"When talking about singing on this record I wanted to see how far I could push some of the vocals, Joe was definitely an inspiration to me on how reckless you can be when you let yourself go in a song."

"Giovanni’s Room is one of my all-time favorites by James Baldwin, a master of deconstructing the American character and social temperature during an era in which novels that explored race and queer love were few and far between, at best."

Album Favorite

"I could be wrong but this feels like the most melodic house thing they've ever done, very nice chords etc. Everything from the album so far has been amazing and I read they've got a track with Alan vega on."

A Series of Unfortunate Events - Season 1
2017 | Drama, Fantasy
Has wild and interesting costuming, far out setting and is generally visually exciting. It has a decent cast with capable young actors. (0 more)
Can be repetitive and the style can be pedantic, especially to and older viewer. Definitely a family series. (0 more)

I liked the first movie of fantastic beasts and this one didn't disappoint me I like the actor who plays the lead role, some of it is a bit far fetched but it does come from a Harry Potter spon off.

Rolling Stone's 410th greatest album of all time
Far from Dylan at his best, a series of dirgey whining tracks. Having watched Tiger King, Dylan just sounds like Joe Exotic to me now. An unfortunate but amusing slant when listening.

I really wanted to enjoy this movie after seeing the trailer and hearing all the hype for it, but the 86 minutes run time is far too long, you could reduce the film to around 15-20 minutes.

For me, this film was OK. Nothing more. There was some good moments and you cannot fault the tunes. But I felt no real connection with the main character Jack and Ellie. Jack seemed very bland with no charisma. Ellie had more a out her and you felt , strangely, she held something for Jack. What his friends saw in him also I dont know.
But, that aside, the film was an ok watch. Yes, some things just weren't explained like how did 2 other people know about the Beatles and to what actually happened with the black out?
But never the less, the film plodded along and keeps you interested to what happens at the end. Other than that...hmm? Music-film wise, Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman are far, far superior to this.
As for the Ed Sheeran cameo...luckily his song writing is far better than his acting.
