Disappointing photos show what Coachella is like in real life - JD Apr 19, 16:48 9
- Doesn't seem that bad, but other than obnoxious youngsters, Lollapalooza looks much nicer. -- nm - pmb Apr 19, 18:23
- All festivals look like shit in real life. Woodstock was revoltingly gross. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 17:33
- That’s what qualifies as photo journalism these days huh? -- nm - Qale Apr 19, 17:08 1
  - (Gestures in "ball pit at dashcon") -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 17:14

    - Granted, just made a more broad statement -- nm - budice Apr 19, 16:55 3
      - No problem. In fairness they did pretty much pay for everything as soon as they did get involved, I just query their use of Original. -- nm - LMS Apr 19, 17:01 2
        
        I often do that, the thing there at the end of your post there -- nm - mud Apr 19, 17:03 1

- That's hard core. -- nm - Mop Apr 19, 17:03
From b2: Spotify has their New Music Friday playlist. It’s fairly extensive. But it’s also kind of a pain to sift through. It’s why The Twenty… - Qale Apr 19, 16:30 [spotify]
Coachella 2022 Day 2. This time with something approaching festival levels of musical acts. Major edit for Elfman -- (edited) - JD Apr 19, 16:10 2

Soo...we've got one extremist GOP pissing off Disney and another pissing off people who eat and buy fruits and vegetables. Interesting week. -- nm - . Apr 19, 15:43 4
- The DeSantis thing is a shameless attempt to distract away from how he's trying to take away a spot in Congress from a black district. -- nm - David Apr 19, 15:51 3
  - Two spots according to NPR -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 19, 17:41

Way lost in roll complaint, that list of top 50 RomComs is seriously lacking, it says the best in the history of the movies but ignores earlier movies -- nm - . Apr 19, 15:26 3
- Those are the 50 best US RomComs from the last 15 years, pretty much. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 19, 15:31 1

      - That which hyper grows may also hyper atrophy -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 16:28
    - Yikes. Wonder if it's due to the new fee for password sharing. -- nm - sycor Apr 19, 15:50 5
      - That's only in trial markets like Costa Rica. -- nm - David Apr 19, 15:52 4
        
        But they definitely told investors it’s coming. -- nm - spamlet Apr 19, 15:59

Oh all the performances at Coachella this weekend that I glanced at and then ignored, I sure wish I'd seen Danny Elfman's. -- (link) - Mop Apr 19, 15:09 6
- That was a woefully underattended set. I watched part of it from a facing beer garden area off to the right of stage center, fancy drink in hand -- (edited) - JD Apr 19, 15:14 5
  - Bucketlist -- nm - Spawn Apr 19, 16:56 2

  - Sounds like it was the highlight of Coachella. -- nm - Mop Apr 19, 15:20 1

Ezra Miller arrested again in Hawaii -- (link) - mud Apr 19, 14:55 12
- It’s not mentioned in this article, but Ezra goes by they/them pronouns. -- nm - Qale Apr 19, 16:10

  - They were not happy because Fantastic Beasts is done. -- nm - Spawn Apr 19, 16:48

  - I wonder if WB drops Flash from the schedule and recasts him and do reshoots -- nm - eag Apr 19, 15:10 5
    - I would -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 19, 15:46
    - Well, he is the main character, you would need to reshoot the whole thing. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 19, 15:34 3
      - a lot of fandom wants tv Flash to replace Miller. a 6 month delay, $10M, few rewrites & reshoots could do it. -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 19, 15:43 1
        
        That's fine. Still, it would take a lot more than $10M and a few months. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 19, 15:56
      - As someone else pointed out, they established a multiverse where the Flash and Superman can look completely different and even move between them. -- nm - . Apr 19, 15:40

  - Right?! -- nm - Pippy Apr 19, 16:00
I switched to Charter OnDemand to watch the rest of last night's Saul episodes. They have it as one 2 1/2 hour block, and fast forward is disabled. - Baruno Apr 19, 14:32 2

- That's a massive loss. -- nm - David Apr 19, 15:01
- His agent must not have read the "limited series" fine print for Moon Knight. "I've hit the motherload with Marvel so I don't need you, Apple!" - Max Apr 19, 14:25 1
  - By the Sword 2! -- nm - Remlik Apr 19, 14:30

- And given there’s 8 team in Birmingham, there will be no fans in about 3 weeks. - Will Hunting Apr 19, 13:47 2
  - My friends and I chose Tampa Bay and we watched the entire game and parts of the others. We’ll see. I think it’s smarter than the alternative. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 19, 13:55 1
    - I think the smartest move is to partner with the NFL, assign one team to each NFL division and use the practice squad players. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 19, 13:56

Depp is doing a great job coming across as sympathetic (not to mention shy and reserved and not someone who enjoys the spotlight). -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 13:07 7
- Recent films aside, he's actually an extremely good actor. But hopefully he's not employing that skill here. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 13:09 6
  - I think everyone is aware he's an actor. It's more like, there deoesn't seem to be a need for him to be deceptive about the things he's saying. - loosilu Apr 19, 13:13
  - Of course he is. There’s a reason you practice giving testimony. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 19, 13:10 4
    - If you go watch, you'll see they went to great lengths to make him look like a shy guy. - loosilu Apr 19, 13:16 3
      - The other thing is, I think the lawyers may have deliberately not rehearsed him, because he's doing tons of stuttering, as he does in interviews. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 13:19 2
        
        Then they're paid too much. He's testifying. They rehearsed. They rehearsed again. Repeat dozens of times. - Will Hunting Apr 19, 13:39 1
