It's funny because I didn't get around to seeing that movie for decades because I was a fan of the comic and didn't think Connelly was a good Betty Page stand-in. Just ridiculous.
Paget Brewster's local San Francisco talk show.
It introduced me to Geena Davis, how could I forget.
I'm glad someone else remembers Do Over, that was a very weird occurrence.
Swell Maps?
I think if you're analogizing to baseball election performance is more similar to on-base percentage or slugging, an overall composite stat like WAR for politics should include performance in office. That's tangential to your point but it's just wrong-headed on its own terms.
"Brit" is no good because it could mean Britain or Brittany. We should call you "UKies" instead.
There's also a generational thing where I was constantly not just buying, but also selling, books, records, CDs, etc. If I can't sell it I don't own it and I'm much less inclined to pay for it, especially if piracy is an option.
Brits pronounce French better than most of us do but you're offensively bad with Spanish. Like it has to be on purpose because enough of you visit and retire there, and it's just very easy. Given how even the BBC pronounces "Nicaragua" this seems necessary, but she could just use an English name.
The Life Aquatic. Can't even say way but I was furious most of the way through and haven't seen another Wes Anderson since.
It's fun but it's just a warm-up for Thingyan.
Same year, the short version of House Party and Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads.
I saw a preview screening of Repo Man (1984) that showed after Spinal Tap.
I don't actually remember all those, I'm just saying "Beverly Hills" is their "Pride (In the Name of Love)".
I moved from Boston to SF when I was 20 and I think they're the top two prettiest, but SF has a huge lead. Even in the 80s they had an ad campaign in American Cinematographer with the slogan "pretty city/gritty city". I've read that Pancho Villa fell off which is very sad to me.
My skepticism has mostly been that you might accomplish more elsewhere and that's never been less true than now. I'm fully confident you're fighting the good fight both within and without.
Ugh, now I feel like a grade-grubber. Shout out to the heroes who made a guess without additional clues. You rule.
I had a 3/3 during the same minute, I trust your judgment about which was first though.
Strokes
Radiohead
Daft Punk/Missy
White Stripes
Wilco
Strokes/Daft Punk
I don't like Pinkerton but it does seem like it was their chance to be something more than a singles band whose singles are all the same. Like if U2 put out Achtung Baby early and then went back to doing "Gloria" over and over.
I guess I wonder how many Warren supporters really expected her to get any traction. I thought she was the best of several good candidates but living in NY I'm very wait and see about primaries. She always seemed like a long shot to me for obvious/depressing reasons.
I'd never heard of it, the IDM albums I might have nominated if anyone else had mentioned them were Tim Tetlow and Christian Kleine, but it didn't seem worth it. I think this year is really approaching the time where there's too much music for anybody to have a handle on all the niches.
Thought experiments are tools for examining those heuristics. If they don't work well for you that's fine but I wonder if you're also confused by the talking animals in Aesop's Fables.
So many hilarious usernames and all my favorite gifs.
I like that he made a choice that would outrage a big chunk of the people who would otherwise be the most excited about a Nolan Odyssey. It's a perfectly valid choice and also a "fuck-off" to the retvrn chuds.
Interesting. Either way it would have come from record collectors, I just think that phenomenon is neat, partly because songs like "Those Oldies But Goodies" worked so well on 70s oldies radio.
One difference is The Who didn't do as many covers as The Kinks and Stones on their earliest records, but this could be because they were a year later and were trying to keep up. As a kid the "Maximum R&B" slogan didn't make sense to me. Books talked about mods loving Motown but I didn't hear it.
I think "doo-wop" became a term during the revival of the early 60s. Which is weird in retrospect to realize they were reviving a style that had been popular 3 or 4 years earlier. Figuring out the songs the Beatles and Stones were covering were often contemporary was a similar a-ha moment for me.
It's odd since her half-brother/uncle famously graduated from there at 15. I would think Allen would already have a relationship with Botstein.
