@flea333 I just listened to your Apple Music radio hour and thank you! It’s wonderful. You exposed me to new and amazing music, including your new jazz work. I’m inspired!

@ATRightMovies @BacktotheFuture Jeff Goldblum is the only acceptable alternative

Before deciding on Christopher Lloyd, Robert Zemeckis had a long list of potentials for the character of Doc Brown in BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985).

@funkatopia The Word, Beautiful Loved and Blessed, and Love

NAME THAT FAVORITE TRACK! 20 Years ago today, Prince released 3121. The album was his 31st and he released it on this day to coincide with the album name stylized as 3/21. It also aligned with one of the locations where parts of the album were recorded at 3121 Antelo Road in Los Angeles, CA. The album entered The Billboard 200 at number 1 which gave Prince his first number 1 album on that chart since 1989’s Batman. 3121 (4:31) Lolita (4:06) Te Amo Corazón (3:36) Black Sweat (3:11) Incense And Candles (4:05) Love (5:46) Satisfied (2:50) Fury (4:02) The Word (4:12) Beautiful, Loved And Blessed (5:44) The Dance (5:21) Get On The Boat (6:19)

@newtgingrich Just go away

Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations and you’ve got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks. chinatalk.media/p/its-time

@Super70sSports That’s a rock solid list—but don’t sleep on “Possesion Obsession” with Oats singing lead.

My 10 favorite Hall and Oates songs: 1. Say It Isn't So 2. I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) 3. Kiss on My List 4. Private Eyes 5. Maneater 6. You Make My Dreams (Come True) 7. Rich Girl 8. Sara Smile 9. Out of Touch 10. One on One

@empiremagazine @PhilSzostak @StarWarsUK @starwars I never understood the whole “can’t ever remove the mask” thing. It makes no practical sense. Talk about claustrophobic. He can’t wash his face, or eat? Dumb concept.

EXCLUSIVE Pedro Pascal says Din Djarin removing his helmet in The Mandalorian And Grogu “made total sense”. “I said, ‘Jon, that’s exactly what I was hoping to hear!’,” Pascal tells Empire, of when Jon Favreau explained the scene to him. READ MORE: empireonline.com/movies/news/ma…

@Baron3121 You would think they would have announced it by now, but the year isn’t over yet.

@funkatopia @prince I did the same thing but with U2’s song Bass Trap. It’s so much better played slower that I assumed it was intentional. Can’t say the same about Alexa.

So the story goes. @Prince's Mountain 12" single came out featuring the B-Side of Alexa de Paris. Since it was a 12" vinyl, I erroneously played Alexa de Paris at 33-1/3 rpm for months before I was corrected. To this day, I almost believe that he did this intentionally.

@OliverJia1014 I agree. Even the adjusted dialogue felt like a clumsily written sentence. “Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival.”

One of those George Lucas Star Wars changes I’m not a fan of. In the original version of Empire Strikes Back, Vader tells his troops “Bring my shuttle.” You can feel his anger after Luke rejected him. There was no need for Lucas to add anything else. Less is more here.

@brentfischer_ Brent, do you think the Prince estate will / can ever release the music your dad created for Prince? Like as bonus material for Cherry Moon?

My former employer

@FJDesanto You are 💯 correct, FJ.

For those "fans" who are confused: expectations were to see a trailer for a movie people are interested in and want to know more about. Instead they got a parody clip which would be fine as a social media play on instagram or Tiktok not a $10 million dollar global tv spot.

@StarWarsNewsNet I thought it was a beer commercial. 🙄

Sam Elliott's narration in 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' #SuperBowl spot: “Sometimes we choose our path. Other times the path chooses us. Through it all, we keep pushing forward, driven by a deeper purpose, guided by an unseen Force. The journey never gets any easier. The bond just gets harder to break. This is the way.”

@ThomasDolby Both 10.

On a scale of 1-10, how much do we like Billy Idol's 'White Wedding' and 'Rebel Yell?'

@SenatorDurbin What’s being done?

This is incredibly concerning. The President and a weaponized Justice Department keep pushing the Big Lie. He lost the 2020 election—clearly. Relitigating his loss threatens public trust in elections and endangers local election staff.

@funkatopia @Baron3121 Who is this artist?

When Prince calls and Morris sends the money... This artist shares the story of when they played at Paisley Park and the anxiety of potentially having Prince destroy their guitar on stage. #Prince #PaisleyPark #MusicHistory

@CinemaTweets1 Except for that scene, it’s a pretty dull film with unlikeable characters.

William Friedkin’s Sorcerer is a life-changing film. I’m not suggesting this movie will flip your world view upside down. I’m not that dramatic. I am, however, suggesting that films of this power, of this quality, change something small deep inside us. That’s cinema’s true power.

@ThomasDolby Great track. Loved it then, and now.

The Human League's 1986 hit single 'I'm Only Human' seems to be a bit like Marmite--you either love it or hate it. Where do YOU stand?

John’s tribute to Bobby was so profoundly moving, poetic and eloquent. I’m so proud of him for getting through it. He’s so strong. I love him so much. Bobby will forever be perched on his shoulder and in his dreams❤️

Today as the Dead faithful celebrated the life of Bob Weir, John Mayer delivered perhaps the only “Ripple” that’s ever made me smile-cry… Highly suggest.😔

@TheRochaSays @KristianHarloff @DrewTailored Andor was humorless. The characters were all dour and serious, especially Andor himself. The original trilogy was a balance of seriousness, humor, and spirituality. That’s what made them great.

Yep. @KristianHarloff first clued me in to Filoni's POV on Andor and it's just as disappointing reading it in @DrewTailored 's article. If Filoni is going to succeed, turning your back on the style and approach of one of the greatest pieces of #StarWars ever is not the answer.
