the Boomer well and get Bon Jovi or someone?
I feel this in my bones but also I think next year’s SB artist will tell us a lot about how much pressure the WH can still bring to bear
Genuinely gives me a lot of hope that the NFL is a cynical, cash-motivated organization and they're betting on this being the future

I was going to share that Megyn Kelly clip but frankly it’s too fucking rancid to foist upon anyone. Pure Klan shit.

It’s so weird how lyrics and how “good” the singer is are the biggest barriers for most people! It’s music! You’re supposed to *feel* it before anything else
I promise you, not understanding the lyrics does not have to get in the way of enjoying music. Trust me, one of my favorite bands is Deafheaven.

What 2020s movie has the greatest cultural footprint?
Note: This is not necessarily about box office, Oscars, critical acclaim, though all of those can count. It's more... pieces of it have so completely permeated our cultural groundwater that it will always be there.

Lord willing in January 2029 we’re going to see a bevy of posts saying “you guys won’t believe it! My evil doppelgänger locked me in the basement for 4 years and said all sorts of heinous shit I OBVIOUSLY don’t believe in, but now I’m free and ready to get woke as hell!”

That and they do also have a ton of cap space, so they can bolster that O-line and get another WR if they wish

This isn’t wishful thinking but NE could be in for a rough regression next year. First place schedule is going to be brutal.
