Since I've summoned boom bap twitter has anyone seen the Arsenio Show's hip hop all star special?

Look this had been well dunked on but it's worth highlighting that "old films" (and also "foreign films," which these types also hate) are, you know, the vast majority of movies.
Why limit yourself so severely?
updating the list to add Kraftwerk (omitted due to typo) and Gwar

Instagram is now *forcing* me to have a Meta account that i can't control or disable. should i quit all social media forever? including this site? (but NOT Letterboxd or Chess dot com or Discogs)
honestly i only joined instagram to get the touring musicians more gas money because i've accidentally been put in the position of being a concert promoter

Citizen Kane is famous for it's "deep focus," a sort of visual glitch caused by using too narrow of a lens aperture. If it was made today, a more modern shallow depth of field would help audiences to know exactly where they should be looking.

Every day there are articles about plummeting movie theater attendance, cratering musician income, and overall decline in everything that isn't short-form mindless slop. If your idea is that text needs to have free short-form slop... I have great news about the site you're on.
this Beach Boys "news" reminds me, I'm making a list of what i call "Ship of Theseus Bands," where there's no one single person who was a member of the band all the way from the beginning to the breakup or the present day (not counting bands that broke up and then reunited later)
…before you nitpick, Mike might have been the last remaining Beach Boy, but he temporarily walked out during the recording of "Smile." so he wasn't there for the full run.
similarly, Ralf was absent for that early-70s era of Kraftwerk that was just Florian with Rother and Dinger

Broke: "LLMs mean we're getting UBI and will never work again!"
Woke: "After you die, Facebook will make your account post advertisements from beyond the grave for eternity."
so annoying that Instagram automatically adds a random song to your "story" and i can't find any way to manually prevent it from doing this. probably i've been accidentally letting this happen forever and never noticing because every non-iTunes app is always muted
how is Instagram somehow a worse website than this one? why is the annoying secondary feature that Instagram added to be more like TikTok somehow the main space left in which to tell anyone about local DIY events? i hate it here
