So was the whole thing with Geese supposedly being a psy-op just that they're a really good band, and people are just dumb and hate good music? Because that's what it seems like.
The trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of Ishiguro's 'Klara and the Sun' is absolutely unhinged. That has got to be one of the most tonally discordant book-to-film interpretations since that recent 'Animal Farm' abomination. Taika Waititi must be stopped.
My favorite long-running joke is when Nardwuar poses at the end of an interview, as if for a picture, and just refuses to unfreeze. It is always the best thing I have ever seen.

What a great person. There are good people in this world. I sometimes forget that. I’m grateful for this reminder.

I am flabbergasted by this whole Nolan/Wilson thing. Why, again, shouldn't Wilson be allowed to pan this (pretty blah) movie in whatever terms she wants, given she's one of the foremost authorities in the world on this text?
