I'm half black, half white, and look "ethnically ambiguous" - people assume I'm Muslim, Native American, Middle Eastern, Hawaiian, or whatever other ethnicity/religious group is the "flavor of the day," as I like to call it -- that is, when they're not asking me "what ARE you?" or the even more coded "where are you FROM?" Anyway, I'm telling you this because I guess that makes me Steve Bannon's worst nightmare, amirite?
Some of y'all motherfuckers really take this ratings shit way too seriously. Rating an album or a film is ultimately an arbitrary, meaningless figure, subject to change for any rhyme or reason. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that most artists don't release their art with the intent of having it be assigned a strictly delineated numerical value. What it all boils down to is the fact that we are all just a collective group of dorks with our own unique opinions. If someone legitimately thinks that Titanic is a five star movie and Citizen Kane is worth a half star, at the end of the day, who really gives a shit? Play on, playas, and march to the beat of your own fucking drum. Life is too goddamn short to do otherwise.
I like tennis a lot and I write about that too sometimes (see link above).

i meant to respond to your comment like 2 months ago, sorry for that. happy belated birthday though ;) i recall you saying it was around late nov or early dec. but, yeah... this past week or two has been unreal. i vacillate between being outraged/sad and being just totally numb to it all. it's a nightmare coming true in just about every way and it's pretty awful. hopefully there will be real opposition that can temper it, soon, before it is too late. if you haven't, i'd recommend you read this piece. extraordinarily insightful and dead-on and important. it's long but worth it.
hope you're doing well, man. i'm glad you;re still around here kicking. by the way, my name is david. not sure if i said that before. i recently got the new-ish criterion blu-rays of both short cuts and mccabe & mrs miller. both looks really really really good. the latter is a revelation especially, it seems like it finally got the transfer that most accurately captures how it looked in theatres (even though it kind of varied from print to print, so wild was the filming method, what vilmos zsigmond called "flashing" and also used on the long goodbye).
i also like your philosophy w.r.t. music/movie taste! but i love a lot of your 5-stars, so it's a moot point here.
i'm a big federer fan, so we're bitter rivals. ;) only kidding, i respect and like rafa quite a lot and think their rivalry is the greatest ever. it's wild to think that they've each won a GS and two masters going into wimbledon... cannot believe how they've both returned to form exactly when it should have been murray's time to shine. on the one hand, i feel bad for andy, but on the other, i fucking love seeing federer/nadal back at it. i feel you on rafa's wary chances on grass, but i think if he makes it to the quarters, he'll get to the finals. his will is just too strong in those big-match situations (and by that point his confidence would be quite high). i'm hoping for a fourth fed-nadal wimbledon classic. but we shall see...
