Have been SO overjoyed over the past 24 hours that the wonderful debut Courtney Barnett album made it to #6 on an INTERNATIONAL best 2015 albums list. It is so much my favourite of the year. (Also lad that "Coming Home" made it, as it is in my Top Five for 2015 as well)
Don't forget that Sarah Paulson dated Cherry Jones for years. I believe that LITERALLY makes her an actressexual.
RE: Baby Pratt.
Take it from someone who used to be thin: that is not thin. Slim, toned, low body fat, lean? Yes. But not thin.
I couldn't help but speculate when I read about that Holland Taylor interview, for some reason I just KNEW she was talking about Sarah Paulson. Good for the both of them!
Scowl at the Moon: Can the DCXU just DIE? Dreary miserable Superman. "Hard" PG-13 Suicide Squad. (Bleep me. Did no one learn ANYTHING from the failure of The Expendables 3? Even Deadpool's not making that mistake.) Jason Fuchs written Wonder Woman. Please don't shoot Justice League Part One.
Paul: I can hear the music in your voice after reading that reply.
I know it's none of my business but i need to know EVERYTHING about Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson.
Anyone else see Demi Moore in that Carol pic?
What do I have to do to be at a Jane Fonda Dance Party?
I would empty my entire bank account just to watch through a window.
@Paul - Absolutely. I know I'm too thin to be considered the example of an average thin person, but that is certainly not thin.
What was Alex Pettyfer thinking? He managed to come across WORSE than before with that stream of Channing Tatum anecdotes and hopelessly false conclusions. Yikes!
P.S. Amy Schumer has nice calves.
That photo of Blanchett, Haynes, and Mara had to be taken the day i saw Carol at NYFF. That was the exact wardrobe that each of them wore.
What is up with Rolling Stone ignoring Janet Jackson this year? She's gotten her best reviews since 2001, if not earlier, it debuted at No. 1 which put her in the record books and RS hasn't even reviewed the album and now it doesn't even make it's top 50? So weird.
DJDeeJay-
Wow,I wasn't even aware Janet Jackson had new music out. And a tour too!
It's so awful the treatment these talented iconic women get when they're no longer 25 years old.
DAVID - yep, it's great (saying this as a fan in general but not a fan of her last 2-3 albums), it's gotten great reviews, debuted at number one with little promotion (one music video and no media interviews) and the tour is supposed to be great. I couldn't go when it came to my city but a co-worker said it was one of the best he's ever seen.
I just don't get this Batman vs. Superman deal. Batman doesn't have any superpowers! Is he going to use a machine gun?
DJDeeJay - TOTALLY with you on Janet's new album. It is great, better and far more cohesive than Madonna's. It's her most mature album in a long time, in a way that doesn't require a Parental Advisory sticker, and it's great to hear. I can't believe she's STILL being punished for that stupid SuperBowl mishap (that HAS to be what this is, right? Nothing else makes sense!).
Denny - I don't know. RS reviewed her other albums post-Super Bowl so it doesn't make sense. But I do think we'd be hearing a lot more about it if Janet herself wanted to promote it more: more videos (so many worthy choices), more interviews, more media performances, etc. Essentially she released one video to get the word out and that's all she needs to sell tickets for her tour, which is where the real money is for artists. I just wonder if shows like Ellen, Good Morning America, Today, SNL, Jimmy Fallon, etc. have reached out to her to get her to perform.
But she's nearing 50 and probably doesn't want to a damn thing she doesn't have to, especially if the media is still resistant to her.
Nat, that is a very Cotillardy photo of Natalie Wood you just added to the banner. (Or vice versa?)
Actually Janet's album WAS reviewed in RS. They gave it 3.5 stars. And I agree that it's a real comeback in terms of quality for her. "Discipline" and "20YO" were terrible. I personally prefer Madonna's Rebel Heart, but they are both terrific records.
This was a GREAT year for music. Besides Madonna and Janet I loved:
Sufjan Stevens (my favorite of the year, hands-down)
Joanna Newsom
Beach House (Depression Cherry, not the other one)
Ryan Adams
Grimes
Miguel
Shamir
Joe - Huh. Interesting. It's not on RS' website and it's not compiled in the list of reviews on metacritic. That's weird. Thanks for letting me know. As someone who prefers Janet's album over Madonna's, it's frustrating that RS gave them the same star rating but only included Madonna's in their year-end list (I'm sure lots of albums get 3.5 stars that don't make it on the list, but still).
And yes, Sufjan's album is fantastic but it's so depressing I can't really listen to it but i want to because it's also so beautiful.
DJDeeJay--I wanted to make sure I wasn't hallucinating when I told you it was reviewed! I ended up checking a few issues I had lying around. It was reviewed in the issue that had The Weeknd on the cover. It was reviewed along with several other big pop releases.
RS's default seems to be 3.5 star reviews. They give TONS of albums that rating.
Re: Sufjan--it's not exactly everyday listening lol. But to me it's the most beautiful and moving album I've heard in a while. He also pulls off a neat trick--it's an emotionally heavy record but it doesn't necessarily SOUND like one. For such an intense record I've actually listened to it a lot. That's totally different from, say, the last Bjork album, which is also intense but I NEVER want to listen to it.
Joe - Ugh, so frustrating that they won't put it on their website.
Yes, Sufjan's is definitely beautiful and moving. In fact, it's so good at both of those that I basically can't handle it, but I totally understand why you love it.
