Bazza Posted March 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Minions Can’t Die. Here’s a Trailer for The Rise of Gruhttps://www.msn.com/en-au/news/techandscience/minions-cant-die-heres-a-trailer-for-the-rise-of-gru/ar-BB1gI8bO?li=AAgfYrC “Beyond being a fun but horrifying little aside, the montage where the Minions search for a new, evil leader raised major questions about the creatures and their seeming immortality. They're depicted as existing as far back as "the beginning of time", surviving millions of years before Despicable Me even took place. We then got screenwriter Brian Lynch confirming on Twitter exactly what the movies imply: that minions are immortal, and they cannot die. Largely, this fact is used for comedic purposes, but if we look a bit closer it becomes very grim. If, for example, the Minions were anything other than fun, silly creatures looking to cause mayhem and make gibberish jokes, we would all be crushed under their heel. To be clear: this a race of creature with no physical weaknesses and millions of years' experience preparing for war and committing evil.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted April 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 ‘A Quick One’: How The Who Took a Giant Step Forward Wild experiments and sophisticated songcraft took The Who’s second album to a new level. https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/the-who-a-quick-one-album-feature/?fbclid=IwAR38vrYszUc4ISeED3-8w-nKWM44NOp8SOfx5m--1OgipnOvdor05_raCFM Quote The rest of the album is defined by outrageous experiments and a new level of songwriting sophistication. Case in point: Did heavy metal, prog rock, and rock opera originate with A Quick One? Assigning such distinctions can be a slippery slope, but a damn convincing case can be made. For instance, the Entwistle-written/sung “Boris the Spider” bears an imposing, doomy riff, spooky subject, and on the chorus, even a proto-death metal vocal growl – it prefigures Black Sabbath by a good few years and adds a sense of humor to the bargain. The outsized suite “A Quick One, While He’s Away” prognosticates both the arrival of progressive rock and The Who’s own subsequent run of full-blown rock operas like Tommy and Quadrophenia... According to Mark Blake’s Pretend You’re in a War, Paul McCartney was impressed and told Pete Townshend that the song [A Quick One While He Is Away] was “exactly the sort of thing The Beatles were working towards.” (Six months later, the Fab Four would release Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
