You cannot convince me that this isn’t Joe’s long con to help the Ravens.

As soon as I posted that, NBC came through with Josh Allen as a chef and Stefon Diggs on the buffet line.

Did NBC Sunday Night Football lay off their graphics team? It was the best part of the game and this season…nothing!

Well, of the things from Baltimore that I love, at least Turnstile didn’t disappoint me this weekend. (I am looking at you, Ravens.)

Shockingly I am not the oldest person at the Turnstile show. Also, my fellow olds also went to see Oasis. 🤣

I have been playing fantasy football for years. With the exception of one team that has fallen apart with injuries, I have decent rosters. I could very well go 0-5 AGAIN this week, which would put me at 1-19 for the season. I have terrible luck.

LCD Soundsystem brought out Pulp for a big cover of Heaven 17’s “Fascist Groove Thing.” Not mad about it.

Fun fact: First artist I ever saw at the Bowl was LCD Soundsystem. They opened for Arcade Fire on the Neon Bible tour in 2007. A friend of a friend worked for the LA Phil so my first time was in a box and James Spader stood like a statue in front of us. Arcade Fire didn’t get him to dance. 🪩

People bag on Southern California and I’m here living my best life seeing Pulp and LCD Soundsystem at the Hollywood Bowl. These are things I never could have grasped growing up. Literal stuff of TV dreams.

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" turns 50 today.

To celebrate, come up to the lab — our website — and see what's on the slab — a new interview with Tim Curry and others about the film's anniversary and legacy.

www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Photo of Tim Curry in profile in his wheelchair against a black background. Quote on the bottom of the photo reads "He takes no prisoners — it's his world and you just happen to live in it. He doesn't leave much air in the room. And I enjoyed that because it was so not like me, really."- Tim Curry on playing the flamboyant, sexually ravenous mad scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

I adore Tim Curry so working on Steve Appleford’s story today about “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” a movie near and dear to the Franko family, was a treat.

Tim Curry on the sexual whirlwind of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show,' then and now
After countless screenings, the classic midnight movie turns 50. The story of its success owes much to L.A.’s Roxy Theatre — and to the audiences who found themselves in it.
