Seriously: Hate Digger all you want, but [pauses for flow of hate] movies like Digger are why we need studios. A world in which Digger doesn't get made one in which Sinners and One Battle also don't get made. You miss with Heaven's Gate and you still swung. You miss with Paw Patrol and you >

Curiosity begins with the capacity for wonder. For Carl Sagan, marvelling at the universe does not only inspire us: it also drives us to learn, question, and better understand the world around us.

Elvis Costello celebrates the 49th anniversary of his debut album My Aim Is True with a five-disc box set loaded with demos and live performances. Yes, this is the fourth expanded reissue of the album but this set nevertheless offers a bunch of revelations. My review:
