Eminem Revival review

So..just a brief intro since I think it is relevant...Eminem was my favorite artist, period. I had a pretty traumatic life, a lot of isolation and abuse, and Em's music was the only thing I felt I could relate to when I was a teen in the late 90's/early 2000s, I was blown away by the genius of it all.

I had tickets to go see the Anger Management tour in 2005 at a castle in Dublin before he cancelled it.

I think SSLP, MMLP are classics. Eminem show was good but a step down. Encore was great until he pettily replaced half the tracks last minute. After that though...relapse and recovery are utter, forgettable shit to me(fack? really?). MMLP2 was a really nice surprise! I don't think it held up quite as well, and Bad Guy while interesting is no stan.

Then this album came and well...I just feel it is forgettable as well. Em isn't great at being political, and while I appreciate the effort, I think it falls short. The songs with guest stars are almost all forgettable, especially the ones with Pink and Beyonce. Untouchable is interesting but isn't really impressive in any way. For a storyteller as great as Em, it feels like a missed opportunity. I'm still giving it a few listens, and there are still a lot of songs I like...but I would probably rate this album a little below Encore.

Twin Peaks Season 4

Writer/director  David Lynch  has now casually dropped a hint he’s not done with the world of  Twin Peaks . Specifically, he says one particular character’s arc is “calling” to him, suggesting he has some ideas stirring for a follow-up to 2017’s hit revival season. As reported by  Twitter user Scott Meisner , Lynch was asked at a recent Q&A session if he has more stories to tell surrounding Carrie Page, Laura Palmer’s doppelgänger, who was introduced in the third season. “It is calling, but there are a lot of disturbances,” Lynch reportedly responded, in a typically cryptic fashion for the creator. Even if Lynch is serious about tackling more  Twin Peaks  himself, it’ll likely take a number of years before a fourth season actually hits the airwaves — the third season took five years to develop and shoot its 18 episodes, after all.

DEADPOOL 2 Poster - Creation of Adam Parody

Ryan Reynolds tweeted a new promotional poster for “DEADPOOL 2” early yesterday morning, depicting Deadpool and Cable in the place of man and god in a parody of the famous “Creation of Adam” painting. Promotion for “DEADPOOL 2” has certainly been taking on a theme, as most of what we have seen so far has been references to classical art (the Thanksgiving poster) and painting in general (the hilarious Bob Ross parody). Ryan Reynolds even had a recent announcement for Deadpool tattoos at a Brazilian comic convention. Does this art theme have any hint toward what the new “DEADPOOL 2” movie is all about? Perhaps I’m missing something and I really need to catch up on some Deadpool comics. If you look on the bottom right of the poster, we see the words “The Second Coming”. This has to have some kind of double meaning referring to something in the movie that hasn’t been revealed yet. I’m pretty excited to see Cable, played by Josh Brolin, in Deadpool. They had plenty of opportuniti...
