The Last Movie You Saw?

I saw BABYGIRL. It was entertaining and Nicole really was terrific.

man: when you're scared all the time, you reach a point you wish you were dead. haha.
woman: I don't get it.

Yeah, some people really hate his voice, but even THAT is fascinating. Even his singing voice is crazy to analyze! It hasn't/isn't always his mid-1960s affectation, which is what people HATE. Alternatively my father loved the Nashville Skyline album where he sang in a... different... voice and I hated it!! I really like his early 1960s folk recordings where he's trying to imitate Woody Guthrie. I went through a mini Pete Seeger/Woody Guthrie phase earlier this fall and when I was listening to some of the songs I was like "oh... wait... isn't that what Dylan was referencing on X album?!?! OOOOH, I GET IT NOW." Anyway, I feel like all we need to know is there... hiding in plain sight, but we don't even KNOW. I like buying into Dylan's self-made mythology. I'll accept it.

I looove Nashville Skyline 😌

I never understood the obsession with voices!.. I'll take supreme lyricism and a mediocre/disastrous voice any day, over a flawless voice and the dumbest lyrics. I'll also take disastrous lyrics and a disastrous voice (some of the rappers I listen to? 😅), anything but the 'hmm yeah baby just like that woohoo' lyrics packaged with a mezzo-soprano vocal range, like ok so you have all of that, and that's what you sing..?. I remember my uncles (Dylan's generation) asking me if I was aware that the man can't sing lol.. it's probably funny seeing a teenager discovering something 40 years later, with no context, but I was coming out of my Deftones phase!, my tolerance for vocal cords being destroyed in real time is limitless. And that's how I also love Together Through Life. I don't feel like I'm quite at an age where I can fully appreciate it and even less so as a student when it came out, but it just makes the start of your 70s sound so calm and like finally the crazy marathon has come to an end and your body is severely damaged but you're also proud that it's made it till that point. There's no way Forgetful Heart would make you imagine life in that stage so vividly and kind of even make you look forward to it, if you didn't secretly worry about whether the voice will get worse by the end of the song haha

Just saw the Bob Dylan movie and I really liked it! I thought Tim did a great job and he had me smiling/giggling the whole time. My dad who was absolutely obsessed with Bob thought it was pretty good too. Also I feel ashamed to say, I could not help but think of H*di for so many of his looks I know I'm sorry.

Yesterday, I had to re-watch The Wizard of Oz after seeing Wicked. Today I watched The Lion in Winter. These two movies made me wonder if my attention span is the problem when watching new movies, or if the pacing of older movies was simply better.

At the same time though, I grew up with heavy metal day and night (which always annoyed me- I thought I'd grow up and grow into it and.. nope, my ears are still recovering from my mom's Iron Maiden xmas extravaganza last night)

So amazing that your mum’s a headbanger! …Is that where your destain for the legacy mullet originated from…??? Always liked hanging out with the metalheads in high school LOL Then an ex got me into Judas Priest/Black Sabbath/Iron Maiden, but since I was always familiar with metal and always adored Defttones, classic metal wasn’t hard to fall for. But no one could ever get me into folk, especially grassroots folk. And Bob Dylan and his dying crow voice, along with Neil Young, are people I could never find interesting: Absolutely no shame in standing by this. I’ll take Paul Weller and The Jam/Style Council for my protest music anytime, anyday, anywhere.

^ to be honest, at one point, following my 'discovery' of folk, I became HUGE on folk from the 1920s.. probably just to antagonise my mom. Never forget when she said (during a fight) 'when did I give birth to an old lady?!'

But, a couple months ago, she took me to see Iron Maiden and I saw so many people around my age with their parents (around my parent's age- fyi my parents met at some Iron Maiden listening party thing 😂) and I could not believe they.. kind of looked a lot like me haha. A bit conservative and unimpressed but also unaffected by mom/dad acting unhinged in the crowd, like 'ah the youth of the 80s.....'.
