This is exactly what it feels like to listen to 'Good Luck Babe'.
And I'm not opposed to the country aspect but 'The Giver' is a massive disappointment. The lyrics are fun but the song itself is totally devoid of personality.

But watching them refer to Titanic as a 'classic movie' makes me feel a billion years old- so it's a double edged sword.

That same account has a great video on the Les Miserables movie and what went wrong there (aside from Russell Crowe). I love Les Mis and while the movie was visually great, I always felt something was off but didn't have the musical background to put it together.

This video essay explains why CATS (2019) was so musically terrible (off-putting CGI aside)- and also explained why people like CATS the musical in the first place.

How fucking baller is it that Brian Epstein, a gay man, called these hillbilly "christians" out for being more angry about a months old newspaper interview then the virulent racism and discrimination perpetrated by their community in 1966. #beatles #thebeatles #paulmccartney #johnlennon

In period TV/movies the B-17s people fly always have such cool nicknames. But if you actually look their crews called them things like 'Turd Bird', 'Fart Sack', and 'Flying Latrine'.

Watch Time Bomb Y2K on Max. It's super nostalgic and weirdly uplifting and hopeful.
Like, we faced a potentially catastrophic collapse of (then) modern society but we just put in work, listened to experts, and solved the problem before it occured. And now it's barely remembered.

Forgive me for my 'old man yells at cloud' moment, but people will never understand what playing GTA3 was like in 2001 if you missed it.
When GTA V's first trailer came out I'd just started dating someone. Tonight she watched the GTA VI trailer with me while holding our daughter. Hyped.

GTA 6 is (for the second time) officially on the way. This time with a trailer in December. I'm so glad I didn't look at (most) of the leaks. Christmas come early!

I never thought 'Now and Then' was a very strong demo, but it's pretty hard not to be excited about the last truly new Beatles song we'll ever get.
