Oh God. It's really become awful and unless you or your colleagues have attended before, it can be so difficult to determine which conferences aren't just an excuse for "brands" to extend into...

Can we talk about Mr. Robot's sophomore slump? It's not quite True Detective season 2 bad, but, man, it's been such a chore to get through. I wish Sam Esmail's 90-minute introspective tours of...

That's great, breathewithme. Acknowledging one's personal biases (we all have them) and being willing to listen to and not dismiss the experiences of minority communities - even when one's...

A McCain says "I'm with her" in a very thought, nuanced endorsement.

(No, not that McCain. No, not even that one. But, still, "McCain" is a big brand in the Republican party and it will have...

Hey, um, breathewithme? I'm, uh, I'm gonna try and take the message of your handle to heart and take a deep breath before I address you.

You know what? Others can probably do this better than...

These discussions are fine and all, but you've all clearly ignored the most important highlight of the Democratic Convention:

the immaculate, flawless sartorial trolling of Melania Trump by Rep....

Very solid closing argument from Hills. That said, with all due respect to our candidate, it was a distant second-best speech of the night after this speech by Mr. Khizr Khan:

Let Me Remind You Fuckers Who I Am, an Op-Ed by Hillary Clinton

DEAD.

This is not annoying. In fact, I think it's lovely. But it's been all over my FB feed today, so this thread's as good as any.

This Kid :pulse



(ETA: give it 2 secs to load)

Peter, Paul and Mary, what the devil are you talking about? Maybe I do need to start taking ginkgo.

Nah, I don't think I've matured past their output. I don't think there's anything to mature past. I still love them, but this album feels, I dunno, hollow to me. So many of the ingredients that...

Ha. I'm not a PAPB, GPS. But, yes, I certainly do use PrEP.

I'm a RH fanboy. I've loved everything since The Bends. They were the first band I loved as a teenager. And...

I don't like A Moon Shaped Pool.

It was a totally random thing. I'm nowhere near cool enough to be in the WeHo/Silverlake gay mafia, but befriended someone who was. And like Marge Simpson in her Chanel suit, I got spotted in my...

^ Jesus, these people sound awful. People who behaved like that wouldn't have lasted very long at any of the orgs I've worked at. May I ask what industry you work in? They sound like... public...

Am I being too critical or did Sundance's The Last Panthers (via Britain's Sky and France's Canal+) kind of crash and burn about half-way through? Feels like yet another prestige limited series from...

Hey, queers, what's shakin? I went to my first sex party this past May, in the Hollywood Hills. It was alright. The decor was très chic. Mid-Century Modern, sunken living room and all.

Hey, it's been a minute. Excuse the long post. I know there's another thread for this, but I must've inadvertently unsubscribed from it and I can't find it now. So, this thread - much like my 6th...

^ Does anyone know if Rosario Dawson will be live streaming her head exploding on Periscope or Facebook?

Thanks for the heads up. Project sounds intriguing. Looking forward to checking it out this weekend!

I can't speak for Hunter, but, no, that's not what I'm doing. She made many questionable musical and personal choices after her initial early 90s success all of which contributed to the stalling of...

But for those with back-button attachment issues, there appear to be some pretty damn innovative solutions out there.

While that's true, I will come - somewhat - to Hunter's defense. Pure speculation here. But, given the relative degree of religious conservatism in this country in the 80s and 90s and the lack of —...

I'm upgrading from my barely functioning Galaxy S3 next month. Probably gonna go back to iPhone - 5s or 6 (prior phone was iPhone 4S). Question for those who've gone back and forth - do you miss...

Fassbender and Cottillard as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth? How did I not know about this before? It looks AMAZING. Already open in the UK, opens in the US December 4. Anyone seen it yet?

Beyond all the ridiculous lies and fabrications Ben Carson has been telling about himself for years, there's also this...

Vig makes a very good point. That being said, some of the orgs I mentioned actually have pretty small corporate footprints; some with well under 100 employees at their corp offices. The bulk of...

I can't stand Aziz Ansari's stand-up, but I found him pretty charming on Parks & Rec. His new Netflix show looks good. It's funny how dramatically film and tv have changed. A decade ago, Master of...

I haven't started s2 of Fargo yet. Saving it for a couple of very long flights. But, I watched the Fargo film this past weekend for the first time in 15+ years. I know this is sacrilege to some...

Thanks for the suggestion, Vig. While I appreciate the nice words, I'm a few years off from being at the "pinnacle" in my industry. I'm director-level-adjacent. In some orgs, the positions I'm up...

I could use some advice. I have two potential opportunities at the same org. Not sure what to do next.


JOB #1: Sr. Manager of Consumer Marketing: I applied 6 weeks ago. Have a pretty...

Wow. You guys have great bosses. Thanks, guys!

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on what makes a great boss—as opposed to just a good or serviceable boss. And what—ugh—makes a bad boss. I certainly have my own opinions on this, but would love to...

Adele really is the midrange scented candle of her generation.

John Oliver had a nice tribute to C-Span callers a few weeks ago.

And yet another beautiful, wonderfully weird self-directed video, this time for album closer "Unputdownable". Oh, and she's nominated for the Mercury Prize.

It's like they're actually trying to help her at this point....

Thank you. The teasers were intriguing, but the actual trailer makes the film look like a bloated, incoherent mess. Not saying the film will be - just that I don't find a bunch of random action...

Thanks, bmack!

Hey Angelenos - any Chinatown restaurant recommendations? Open to both Americanized Chinese and more traditional Chinese specialty restaurants (dumplings, dim sum, noodles, seafood etc). I somehow...

Bummer.

Gazer - there are lots of great places to enjoy a meal in downtown LA. In no particular order:


Broken Spanish - some of the best gourmet Mexican cuisine I've had - located in South Park near...

Oh, cool. Glad you liked it. I'm afraid, I kind of lost faith in the show in the last couple of episodes. It felt like the showrunners kinda lost control of the thing as it descended into...

God, listening to the [fake] outrage and [very real] misogyny coming out of these Republican representatives' mouths at today's Planned Parenthood hearing is sickening. It is good to hear...

SCARFACE: The School Play

Posted this in an LA thread, but figured that you guys might be interested in it as well:

In case it's of interest, The LA Phil just released additional $26.50 tickets for the RITE OF SPRING concerts Oct 15-18. The seats are in the Orchestra View section, directly behind the LA Phil...

No trailer yet, just clips of the actor/musicians talking vaguely about the film which also stars Jesse Hughes, Volbeat and Mark Lanegan. This could be amazing or just awful. I seriously can't...
