| | rantnrave:// I'm a big believer in the middle. Everyone says the middle of the film business is over. It's not. As studios go with bigger and fewer, other platforms and indie filmmakers will pick up the middle and steal it. Quality and efficiently produced films hyper-targeted and distributed to audiences... POKÉMON GO? Popular culture is passing me by. I was just about to get started on flash mobs... SOHO HOUSE is so hip. I think I just saw a Hasidic male model with skinny jeans on a hoverboard... In order to be relevant or get back in the game would you shake hands with and appease the devil? Don't kid yourself. Even a sane number 2 cannot tame a megalomaniac. Sometimes, it really is about the least worst... SPOTIFY's DISCOVER WEEKLY playlist makes me feel old. It's very accurate when I'm listening to older music but I'd like to see a version that shows me new music releases based off of what I'm listening to. Not just retro stuff. If I listen to "THE WORKING HOUR" by TEARS FOR FEARS what are the new songs that are similar? Or if people also listened to it, what are they listening to that's new? Get it?... Happy Birthday to DANY LEVY, GREG BETTINELLI, DAVID BEILINSON, TONYA DEGANCE and CINDY CHARLES. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
