Their Bluesky bio is “we back” lol. I am skeptical like the rest of the thread but I hope it’s true!

Sucks because I want to see it, but it’ll probably get a big festival premiere now, which is cool

Slangster liked Craig Manning's post in the thread Album The Gaslight Anthem - History Books (October 27th 2023).

Listen to Across a Wire, their live album from the mid-1990s. There's a stripped-down acoustic set from VH1 Storytellers and then an electric set from MTV's Live from the 10 Spot. Both are great and give an idea of how the band deviates from how the songs sound on record.

Holy shit, what a great combo

Slangster liked trevorshmevor's post in the thread Movie Mickey 17 (Bong Joon-ho, March 7, 2025).

I wouldn’t necessarily be so bold as to assume Bong “forgot” about certain characters, even if I like the actors and would’ve been glad to see them utilized more. To me, the point of characters like Timo, Kai, and the recruiter only credited as “Red Hair”, is to show how many people in Mickey’s life position themselves as people who care about him, but in the end are revealed to be abusive and dismissive of his humanity and place in the world. The alluring woman with pleasantly aromatic hair doesn’t care that you’re whimpering at the gun she’s pressing to your head, because you signed the dotted line. The best friend that promised to grow wealthy with you finally got an inch ahead and is now leaving you to be eaten in an ice cave, prepared to saw you into 13 predetermined chunks at the mere thought that he might have to face consequences that are sure to find him regardless. A person that would happily send you to certain death unless you were willing to let them claim you as their own personal sex object. Everyone wants to know what dying feels like, but no one considers or cares that Mickey is just as afraid of it as they are. And then obviously this theme travels up the narrative to the carelessness of Kenneth/Ylfa with the Creepers. Devaluing whatever life they see below them, so invested in the propagation of the humankind that they’re willing to blindly send another, completely peaceful species to extinction. Sorry for the word vomit, just been trying to work out my feelings on this. I think in exploring why this didn’t really work for me, I wound up liking it more lol. Not everything, but some of it is clicking a little better now

Yep, really loved this. Ruffalo’s whole thing was weird at first but I got over it. Him and Collette singing at the dinner table got a big laugh out of me. Pattinson is so good. Def my favorite of Bong’s English films.

I’ve really fallen for this album after a couple listens. It’s perfect for walking around my city.
