  • Alright. Y’all ever hear about the shaggs?

    A dad was told by a fortune teller that his yet-unborn kids were destined for musical stardom. After that, the dad had no choice but to force his eventual kids into a band.

    These kids had no musical training. No sense of rhythm, no sense of pitch.

    Their released music is the auditory equivalent of a child’s crayon drawing hung on the fridge. It’s astoundingly disjointed. It’s all wrong. Frank Zappa said they’re better than the Beatles. SOMEONE out there likes screamo. Some folks out there like bagpipes. Then what happens? Your neighbor loves blasting screamo. You’ve played yourself. Unless Frank Zappa is moving in, you’d be hard pressed to find a potential buyer that like the shaggs.

    Enjoy.


  • Rec (2007) . A slow night where a novice news reporter shows a day in the life of the local firestation turns into so much more.

    I think there’s something about the intersection between found footage and a foreign (to me) film that makes it so much more believable and enjoyable. This is miles beyond the US remake, quarantine. No big name actors here to ruin the found footage vibe. Just a small town news reporter meandering through a slow night at a local fire station.


  • Ah, so when confronted with evidence of being a single issue voter, you now claim that Israel/Palestine is not a single issue.

    No, buddy, you’ve conveyed that you’re fine with ignoring all of the administrations other actions and policies, choosing to zero in on this. That’s being a single issue voter.

    At least the conservatives are honest with themselves. Though I guess some can mentally delude themselves into thinking “I don’t think preventing the genocide of the unborn is a single issue.”. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. I’m likely not not going to convince an account with 6000+ comments on the same issue to change your mind, and you clearly have much more free time than me, so I’m just going to stop here.

    Have a good day!
