Big movie and auto racing nerd, love to read (especially genre books like horror and sci-fi), sometimes write poetry.

I’m of real mixed emotions here. I totally understand why latino/a folks want this film to succeed, there has never really been a film to this scale to feature as predominantly a latin-american cast as this one, and that’s certainly a big moment. I have a latino friend who is going purely for how big a moment it is for representation of his culture and I get it.
However, so much of the complaints about how iffy the film’s likely performance I’ve seen really border damn close to just complaining about the strike “ruining” things for people (like we didn’t all know this film had ‘potential bust’ written all over it for a long time now) and studios’ plans. And frankly, while I certainly hope for more latin-american representation all across film, I also think that trying to save Warner Bros Discovery from their own disasterous decision is counterproductive to wishes of future good quality and original programming
Yeah, nothing about his “clarifications” really do anything other than making him look even more a dim light struggling to form an opinion.
As killer a track as ever
Not the first nor last time Nico Rosberg is guilty of being a total ass.
I really tried on the Ms. Marvel series but it was not for me and I knew it by the second episode, and Captain Marvel was one of the most formulaic, underbaked films of that Phase. Maybe it is just because Guardians being done means whatever strong investments I once had in the MCU are fading away because it’s all just too much of the same, but really nothing that screams out to me that this will be enjoyable though I will ultimately see it (a couple friends and I see every MCU movie despite most of us being super burnt out)
Love this song as a diehard fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, listen to it all the time.
Logan deserves more of a shot than half a season, given that they knowingly moved him up to F1 when there was no way he was ready after just one (pretty good) season in F2 and some limited testing opportunities. Has he super impressed? No, but anybody who thought he would by this point is foolish, much more experienced drivers have taken longer.
Like sure, Mick would probably be a more competitive driver in the short term, but you’d be basically setting aflame what could be your lynchpin in the future.
Not gonna lie, the cookie part of chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips is the dream I’ve been chasing my whole life.
Really solid, thanks for sharing!
Really enjoyed this, definitely gonna check out more, thanks for sharing.
I’ve been waiting for one to pop up on here, will gladly join if you do put one together.
Watched because this band was randomly in my recommendations the other day and it felt like fate to pop up in another place days later, I am not upset that I did, some serious protopunk/early punk vibes I’m super into. Will listen to more, thanks for the post!
Absolutely adore Breakfast in America it is a pity various disputes have kept a lot of the album from being available on various streamers, so I rely quite heavily on the cassette copy I picked up on a whim.
Was coming here to mention Gore. It really isn’t very often you see a politician of any stripe show a genuine sense of humor about themselves, and willingness to just get a little silly.
I’m still in season 3, but absolutely loving it, in my watch of Babylon 5 but it is exciting to know once I finish the series not only are there movies to follow but they are still making entries to this day.
For whatever reason, I just never really listened to Swervedriver or if I did it just didn’t light up my radar, but I really enjoyed this song, might do a deeper dig in the future.
There has never been a time in my life in which I have turned down the chance to watch David Byrne do weird little dances.
I’m a huge fan of the like microbudget (like 50k) psychological sci-fi film Coherence. They make the most out of their cast who semi-improvise much of the dialog and go the lo-fi approach to wonderful effect. It is easily found on several different streaming services, and is truly an underseen gem.
It used to bother me a lot more when I was younger, but honestly the older I’ve gotten the more I just look at myself and how much I’ve changed from top to bottom including in a lot of cases things like my tastes in music, and I realize that you can’t just expect somebody to stay stationary in life. We’re all moving, we’re all changing, and you can’t expect a musician to only want to do the one thing for their entire career.
So ultimately, yeah it can bum me out when a band changes their sound in a way that I don’t enjoy, but I’m just thankful that for the moments it did we had a special connection and leave open the door that maybe down the road I will appreciate the new stuff more than I initially did.
