Fair enough. They felt ubiquitous to me through those first two albums. I feel like any time something has mainstream success you see the spectrum of music fans get into it: bandwagoners, starfuckers, hipsters, snobs, what have you. Then our impression of it is colored by who we’re around.

I was 20 and this was not my experience. My friends and I were all music obsessives, many working in college radio, and a lot of us loved The Strokes while also knowing way more than jack shit about music 🤷♂️

Disappointing but not surprising. At least we’ll always have the three movie you cite (as well as all the other projects he’s had a hand in). But I have to ask, where are you on SPANGLISH?

His book is a bestseller and he’s going on shitty podcasts talking about how the experience showed him who his true friends were. If only he actually were cancelled.

You mentioned Ryan so I feel obligated to stump for the very good second season of Tim Roth’s LIE TO ME, another procedural that was way better than it had to be once Ryan showed up

Every time. People show you who they are, it’s just easy to miss sometimes

Makes perfect sense. I’ve had a lot of clients who felt sure but still wanted the official diagnosis for peace of mind.

I think it’s supremely fucked up that having the opinion “20 year olds look like children” makes me a good guy or whatever. What a terrifyingly low bar.

Have you taken the RITVO? Not confirmatory but easy to find for free online and a generally reliable indicator

In addition to the fact that it's very much the power imbalance and legal responsibility to protect them that makes them children, it's also disturbing that so many people are willingly like "listen, 15 year olds are hot, and that's a fact." They are children. They look like children.

The TV version of John Carpenter’s THE THING had a lot of this. If memory serves, Keith David refers to the creature as a “monkey fellow” at some point.

I have decided to accept that though they seem good for me on paper it’s just never going to happen

Yes, people from Southern California, the region and the school, know. If he’d been playing just a little more recently there would have been more stories about it.

I saw it at 14 or so at an art theatre in Costa Mesa and the ‘sex’ part of that description definitely was a big part of the draw at the time. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve appreciated the rest of it even more
