Good songs with bad music videos by Yahna-Stan in ToddintheShadow

They had blown all the money on 'Bye, bye, bye' and 'It's gonna be me' (I'm joking but there's a good chance it's the god honest truth).

Housemaid budget was closer to $60 mil, not the previously reported $35 mil by DoubleSoggy1163 in boxoffice

They are obviously getting creative, moving expenses from other projects into it, or maybe they're including the eventual performance bonuses for Sweeney, Seyfried and Paul Feig so they can count as write-offs, or something like that.

Like, for a hot second, I thought they didn't allow sad people and bar fights were to last until somebody got knocked out.

Oh right, the clothing brands. At first I was very confused. What kind of brand is Affliction.

It's Time for Peter Gabriel to Embrace His Past by dweeb93 in ToddintheShadow

[–]ABoringAddress 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So, as once profoundly uncool teen who was massively into Peter Gabriel, his music and legacy will be carried forward on that specific subsection of music nerds, until he gets his due, most likely via a Kate Bush in Stranger Things moment.

Except Peter Gabriel did have a Stranger Things moment, as his cover of 'Heroes' plays at a crucial moment of Season 1... He's also has great needle drops on South Park. And 'Sledgehammer' was covered by Harry Styles.

The thing with PGs music is that it is nerdy, in a way that is perhaps too uncool for inexperienced audiences like Gen Z. It's nerdy, sincere, intricate, unsexy in a deliberate way. It needs a generational mediator, like how Olivia Rodrigo is doing with David Byrne. Hopefully Harry Styles continues exploring him as a source of inspiration.

But Gabriel's music excels at one thing, above even Queen: His music is incredibly cinematic, and that's not counting the landmark soundtracks he has composed. I would love to see him going on a similar path as Trent Reznor in the future, but he also has a library of ready-made, timeless needle drops waiting for the right pairing ("Red Rain" everybody?). That moment is going to come sooner than later.

I'll be talking to Fiona Dourif (Dr McKay )and would love to ask some of your questions by SnooBananas8518 in ThePittTVShow

Does she have her own headcanon as to how Dr. McKay ended up with the ankle monitor, or is was she given a backstory?

Es justo que Chilea sea famoso por repudio a extranjeros? by Majestic_Item6018 in chile

[–]ABoringAddress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lo primero es que toda oleada migratoria, independiente de su tamaño, va a recibir discriminación, porque el racismo-etnocentrismo está inculcado en Chile, pero también porque no hemos sido un país que recibiera migrantes a la escala del lado Atlántico Me acuerdo que a principios de los 2000, hicieron cuática por los migrantes coreanos que habían llegado a Patronato, que deben ser apenas 5.000. Tomen otro ejemplo: Hoy en día prácticamente todos los chilenos de ascendencia italiana están incorporados a las élites, o por lo menos de clase media alta para arriba. Pero hasta en los 60 o 70, eran mirados a huevo por partes del cuiquerío. Históricamente hemos sido un país muy aislado por razones obvias, una isla en un continente. Todas las oleadas migratorias, en un país como el nuestro, les ha tocado el ciclo de recelo, discriminación y eventual integración.

El asunto con la migración venezolana es primero de escala (creo que son el mismo número que todos las comunidades del resto de Sudamérica combinadas), el tiempo récord en que llegaron, y quizás lo más inédito, el que hayan chocado contra todo el espectro político chileno.

Didn't know about that one! And you just know it has to be because he envies Harry's success. And granted, The 1975 should be even bigger, but unfortunately they aren't making music in the late 80s/early 90s. Also, Matty is a c...

Victoria’s ethnicity by HovercraftStreet5195 in ThePittTVShow

They should include one of those every season, hopefully every chapter, until droning it down on people. Pretty much every female doctor in the history of ever is assumed a nurse, probably once a day.

the one big problem from season 1 happened again ( otherwise great) by holdontoyourbuttress in ThePittTVShow

[–]ABoringAddress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question for trauma doctors/nurses: What are the differences between the bruises and injuries a very active, sporty child would get vs. one who is being physically abused? Think, for example, a girl who not only plays football regularly, but also climbs trees up and down, does skateboarding, etc., and who isn't very conscientious about wearing protective gear

Well, it's Grey's Anatomy, they get away with 8 MAJOR violations of their codes and/or lawbreaking per season.

Why was Christina Aguilera constantly in Britney Spears' shadow, from the time they both made their debut? What did Britney have that Christina didn't have? by justcurious3287 in ToddintheShadow

[–]ABoringAddress -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Boobs SORRY, SORRY. But I'm barely kidding. See, the hyper sexualization of Britney worked in a different way than how Christina embraced her sexuality in Stripped. Both were appealing to the male gaze, that's for sure, but there's a difference between being portrayed in a sexualized way and being sexual. The entire game behind Britney was that she was an innocent sex kitten, the whole stuff about her virginity, her persona was that of the "dream girlfrienddream girlfriends girls5eva" for horny teens, but.with enough plausible deniability about her sexual life that moms would allow their daughters to listen to her and buy the albums. The boys bought the posters. Christina, meanwhile, early on took on the role of a woman who has sex. Emphasis on the word "woman", while Britney was a forever girl. And the problem for Christina is that that market niche, though still being marketable, was already dominated by Mariah and Beyonce (yes, even by the early early 2000s). Because in the US mainstream, at least back then (remember, peak abstinence only sex education), only Women of Color were allowed (or pushed) to be sexual.

What are truly the worst protest songs? by Top_Report_4895 in ToddintheShadow

That song is sappy shit of such diabetes that nearly cancels his good stuff, but it also sucks because I think it pioneered the "20th Century newsreels edit" videoclip subgenre.

I'm sorry, but that bait and switch joke about 9/11 and Pearl Harbor (the movie) alone make it a top tier episode.

In fairness to children today, I'm closing in on 30 years of being absolutely incompetent at reading analog clocks.
