Only just recently learned Stephen Sondheim almost wrote a musical version of this and then passed, saying he couldn't improve the movie. I mean, he's probably right, but I'm still so sad now.

Re: the songs in LA LA LAND, "Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" has grown on me a ton but otherwise I completely agree. The crowd numbers are painfully bland (and plastic to boot, you can hear the studio editing in the vocals), and "City of Stars" has a non-melody that isn't helped by the fact that Gosling, for all his charisma, can't sing to save his life. Props to Emma Stone though.

I also have a problem with the way Chazelle villainizes modern art forms, because his jazz-fusion strawman is totally right. Besides, Miles Davis was already beyond traditional jazz in the 60s and 70s, this ain't a new thing.

It's indescribably great to... well, "hear your voice" is the wrong phrase, but still. We've missed you so much, Mike. Glad you're back.

Anything by Kim Stanley Robinson is probably a safe bet, if you're okay with an extrapolated near-future-speak discussion of said tech. (He said as Brian's advocate.)
