Vintage Whisky, 2017

If I have a stand-out favourite in this bunch, it’s my profile of Georgia O’Keeffe at the AGO.

But do stay for the noodles.

Music:

• Brand new reasons to feel guilty for listening to Rock ‘n’ Roll!
• Plus one more: remembering Chuck Berry.
• How far has The Boss traveled from Madame Marie’s Psychic Booth?
• Whither the “Guitar God”? With endnote.
• RIP, Walter Becker.
• RIP, Tom Petty.

Movies:

• Alien Covenant — Scott breaks the ending!
• The nostalgic gaze, and Jonathan Demme’s Something Wild.
• How Justified actually improved on its source material by Elmore Leonard.
• Blade Runner: 2049 — in two takes.
• Thor: Ragnarok — starring Cate Blanchett’s shoulders!
• Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Miscellaneous:

• The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Car.
• Georgia O’Keeffe at the AGO.
• TV Dinner alternatives, one and two.

Religion:

• Philip K. Dick’s level of empathy could be . . . extreme.
• Vigils ‘n’ Sigils: What IS The What?
• Palm Sunday, EXPLAINED!
• Religious Identity Politics, Narrative Appeal — and Tarot Envy.
• Ernst Bloch, René Girard — strange, but not unexpected, bedfellows.

As ever, if you'd like something included that I have somehow overlooked, lemme know, woncha?
