No Thanks

Or, more specifically NO X 4. Four films to hit in 2028.

Peter Jackson says there’s eight hours of White Album material. Give me that – in grainy, poorly edited format – all day long over imitation crabmeat biopics.

Updated list of “Based on a True Story” productions I’ve managed to avoid:

– Elvis
– Dylan
– Jimi
– Brian Wilson
– Ray Charles
– Hank Williams
– Loretta Lynn
– Queen
– Elton John
– Weird Al
– Johnny Cash
– Bob Marley

I watched The Doors but regret it.

I confess to liking The Buddy Holly Story and La Bamba. And Backbeat.

They’ve got Barry Keoghan – whom I love – portraying Ringo.
Still not going.

Shit

My parents wouldn’t let me stay up to watch Starsky & Hutch, but I still get a thrill when I see an old Gran Torino.

Just Another Loathsome Thursday


For the most accurate description of this foul, embarrassing, overly emotive piece of 70’s “sensitive singer/songwriter” manure, I defer to Dave Barry:

…”Sometimes When We Touch,” sung by Dan Hill, who sounds like he’s having his prostate examined by Captain Hook.

Hard Pass

Confession… I’m a bit of a horror movie nerd, and I actually like some of what Rob Zombie has put out there. This… this looks awful. I can’t believe that people gave him the go ahead to drop $30 million to produce this. Go ahead and watch this trailer, and let me know if you think this guy ever makes another “film.”

 

I’m Not Your Crypto Tool You Tool

Hopefully no one here watches the sportsballs, as recently you would have seen this ad ad nauseum.

Periodically I enjoy trying to make sense of speculative digital currency, most of it not even underpinned by scarcity. It makes my brain hurt.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFT – sounds like electronica I’m too old to fathom.

And apparently it’s terrible for the environment: a single Bitcoin transaction consumes the same amount of power that an average American home uses in a month.

Twitter, please roast this clown:

I can just not stop laughing that Matt Damon’s pitch for crypto is “Be like a brave explorer, invest your life savings in crypto.”

This commercial where Matt Damon compares buying $5 in ElonAssCoin to the Wright Brothers inventing flight or astronauts exploring space really hypes me up!

Know Your Memes

If you haven’t watched I Think You Should Leave you should. I had to rewatch this because hot dog guy is becoming a meme. And that’s what really matters these days.
