Repetitive Lyrics

One of the things about "cutting the cord" is that I don't see a lot of commercials, which is nice. However, there are some services that we use that have commercial put in them, to keep them free to the user. One of these is Pluto TV, which we watch for their MST3K and RiffTrax channels. The downside is that they put their commercials on in blocks that last a couple of weeks, so you're constantly seeing the same thing repeatedly. While that can be annoying, it's usually tolerable.

One of the recent ones, however, is definitely intolerable, and that's the iPhone X commercial. (Quick Tangent: Is it the iPhone "Ten" or the iPhone "Ex"? Since no one speaks on the damn thing, I have no clue.) This commercial uses a song called "Do Your Thing" as the background. How do I know this? The entire commercial is the following:

Do your, do your thing
Do your, do your thing
Do your thing
Do your, do your thing
Do your, do your thing
Do your thing
Do your, do your, do your thing
Do your, do your thing
Do your thing

Do your, do your thing
Do your, do your thing
Do your thing
Do your, do your thing
Do your, do your thing
Do your thing
Do your, do your, do your thing
Do your, do your thing
Do your thing

It's MADDENING! It's also a pet peeve of mine, which is why I HATE "We've Got The Beat" as well. It's not the style of music, the performer, the instrumentation, or anything like that. It's the SAME. DAMN. LINE. OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I have never been able to stand that.

There might be more to this song (and I really hope there is) but since it's not my style of music, I'll never know. I can tell you this, though. If I hate the commercial that much, I'm NEVER going to buy that product.

OK, rant over. Go watch Black Panther or something.

THP - Jaws 2

Wait, what's this? A new podcast episode?

Yes, dear reader, you aren't seeing things. I did manage to release a new episode of The Hammer Podcasts! It only took a year and a half, but my conversation with Paul Spataro about Jaws 2 is finally out there. This is a different look at the film, focusing on the family aspect.

I should point out that Patreon supports at the $2 level were able to listen to this last Saturday. If that kind of reward interests you, and you want to make sure that I get more episodes out, why not visit that link down there ↓ and become a supporter?

Launch the Yamato!

No matter which version it is, old, new, or live action, I just LOVE this scene.
