Johnny Depp should've stayed home and [REDACTED BILLY JOEL REFERENCE]

and here I thought "my father's Sesame Street animation" would be the kind of phrase I'd only hear from Georgia Hubley

in any case, I'm still dealing with my disillusionment over Bambaataa, this kind of thing is not enjoyable to endure

I suppose, though that seems a bit more like the most megalomaniac possible version of the Clapton/Bowie/Morrissey "fascism phase" and not a systematic-abuse thing. So... R. Kelly?

I would absolutely be down for a double feature of this and 'American Psycho', it'd be an interesting study in contrasts

yeah, I guess you'd probably have a better idea of how it feels if the allegations were against, I don't know, Pikachu

transporting some Crispy Souls

Slowest Ferrari syndrome

the things you miss when you read "it's his worst album" and trust the people who proclaim it

Same Old Blues - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band YouTube video by MrWzzzW

I also really like him covering J.J. Cale

Bjork attacks a reporter YouTube video by silvap

imagining this but instead of Björk it's Asuka

a sort of shadow history of pop music’s evolution as traced through cover songs

maybe add a little bonus crop dusting

in the spirit of F for Fake!

“IT’S BROKEN”

given the alt text I’m glad images are working again

yeah, see, that's the ALBUM album. I don't remember much of that in the movie, just a lot of old NWA/Ice Cube.

More movies could benefit from a werewolf break

also Amiri Baraka plays a mysterious (presumably) homeless old man who keeps saying cryptic shit about ghosts and spirits. His character's name: "Rastaman the Griot."

I thought it might be one of those kooky 'Southland Tales' situations where it is secretly good because it Speaks To Our Moment, but no

(and now I'm not going to ever watch 'Southland Tales')

apparently Ennio Morricone did some of the score (not "Insane in the Brain" though). Damned if I could remember any of it

worse than JACK HARLOW.

oh yeah, that is a very "DEAD DOVE, DO NOT EAT" sort of thing

Cheadle did this the same year he was in 'Out of Sight'!

Ghost Dog Whacks A Mobster From His Sink | Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai YouTube video by All Out Action

that one also features a goofy old white dude rapping but it's a lot better because it's got a Seijun Suzuki homage

well thank god for 'Ghost Dog' I guess

(yes: it "aged poorly" after the first few minutes were shown for the first time to anyone)

I was trying to find a way to elaborate on how poorly it aged, I think I may have misplaced the bar and how low it was

anyways, I wonder what's going on in Mai-- never mind

I thought "oh hey, I remember some funny jokes about third way centrists, I wonder how this movie holds up today" and oh boy. Oh wow, no. It was embarrassing then and mortifying now.
