"What does that have to do with him attending Harry’s show at the Troubadour?" That wasn't even the question you asked. You literally asked "What is there to criticize him about?". You need to learn from the previous mod that this blog isn't about you.

You need to learn from your parents some manners.

As moderator of this blog, I was directing the conversation back to Harry Styles, who is the subject of the blog, not Chrstopher Nolan--and, certainly, not me, despite the fact that you're trying to make it so.

Jack White - Boarding House Reach (2018)

Jack White is to music what Chrstopher Nolan is to film: a daring artist rebelling against the clean veneer of technology to provide a more historically authentic representation of his medium (was that wordy enough for ya, Pitchfork?). For Nolan, it’s his advocacy of 70 mm film. For White, it’s his embrace of old-school recording limitations and non-stop production of vinyl by way of his record label, Third Man Records.

So imagine my shock (alright, now stop imagining and get on with the review) when I learned that White’s third solo project, Boarding House Reach, was edited with pro tools on a computer no less, not in a dusty farmhouse with a wire nailed to a block of plywood. Then again, White is a strange man, and Boarding House Reach is a strange album, exploring yet-uncharted territory in White’s catalogue like funk, hip-hop, electronic music, and political commentary while still embracing the good-ole rock n roll and DIY mentality that made the White Stripes such a hit.

It’s also his least focused album to date. There’s a healthy dose of snoozers on here, kicked off with the corny lead single “Connected By Love” and “Why Walk a Dog?”, a comatose bit of minimalist electronica with 7th grade level political poetry. Being a very experimental album, White hits and misses quite a bit, though when he hits, you get great tracks like “Corporation”, an experimental homage to all things 70s funk, and “Over and Over and Over”. Brimming with electricity and a buzzing guitar riff, it’s about as close as he comes to treading into familiar White Stripes territory. And I just can’t get over that brooding blues breakdown on the second half of “Respect Commander”, or the tribal rallying cry of “Everything You’ve Ever Learned”.

In comparison to his first two solo releases, Boarding House Reach is a step outside White’s comfort zone; a left turn into the absurd that lives by his motto of “what good can come from comfort? It’s not gonna be art.” It’s the kind of album Frank Zappa would love, which means if you can get through the experimental barriers to entry, it’s a lot of fun.

7-8/10

Favorite Tracks: Over and Over and Over, Corporation, Respect Commander, Everything You’ve Ever Learned, Ezmerelda Steals the Show, Hypermisophoniac, Ice Station Zebra, What’s Done is Done

In this segment I’ll be discussing two contemporary films that expand on the theory of alternate dimensions and methods of communication. Interstellar, directed by Chrstopher Nolan, integrated the ideas of wormholes to its audiences. Wormholes have been a topic of popular debate among astronomers, physicists, and casual conversations. Wormholes create a bridge between two distant points bringing them closer together. This isn’t to be confused with a black hole that leads to a dead end. One such debate is whether a wormhole is a gateway to other galaxies and dimensions. Kip Thorne, who is an American theoretical physicist known for his work in astrophysics, worked closely with Nolan to ensure that the accuracy of the film’s space travel, although considered farfetched to many, still stayed within the context of reality. Although one could comment that Interstellars’ science is pseudoscience, technically we know just about as much about space as we do our own oceans, with well over 80% being unmapped. Which is what makes any deep space movie plausible is the fact that the vastness of the universe is still unknown, unexplored, and unpredictable to humans. And anything can exist out there, which is what the movie Arrival touches on. In the film alien lifeforms visit Earth yet are unable to speak a familiar language. This leads to scientists using a combination of written and visual patterns to communicate with the aliens similar to an inkblot rorschach test. Aside from the ongoing alien believers and skeptics, the idea of Arrival as a whole suggests that anything in the universe is possible, even the existence of other lifeforms. Are they capable of speaking our language? Not in this case. However, exploring the different forms of communication between living things, alien or not, is a universal commonality. Interstellar presents its own version of communication using alternate dimensions that can control time and gravity. Those that argue that time does not exist do not take into the different dimensions that exist in space. The mysteries of space will be never-ending and data will always change as space exploration evolves with humans to further help understand the intricate workings of the universe.

Aspect Radio #109: Interstellar, Nightcrawler, Birdman, Future of Pixar

Ben and Corey hop aboard Christopher Nolan's deep space opus "Interstellar" starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain. The guys get into only slight spoiler territory as they break down Nolan's latest and perhaps most ambitious blockbuster and determine whether it lived up to their lofty expectations.

They also discuss writer/director Dan Gilroy's Los Angeles-set comedy/thriller "Nightcrawler," starring a brilliant Jake Gyllenhaal as a morally bankrupt crime journalist looking to conquer a competitive and dangerous industry.

The guys then hit director Alejandro González Iñárritu's grim meta-comedy "Birdman," starring Michael Keaton in a comeback role that may or may even outshine the film and what few consider a style-over-substance technical and immersive experience. Finally, Ben and Corey spend some time on Pixar's recent announcement that we'll get "Toy Story 4," among other sequels that Corey thinks defies the standard in original storytelling the animation studio set years ago.

“The question of 3-D is a very straightforward one, I never meet anybody who actually likes the format, and it’s always a source of great concern to me when you’re charging a higher price for something that nobody seems to really say they have any great love for.... It’s up to the audience to tell us how they want to watch the movies. More people go see these films in 2-D, and so it’s difficult data to interpret. And I certainly don’t want to shoot in a format just to charge people a higher ticket price.”

"Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community. I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime. The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me. Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families."

-Christopher Nolan
