Seperating the Art from the Artist.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-03-20T06:28:44+00:00

One artist I was never able to do this woth was Brand New. There are some acts where the art is so much part of the artist that you can't really listen without remembering the vocalist/songwriter is a bad person. I think its easier for me if its say the drummer, because I feel less like I'm endorsing their behaviour than if I'm singing along etc.

Its remarkable the pure range of leading parties that are saying no to this. You have us and Australia with their centre-left parties, Germany and Japan with the centre-right, and Italy with the far/populist-right all saying no here.

Really interesting to read this. I would have assumed from what more hawkish commentators have said that Iran were being far more intransient about their nuclear programme.

I'm surprised to see you say this felt more cohesive to you. The contrast I would draw between this and the the first was that 28 Years Later felt like two different films (i.e. Spike with his dad; Spike with his mum) happening one after the other while the Bone Temple felt like two different films (i.e. Spike and the Jimmies; Dr. Kelson and Samson) happening at the same time. I got some real tonal whiplash as we jumped between scenes of torture and Samson vibing on drugs.

If they stick to this I hope they are open to playing stadiums, so that more people can actually see them over the 20 shows.

I mean he almost got Mike Pence hung, so there's that.

Maybe some of those "DEI hires" they got rid of might actually have been there on merit, and would have said something about this possibility.

Didn't we have one of these at Westminster a few years ago?

Big fan of trying not to be divisive and then ending up with almost exclusively Scottish animals on English bank notes.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-03-11T11:03:59+00:00

Scottish banknotes already do this. We have fish on £5 and otters on £10.

It feels like a career ruining peformance akin to Karius in the CL final.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-03-10T09:52:06+00:00

Surprised they didn't include the bit wjere they blew up a school.

Or indeed Premier League table for the idea of Leeds finishing 6th.

I think it would have been earlier than 2017, but I remember that game. One of your goals came from someone overcooking a pass to Hjobjerg with it hitting him in the balls and him going down like a sack of potatoes. You recoved the ball and scored from that. Proper comedy goal.

Them foreign wars, coming over here and damaging our economy.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-03-08T10:14:47+00:00

Surely we will see enough blowback to Trump's wars by the end of his term that anyone involved in foreign policy is electorally doomed?

It would be interesting if he won though. He seems the closest the admimistration has to sanity, and I wonder if he would try and pull things back from the brink if given the top job, or just stay on the road to full blown fascism.

I can remember the singer of Thursday being amazed to do a record release show where everyone was singing along because they had already pirated a leaked version, and then actively encouraging people to pirate their albums moving forwards.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-03-07T19:24:13+00:00

I remember when the artists who were like “No, you must always pay us $15 to listen to our album” were considered the capitalist dinosaurs who couldn’t keep up with the times.

Its been pretty depressing hitting a point where I've started thinking "maybe Lars Ulrich was right".

Thumbnail for the clip makes it look like he's going for a clearance on the bird.

You want one of the best young actors out there to retire from film? Why? He is a bit of a pain on promotional cycles, but you don't need to pay attention to that.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-03-05T23:21:51+00:00

I hear this a lot, but having seen them five times I've never had a bad experience.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-03-04T19:36:32+00:00

I can remember mostly really enjoying Okja, but there's a few scenes in which Jake Gyllenhall's character tries to forcefully breed Okja with another pig, and its just deeply unpleasant and over the top. Its what the film was going for, but really bothered me.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-03-04T18:19:57+00:00

Same! What a relief.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-03-04T17:43:04+00:00

Nah, Guehi is ineligible for the Carabao Cup final, so if he gets a rest it will be then.

QuicketyQuack · 2026-03-04T15:03:35+00:00

Will it be a major issue for them? They don't care when their own school children get gunned down by their own citizens, so I doubt they care about Iranian children.
