Did not know that. Apparently he did it under the stage name Elston Gunn!

And a female actor as well.Oh and the show.
Fell asleep before all that.
They need to bring Ricky Gervais back.
Wow! I thought I knew my Dylan history/trivia. This one surprised me. Well done!
Nicki Glaser the host of the golden globes last had some really funny monologue lines
— “Eddie Redmayne did TV this year. He’s nominated for Peacock’s The Day of the Jackal. It’s about a top-secret elite sniper who no one can see — because he’s on Peacock.”
Val take note ^
Wasn’t it Dave Van Ronk?
Lead belly had a version much earlier than Dylan's called Rising Sun Blues, same song.

Caught Juror Number Two, formulaic, but okay, just nothing special.
It does start a convo about being in really bad spot and whether or not one would come forward and ruin lives or live the lie for the rest of one's life riddled with guilt.

Yes it was. Van Ronk continued to play it live but used to tell the story in his intro that Dylan stole it from him but after The Animals had a monster hit with it his revenge was Dylan had to stop playing it because people thought he “stole” the song from them which played on Dylan’s huge ego, at least according to Van Ronk.
The song itself is a traditional blues tune and has been covered by many artists and bands with many different lyrics and under various titles.
Interesting record in its context. Unusual aspect was that Dylan recorded 17 songs in three sessions, 12 of which made the record, but he refused to do anything but a single take on all of them. All but 2 on the record were covers.

Went through an Affleck phase the last week (I’m between shows) and watched Manchester By the Sea, Gone Girl and Gone Baby Gone.
Despite the fact it was pretty depressing, I think I liked Manchester the best. Acting was top notch. I was most intrigued by GBG, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending. Was totally engrossing though. Wasn’t a huge fan of his girlfriend or her decision at the end. But, great flick though. GG was good, Rosamund Pike is really cute, but that one was a little too contrived for my liking. The first twist was pretty awesome, her acting was great, but most of the last act I just didn’t buy.

If you’re jonesing for more Bennifer, check out Argo. And if you want more Rosamund (who wouldn’t) check out Jack Reacher (the movie with Maverick).

I saw Argo in the theater, great movie. The only other thing I’ve seen Rosamund Pike in was the birding movie The Big Year, and she looked great in that too.

Gone Girl is one of my favorites!
There are a couple things about that movie that really elevate it - Affleck's character being constantly scrutinized by the media is played so well because.. well it is Affleck. It is almost like he isn't acting at a certain point
I know you said you didn't buy the last act, I have always made the argument that you really aren't "supposed" to buy the last act. I find it to be more of a meta commentary on some of the dangers of some of the ideas that drive movements such as #metoo or "believe women".
Not getting political at all, in fact Gone Girl predates those movements, but I just think the final act nods to how society is so used to viewing the "damsel in distress" as a sympathetic figure, and how Amy uses that to her advantage despite some pretty clear holes in her story. The movie kind of plays with that idea and points out how it can be kind of absurd to just automatically believe one way because of societal pressures.
I think some have accused the book of being misogynist for that reason (though written by a woman). I don't see it that way. I just view it as a chilling cautionary tale on the dangers of not taking things "case by case" and just proceeding based off of narratives that sound good.
