I've just realized Anathema's theme in Good Omens is a slowed-down piano cover of It's a Hard Life by Queen
Nice touch :)

Tonight’s random record shelf pull…
The Isley Brothers “The Brothers: Isley” 1969
Appropriate due to the death of Rudolph Isley earlier in the week. Ernie Isley is playing guitar but not an official member yet so he didn’t get hang out in robes with his brothers. They get really funky here and keep the ballads to a minimum. A very enjoyable listen.
As a bonus here’s someone critiquing the Isley’s clothing choices on their albums…

Watching Trading Places for the first time and the music nerd in me noticed something right off the bat
The movie starts with the overture of Handel's Messiah (I'm pretty sure it's the overture but I know it's from Messiah if nothing else), then begins to branch into the movie's musical themes... in essence, they took an existing overture and made their own overture out of it, establishing both the holiday association with Messiah as well as the movie's own motifs

yikes... you worshiping male characters regardless of what they do while criticizing jen walters for the few bad aspects of her show that can be attributed to the writers and not her... your blog says everything about why you make it a point to hate watch she-hulk every week and it's incredibly disappointing. i'm not some mcu fan who loves everything they put out, but man, it's tiring seeing people criticize media like she-hulk in bad faith waaaay more than mediocre white male media. oh well :/
This is... actually really funny because you don't always get anon hate that tells on itself so much.
I've been very clear and consistent about specifying that I don't dislike Jen Walters and in fact really like how she's portrayed by Tatiana Maslany. Her performance is the only really worthwhile thing the show has to offer, and it's why I find it so frustrating that they don't really do anything interesting with her. Every post I've made has been about the writing or specific narrative choices or the CGI or something to that effect.
As for me "worshipping male characters", whomst??? I'm not even really sure who this is about, as there's not a single male character I've posted about uncritically on here. Best guess is that this is about Matt Murdock, which like... I drag him constantly for being a shitty person and a crappy friend. I think his narrative arc is incredibly compelling and the Netflix series was really good, but I hope I don't need to explain to you that there's a difference between finding a character's narrative compelling and liking them as a person/co-signing their behavior, especially when you also criticize that behavior.
I think a lot of the criticism for she hulk has been bad faith dude bros whining because a woman was in a marvel thing, and that's dumb bullshit, but you can't lump all criticism in the same boat. My problem with she hulk, which is my problem with a lot of marvel's stories centered around women, is that they market them as though they're some groundbreaking feminist storytelling and then do very little to actually develop the story or characters well and coast on mediocrity that's only made passable by the talented women they cast. It's a huge disservice to the characters and to anyone who actually gives a shit about them. I'm not going to applaud them for crumbs, and if you're going to sell your work on it's "feminist storytelling" then you sure as shit better deliver more than a shallow girl power narrative. It's 2022.
