alien: earth is fantastic for us sci fi nerds
Way into it.
"Stinkfist" in the second one, which lead me to admit to my wife that I really love Tool, and I think she was maybe disgusted.
One of the more jarring, but giggle-with-joy inducing needle drops I can remember.
I'm liking the show. As usual, the synths and cyborgs are way more interesting than the humans. Loving what Timothy Olyphant is doing, and Babou Ceesay, who plays a singularly-driven character whose motives are more clearly-explained than I would have expected after only three episodes, is a real discovery for me.
Here's a bit of his wiki:
Ceesay was born in London, England, and grew up in West Africa. He is a dual-national and is of Gambian descent. He trained at the Oxford School of Drama. He has also been involved in many significant projects on stage, including The Overwhelming opposite Andrew Garfield and A Midsummer Night's Dream. He studied Microbiology at Imperial College London, and also worked as an internal auditor at accounting firm, Deloitte.

I watched this when it came out, Skeleton Crew is up there with Andor as one of the few watchable Star Wars shows. It's definitely got a Goonies vibe, but uses it well. Jude Law kills it! Nick Frost does an awesome pirate robot.

Nouvelle Vague, coming to Netflix on November 14, 2025 in the U.S. This looks like it'll be worth a watch.

I have not seen Pavements yet.
Many critiques of Pavement miss the facts that they have a beating heart and that it's pretty obvious a lot of the time.
Stop Breathin, Silence Kid, Gold Soundz, From Now On, all of Watery. Like half of Slanted.
Grounded for fuck's sake the best thing they ever did probably.
Father to a Sister of a Thought.
Type Slowly.
Not that there aren't elements of archness and ambivalence, mostly about revealing oneself through one's art and the value of that art in the first place.
Sure there are.
But just because that bit is the easiest part to grasp (and discuss) doesn't mean that's the part that matters the most. It's the least interesting thing about the band.
It's like how critics focus on lyrics--that's because writers understand words.
They might know the
feeling they get when someone communicates to them through sound.
I mean I would hope that feeling is why they're a critic.
But it's so hard to put that feeling
into words that, almost inevitably, they focus on what they know--the available text.
Which is never the most important part of it, not by a long shot.
Saw this movie.
I liked it! haha!
It was a lot warmer than I expected, and funnier.
I'm not sure I liked it better than a straight movie about the band, but I'm not sure it is possible to make a movie like that.
the fake biopic stuff was pretty funny. maybe more so b/c i know those folks.
the musical theater stuff musically was hilarious maybe in a way they didn't intend, but it also sort of ameliorated everything I said above.
in that it was zero percent arch or ambivalent.
It was funny and kind of weirdly touching to see someone take such an straightforwardly emotional approach to their stuff, though I didn't think it worked b/c i basically hate musicals.
anyway, exceeded expectations.

The Lowdown
Created by Sterlin Harjo, the guy behind Reservation Dogs. Comedic/dramatic noir set in Tulsa lead by Ethan Hawke as the nosey journalist who just keeps getting his ass kicked. I'm pretty psyched on this one.
