Better yet, tell me about three LOCAL acts in your community: Ray Flanagan, the hottest shit going on in Cleveland. A genre unto himself Cowboy Princess Brigade, Cleveland's new country-ska band Moon Echo Garden, woman-fronted psychedelic pop-rock You can see them all for free or for five bucks.

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

What horseshit. She embraced gay people at the height of the AIDS crisis, embraced trans people at the height of the war against them, supported Black communities and artists, and wrote the most pro-worker's rights feminist pop song of all time. Neutral my ass

I was sexually abused as a child. A few years later, I saw ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and absolutely fell in love with it. These things are not unrelated. The movie showed me it was okay to feel weird and horny and weirdly horny and hornily weird. Thank you, Tim Curry, and RIP.

Hi. I published another EP. There is a song about Pete Alonso on there. There's also a song about having a one-night stand as the world ends. That one is based on a true story. Please listen and purchase. noahgittell.bandcamp.com/album/vol-2

You know what blows my mind? My parents' generation was the first to care about feelings. Before, like, the 1960s, nobody really cared what their father, mother, wife, husband, sister, brother, friend, or CHILD was feeling.

It's crazy how many health problems could be solved by just eating a mostly plant-based diet. I'm not talking strict vegan. I'm talking about ditching red and processed meats, and eating poultry/fish at one meal a day. Something like that.

These craven scumbags blithely lied in order to get the day of headlines the mad king wanted. They knew they had nothing, but all that matters to them is whatever six-hour news cycle they're in the middle of.

Devastated by the Glen Hansard news. He was an important person to me creatively. He was also important to my marriage. One of the first dates my ex-wife and I went on was to see "Once" in a multiplex in Dubuque, Iowa. It's not really a "multiplex in Dubuque, Iowa" kinda movie, and in fact...

Sometimes I think about who is "the one who got away" for each Seinfeld character: For Jerry, it's obviously Sidra, who was not only beautiful and had "spectacular" breasts, but was also genuinely funny. Her line, "He would have made a great Nazi" still slays. They could have been happy together.

I have released a new EP of original music. It's pretty good. Song titles include "Sleeping My Life Away," "Highway Drug," "Sunny and Gray," and "Gracie Cleveland." It's available for only $5. You can also stream it for free, but also five dollars is not a lot noahgittell.bandcamp.com/album/vol-1

Democrats always have a tougher challenge than Republicans because they have to make people feel safe while asking them to keep their hearts open. Republicans, especially these days, tell people it's okay to keep them closed.

Film criticism is no longer written for the average moviegoer because the average moviegoer in this country is a mouth-breathing moron who thinks anyone who can put together a decent sentence is an elitist snob.

Finally caught up with THE DRAMA. I give it credit for its original premise and top-tier acting, but there is just so much left unexplored. It left me feeling pretty annoyed.

The problem with THE INVITE is it was directed by an actor who was so caught up in making the audience *feel* the characters that she gave the film no shape. A more experienced director would have started out with a perspective of ironic detachment and gradually let the immersion take over.

Processed meats are carcinogenic. They cause cancer. This is not in dispute. And yet millions of parents in this country give them to their children every day. I do not understand it.

I gotta be honest: I do not give a fuck about national politics anymore. The change we need is not going to come through the voting booth. It's going to come from getting off our screens, inviting our neighbors over for dinner, making music, painting pictures, and helping out those in need.

I'm able to watch and enjoy Louis CK's comedy. I feel his crimes were not as severe as others do. Based on the interviews (and the bits that addressed it), it's clear to me he's done an appropriate amount of self-reflection. I don't expect anyone else to feel any particular way. That is all.

I tried to watch my first Jackass movie last night and thought it was.....dumb and unfunny? Maybe I'm a stick-in-the-mud, but these guys seem like assholes more than jackasses. It's like Borat but if the college guys in the RV had the camera.

It's weird, but I don't really watch movies anymore. Quite a change from a few years ago, I know. My nights are spent either watching baseball, working, hanging with friends, or making music. No time for film.

Trying to plan something with my friends with kids: "Let's meet up at this outdoor brewery." "The kids need more room to run around." "How about this little town? They have a walkable downtown with a great candy shop." "You don't want to see my kids on candy!" HAHAHA JUST FUCKING PICK SOMEWHERE

One of the reasons ZERO EFFECT is my favorite movie is it’s the ultimate Bad Dad movie. Zero is a bad father (figure) to Arlo. Arlo obviously had a bad dad, which is why he takes Zero’s abuse. Stark raped a woman and abandoned their child. And Zero is this way because his father killed his mother.

On this Father’s Day, how about a big Fuck You to the dads who abandoned us, abused us, mocked us, demeaned us, ignored us, and made us not want to have any kids of our own?

I know I'm not supposed to talk about this, but Emily Blunt has become a real problem for me. It's not just her. It's a damn epidemic in studio filmmaking. Cosmetic surgery, Botox (and the like), hair transplants. I need actors to look like human beings in order to connect with the characters.
