  • God. I miss the days of these requests and bridge burning as a young punk. “Oh you don’t want us to mention x y z” First song talk about whatever weird thing they don’t want you to. “Oh you don’t want us to swear?” First song getting the crowd to chat give me a f.u.c.k. “Oh we need to turn it down?” Crank it on the second song. We are young and angry and we were never expecting to get paid this all means nothing to us. Side note. Always be nice to the staff and sound person they are just doing their bullshit jobs.




  • I agree with the comments here. It’s not very good but they go so far out of their way to laugh at themselves and the studio for making the film that it becomes charming. There are a lot of 80s / 90s sequel movies that make weird choices instead of rehasing and I’d much rather see something I’m not expecting. They know full well that a direct sequel would never please the fans so they basically destroy Matrix lore. I don’t think Neo fires a gun which I found incredible as statement on the previous movies. So yah not good in the traditional sense but it’s quite original in its post modern take on internet fandom, studio forcing sequels, lack of originality, commenting on not giving the audience what the think they want, etc.

    Awe shit. I feel sorry for this guy. He’s probably overworked at an underpaid job and the internet is going to get him fired because Disney has very strict policies for cast members.



  • Yah. Pearl Jam spent years in limbo because they thought everyone would join the fight. But no big name artists ever did because no one wanted to rock the boat. During COVID ticketmaster / clear channel/liveNation/ iHeartRadio whatever have continued to consolidate. They own the tickets they own the resell websites they own most of the big venues they can demand merch sales at the venue. If you refuse they can remove you from playing their venues.

    At this point it would take 10+ huge artists to final kill this beast. We are talking Taylor Swift / Beyonce big that actually have complete creative control. I don’t even think most top artists have that. They would have to organize everything and they would probably lose union contracts for stage craft and audio, lights, transportation. Basically they would have to start their own ticket & touring companys that outdoor fields and sports areas? and would have to stick it out for years and convince a good majority to stop buying tickets from any place using Ticketmaster.







  • Oh yah. Glad you liked it. The game is a masterpiece. I keep trying to get people to play it and everyone has the same reaction. “Sure sure, I’ll check it out…” they don’t understand how special it really is. Despite being like 95% positive and getting rave reviews from everyone. I did get a writer friend to play it and she couldn’t believe how amazing the writting was. I think it really changed her mind about how video games can be a unique form of writing. I need to start a new game of DE!
