The sound on Crimes of the Century remains astonishing - it's just a benchmark for clarity and dynamics.

Both are worthy of the high rating. The Host is an early creation of Bong Joon-ho (Snowpiercer, Parasite). Winter's Bone got J-Law her first Academy Award nom.
I used to have the American disdain for soccer/football but after watching Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham, I kinda get it now. I at least get the passion for it. Compared to North American football...

At least we don't see her applying it to her taint
I was in line at a liquor store when Sideways was in theaters. The cashier said something about selling a lot of merlot because of that movie. And a woman in line said she took her 70-something...
That classic patter banter of some old films drives me nuts. Feels like I'm watching a community theater production.
"Beneath the Masts" is the point where I thought, yep this is a BBT album
The biggest issue for me with Imaginos is Albert's vocals. They are the very definition of "an acquired taste".
I think the pandemic kinds screwed up the previous season but they do seem to be back in their groove again. Amazing how the two kids grew up in the space of a few seasons.
Yeah, it was so artsy and stylized in places that I eventually gave up on it.
I remember seeing "Garp Lives!" graffiti back in the day. That was one powerful book. I was just contemplating re-reading New Hampshire.
1997 my wife and I went to a Cactus League game with my dad and my uncle. We sat in the AZ sun, drank beer, watched the players goofing off and signing baseballs, the whole experience. Both the old...
Lena Headey, YMMV
HBO announced that season two will begin in June, but no exact date specified. Oil up your dragon saddles.
RE: Presence
Tea for One had an entire thread on the Hoffman Forum a few years ago, with some arguing it was a far more masterful piece that was acknowledged back in the day. When Presence was...
Some great photos from a NJ show in this thread

Anyone had any success predicting weather with arthritis? My ankle is bugging me this weekend and y'know, we got a two-day winter system moving through. Coincidence?

I read a caustic interview with the three members of the Police several years ago and yeah, Sting is truly a dick of special magnificence. Certainly more dickish than even Burton Cummings though not...
Oh, there's troll I never want to see again.
In geezer fitness news, I have found a cold/hot therapy that works on the tendinitis on my foot. Baby steps on the treadmill this week and so far,...
THOSE DIRTY BASTARDS!
Satellite (aka Sirius XM) radio has become quite ubiquitous in vehicles in the US. And of course, Sirius XM's main stations are getting more and more stuck on well-known hits. They even banished the...
Is was too old for Little Darlings when it came out. Now, if a movie with Susan Dey had come out while I was in high school, I would have RACED to the theater.
My wishlist overflows with options!
Don't forget all the opening musical numbers...with puppets!
If you are in the mood for fondling, just get the Citizen Steely Dan Box and the Cheap Xmas box off Discogs. A couple years ago, Cheap Xmas was easy to find but now the prices are insane. It's the...
It is my understanding that it happens in both movies and commercials. I opted to pay the extra three bucks a month, because I dropped a couple other subscriptions.
Deadloch - watch it with subtitles, the Aussie accents are tough but damn, it's funny as all hell (and a bit gruesome). I have seen good notices on the other one, I should put it on my list.
We watched the finale of True Detective. I am quite satisfied. No, not every question was answered and I think some ambiguity is fine. We get resolution on the main stuff and, as someone who lives...
I need to make a short compilation of all the "gentleman loser" songs in the Dan catalog. That theme is endlessly fascinating, running from "Midnite Cruiser" to "Deacon Blues"
This popped up in my YT feed. I had forgotten all about these guys.

Last night we watched A Haunting in Venice, the latest in Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot films. It wasn't perfect, the finale where Poirot rips apart alibis and solves the crimes goes too fast,...
Anyone watching Death and Other Details on Hulu? It's not the greatest mystery series ever but it's entertaining. A murder happens upon a small luxury cruise ship that has been hired out for by a...
I think it's cool that this thread has grown and thrived far beyond what Skullhead intended.
The other day I played Falling Into Infinity and experienced some enjoyment in hearing actual songs rather than wanking. I wondered what else I could play that had a high level of complexity, rocked...

I've gone into McDonald's a couple times and that kiosk situation is a mess. A couple times I have placed an order and picked the option to pay at the counter. Guess what? Both times I was handed my...
I just did a search to see if there were further Bandcamp Friday dates for 2024 but nothing has been posted yet. My wishlist continues to grow...
I am on the third day of a Prednisone regimen to relieve tendinitis inflammation in my right foot and hopefully to temper some of the inflamed aches in a few other areas. So far, results are minimal,...
Decades ago, I saw a special on the liberation of the camps near the end of the war. I don't remember if it was the Brits or Americans at one of the camps, but they hit it before all the evidence was...
Malazan had enormous problems: the timeline gets all messed up, you get thrown in media res and nothing gets explained for a couple books, you can tell it's based on a game the two collaborators...
We are just beginning Season 1. It might take us awhile to get there.
RE: True Detective. There's a lot of call backs to the first episode. This breaks it down:...

Two days until pitchers and catchers report for my boys
About a decade ago I shattered my ankle and ended up getting surgery near midnight. In the morning my bladder was ready to burst. The damn nurses wanted me to piss in a bedpan but I wasn't in shape...
That was one helluva game. Both teams left it all on the field, those guys were on just running on fumes in OT and they still dug deep.
An incredible series. Be sure to watch to the VERY END!
I have a ridiculous TBR pile, both actual and digital. I love/hate it when I glance at the bookshelves and realize there's yet another that I bought and forgot about. I need to do some cataloging. My...
Still the original lineup, that's got my immediate attention. Of course, the real mother lode would have been tracks not released in the black & white period but that won't stop me. Auto-buy.
Also, she's got legs that go on for days. No one ever said that about James LaBrie.

OK, there's some confusion here. I was referring to the Hulu/FX series Reservation Dogs. I guess my eyes saw what they wanted to see in Steve's post. I don't know if there ever was a series based on...
It's on my list. We have yet to watch it but I've heard/read nothing but raves. Apparently the series finale really sticks the landing.
And damn, the music programming for True Detective is pretty cool. I never paid attention to Billie Eilish but the tune for the show's opening credits is just haunting as hell.
We just watched the last two episodes of True Detective. Wow. I am very impressed but if they don't resolve this in a satisfactory manner in the two final episodes, I will be quite cross. It can go...
So, I'm looking to buy a new bottle in the next month or so, depending on when I can get to a liquor store with a decent selection. I'm almost done with my Balvenie 15. Suggestions for something...
We watched Oppenheimer last night. Apparently this is actually fairly accurate, which is rare for Hollywood biopics. Anyway, I loved it.
I still love this album, warts and all. The boys blew it on the sound, but in every other aspect this was a spectacular final work.
My wife and I really liked Somebody Somewhere. It's a rather low stakes show though there's some heavy emotional threads weaving through it. But on the whole, it's small. I think that's the point....
