Yacht or Nyacht? "Goodbye Stranger" by Supertramp
Man do I love the instrumental ending. The Yacht or Nyacht website does not even mention Supertramp, not even to say "Nyacht." I'm really starting to doubt the accuracy and integrity of this website and I'm afraid we'll have to resort to our former method of resolving these disputes, fisticuffs and German-style sword dueling.
A commenter linked this 1981 BBC radio broadcast of the Lord of the Rings
You know what I've always wanted to listen to, but never did? The original BBC Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio plays. I understand it's different from the books. Maybe sometime we can start a Group Listen and listen to one part per day.
Update: Nevermind, that listing of shows is incomplete.
Because I've decided I'm now an Honorary Italian, and also because I'm burned out, I'll be taking Monday (Columbus Day) off. Just open threads and animal videos. Friday will also be a little low-effort. Sorry, I need some rest! I've got to get back to Sam and Frodo. This Ring won't bear itself.
Whoops, I linked the wrong Salem's Lot trailer in the thread. I specifically praised it for the song choice, but the trailer I linked had no song. Here's the one I intended to link.
It's a good song to suggest desiccated evil corpses pretending to be alive.
Pitch Meeting: Megalopolis
It's all spoilers, I guess, if this mad mess can even be spoiled. I don't think the story is the main thing here. Not sure what the main thing is. It sounds like something you dream, and you're super-excited about how cool it is, but then you start to write it down and as your mind becomes clearer you say, "Wait a minute, none of this makes any sense! This is just all stupid nonsense-gibberish!"
It sounds like a pipe dream. By which I mean, I think someone beat Coppola with a pipe and he went into a coma and when he woke up he said "Sell my vineyard, I've got a script."
Forgotten 80s Mystery Click
Some time from now you'll bow to pressure
Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees

Yacht or Nyacht? I'd say no. It's an 80s song, a bit out of the Yacht Rock Era, and Yacht or Nyacht doesn't even list it. I think this is what MTV used to call "alternative," which wound up just meaning "neither metal, nor hard rock, nor rap, nor outright dance-pop." (Which actually is kind of Yacht Rock's playing field but I still say no, too much accoustic guitar and no electric piano.)
Douglas Murray on the debate: The fact that the Marxist Media is now down to attacking JD Vance for his beard shows that the Democrat-Media Party is desperate to talk about anything other than the issues and Kamala Harris's Failure to Position Herself for Success
He notes that the media says that Republicans are "out of ideas" or admitting their own failures when they do this. But now (this is my take, not his) the Marxist Media is praising Kamala Harris for her Cagey Strategy of running only on "vibes" and "joy."
He also opines that the only "women" who are put off by men having beards are "women with beards."
Maddow: JD Vance is a "slicker" speaker only because he, who entered politics like four years ago, has more experience speaking in debates than the 12-year-congressman, current governor of Minnesota.
Note that this insane spin -- that a 20-year politician (he deserted his unit in 2004 to run in 2005) has "more experience" debating policy than a neophyte who just joined the game a couple of years ago -- was put out by Walz campaign before the debate, to lower expectations. (Spoiler: He did not lower expectations enough.) And here's the bitter disinformation-pushing conspiracy-queen Rachel Maddow dutifully propagating it.
Asked for comment about the allegations he publicly slapped a woman at Cannes, Doug Emhoff responded, "Kamala was raised in a middle-class household and her mother is nice."
