Hey, I live in NO, where gutterpunks get apartments and jobs! (Shitty, eight-to-a-shotgun apartments and bottom-of-the-barrel service jobs, but hey, they're trying!) Gutterpunks will occasionally pick up an instrument and even learn how to play decently, but as soon as they do they're pretty much not a GP anymore. …

As someone who has almost no context for St. Vincent, other than
hearing/reading a few raves here and there, I was super-impressed by her guitar skills - and not just skills, her playing clearly has a voice - but a bit less about the retro theatricality. It reminded me maybe too much of eighties avant-garde acts, and…

She started showing flashes of "secretly crazy anchor" for Seth to play straight man off of, much like Amy with Tina, and Strong's very good at that. I was convinced they'd hit that note even harder by bringing in the whitest of white men as a partner, but instead she's flattened out even more. It makes zero sense.

Yeah, current Update looks too much like 1998 news. Conversely, Dennis Miller's Update can be said to be an antecedent of the ESPN-popularized snarky news that is now an established part of TV.

God, I hope YouTube/gifmemes are keeping those old antidrug ads alive for future generations to ridicule.

Me, too - but those JLU depictions of the Rogues (which I LOVE) are based on a long history of them sparring with Wally, which they clearly can't get to in a "Year One" worldbuilding-under-construction scenario like we have here. But it should definitely be something for them to lay the groundwork for in the future.

I'm praying that they keep to the "modern" conception of the Rogues - a bunch of professional criminals with a code, in the Parker vein, who look out for each other, avoid hurting civilians, and have a grudging respect for the Flash. Having them not be grimdark villains would lighten the tone considerably from Arrow,…

I believe, Space Madam, that the gun in the dark that you are fumbling for is cancerAIDS.

This was way easier than Roger and Colby's game, that's for sure. The dates category was the only thing that totally threw me - that's definitely an arena for J! professionals.

See, I find T&DvE endlessly rewatchable, and it's because Labine and Tudyk just absolutely kill it. And there's more than a little bit of satisfaction in Tucker and Dale's reclamation of the "redneck as Neanderthal, Other-ing racist" stereotype.

I only do nays.

There is currently a webcomic that is kind of about that - taking the fact that Steve Rogers was canonically a cartoonist before the experiment, the conceit is that it's movie-Steve's comic diary of day-to-day life.

I've always longed for a show that's about nothing but the culture shock and relearning processes for a person out of time (that we only get in tiny doses on things like Sleepy Hollow and the Cap movies). Reverse-anthropology is something that's always fascinated me, and might actually be a better teaching tool for…

I figured that this "stunt" involved some heavily vetted planning - how could it not? - but the fact that it's part of NASA's consistently human and increasingly savvy public outreach is another feather in their cap.

Never seen this before - and it hit all my buttons. I love that the guy's reedy voice lends the right amount of melancholy (to balance out the cheerier fact that he's a fucking astronaut, on the goddamn ISS), and that image of the guitar floating through the corridor in zero-G is one that will linger in my mind. But…

I still demand a Chew series on FX.

We'll be able to tell it's a Johns if someone's arm gets ripped off.

I misread the title at first as, "Since when is the CW the stabbiest network?"

I'm sure the Rogues are written in black ink on the Guest Starring list. I'm only worried about them missing out on the potential mindfuckery of a Morrisonian Mirror Master.

A friend of mine once messed with another friend, who was cripplingly obsessed with certain animated characters, by reading aloud a fake ISO classified that went: "Jasmine, in search of my Prince Ali." Suffice it to say, mutual friend went bananas, immediately asking for her contact info. Still feel the guiltlulz…
