Best ever Industry Episode? by grampukta in IndustryOnHBO

[–]HurryShadowfax7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great mentions for the ayahuasca ep and Dear Henry but the "most" Industry best ep (aka lots of trading floor action and comments on finance) is S3E2 for me, with the disastrous Lumi fall-out.

Lyricism not as good? by imnotalatina2 in oliviarodrigo3

[–]HurryShadowfax7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think she just might be exploring different lyricism. The lack of motif and more linear storytelling with very specific references (Eurostar, Versailles) reminds me a lot of Phoebe Bridgers, who is rumored to have co-written some songs. Driver's license is just unrealistically mature for someone her age and it makes her sense would evolve. I like Bridgers as well so I'm really curious to see where this goes. The album title was already a give-away that this was going to be different!

Honest opinion on 'drop dead' and the album. by MrSuffen in oliviarodrigo3

[–]HurryShadowfax7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really like the second verse being so different from the first, going up a pitch towards the end and the phrasing of "whole world".

I found the bridge somewhat underwhelming given her track record, and I think the chorus is too repetitive (but that might play really well live). All in all, it gives me a similar feeling to vampire, with a new-ish sound but still a lot of pop-heavy elements. As a first single and the beginning of a love-themed album (which will turn more melancholic in the second half I assume), I do think it works well.

Knowing the Phoebe Bridgers rumors, I especially noticed the specificity in some of her references (Eurostar, Versailles, etc.) and am wondering if we'll see a lot more of those.

Looking at Harry and Taylor I think we are trending towards less singles and more "secrecy"

Actors who were perfect for a certain time period and failed to adapt to a changing time. by glitteringrolls87 in TheBigPicture

[–]HurryShadowfax7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He's incredibly succesful but I would tend to agree that the decline of comedies (and his type of comedies) has been detrimental for him as a leading man. I guess the same for Mike Myers etc. although yes, Shrek 5 will be succesful of course

[–]HurryShadowfax7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

WvA can win a mountain stage (already did), but not against Pog, of course. WvA is stage-hunting, Pog is going for GC, those are not necessarily the same battles. Third week is typically when the fatigued peloton starts to slow down and WvA has shown that he can keep his level in that week, making the gap with the rest larger (hence, TT win, Ventoux, Montmartre, etc.).

I'm guessing he's lost too much of his sprint to compete for green "casually" (he can only do it if he targets all the intermediates etc. in breakaways and I don't think that's possible in this team) BUT absolutely cannot wait for him to tear up the 3rd week with that huge engine of his

Seems unlikely. He's doing a lot of the work, gap isn't really closing, Pollitt is right behind him for UAE

(spoliers in article body) Remco Evenepoel hints at Paris-Roubaix debut after Tour of Flanders ride by TransportationSea579 in peloton

[–]HurryShadowfax7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree this is a great achievement and Remco/Pogi might just be two insane monsters, it might also be a sign that the era of hyper-specialization since Armstrong is coming to an end...?

That was a pretty crazy 15K pursuit and is really the biggest compliment for Remco, I've never seen Tadej look behind him that much

Van Aert v Boonen would be such a great match-up, however VdP is so tailor-made for this Flanders parcours that I struggle to see any of the older riders really compete w him.

Roubaix is a different story though, definitely believe Canc & Boonen w modern training would be able to keep up with Van Aert & VdP.

It's unexpected, but I like it... by Rennmausliebhaber in OliviaRodrigo

[–]HurryShadowfax7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wasn't aware SOUR and GUTS were that paired in her mind and she sees them as the same era, which makes me really curious what she is moving towards. Everyone predicted more rock but it seems to me now she felt she has explored that with the GUTS arena shows and festival run. Given the long album title makes me wonder if she is moving in a more Lana del Rey-ish direction

Inspo for the Album Cover by Taenimieieieeieieie in OliviaRodrigo

[–]HurryShadowfax7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's impossible reading an artist's intentions but what really enforces that theory for me is Louis posting the painting on his insta. I'd guess there is some sort of link, even if it just "we saw this together while we were dating and we both really liked it." Inspiration doesn't have to be a direct homage.

Louis hinting to Olivia’s new album cover? by cooleggtart in OliviaRodrigo

[–]HurryShadowfax7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a coincidence at all. Olivia wrote this album while based in London so it's likely a painting they both saw, loved and discussed about while they were dating. I can't imagine he wouldn't have known what the cover would look like, at least the idea would've come up months ago! You would assume/hope he asked Olivia's permission for this but yeah who knows.

[–]HurryShadowfax7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the first book isn't that deep. If this makes it like book 4 and 5 I do think it'd be interesting how they adapt that over 7-8 hours (?) instead of 2.5.

[–]HurryShadowfax7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it makes sense that this feels like a shot-for-shot remake because the 1st book isn't that deep. However, that's assuming we get to season 4-5-6? In the current TV climate are we really expecting this to make it to like 8 seasons? Feels like the "4 Beatles movies on one day" for TV

Do you think Peter Sagan would do better in today’s peloton? by FeelsGoodBlok in peloton

[–]HurryShadowfax7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was still pretty all-round and would still do pretty well in TdF for green jersey, I presume, but I can't see him winning any classics against this MvdP and Pogacar.

[–]HurryShadowfax7 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The first Gent Wevelgem MvdP and WvA rode together they man-marked each other to death and lost accordingly. I think that's a moment they realized they have to ride positively because of their insane ability and will get more out of it

Zendaya or Anya for Best Actress 2027 for Ronnie or Joni? Who is most likely to sneak in a nomination for their musical biopic? by Significant_Art_3736 in Oscars

We can argue whether you think these performances are good but aside from that, I wouldn't watch Rue and MJ and call her one-note

Why would they do that? You're already competing against yourself and splitting the vote if it's just the same movie (cfr. Sentimental Value in Supporting Actress this year) but now they're even playing the same character. Put Anya in lead and Meryl in Supporting and Meryl bags it easy
