  1. In my opinion, paying for an album means you have paid the artist to do to the music as you see fit in the end, particularly in the context of 1977. Nobody was doing what Flash did before he did it. DJs bought one copy of a record, played it to the "end" and then played another record after that, and so on. Looking back from 2016, no one ever expected it was going to be an international art form and that millions of other DJs, musicians and other music producers were going to start to follow the (music concrete) form and start making millions.
  2. Because if people got the tape, then they would not pay to see Flash spin, and he would not make money. I would also imagine individuals with the tape might further learn how Flash did what he did. Back then, it was not largely known how he was able to knit the breaks or "get down" in the manner that he did.
  3. I think this season on at least two occasions it's not really that clear what lead to prison for a given inmate, particularly Blanca. You don't go to jail for having sex in front of an old lady yet. Did she really kill her husband as she said?
  4. I was surprised to see that Bill was no longer on the show, likely because I watched an episode previous to the one that premiered Josh. I don't think I'm going to be a Josh fan. Bill would have driven me crazy with his drawl/accent. Josh would have sent me directly to the asylum with his Kiwi accent and his (mixed metaphor, yes) non-stop Crocodile Dundee banter.
  5. That makes sense. I had run it back to get the context for what she was saying, but without subtitles I couldn't really zero in on it. Thanks.
  6. So his real name is "Gary"? The actress who played "Siobahn" says that's the name that Antony Starr whispered in her ear, and then at the end as"Hood" is walking away from Carrie, it sounds like she says, "It's Gary." Being as she's using an alias as well, I may have misheard and she said, "It's Carrie."
  7. Every time he appears on screen, for a few seconds I think he is Ward/Brett Dalton and get confused. I also had the same problem with the actor who played "Will" on the Hydra planet. My thinking from the episode, in particular the discussion with Dr. Whitehall, he describes it as a "faith". You don't send a heathen/non-believer on a quest/pilgrimage/sacrifice. I spar regularly with several individuals who feel no need to wear a cup in a martial art that emphasizes kicking. Go to a barbershop often enough, you're going to eventually get a haircut...
  8. I was really hoping for a Daredevil/Madame Gao re-match the way she knocked him back last season.
  9. I said Dottie was going to take the stick away from Jack and beat him with it, take the carrot and stick it up his behind.He didn't scare me.
  10. Yeh, they needed to find a Asian fella who was going to be game somewhat. The fella they had DID NOT want Hollie anywhere near him. Never seen such reluctant body language at all. At the end credits she was hugging him and he had both his hands in his pockets. What was up with that? Dude has issues...
  11. That was the prettiest Indian man if not one of the prettiest men I've ever seen. I mean, I've seen some pretty dudes in my day. And "Bussa-Buss" (Busta Rhymes/"Athlete Business Partner"?) must be doing well with his new rechargeable battery investments, because he's looking mighty swole. Food is really agreeing with him.
  12. The whole scene between them I'm thinking to my self, "Man Coulson, you are talking yourself out of some sex there."
  13. Especially with bomb-ass, model women like Kendra Saunders. I love her teeth.
  14. Oh noes! Barry's getting his arse beat again!
  15. Powers Boothe played Jim Jones back in 1980. 35 years ago? Myself and everybody I know STILL refers to him as Jim Jones.
  16. I thought I was somebody... I used to be somebody... I am now no one I guess. I was totally surprised that Blair Underwood/Andrew was "Lash". HOLY COW!
  17. Lennie James is English remember? Even though I haven't been there, I don't think it gets as warm there as it does in GA where I had lived for 10years. I'm thinking he may have been exaggerating. That said, I can recall Mark E. Smith, singer for the band The Fall looking miserable as frak one 90-something degree evening before a show at the Masquerade. I don't think Manchester prepared him for that level of heat...
  18. My head just exploded all over the place with that one...
  19. I wasn't aware of how much recovery Tracy had made. When I first heard he was going to host, my first thought was of the Franken and Davis routine “The Brain Tumor Comedian,” in which Mr. Franken, his head bandaged, tried to tell jokes but kept forgetting the punch line. Mr. Davis fought tears as he implored the audience to applaud. The punch line "He only took tips" was on my mind a lot.
  20. I'm sure there must be, and the former Mayor of NYC Rudy Giuliani ought to be there. His face is rather punchable and boy did I want to after listening to his badge licking statements and his look of <SHOCK!>, how he wanted to clutch his pearls and that he'd never heard that Black parents have to school their children on a harsher set of rules dealing with police. My aul' man refers to him actually as a scumbag, but douchebag/scumbag, both fit when it comes to Rudy.
  21. Photoshop wizard, make it so. The whole episode I was chanting "Carol! Carol! Carol!"
  22. "I'm free..." All jokes aside, things like getting Kelly made up, his visible disappointment at getting dissed thoroughly by The Master making me feel sympathy for him, and even his not quite genial but formal manner almost make me forget he's a Nazi with "expertise in the imprisonment and extermination of large groups of humans", a vampire and stone cold killer. Kudos to Richard Sammel for making this character one of the more finely layered ones on the show.
  23. Okeh, hold up... In their scenes together you can TELL they are roughly the same age! I'm not going to say necessarily that it's taking me out of the story, it's more making me laugh at how ridiculous it is. Nobody in casting or production thought it kind of preposterous and difficult to explain? In the storyline how old are these characters supposed to be? For instance, is Ahmed the same age as Sammy* whom I assume is maybe a HS senior? *Actor Noah Silver is 20.
  24. Okeh, maybe it has been discussed previously (see what I did there?) and I just missed it, but is Leila Ahmed's birth mother or his step-mother, because they look like they are the same age roughly with Leila maybe being 3 or 4 years older. According to IMDB, Moran Atias (Leila) was born April 9, 1981, she's 34. The IMDB entry for Cameron Gharaee (Ahmed) doesn't have a birth date, but he was accepted to Mississippi College around 2005 according to the Clarion Ledger (http://www.clarionledger.com/story/life/2015/07/06/brandon-native-stars-fxs-tyrant/29777359/) and left at age 19, so he's around 29-30 now. What's the deal with that?
