Watching Alexandra leaving actually moved me to tears.
By the way, the setlist the day before was a total decoy—he performed Anthem, Democracy, anyhow, and even played Ain't No Cure for Love, which he skipped during the main show.
Oh, and he played around with Hallelujah—it really should have been I didn't come all the way to Madison Square Garden to fool you
One of the most critically acclaimed films of the past year, Shame, directed by Steve McQueen, is finally making its way to theaters here in America!
It's a heavy drama that picked up two awards at last year's prestigious Venice Film Festival—taking home both the IFJ prize and Best Actor!
Brandon is a New Yorker who avoids intimacy and genuine connections with women, instead spiraling into a compulsive sex addiction. The only person who can truly get close to him is his sister, Sissy. While Brandon manages to maintain a facade of being an ordinary guy in public, Sissy gave up on that charade long ago. Broke and impulsive, she crashes at Brandon's place on the brink of self-destruction. It's a grim look at how brother and sister pull the absolute worst out of one another.
Starring: Michael Fassbender & Carey Mulligan
...I can't believe this film doesn't have its own thread yet, forcing me to start one...
Thoughts, please? I'm planning to catch it this weekend...
Jonathan Smith12 said:What an absolute mountain of nonsense. I have to ask, when people start throwing around terms like "public sector bloat," who exactly are they targeting? Are we supposed to count our nurses and doctors, our teachers, daycare workers, soldiers on peacekeeping missions, police officers, street sweepers, or even firefighters under that umbrella? And as for the whole "expert" debate—let’s be realistic here. No truly talented professional with a university degree, even with a decent salary scale or a coefficient of 1.1 and a base pay of 4$67, is going to stick around in government service. It’s just not happening. Any halfway decent private firm out there can easily offer them at least fifty percent more than what the state provides.
I suspect public sector wages actually outpace the private market on average, regardless of how much schooling someone has undergone.

The primary songwriter is still at the helm, and AIC feels like three-quarters of the original lineup. What do you mean, "B-list lineup"? This isn't some minor league hockey team.
And you read all that on the Coachella website...😁
I haven't listened to them in ages, but nowadays...
actually, they are quite perfect for this festival...😁
If anyone is still desperate to score tickets for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, keep an eye on the morning news this Wednesday, May 19th.
