100% agreed. Hereditary was laughable. Midsommar was better but only OK at best. I love horror and cannot understand what people love about his shit

I would love to read this essay

We’re watching the rebroadcast and I described it as “we have Interpol at home”

My wife is so intensely invested in all of this

I am so excited to watch this and hear the audience sing the word they made her cut out of the song

The only ones for me are probably Cabin Boy and Christopher Guest movies. I can rewatch silly shit endlessly. I never rewatch TV shows though

Totally! The season started so iffy but really improved and amped up til that end

I only ever saw him once but he had a full band that time. I think it’s mainly his thing but he’s definitely toured with a band before

I wish it had more tension in it. They’d been slowly losing that element of their writing since the first album though. So it’s not surprising. And it may grow on me!

Great read! That’s funny people compare them to Joy Division/New Order bc I’d argue with those folks that they’re essentially the same band continued. I don’t really like the new BCNR but kinda wish I did. I liked the live album. Ah well

The hardcore that makes hardcore kids mad is always the best

100%. Full album shows are so BORING. I can appreciate them when it’s a new record but the nostalgia album show feels like it sucks all the spontaneity out of live music

some colonialism in there too!
