Pre-"Magnolia," Mann had already burst through as bass player/singer for 'Til Tuesday, her startlingly wide-open eyes and thoroughly '80s popping blonde 'do onscreen seemingly 24-7 in the band's video for 1985 hit "Voices Carry." Critical love carried to her solo debut album, 1993's "Whatever," praised in print by everyone from Elvis Costello to novelist/music nerd Nick Hornby.
Dude just turned 60, and yes, meme-makers, that is nine years older than Wilford Brimley was when he shot "Cocoon," but is it really news that some look different from others, age differently, act differently?
Those aren't hacks, kids, no matter what you think of real-life Cruise, who might indeed be just a wee bit unhinged, even mildly terrifying, with those 10-foot Cruise-a-tron gleaming teeth, and that non-aging face. See also his work with Steven Spielberg on the 2002 "Minority Report," with Cameron Crowe, 2001's "Vanilla Sky," with Oliver Stone, 1989's "Born on the Fourth of July," and with Martin Scorcese, 1986's "The Color of Money." Of course he/she/they can, given a proper script and director. "Magnolia" is also my played-ace whenever someone trots out the tired "Tom Cruise (insert handsome/beautiful/bizarre star of your choice) can't act" line. Mann's "Wise Up" had already cemented its cinematic star, as her music inspired writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson's 1999 "Magnolia," still his finest, if not most purely entertaining (that could be the 1997 "Boogie Nights") feature film. There may be a bit much Mumford and Sons for some palates, but as Marcus Mumford's the show's music co-coordinator – and writer/performer of its rousing, catchy theme song – that's a gimme.Īs the finest meldings of music and film do, both can be forever changed via vivid visual association. Season one's accompaniment wasn't shabby either, with Sam Cooke, Dusty Springfield, the Yardbirds, Lady Gaga, David Bowie and a plethora more.
As if you needed more reasons to love "Ted Lasso," music utilized so far on season two includes: "Wise Up" by Aimee Mann "Tear it Up," Queen "Christmas in Hollis," Run-DMC "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," Ella Fitzgerald "Santa Baby," Eartha Kitt "Fairytale of New York," the Pogues "LOVE," Nat King Cole "She's a Rainbow," Rolling Stones "Dancing Shoes," Arctic Monkeys "By Your Side," Sade "I Feel Free," Cream "Down by the Riverside," Mahalia Jackson "Blue Moon," the Marcels "Beware of Darkness," George Harrison "Nightclub Jitters," the Replacements "A Girl Like You," Edwin Collins and pieces of Dvorak's Ninth Symphony, and Debussy's "Claire de Lune."
