Really enjoyed it....I thought Dice ruled!!!!

A bit over the top, but I dug it, and I'm ready for more.....hopefully more of Juno's tittays as well  :P

   Agreed.
   Dice was awesome.
   A bit over the top - hopefully slows up a bit.

I liked it a lot more on the second viewing. They have to dance around the Walk Hard moments 'you're Robert Plant from the Led Zeppelin. Hello Robert Plant from the Led Zeppelins'.

Wait till they figure out no one wants to buy punk rock


Julia and I saw Bobby Cannivale on Broadway (with Chris Rock) in 'The Motherfucker with The Hat' he stole the show, and won a Tony for it.

I like Bobby, I thought he was really good in Blue Jasmine......Dice was in that too and was also good.

Doesn't work or flow..maybe will have to watch again. Choppy and having a hard time with the period piece meets fiction...wish it was more a dramatization that was based more on factual events, rather than skewing the timeline for sake of "entertainment"

It's just not that good

Title: Re: Vinyl starts on 14th
Post by: MadJohnShaft on February 18, 2016, 08:19:51 AM
Agreed, I thought that the first time but when I watched it again with lower expectations it was better.


Plus, Olivia Wilde.

I'm the complete opposite, the like the fiction interweaved with facts a lot. But a real storyline has to develop, so far its been mostly character-introductions.

of course they crammed all the 70s into 1973 they always do that
they did that on boardwalk empire too and wrote in like every mobster that ever existed in the 1920s US
i can somehow understand that though

Title: Re: Vinyl starts on 14th
Post by: Instant Dan on February 20, 2016, 01:35:11 PM
It's not bad. As others mentioned, it gets over the top and excessive.

Then again, Winter always goes all in and can get excessive. I felt that's why Boardwalk Empire collapsed under its own weight. Hopefully Winter learned his lesson.

I still think it should been a mini-series like Scorsese first mentioned what it was going to be.

as a rock nerd i´ll definitely keep watching this but i also can not really understand why they chose 73
i mean setting it in like 76 would have made a lot more sense they still could have used led zep and bell bottoms and all but the whole thing about discovering punk and upcoming hip hop would have been a bit more accurate and less misplaced

I would watch something good before this silly show.

The Warhol stand-in was just terrible. If they're going to portray famous rock stars then they need to give us informed characterizations.   They are all poorly done so far.  

The punk band Nasty Bits? They could easily have made real songs for them to play. Those songs are awful.

I like the first 'crowd riot' song when Blondie first sees them though.



Title: Re: Vinyl starts on 14th
Post by: sleestak on February 29, 2016, 02:22:05 PM
Pretty trite approach at 1973.  I'll probably keep watching but it's pretty stupid now.  I mean the "Nasty Bits" doesn't inspire any danger and the approach is bordering on offensively vanilla when you consider the bands they're supposed to be paralleling.  Clearly they're going to homogenize and crowbar in some kind of stupid hip-hop element to all of this which I'm sure will be just as vanilla and fucking stupid too.

Alice Cooper can really hold a grudge.

agreed
it is real silly with all that punk and even hip hop already happening in 73
when that guy was djing  i was thinking "please don´t start scratching now"
they shhold have set it in like 76
would have made much more sense

I thought last night's episode was the best one yet....and I have been on the fence about the show even though I like it and not critiquing as hard as our beloved MJS. I thought the guy who played Alice did a good job.

Crispin Glover should have played Warhol though.

Yes, and since it's in one of the descriptions about the show, it shouldn't be surprising.

I'm not sure what you expected, but I think it's done a pretty decent job of portraying a record company in '73.

...Like a better show.   I am just not into it.   I could revisit if I saw a good write up of the season or something but I don't think I will be going back.   Admittedly I didn't get all that into boardwalk empire then got obsessed with it after rewatching it later as well as Deadwood is my favorite show ever.  So you see I'm not opposed to partially fictionalization dramas and I like the lead in vinyl I just think it's just not grabbing me.

This last episode I thought was amazing...Olivia Wilde full on nude...bush and all. I loved that Ritchie is seeing dead people. Mick Jaggers' kid having to find another guitarist and Ray fucking Romano and David Fucking Bowie! Best episode yet.

Winter has been let go from his showrunning duties on the Bobby Cannavale-starring '70s musical drama, with the network citing "creative differences" for the change.

Bad stuff...
All the classic rock remakes- absolutely horrid
Bobby Cannavale snorting coke like it's soaked in rocket fuel
Mick Jagger's son- almost ruins the show
Mick Jagger's son playing a part-time-junkie
Mick Jagger's involvement, which adds authenticity
The direction- we don't need to see the background music, especially when it sucks
[Ugh, I could go on]

That said, we are kinda hooked in a soap opera way. Neither of us really likes it, but we still watch it.

The whole murder sub-plot is annoying. The mobster loan - this show should focus on the music industry insider stuff, how records get made and promoted. Why is Richie in jail for murder, rather than something more central to the story line (running amuck)?

The gambling thing?

Ingred and Olivia Wilde's scenes together are awful but sexy.

I hate that new photographer character.

that last episode was ridiculous
or actually annoying
silly storyline and jagger jr at his worst so far
he hit an all-time low
good thing is he will never be seen again on the screen unless jagger sr is involved
the show started alright but got worse from episode to episode

I can't say that I'm surprised—despite the promising historical subject matter, they pretty much blew it.

Bright side: At least we won't have to watch "Richie" do his stupid Tony Montana coke-snorting impression EVER AGAIN.

The show had such potential to be awesome and they seemed to blow it at every turn

The domineering female character added a little life to the show - but that murder/mafia thing just derailed it.

Plus, it wasn't focused enough on the music and his label's focus finding on the next big authentic new thing (punk rock, disco) didn't get to drive the plot like it should have, since we never saw it happen/fail.

exactly they blew it big time
plus they burned a lot of money
this and the fact way too few were watching made that an easy decision for the new boss at the hbo drama departement

I think they probably just couldn't think of any way to salvage such a terrible piece of shit in a second season.

right
we should all be glad
otherwise we´d have to watch jagger jr. getting successful with his band
and richie and that silly a&r discovering synth pop, thrash+speed metal and techno all in 1974

I'm kinda glad it's done... I always watched it, but never really enjoyed it.

Should have done another season, at the very least.
