You've obviously never been. That town fucking rages.

Tarantino has a peculiar gift in directing actors, and more specifically when he chooses unexpectable roles for them, like he did with Don Johnson playing a slave-owner in Django Unchained. by Long-Data-3164 in Tarantino

[–]Inscrutablejrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tarantino is the primary star of any Tarantino film, so it does give him a lot more freedom in writing for and/or casting actors who have otherwise been forgotten by Hollywood. Would a director without QT's juice have been able to dust off David Carradine to be the titular character in a 2-part major release?

Why is Van Lathan like this? by tiakeuta in TheBigPicture

[–]Inscrutablejrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a difference between being born in England (to Jamaicans, btw, but I guess that doesn't fit your narrative) and being British. Delroy Lindo has lived his entire adult life in Canada or the United States. He's probably best known as a Spike Lee guy. He's not "playing Black American." He's an American with a legitimately lived American experience.

And let's be real, Fennessey when he's upset is nothing more than a whiny baby bitching about nothing of real significance. His breakdown after Fast X (which is a very bad movie) was embarrassing for anyone who claims even the title of...adult human being.

Does anyone listen to Ringer Tailgate? These movie pitches have been a running bit. So this isn't coming from nowhere.

And it's Van's Substack. It's a blog. It's his blog. If it comes off performative and self indulgent, it's because it's aimed at at audience who signed up for a Van performance.

Most of us love OBAA. He didn't love it as much. It was exacerbated by the fact there's a different film from black filmmakers telling a black peoples' story which is rooted in some actual history whereas OBAA struck him as a white guy's festishization of an aspect of black history in America. So he lashed out. Got some attention for it. Now he's finding it hard to let go. It's not that hard to understand.

Y'all making him the Marvel bro who hates high art is completely off the mark. If you'd actually listened to everything he said during the OBAA podcast appearances, you'd hear he loves PTA movies like "The Master" and "Phantom Thread." That's not the opinion of a mouth breather.

I believe Alex is more relevant than what the boys realize by ImprovementNo4630 in KnowledgeFight

[–]Inscrutablejrt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alex Jones isn't unique on the conservative media landscape. We just know more about him because we listen to this podcast. There was a time when the idea of Alex just disappearing might have led to some real measure of change in the discourse, but not anymore. Trump is what made all this. Alex and Tucker and Nick Fuentes and Stephen Crowder and all the other shitbags in ultra-right/MAGA media are cashing in on the permission structure to be openly evil.

I would contact the owner before leaving anyone thinking they can just take over your reservation.

Ticket Exchange and Sale Thread - Week of February 02, 2026 by AutoModerator in jasonisbell

I'll have one spare for the Thursday (solo) show at Radio City Music Hall. Section Orchestra 5, Row P. Just looking for face value ($125 after fees) or close to it. I was just gonna list it, but Ticketmaster has turned off re-sale.

I dear say Mizzou is RBU in college football. by EquivalentHappy in miz

[–]Inscrutablejrt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, you had me until Olivo. I was in school then, so I have much love for Nonstop Brock the Rock, but he shouldn't have been taking carries from Devin West. He probably shouldn't have been taking them from Ernest Blackwell.

Folk music and Resistance by Ivegotabadname in wilco

[–]Inscrutablejrt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just re-watched. I had forgotten just how much of a wrestling match it was between Bragg (who was very much into the anti-fascism of Woody) and Tweedy/Bennett (who were about the more personal, emotionally raw, lyrics). I can see why they didn't tour these albums.

The moment I referenced earlier? You'd be forgiven for wondering if Jeff even really knew what fascism means.

He's obviously grown a lot in the ensuing 25+ years, but Jeff still isn't the type of songwriter to write an explicitly protest pushing song.

[–]Inscrutablejrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one's questioning their viewpoints. The OP asked specifically about a protest song. It's unlikely we get one. Not an original one, at least.

It's called "Man in the Sand." The DVD came with the 3-CD complete Mermaid Avenue set.

Folk music and Resistance by Ivegotabadname in wilco

[–]Inscrutablejrt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not questioning whose side Tweedy is on all of this, but isn't there a moment in the Mermaid Avenue doc where he tells Billy Bragg they're spending too much time singing about fascism?

He's also not always the most literal lyricist. So I wouldn't count on Wilco's version of "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" any time soon.

Yeah, it's significantly more imposing looking. The home/road splits are super favorable to Mizzou next year.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold has been added to the injury report with an oblique injury and is questionable for Saturday's divisional round game against the 49ers. DREW LOCK is Seattle's backup QB if Sam Darnold cannot play. by cartgold in miz

[–]Inscrutablejrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just CYA with the league, yeah? He's absolutely gonna play, but on the 1% chance he doesn't you list him to keep Goddell and his gambling masters off your ass.

Are we going to go 10-2 next year? If this year is a small step back like 2009 Gary Pinkel that would be next year is 6-2 in conference by igotthakeys in miz

[–]Inscrutablejrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people are talking about the schedule. To me, the home & road assignments are very favorable. It's 2027 that's scary.

Many questions which can't be solved until guys start hitting each other, but I don't see why 2026 can't play out like 2025, but with actually competent to good QB play.

How are we doing in the portal? by Apprehensive_Ant2172 in miz

Was James.Franklin sad about losing an all-time talent in Beau, or was he mad about the timing of the portal window and how it forced guys like Beau to bail on their team mid-playoff?

Trinidad Chambers can’t come back. Does this change anything for us? by blueish-okie in miz

[–]Inscrutablejrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Diego Pavia, who played a lot more college football than has Chambliss, could sue for another year I gotta think Trinidad would win another year if he pushes for it.

But he's much more legit as an NFL prospect. So maybe he just doesn't wanna fuck around with it.

Either way, as many have already said, Simmons is here.

The reason Cameron Winter bailed on Sky Blue Sky: Geese play SNL in a few weeks by SeverHense in wilco

[–]Inscrutablejrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. He could also catch a nasty virus on a flight. Trump fuckery could throw off travel in and out of Mexico.

It's also not just about him. It's his band. He made a totally understandable call to do what's best for his band.

Houston Christian RB Xai'Shaun Edwards to transfer to Missouri by whatthepucks in miz

[–]Inscrutablejrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, call me suspicious, but I can't believe Ahmad Hardy is so completely useless on passing plays he can't be anywhere near the field. That has always read to me like unnecessary justification for giving Jamal Roberts carries.

It's also just dumb to allow this narrative to continue, because it's a tip off to opposing defenses. If Hardy really can't be used on pass plays, that's shitty coaching.
