• Best ever superhero movie (in terms of fabrics): It’s god vs. psycho in Zack Snyder’s bombastic “Batman v Superman”

  23-03-2016 23:59 via salon.com
  
  Whatever qualities it may lack, Zack Snyder’s superhero blockbuster “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” — which officially recalibrates the summer movie season into early spring — does not lack texture. That’s not some fancy film-critic metaphor. If this movie is about anything (which is debatable), it is about materials and fabrics, about the way they look and feel. This obsession became apparent in Snyder’s ponderous, apocalyptic Superman picture &ldq

  Last week, 4AD announced "Day of the Dead," the newest addition to the Red Hot series of albums, which are released to benefit the HIV/AIDS-associated nonprofit Red Hot Organization.

• Here’s the scariest thing about “The Simpsons” episode that predicted President Trump

  23-03-2016 23:57 via salon.com
  
  “Bart to the Future,” in season 11 of the iconic Fox animated series “The Simpsons,” is a truly abysmal episode of television. And yet, like many abysmal things, it is experiencing a renaissance, of sorts, because of a throwaway line spoken by Lisa, midway through the episode: “As you know, we’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump.” Oh, yes: Lisa Simpson is the president of the United States, and she is speaking to her senior staff; and

• My awful date with Donald Trump: The real story of a nightmare evening with a callow but cash-less heir

  It was the early 1970s. I was about 23 at the time and he was in his late 20s. We met through friends talking at a bar. My friend knew his friends. It’s was a lively Upper East Side -- considered cool at the time -- spot. Still there and still considered a great place to go for a burger. A comfortable place for all generations. The tables are so close everyone feels like a friend. It’s cozy. This was over 40 years ago.So I met a nice guy through friends at the bar and he asked m

• Vinyl won’t save musicians: It’s still just a miniscule portion of music-industry revenues

  23-03-2016 22:03 via salon.com
  
  Here are some things I’m pretty sure of. Vinyl has better, warmer, more complex sound than CDs, as well an old-school cool. The larger album covers and room for liner notes are better than the compressed little field and compact disc allowed. And vinyl has lent its name to an HBO show that is not perfect, but is at least besotted with the pre-punk and punk-rock ‘70s.So there is plenty of reason to buy vinyl and feel good about your record collection. But the idea that we hear in musi

• Leave David Letterman alone: For a celebrity, “showing his age” means aging in public at all

  If there is a hell, surely there is a special place in it for the tabloid hacks who bring us the "___ doesn't look like this any more" stories that report, with shock, that a celebrity has not been immune to the passage of time. The latest victim? David Letterman.It's been nearly a year since the 68 year-old stepped down from his perch as the host of "Late Night."

And as the number of politically oriented late-night hosts is proliferating, those comments are even more pointed. To point to a notable example, last November, when terrorist attacks in Paris happened late on a Friday evening, “Real Time With Bill Maher,

  The drug war is an issue in this campaign, but it ought to be front and center. America's war on drugs hasn't worked – for anyone. It's been a boon to the pharmaceutical companies, who don't want the competition, and to the prison-industrial complex, who profit from locking up nonviolent offenders, but it's been a disaster for everyone else.The April cover story of Harper's magazine explains not just how counterproductive the drug war has been but also, and perhaps more importantly, its ra
