I got directed to a screen in the multiplex that was already half an hour in, instead of about to start, so had to go and catch the beginning later when it ended early. (By now I've happily gone 4 or 5 times just to enjoy watching as much of the incredible animation as I have time for that day.)

At least they fictionalised... that's better than faking, imo!

(there are lots of newspaper sources in-film that probably cite a US town, that i didn't spot on TV screen... but from the opening shot of an imaginary 1960s sky-tower in CGI, the BGs totally read as Van)

thread on seattle reddit asking why his openers at "climate pledge" sounded fine and he was inaudible
(he refused to pay for union soundness who know the room, apparently, shipping in incompetent scabs instead?)

The Changeling (1980) is egregious on this, bar one shot of George C. Scott entering Rainier Tower that got cheers when the restoration screened at SIFF

Fair -- I read it as being shown as a horrible way to treat someone, not a full-throated "well the family were just doing their best" Back Then When We Didn't Know Better, and the isolation is what's damaged him the most... but it is fully playing into the trope narratively.

Kinda and BO are the only ones from this season I've ever rewatched (13 yrs ago) and while Orchid now makes no sense I still found it delightful. And it's v. funny that Adric and Waterhouse are collectively told "ooh look there's a buffet, go on love we'll see you later"

(tbf Bay's latest is a documentary about a British parkour crew, and his previous was shot on a budget 1/6 of the last Transformers movie, and of which Bay said "the CGI is shit" but it didn't matter bcz there wasnt much and the point was the performances and driving.)

(and changed the setlist so they didn't even play exactly the *same* hits each night. although the last three songs of the encore stayed the same, ending with All My Friends, oh noes)

"people who don't have credit card x were excluded from three of the gigs in my city" sounds like a reasonable charge of breadheadism until you check and see they played TWELVE SHOWS IN A ROW in his city

Yesterday I came across him complaining in 2012, a full decade after his previous comic book*, that the reason comic stores don't order his comics every month is that they're afraid of getting arrested.
*Fifteen years after the previous.

Jouanou and Keith Gordon were both alums of the TV version of Wild Palms, which also had a K. Bigelow ep and was sold on the name of executive prod Oliver Stone. (It took writer Bruce Wagner taking another swing at adaptation to get closer to the comic, though, with Cronenberg in 2014.)

Fallen Angels (noir adap anthology series) had eps directed by Soderbergh, Cuarón, Bogdanovich, Michael Lehmann, John Dahl (an omen!), Agnieszka Holland, Phil Jouannou... and Tom Hanks, Kiefer Sutherland and Tom Cruise. (Fewer big names writing, but Scott Frank and Donald Westlake in there.)

It's "Losing My Mind" from Sondheim's Follies, 1971. Though perhaps he knows it from the Liza Minelli / Pet Shop Boys 1989 version. (Or far more likely, it's a sideways nod to The Last Of Sheila, one of Johnson's most-cited influences on Knives.)

James was public about it repeatedly, and has been frequently denounced and disparaged by Glin in the last couple of years (eg of the latter iirc, calling him Brian Butterfield's social media manager). I'm sure it's James he was referring to in his torygraph cry-ed.
