re: Cringe worthy music video from guy in NOLA

My god what an abysmal pile of shite.

He is either some rich Euro or on the autism spectrum, there can be no other explanation

The backing band he hired is far too good for this idiot and he must pay really well

We rented that penthouse apartment on top of Jax Brewery a few years ago for a long weekend. It was epic, best location and best views in the city

The blonde chick was nice but the brunette in the coffee shop was gorgeous

Seems like the NOLA version of James Dolan. An unbelievably dorky and untalented guy hires talented musicians who don't want to be there and tries to restore classic forms of American music and fails miserably.

Parts of that felt like it should have been the intro to a late 80s/early 90s TV sitcom.

And here we have the true purpose of the film...

It‘s interesting that this simple story—a charming, gentle romance about a woman seizing the reins of her own heart and demanding unequivocal respect—suddenly took on a tinge of topical drama with the October 2017 #MeToo social media phenomenon ... and the massive dam-burst of pent-up feelings it released.

In Marigny Tumble, the strife-causing physical contact happens not to the female lead, but to Bella Blue, one of New Orleans’ leading vintage burlesque performers. Bella performed her scene with only the briefest direction. Yet her reaction on camera to the butt grab she knew was coming was poignant and nuanced: a demure step back, a hearty laugh that was yet tinged with nervousness, and in her eyes an unmistakable glint of conflict and vulnerability—exactly the response of a woman who feels compelled to play along with unwanted, sexually-charged physical contact.

Her response was surprising to Kevin during filming. Bella is his real-life friend and exuberant denizen of the sexually-charged world of burlesque who might, just a year or so prior, have greeted him by jumping up and wrapping her legs around him playfully—and that's the spirit in which he had expected their interaction in the scene to play out. He knew when it happened that her reaction on camera wasn’t entirely a performance, but it was only later that he learned the depth of it: Bella had just emerged from a destructive relationship suffering from a full blown case of PTSD...

“When I go places, I am constantly scanning for ‘danger’ ... It plagues your waking moments and creeps into your dreams when you least expect it.” It caused “an almost complete disconnection from my physical self. You know, the part of you that allows you to be a sexual human being. Yep. You heard right. A burlesque performer who can’t find her mojo ... You may also be surprised to learn that performing is not a sexual activity for most burlesque dancers. By the same token, sexual acts are not a performance.”

So Bella’s real-life suffering inadvertently infused the scene with a poignant truth that lends depth and resonance—and helps fuel The Event Producer’s contempt and lingering mistrust as the story unfolds.

And there’s a striking synchronicity. The Event Producer is the one purely fictional character in Marigny Tumble. The back story Laura was given in pre-production? ...She had just emerged from a destructive relationship with a manipulative philanderer.

I'm all for different sounds and expanding on sounds because obviously. But somewhere along the way, you know this dude walked into a recording studio, dumped a pile of cash on a "producers" desk and said,"is this enough cash to make me a musician?", The rest as say is terrible history

I thought it was pretty good

“They don’t speak French...on Frenchmen anymore...”

Good choice since down in a hole is where you want to be after that
