    I mean, the overall vibe, hell yeah

    The upside down bridge on a J45 style guitar also looks like the right kind of rude to go with an all black guitar. mustache bridge works well too. My reservations on that guitar would be.... what exactly is it? EC? Concert depth dreadnought? I'm not sure exactly what that means but it sounds like it might be dreadnought (or presumably, Gibson Jumbo) shaped but thinner front to back. Which is cool but I'd want to play it and understand the volume, unless I'm going to use it plugged in. If you are using it on stage that might actually be really cool and comfortable, especially if you like the baggs pickup. But I'd check to make sure i understand the size, and also maybe play a Gibson or two if you're used to Martin acoustic scale lengths. I feel like you specifically are a Taylor guy? Can't remember their scale.

  2. I need to go watch again and see how it hits me this time - live I felt kinda the same way about the ending. In retrospect, I feel like this movie caught so much right about how the pandemic felt although obviously it's all over the top and cartoonish. But the whole ending sequence from the deep state false flag chaos through the ascension to power of the lunatic mom... several months out from watching this movie it feels true to how the pandemic felt in the same way that first scene with the car and the masks felt.

  3. Sack finally discovered a limit to his moral pliability when it came to the popular suggestion that, despite and unrelated to the fact that somebody had shot him right in the fucking neck, that Charlie Kirk guy was a real jerk.

    Saw it today with no awareness of what it was at all. They could have taken 40 minutes out and it would have been better. I enjoyed it but won’t think about it nearly as much as Midsommar etc.

     

    for the above, I did think they did a good job of having her continue her psychotic rambling to nobody in particular back at the house - yeah it’s a stretch but as a joke, the idea that they simply take the crazy online lady and put her in makeup and a skirt and she’s a Boebert is a good gag. And it did seem very clear to me that Lou’s dad was her abuser.

    This is out on HBO now I think and I’m going to watch it again. I was wrong, I do think about this movie and it has grown on me. In retrospect I think it was very good.

    I loved this. Touching/feel good, Brendan Fraser is great. Two for two out of movies I’ve seen of his since his return that have made me have feelings about dadhood. The girl was good. I’ve enjoyed a lot of heavy or political or tense movies lately, this one is a good feelings movie.

  6. I lived in the neighborhood around Bedicheck - other side of Congress south of Wm Cannon. I remember one time I went to that HEB and pulled into that trailer park neighborhood on the way out to try and get flipped around. Never took that exit out of the HEB again, and really quickly abandoned that store altogether in favor of shitty HEB, Manslaughter, Brodie, and even Circle C. It is hard to imagine nobody calling the cops, but also I bet it takes a lot for people who live in that neighborhood to invite the police to come to that neighborhood.

    Pretty sure the Crutchfield sisters are straight up Millenials.  Lenderman is Gen Z.

    yeah for sure. it's funny, I think my first introduction to MJ was as a guest vocal on that Waxahatchee "Right Back To It" song (apart from JimmyJazz mentioning Wednesday in this thread, but I didn't make the connection), but at this point I feel like everything touched by that group of people is part of the extended Wednesday universe, which is Gen Z coded to me. But Waxa is millennial. This video actually put so much context onto her for me - 


    also was feeling bad for the Wednesday mcu derail again but they are an extension of this whole musical tree

    I like the ending, I think. One of the things that threw me during the book is how much of a pussy he was about the whole thing. It was making me question myself even, if maybe my own history has made me a bit less worried about death than the average person? Was I supposed to relate to his refusal to go on the mission? The only thing that could have gotten me there is if he had kids, but he was a loner. The whole earth is going to freeze killing everyone, you don't have as much as a girlfriend, you are a scientist and you have the opportunity to save the planet with science and the tradeoff is you don't get to come back? Don't be a pussy. And then in the end, he has to go ahead and make that choice on his own for his friend and he makes it, and lives with the consequences, which is maybe ultimately more fulfilling than what he would have found back on earth anyways. Liked it.

  9. It’s so funny hearing a song that’s great and every time, picking up the guitar and finding that it’s the same thing as every other song. He does some quicker changes in there than I was getting and I’m pretty sure the chord I was missing is Am (relative to the capo) but yeah man it’s just g c f d and all those little hammer ons and pull offs 

     

     

    Took me a second to find MJ. This is like Gen Z Breeders.

    connecting dots here, it seems like Todd was injured in an altercation near the club, tour was cancelled, tour manager sent the band home and Todd to the hospital. When police reached out to the manager he was confused and said he asked for an ambulance, not police. Nowhere in that article does it mention what kind of state he was in that night before the assault, but from the "assaulted" and "no police please" and the state he's in on the arrest cam (the morning after?) I'm guessing he was very not OK. I mean, that article starts with 'none of the PDs have information or are trying to get information' and ends with the part where his babysitter didn't want help from police at the outset of the crisis. I'm guessing that whatever happened was connected to Todd's condition, him escaping the first hospital and getting into an altercation leading to his arrest at a second hospital was related to his condition, and getting sick in a way that killed him from a night of being assaulted, wandering the streets, being thrown in the back of a police car, and then somehow shipped back home to Nashville is also related to his condition. I can speak with some experience that nobody takes you seriously when you present as a delirious drunk or addict, it's hard to communicate effectively or consistently, you're not really in control of your actions, and it is hard on the body. That kind of night is rough at 30, I don't think I could do it at 40, not surprised if that's pretty much what the story is at 50. Fucking bummer to go out like that, if that's what happened. It would be interesting to know more about the altercation outside of the club.

    I'm so in. Loved the audio book.

    was just trying to decide if I've ever had a "I liked how this was in the audio book better" moment at a movie but I can easily see this happening with a big chunk of the dialog. Great audiobook, so looking forward to this.

    and yeah geez, skip the fucking trailer

  12. Saw this, it was enjoyable but also kind of a weird tonal mix. It couldn't decide if it is a stupid movie or not (it is, btw). I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's something like...  Hunger Games is sillier but more consistent, which makes it somehow less silly.

    Anyways, this was fun but not one to think too hard about.

     

    Spoiler

    least favorite part of the movie for me was the scene in the hallway with Michael Cera and his mom. it just didn't feel well thought out at all. that's related to what i said above but also a bit separate - that entire section didn't feel thought out. I like having a little home alone sequence in the movie but the plot got lost somewhere in it
