Things You Just Don't Care About

Currently done with Tony Bennett. Duets, tributes, documentaries, visual-art dabbling, filmic cameos. No more, please; thanks, I'm all set.

Yo, Tony, baby: sorry you were not as popular as certain other singers (who shall not be named) back in the day. Glad you lived. Glad you have kept working. No, that does not mean you are entitled to dominate the conversation about popular song forevermore. You can keep doing your thing but I personally have heard enough from you to last for quite a while, thanks.

Why have I never seen that film?

2000's era Patti Smith : love 70s Patti but contemporary Patti Smith is this boring old hippie who seemingly really wants to be up there in the Poet's Pantheon. Kinda gross.

Drake

'the status quo'

pssst PS was always a boring hippie

i only know the patti smiths basics, but i was watching a thing on mapplethorpe the other day and she seemed pretty badass when they first met in the 60s

People Got the Power is her We Built This City

Does anyone know if she listened to Humble Pie back in the day?

I'll ask next time I run into her in the elevator.

i like people got the power. and pissing in the river. and the springsteen song. that's about it. i like the MC5. and Mapplethorpe.

why oh why hasn't bernie had people got the power as his campaign anthem???

p sure i heard her do it at a Nader rally in MSG in 2000, so...

I'm still sad no one has tried to call him the Sandman

Enter Sandman, come on, guys

i didn't care that ralph nader ruined the world or whatever. in keeping with the theme of this thread. dude can run for president if he wants fuck you crybabies.

^^ real talk

texting in movie theaters

I've heard like from 5 different sources that AMC is allowing this

1) who gives a shit
2) weren't people already texting in movie theaters?

No she wasn't, Morbs.

Some more:

Game Of Thrones
Anything Tim Burton
Brunch

I feel like I dwell upon this point irl a little too much, yet at the same time it can't be overstated. I went out for drinks with a few of my students on Tuesday after their final exam, and all they wanted to talk about was Deadpool, Batman vs. Superman, Captain America vs. Iron Man...

1) who gives a shit

texting or talking or whispering or eating in a distracting way in movie theater: capital crimes

i would happily serve as executioner

The best pizza/bagel/hamburger in NYC

dr morbius otm, adults who can't sit still drive me crazy

i will add to this thread

- trends in dating/coupling/etc

we were watching a movie at HOME last night and it was bugging me that maria was checking her phone.

This will be unpopular but popcorn should only be allowed in certain movies, the RIAA can figure it out.

Srsly you are a couple in your fifties at a holocaust movie, can you seriously not go ninety minutes without a snack? Take it outside.

texting or talking or whispering or eating in a distracting way in movie theater: capital crimes

cosign. You should need a license, it would be very simple, just demonstrate an ability to shut the fuck up for two hours

"But it's just the trailers!"

No, shut up.

does a morbz hate this too? i don't go see old movies in the theaters so i didn't know this was a thing:

My group was definitely guilty of laughing at scenes in Night of the Hunter but it's so over the top I think it's allowed

Doesn't count as an old movie, but I think I annoyed people by giggling at Barry Lyndon

that's actually a picture of you, james. not caring.

what does bejohncie have for brekkies?

scott, the resemblance is uncanny

bey, a drop of golden sun

what a great comedian Obama is

Representative democracy is showbiz, it's not like their policies matter

I do care to a certain degree about who wins the US primaries (insofar as US politics does have an impact in the UK + worldwide), but FFS how long do they go on for? This isn't even the actual election!

this primary season has admittedly been the worst one i can ever remember in terms of length and substance and the overall dislikable nature of pretty much all the candidates.

like every u.s. presidential election season in my lifetime, this is the most boringly protracted one ever.

As painful as this election cycle looks, it pales before 2000's. That one had a coda.

2000 was... such a drudge

I remember how 1988 at time was deemed one of the worst ever. Then 2000 dwarfed it. Now we've got what we've got in 2016 and a split Supreme Court -- I can almost see why doing anything by popular vote inevitably leads to disaster now.

But ya know, I really have come around to making these things Things I Just Don't Care About. It's a bit forced, but it gets me out of bed in the mornings.
