OT: Thread About Nothing (part # who cares)

[JimEIV]

Have you ever thought of raising your own? Pick up some seed packets and plant a garden and with some care before you know it you have cows sprouting in the back 40.

That's how you get Beyond Meat.

I liked him as Batman, but thought that movie was cringe.

Through no fault of his own. It wasn’t awful.

He took heat for that because he replaced Michael Keaton, who I forget why he didn’t come back. May have been a money dispute. I think fans were mad that Michael Keaton didn’t play Batman and it was Val Kilmer instead.

But I liked him as Batman.

That was movie was cringy, but not terrible. Watched it about 4 years ago for the first time probably since it was new.

Did a Google and Google AI gave this explanation (pardon the yellow highlight as I have :


Michael Keaton was replaced by Val Kilmer in the Batman franchise, specifically for the film "Batman Forever," primarily due to a disagreement with director Joel Schumacher over the characterization of Bruce Wayne/Batman and a shift in the franchise's direction.


Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Tim Burton's Departure:
  Keaton was originally cast for the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in the 1989 film "Batman" because Tim Burton was chosen to direct.
  

• Schumacher Takes Over:
  After the success of "Batman Returns" (1992), Burton stepped away from the franchise, and Joel Schumacher took over directing duties for "Batman Forever" (1995).
  
  
• Differing Visions:
  Keaton reportedly had a different vision for the character of Bruce Wayne/Batman than Schumacher, leading to a creative disagreement.
  
  
• Keaton's Departure:
  Keaton decided to leave the franchise before "Batman Forever" was filmed, citing the difference in vision with Schumacher.
  
  
• Kilmer Takes the Role:
  Val Kilmer was then cast as the new Batman/Bruce Wayne for "Batman Forever"

@Richer's Ghost about that beato youtube on the complex pop song


while driving around on wednesday my friend/bandmate/employer and i talked about complex radio songs when rush freewill came on and he made a joke while attempting to count it "f*** you guys, what hell is this time signature you're playing in". we looked it up and it's was nuts.. from wikipedia:

...yesterday thin lizzy boys are back came on and i mentioned something about the chord progression in that one and ended up talking about coltrane's giant steps.....a lot of my work day involves shit like this when we're driving around to various places.

I forgot the Goo Goo Dolls were actually a legitimate punk band in the 80s



Sounds like the Lawrence Arms meets the Replacements

You could hear the backing vocals that eventually would persist as they changed their sound. Thanks for sharing that. Interesting footnote.

I was driving down the road and I saw a sign for an Iron Maiden cover band show in Dunellen NJ ...

I said to my wife "hey look at that"

She goes "at least they didn't put puppet show first this time"


Precisely why I am still married.

Hi Ho Silver Lining was a song identified with Jeff Beck. Curious what the giant crab stuff had to do with it.

A quick check suggests R&R Tackling cigars is the likeliest bet for Cubans.
