On the subject of clairvoyance, Gilroy downplays such a notion for the simple reason that he based his Emmy-winning series on historical records. “You get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible,” Gilroy tells The Hollywood Reporter. “How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don’t think it’s prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism.”

Yes, you were inspired by history books, including the use of pretext.  Yeah, it’s the same shit all the time. Get rid of truth, get rid of a free press, destroy communities, nationalize the businesses, find an arbitrary enemy that you can elevate and false flag them through propaganda. Flood the zone with as much gak and atrocity as you can so that nobody can pay attention to what just happened, and pray that you have an overwhelming majority of sheep that will follow you. It’s just tragically and sadly familiar. It’s on them; it’s not on us.

A terrific new interview with Tony Gilroy about Andor from The Hollywood Reporter. Insightful, candid, and absolutely worth your time.

All hail Costco and the guy who started this lawsuit. Also all the normal people who understand "fuck you, make me" is easier than sucking up to this dementia-ridden old fascist.

I'm not just saying this because the Outback period is my favorite X-Men era, but I'm more interested in telling new stories in old timelines than I am in current X-Men stories.

I really wanted to like this post-Krakoa time, but outside of Uncanny and Magik and Colossus, nothing sticks for me.

X-Men Outback series?

Yes, please.

(Even if it's a limited series.)

I thought that's what his stupid-ass dance was called.

HAPPY LIBERATION DAY!!!

His blood pressure has got to be through the roof right now, so if anyone has a chance to ask him an aggressive question about the Epstein files, that really could make It happen today.

Come on, reporters. We'll build statues in your honor.

Good to see some great Star Wars writing will still have a home.

New Clear Days is full of catchy songs.

#RiversDemoFlood 1820: Let's Go to the 33rd Dimension 8 (Instrumental)

2011-2014

From EWBAITE

Let's Go to the 33rd Dimension is a fun, catchy, witty song about the risks of imbibing substances from/with strangers on mass transit.

This instrumental version only has the catchiness.

⭐ ⭐

But for serious questions, I'm also curious about whether there was any extra Leia footage from TLJ and if so, why it wasn't used.

Did they originally have more cameos (like in the novel) during the final space battle?

And who had the dumbass idea to put scenes from the final battle in the trailer

Colin deserved to be fired for the stupid/lazy last name Solana.

That's a depressing way of looking at things.

And wrong.

He got them the plans for the first one.

Which showed the Empire could be beaten and planet killers are not invincible.

Hope breeds hope, each time.

@tomchansky.bsky.social and I talk Kylo and some other Rens!

Good to hear Sal's soundboard get a workout. I'm sure it made Iraj feel right at home.

#RiversDemoFlood 1819: Quick Dark to Glory on the Piano

2011-2014

From EWBAITE

Despite the tone implied (at least to me) in the titular line, this 43-second piano and vocals sketch is pretty upbeat.

Could be better, but the quality's not that great.

⭐1/2⭐

Hey Sam!

Can't really say I have a dream series. My main requirement is that it takes place either before TPM or after ESB.

This is not surprising at all.

More Star Wars animation, you say?

Like Chewbacca before him, he refused the medal.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”

High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

with acoustic backing. The choruses have crunchy electric guitars. And there's a big piano moment during the bridge.

The final band version would be similar. The final version rocks, as does this demo.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The bundle has two demos for Pork and Beans. This is the better one. We're not sure exactly when this is from. Best guess is late '07 or early '08.

It's a fun demo and you can tell the song's going to be a hit. The lyrics are there. But the instrumentation is all over the place. Verses are done...

ago, by going through some old discarded riffs with Jackknife Lee), and found inspiration in some things he had written between 1998 and 2001.

One of those songs, Diamond Rings, became Troublemaker. Rivers used another riff as the basis for one of Weezer's biggest hits, Pork and Beans...
