What’s the strategy in releasing a “Deluxe” album that’s just a completely separate album followed by the original? This is almost as offputting as SOS landing on all the 2023 lists because it was released after the 2022 best-of cycle.

Still reading through this across the morning, but the description of mail-order Netflix makes me nostalgic for that brief window when they'd sell overstock at bargain basement prices. Great times.

I'm not sure if this is the thread for it since I'm talking audio for a video projector and not a vinyl set up (I bounced between Home Improvement, Movies, and the main Equipment Recommendation thread; please let me know if you think there's a better spot for this question): I'm looking for a...

I guess you can't make everyone happy, but that Elden Ring spin-off seems exciting specifically for how...inessential...it seems. The one-off-ness of it and the mixing in of Dark Souls bosses, as well as the inability to create characters...it all sounds intriguing and not meant to be taken too...

Could I interest you in a fresh transfer of Days of Heaven?

yup, they hid it in a sale announcement.

You'd be ahead of the curve if you didn't pick Being There; it's like there's a rule that every third person in the Criterion Closet has to praise Being There.

And if you’re in the mood for more schadenfreude, the author of the VF piece “explains” himself: https://slate.com/culture/2024/11/cormac-mccarthy-vanity-fair-augusta-britt-vincenzo-barney-interview.html Can’t tell if he’s deluded or a troll, but he claims his writing was deliberately bad, to...

Yes! I'm deeply squicked out by the authorial voice here. He seems swept up by the idea that she (and possibly McCarthy) read his substack and is too excited by proximity to a Great Man to recognize the SA survivor in front of him. Another wrinkle: some seem to speculate the subject is a...

This is paywalled, so I can't tell how much the article calls out how gross this is, but the headline and blurb make it scads grosser: https://www.vanityfair.com/style/story/cormac-mccarthy-secret-muse-exclusive eta: found an archived version; it's even worse than the headline. I can't believe...

It was an interesting review because I wanted to reject it and the author's judgement, but the only thing I disagreed about their assessment was whether it added up to a good movie or a bad one.

Curious on the generational divide on EEAaO, as well as how you think that'll play out for Anora. I saw it last night and thought it was pretty great, though I had to move to the other side of the auditorium from some people who were talking, which is annoying on its own but they were saying...

It's all right with me.

Yep, this was chock-full of unpleasant people and unpleasant fluids.

Been watching Northern Exposure basically for the first time; I remember it being on when I was a child but it absolutely flew over my head. Strange to watch a show you’ve absorbed on a superficial level yet are seeing for the first time. I’m on the tail end of season three, and it’s so...

Second ever?? You are a unique beast, my friend (complimentary).

Book 24: A Clash of Kings, by George RR Martin I remember really enjoying this one first time around but wow did it take me a while to get through. There are some good expansions of the world, especially in the five kings warring for the throne and some extra magic getting sprinkled in. It’s...
