    "Sex and Drugs, and Rock n Roll"…Scorsese and Jagger Spin Some Gold
    15 February 2016 | by LeonLouisRicci (United States) – See all my reviews
    "Sex, and Drugs, and Rock n Roll (is all my brain and body needs)" sang Ian Dury (and the Blockheads) on the Punk/New Wave Label "Stiff" Records in the Late Seventies.

    Martin Scorsese was not Only Listening, He was there, and a Few Years Previous, Here as the Case May Be. New York City (1973). That is When "The New York Dolls" (who literally bring down the house) Anticipated "Punk" at Least in Attitude if Not Wardrobe.

    "Vinyl", is the New HBO Glam that Finds Itself in the "Boardwalk Empire", "Mad Men" Camp of Slicing Apart an Entire Zeitgeist of an Era. Scorsese Directs the 2-Hour Pilot with the Same Verve of Fashion, Party Favors, and Yes Music that Perpetuates All His Stuff.

    Bobby Cannavale is the Sweaty, Calmly Nervous Record Executive that All of this Swirls and Rotates Just Like the Titular Turntable Platter. The Story is Set in '73 but Frequently, Like a Record Being Pulled Back and "Scratched", is Retro-ed to Previous Moments in the History of Rock n Roll and Cannavale is the "DJ" Spinning the Yarn from His Point of View.

    This HBO Series has all the Right Stuff that "Hits" are Made, a Hook, a Backbeat, a Production Team with an "Ear" for the Real Deal, and is Marketed with Gritty Nostalgia, Helped by its Other Part of the Creative Team, Mick Jagger.

    The Pilot Shows Promise but is Not Perfect with its Time Stamping and Seems to Allow Some "Cheating" in Service of the Story. But in Real Life the Things that Make and Break and Era are Subjective with the "What Came and Who Did it First" Timeline". That Type of Accuracy, by Nature is Blurry. Just Like the Alcohol and Drug Induced World that "Vinyl" is Sampling.

    Bullet hasn't entered his brain and they took care of the blood loss fairly quickly, presumably there would still have been some cranial loss of pressure so how they got around that I dunno ... it's gone in at an angle through the eye itself and out the corner of the eye socket ... have a look at the art-work in the comics it shows it in much more detail

    Looking forward to that. Will have to check if it's weekly or the whole lot put there at once.

    At work so haven't looked. How does it work? I've never watched a new series start before. Will it just be one episode a week as it is on normal TV or will the whole of the new series be there?

    Did a 4 hour marathon session last night...

    The People vs OJ Simpson
    Gotham
    The Walking Dead
    X Files

    Had to Sky+ or do Channel+1 on a few stuff as everything seemed to be on at the same time. But fck me what a great 4 hours of TV that was. Looking forward to Monday nights for the next month or so <applause>

    Gutted about the eye-candy killed on TWD, she was lovely and I was expecting a degree of full-frontal at some point :(

    I meant to say ive never read a deadpool comic in my life so knew very little about him before the film but it was a good watch personally, a nice change from the usual as you say.

    Next up is batman vs superman, and ive been a batman fan since i was a kid (not comics) so looking forward to that, i also liked man of steel so i should like BvS also.

    The whole point of Netflix is you don't have to watch it at a specific time. <laugh>
