Sparks will Fly in Hollywood

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 16:16:20 GMT

Sparks will Fly in Hollywood: They’ve had some big gaps here and there but, for the most part, Sparks have remained remarkably consistent over the course of their career from 1966 (!) until now. This year’s The Girl is Crying in Her Latte, their 25th studio album, is typically brilliant and further proof that the world should know more than “This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us.” Here, they’re performing with quirky pop-rockers They Might Be Giants, and that’s an inspired bill.We spoke to Ron Mael in June 2020, at the start of the pandemic and shortly after the release of their A Steady Drip Drip Drip album.“I mean, it sounds pretentious to say it, but the point where we feel that we aren’t evolving, then it really isn’t time to continue going,” Mael said. “We don’t want to just be rehashing things from the past. I mean, everything is filtered through your sensibility, so you can’t escape that continuity in what you’re doing, but we definitely try to move on from wh...

Joy Ride Travels Uproariously Tawdry yet Tender Territory

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 16:16:20 GMT

Bawdy and shamelessly silly at times, but also surprisingly heartfelt, Joy Ride takes the traditional male-centric R-rated comedy and filters it through the Asian-American, feminine perspective. If that sounds academic, don’t worry, this road movie rivals Freddy Got Fingered for crudeness.Films like Bridesmaids set the standard for this kind of material, in which a group of women face their repressed fears by falling on their faces, but director Adele Lim puts a fresh spin, creating a world that’s recognizably human while still existing in a hyperbolic (even psychedelic) universe. She might have even established a new genre: the Asian-American Adult Comedy, infusing a Molotov cocktail of influences from The Farrelly Brothers to Kung Fu cinema to K-Pop to Porky’s.After a clunky prologue where we meet the two main characters, the only two Asian girls in a mostly white school, we fast forward 25 years, where those same girls, Lolo (Sherry Cola) and Audrey (Ashley Park), are still besti...
