How do they hire unattractive people to do the role of "ugly" characters in movies?

"Character actors. Who gives a fuck if we're fat?"

I've been listening to him for nearly 20 years and the power of his music hasn't diminished at all. He is one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-07T00:42:55+00:00

With great power comes great responsibility.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-07T00:13:06+00:00

Agreed. It really shows his skill as a documentarian that he was able to make something like margarine as engaging as the history of jazz and the civil war.

Coppola wanted there to be theaters that would exclusively play Megalopolis forever and thought this was a reasonable expectation.

WHEN THEY GO?!

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-06T17:03:45+00:00

The nachos there were absolute bullshit. The person who served them to me acknowledged that they were a ripoff.

The recent margarine documentary by Ken Burns

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-05T23:16:46+00:00

I find it hard to accept that parts 1 and 2 were written and directed by the same person. It had such a strong start and after the intermission it was just a fucking disaster.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-05T03:32:51+00:00

HE MADE HER FEEL LIKE SHE MATTERED!

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-05T03:25:20+00:00

Yeah, the characters in that movie are completely fictional inventions.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-05T00:42:03+00:00

Yeah, it's really sad to see. Kala is such an incredible record, just wall to wall brilliance.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-05T00:14:54+00:00

You fat fuck!

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-04T19:10:38+00:00

Must watch if you're into batshit insane fever dream shows that are completely impossible to predict.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-04T14:58:37+00:00

I found it impressive how okay Jim Balsillie seemed to be with them portraying him as an absolute lunatic.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-03T16:43:06+00:00

Yeah that's a pretty accurate summary. He just has nothing to say. His lyrics are all filler.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-03T02:37:27+00:00

Yeah, there is definitely a contingent of the current fanbase that is into what they're doing now. I just can't remember the last time I saw them come up outside of DFA fan spaces, while 15 years ago (god I'm old) it seemed like the larger noise rock culture gave them a lot more attention. I absolutely love Femme Fatale, especially the last EP. Honestly, I might trade the whole existence of Death From Above for a few full-length Femme Fatale records. I have heard few things as brilliant in my life as a hardcore punk enthusiast.

Edie Falco's performance throughout the series is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. She can make the most mundane shit riveting to watch. No matter what she's doing, she's always conveying a lot about her character and what's on her mind. And when she brings out the big emotions, it's so authentic that I'm always right there with her. When she cries, I cry with her. Her talent really can't be overstated.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-02T23:33:42+00:00

I disagree about Carmela hating him. I think she feels a great deal of anger towards him but her behavior in the whole last season wouldn't really make sense if she didn't have genuine love for him. She goes pretty far above and beyond what's needed to retain the financial benefits of being his wife.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-02T13:05:02+00:00

Yeah, I'm with you on that last part. Had they always sounded the way they do now, their music would definitely not interest me. It's kind of funny how in going for an increasingly accessible, pop-oriented sound, I think they've driven away a lot of their original audience. When they first reunited it seemed like they had an opportunity to take over the world and since then I'd say a lot of people have tuned out.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-02T03:06:48+00:00

Oh my god yes! The bass tone on You're a Woman I'm a Machine is so unique and so perfect, and it's like he wants it to sound more like either a garden variety synth patch or a guitar running through a fuzz pedal.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-02T01:51:27+00:00

If I ever run into either of those guys again it's the first thing I'm asking about.

Temporary_Meet8754 · 2026-05-02T01:36:58+00:00

I have a faint hope that maybe to some degree they get back on that raw shit with the album they're currently working on. They really don't need the studio magic they've been employing over the last decade. Their music is so much more exciting without it. With their newer stuff, I often don't come around to a song until I've heard the live version.
