  • John Mulaney and Neal Katyal are working together on a TV show which Katyal described as a "West Wing for the Supreme Court." [More inside]

  • many comedians have successfully pivoted to more dramatic careers... though I suspect John Mulaney will not be one of them

  • Why can I only enjoy music when it's 20 years out of date? So annoyed with myself.

    Jump

  • a lot of contemporary popular music is not very good, and this has been true of every era in the past. the good stuff is what people remember and still listen to decades later, so maybe you've been waiting for the cream to rise to the top. it takes a more concerted effort to filter through the noise yourself

    also there can be an overexposure problem with new music, I hate when a song becomes so popular that you can't escape it and it loses its impact. I recently heard "Somebody That I Used to Know" for the first time in years and realized it's a genuinely great song but I didn't appreciate it at the time because it was fucking everywhere

    though these days the very concept of "popular music" is dying along with the rest of the western monoculture so idk what if anything from the modern era will stand the test of time. the mainstream can be more easily ignored than ever before. there's so much great music out there though, you just have to find the right niche(s) that appeal to you

  • here it is, the conservative turn to "Epstein did nothing wrong" and "actually it's ephebophilia". finally the right is being honest about the fact that they just straight up support pedophilia and think child abuse is good actually. after all these are the kinds of people who want to retvrn to ancient Rome

    into the barely legal type

    liked 15 year old girls

    so... not legal. and you know what else is illegal? human trafficking. in fact that's illegal even if the victims were adults! (which, to reiterate, they were not)

    and to my knowledge Epstein had victims as young as 12

  • Anyone else watch the new Del Toro Frankenstein movie?

    Jump

  • Maybe my expectations were too high but I was pretty underwhelmed. Frankenstein was a bit too much of an asshole and the Creature was too innocent. I know Victor is obviously supposed to be the villain of the story but his portrayal could have used some nuance.

    And it just felt feckless to remove the parts where the Creature kills out of revenge - like yeah technically he does kill William but it was more of an accident and not premeditated like in the book. It's way more interesting when the Creature does truly immoral things, leaving the audience to ponder whether he can be held accountable for his actions. In the book you could argue that Victor kills Elizabeth by creating and spurning the Creature but in the movie he just literally does kill her lol.

    Speaking of Elizabeth, I'm not sure about the change to making Frankenstein an incel lusting after his little brother's fiancee. It's not an uninteresting development but it really gets at my point of Victor being too much of a sack of shit. And it removes the element of jealousy with the Creature wanting a companion like his creator has.

    I also thought it was weird how everyone knew what Frankenstein was up to the whole time, though I didn't totally hate that change because it shows how society enables wealthy assholes to do evil shit.

    The Creature being cursed with immortality was an interesting addition but the super-strength was too much. I don't need cool epic setpieces in a Frankenstein movie, I'd rather it be moody and unsettling.

    I guess I was expecting a closer adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel, and while it can be good or even necessary for adaptations to make changes to the source material (and that's part of the fun with Frankenstein adaptations in particular) I just felt like too many of Del Toro's changes made the story worse for me. Also it should have been a horror movie.
