The Archie digests you find in supermarket checkouts are actually kind of great, they usually have comics from different eras and it's a fun, weird way to get a look at pop culture history. Narratively they're usually terrible but there's something fascinating about the plug-and-play style, and if you read a bunch at once it starts to feel like minimalist music, all these little diversions and subtly shifting repetitions creating an overall oblique whole. Now and then it becomes pop art. edit: I'd love to see a history class that teaches culture exclusively through parody. You get this really violent sense of bleeding life reading 1970s and 80s Mad Magazine in such a compact way. Magic Hate Ball fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Jan 27, 2017 |

Now and then it becomes pop art. The digests were a history of Archie in the sense that each era you get different interpretations of the characters and their relationships. Archie was sometimes a total goober with a real jalopy of a car or he was an average dude everyman with a decent car. It was an introduction at a young age to the idea of long-standing characters being changed and re-imagined over the years whereas with TV shows or movies you might settle on a certain interpretation as "my Batman" if that's the one that happens to be dominant when you're at a particular age.

I took a look at the Egyptian Theatre's schedule and unfortunately, they're not showing anything while I'm in town (the downside of a Tuesday-Thursday trip), But I might go see something at Cinefamilly or the New Beverly. Has anyone here seen The Love Witch?

Re: LA poo poo, the Nu Art Theater on the Westside is also neat and is walking distance from Sawtelle (ramen, ramen and ramen). If you hit up the New Bev, eat around the corner at Wirsthaus and get tanked before gorging on cheap popcorn.

I spent a little over $175 to get third-row seats at their Milwaukee show in 2015 and it was incredibly well worth it. I was going to get tickets for the Chicago show but they were just so, so expensive. At least the Boston show isn't at the Orpheum -- that's where the 2013 one was, and the acoustics were just terrible all night long. I'm interested to see how the songs from Skeleton Tree translate to a live setting, because they're just so pared back (driven heavily by Warren Ellis' loops), and yet they're touring with a full band: Ellis, Marty Casey, Thomas Wydler, Jim Sclavunos, Conway Savage, George Vjestica and Larry Mullins (better known as Toby Dammit). Savage hasn't toured with the band in a few years, nor has Wydler, and I just wonder what they'll actually be doing on the stage.

There's a great K-BBQ hot wing place right next door called Kyo Chon that is FANTASTIC however, and there's hardly ever a wait to get a seat.

I read somewhere on this here website that it's actually totally possible to present a landscape picture while holding a vertical phone, they just don't do it because its unintuitive to record something with bars covering so much of the screen & end up with a different final file then you started with. Seems like theres apps that do it for you now though https://horizon.camera/

I wonder if part of the issue is sheer screen real-estate: if people are recording something, they want the result as big on their screen (if for no other reason than they want to be able to see if their recording is what they want to be recording), and the bars at the top and bottom are crunching the image (if only during filming). Unrelated, I really wish movie ticket kiosks had a "are you sure you want to print this ticket? Your showing isn't today!" sanity check on them. I bought a ticket to a little indie movie I'm interested in, and somewhere along the line I glossed over the fact that it comes out next Friday, not today.

Timby posted:It's okay, you can admit you're really pumped for The Space Between Us. I actually am I interested in that, but it wasn't what I was thinking of. It's a movie called Growing Up Smith, a coming-of-age story about an Indian boy dealing with wanting to be an average American, with a father that is both supportive and wants him to be an average Indian. I'm not sure why I'm so interested in it - Jason Lee is in it, and I haven't seen him in poo poo in a long time, plus the film ain't exactly my wheelhouse in general - but I caught an ad for it, and had the time off from work, so bought tickets. It wasn't until I made a random comment to the ticket-tearer about seeing a movie so obscure that they didn't change the signage in that theater that we realized something was up.

I can't take the space between us seriously because I just in general can't take movies that play it straight but have pun titles seriously. See also Miles Ahead and Land of Mine.

Saw Neutral Milk Hotel there and it sounded fine but if you're like anywhere back past the orchestra section in that place it's really hard to get a good view. Really excited that the show's at the Wang* this time. I haven't given Skeleton Tree a close listen yet but I like what I've heard. I thought Push the Sky Away was amazing though, it's honestly in my top 3 of his probably. *heh Uncle Boogeyman fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Jan 28, 2017 |
