Both of them counting their lucky stars Fiona had a "I'm a big deal in the local whatsapp group" meltdown - heat was on Stephen at the time and it totally distracted everyone, and Fiona being a traitor gave Rachel tons of clear air to work with
Watched Deliver Me From Nowhere last night. As a massive Bosshead, I was nervous cos everyone told me it was dreadful, so I had a weird framing effect where it wasn't as bad as I'd been told so I thought it was ok.
It absolutely reeked of studio interference though; there is a thoughtful meditative film in there. Wish A24 had won the bidding war instead of Fox.
Its central struggle is that it doesn't know what it wants to be about. Is it about Bruce and his dad? Doesn't even tell us that the cause of his dad's issues was undiagnosed schizophrenia. Is it about making an album? Well, that's not that interesting and there's no arc cos Bruce just wants one thing and won't compromise. Is it about choosing an artistically valid path or the more poppy successful one? No cos he released both albums and they were both really successful. Is it about getting help with depression? No, cos it just kinda tacks that onto the end.
Well made, well acted, but ultimately not really that worthwhile
This is word for word what I said in the pub. Absolutely embarrassing.
However, as a vocal defender of Mbenge, that is comfortably one of the single stupidest things I have ever seen a Rangers player do, and was absolutely indefensible
edit: i spelt embarrassing wrong, which is, ironically, embarrassing
The thing with Sinners is that, I absolutely loved it, but also the craft is off the scale. Even if you didn't like it, you couldn't deny the skill that's gone into making it. The cinematography, the music, the costuming, it's easy to see why it's picked up so many nominations.
Plus most people in the Academy aren't experts in everything so if they're likely to cross vote in other categories for film they've put for Best Film
Saw these guys at 2am at one of the All Tomorrow's Parties festivals, maybe Battles/Caribou/Les Savy Fav one? Melted the room, amongst the sweatiest I've ever been.
Not hating but I find it mad to see someone say Fleet Foxes, a band I've seen headline festivals, are obscure and posting one of their most famous songs (over 300m streams on Spotify). Life really is so subjective isn't it!
I thought The Bone Temple was a big improvement on Years (I hate Boyle's direction) but the first half was so nihilistic, nasty and cruel, it really knocked me out of caring. Finnes was fantastic though.
I can't speak for everyone, but I wouldn't put any one on ignore cos I disagree with them, but that doesn't mean I need to spend my time on earth reading bad faith wind up merchants
Be kind - if your brand is only posting when we lose, our season on season form improvements leaves you having to act like a draw is a war crime. Sad times
I really love Titus Andronicus, and their sophomore effort The Monitor is rough concept album about the American Civil War, contrasted with modern suburban ennui and how some of the conflicts remain unresolved. It absolutely bangs
Also recalled last night, late after the game in one of the breweries a very wide eyed young man in a Rangers scarf inserted himself into our conversation and his opening gambit was "I grew up on a council estate but now I part own QPR cos I made loads on crypto". Helluva drug eh
Someone near us lit up an absolutely dench bifta just before we scored, so we decided it was lucky and kept shouting "skin up, we need another!"
People were bringing beers back to the seat and our section was covered in a thick mist of fruit flavoured fog, which I mostly found endearing vs the unrelenting sniff
