The Emancipation of Steven Tyler
F or a moment, Steven Tyler almost runs out of words. He’s standing too close to the edge of a Laurel Canyon cliff, exulting in the panorama of Los Angeles at his feet, the city’s sprawl giving way to white-capped mountains on the horizon. Off to his left, past green hills, a gang of clouds has singled out the HOLLYWOOD sign for a blast of rain. A sharp wind ruffles Tyler’s hair as he takes it all in. A deep breath of cool air, then he resumes the monologue that’s been running since he learned to speak – or, as he puts it, since he was “vaccinated with a phonograph needle.” “It’s all magical,” Tyler says in his excited rasp, pointing out the storm. “Hollywood is crying, because the Oscars are happening tomorrow night – it’s sad to see the year go, but it’s also crying tears of joy, because it’s all going to start all over again.” Tyler means this stuff, all of it, and he can make you buy into it too. He’s in a manic, mystical state of awe and gratitude these days, practically … [Read more...] about The Emancipation of Steven Tyler
Aerosmith’s Amazing Road Back
S teven Tyler enters the hotel room and strips down to his black cracker – a sort of G-string. It’s three in the morning – four hours after Aerosmith wrapped up a show before 37,000 fans at Toronto’s Skydome – and the band’s hyperactive lead singer is back at the Four Seasons Hotel ready to do a little more performing. After contorting himself on the room’s double bed for a few minutes, he finally achieves his desired position: bound and gagged with an attractive female friend of the band’s riding him bareback. Someone turns on a video camera to record the moment for posterity. Tyler’s famous big lips – which rival Mick Jagger ‘s or even Carly Simon ‘s – break into a wide Cheshire-cat grin. Then suddenly his expression turns more serious, and he begins a series of muffled orgasmic squeals. This is, in all likelihood, not the first time that the forty-two-year-old Tyler has found himself in this sort of situation. In fact, to hear Tyler and the other members of Aerosmith … [Read more...] about Aerosmith’s Amazing Road Back
Pump
Aerosmith continues its winning streak. Pump , the follow-up to 1987’s Permanent Vacation , slams one point home with particular force: that the renewed vigor displayed by the band on Permanent Vacation wasn’t just a fluke. While Permanent Vacation was a major comeback for Aerosmith, it was also somewhat of a stylistic departure. Songs like “Dude (Looks Like a Lady)” and “Angel” may have echoed the band’s signature style, but they represented a slicker, glossier version of the ragtag raunch rockers so many of us grew up with. Pump , however, transports the listener right back to the gilt-edged grunge of Aerosmith’s wonder years. More than anything else, the album recalls Aerosmith circa Toys in the Attic , the period just before substance abuse and Tyler-Perry bickering sapped the band of its creative energy. Not that Pump is a blatant exercise in retro-raunch. Any band can arrange for a marriage of convenience between old chord changes and new lyrics and serve up … [Read more...] about Pump
Ricky Gervais’ ‘SuperNature’ Netflix Special Draws Criticism Over Jokes About Trans People
Ricky Gervais ’ new comedy special SuperNature was released on Netflix just hours ago, but he’s already getting a lot of heat over his graphic jokes mocking the trans community. Just four minutes in, Gervais takes aim at trans women. “Oh, women!,” Gervais began. “Not all women, I mean the old-fashioned ones. The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs. Those fucking dinosaurs. I love the new women. They’re great, aren’t they? The new ones we’ve been seeing lately. The ones with beards and cocks. They’re as good as gold, I love them. And now the old-fashioned ones say, ‘Oh, they want to use our toilets.’ ‘Why shouldn’t they use your toilets?’ ‘For ladies!’ ‘They are ladies — look at their pronouns! What about this person isn’t a lady?’ ‘Well, his penis.’ ‘Her penis, you fucking bigot!’ ‘What if he rapes me?’ ‘What if she rapes you, you fucking TERF whore?’” TERF stands for “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist,” a term used to describe feminists who separate the … [Read more...] about Ricky Gervais’ ‘SuperNature’ Netflix Special Draws Criticism Over Jokes About Trans People

Cannes Review: Owen Kline’s ‘Funny Pages’
Talk about multiverses. In a parallel cosmos that is apparently just around the corner from you right now, a bunch of boys — and grown men — are living a life so different from yours that they might as well be aliens. You can see them in Owen Kline ’s Directors’ Fortnight title Funny Pages , hanging out all day in a store that sells old comics, arguing about the finer plot points in the first superhero comics and the originality or otherwise of their own homemade zines. They’re not an altogether easy watch. The strip lighting in the shop is unforgiving — and you just don’t want to see them eat, although some of them do little else. For these boys, it is seemingly a point of principle to talk with your mouth full. They are only interested in talking to each other, so it doesn’t really matter. Young Robert (Daniel Zolghadri), son of professional parents, doesn’t look like the hard-core fanboys — although he probably smells like them — but this is his castle of dreams. … [Read more...] about Cannes Review: Owen Kline’s ‘Funny Pages’

Tom Cruise Makes James Corden His Reluctant Goose on a Wild ‘Top Gun’ Jet Ride
Tom Cruise made James Corden his extremely reluctant Goose stand-in as he took the Late Late Show host out for a ride in a pair of fighter jets to mark the release of Top Gun: Maverick . The segment began with Cruise picking up Corden at the airport at five in the morning, then taking him for a topsy-turvy ride on a 1944 airplane. But the real fun — or horror, for Corden — began when Cruise started prepping Corden for a ride on a much faster, modern jet. When Corden tried to run off, Cruise stopped him and insisted the comedian was his Goose — the character played by Anthony Edwards in the first Top Gun flick. As Corden quickly noted, however, “When you say, ‘I’m your Goose,’ it makes me feel excited, and then I realize that Goose dies at the end of the film.” Cruise then eased Corden’s anxiety by insisting he was only Goose from the movie’s first half. “That’s the Goose I want to be,” joked Corden. “I want to be in a bar, singing ‘You’ve Lost That … [Read more...] about Tom Cruise Makes James Corden His Reluctant Goose on a Wild ‘Top Gun’ Jet Ride
