i went thru customs to get home from Amsterdam 10 yrs ago and was sneaking some psychedelic hashish (easy to sneak) and a bunch of edibles (not so easy) home. I was mad sneaky- I had the hash rolled to a flat spaghetti-string pressed into the pocket liner of a pair of jeans in the dirty laundry bag and the chocolate…

Also COSMOS and VIKINGS and such. (I say that seriously, VIKINGS managed to entertain me consistently, though I know it is not high-brow AV material.) Oh crap and RECTIFY, one of the most underrated shows of last year (but not as underrated as TIME OF DEATH, which I am saddened and ashamed did not get any real…

I'll be more outrageous next time. When my 8-yr old watched CALIGULA she thought it was a little too excessive!
In fairness, when she was 4, my daughter did walk thru the room when i was watching Season 3 of the WIRE and look at me all cutely and say, "Daddy? What's a mudda-fucka?" So, yeah, maybe the joke needed a…

oh boy. that was a joke. yikes.

I could not BELIEVE how good this movie was, for a 36-year old man (me!) to take an eight-year-old girl (Daughter!) to. I genuinely laughed out loud more in this than any film I can recall in recent memory. I found myself thinking about it all weekend. The water and fire made of legos! The Batman song! EVERYTHING IS…

you know what was great? When I watched DRUG WAR on a library copy, got about 1/2 way thru (right when they got the warehouse of deaf drug workers) and the dvd froze, which then revealed itself to be a huge gouge in the underside of said dvd. now I have to wait another 6 weeks to get it again on order. OUCH.

i am guessing Mike killed himself and Michonne's son? And I'm liking this episode more the next morning, thinking back on it- that dream scene was so odd, I thought it was a stupid Hyundai commercial with zombies and Michonne at first, then it quickly went south to where I was going WTF IS THIS? But yeah, an…

oh, and a C+ for the eps. It just seemed like…meh. Though "Too soon, guys" and "ITS A BEAR DANCE!" def helped.

watched SHORT TERM 12 last night- one of the best of the year. I had a sick run in my house of great movies, night after night aftre night- BLUE CAPRICE, IN A WORLD…, SHORT TERM 12, and next up is DON JON and 20 FEET FROM STARDOM, then REPRISE (from the OSLO 31 AUG team). It will come to a grinding halt with FAST and…

i have an idea for the "Big Bad" of season 6. It just flashed to me the other night while watching Rappaport valiantly play deep-south baddie. Don't get mad- it's just an idea. A charismatic, slightly off-kilter, maniacal murderin Australian shows up- with a crew of deported Aussie underlings- and is led by Mel…

I feel so vindicated to see Ed and Julia kiss. On the first intro of his character some d-bag on here got all up in my grill when I said it was going to happen, kind-of personal type attacks, "how dare you" and shit, and said it was never going to happen. Well, so, I've been proven right. And now…now my favorite…

Where be DANNY BROWN "OLD" and why no love for that? One of the most unique, skilled rappers out there, who doesn't play by any standard hip-hop rules, and has had to prove himself over and over because of it. I see the fan love, in the comments, but AV?

i will go see this none times per month for the rest of my life

I adore the AV Club. Come for the articles on Parenthood, stay for the philosphical arguments on Noam Chomsky and the Khmer Rouge. Fucking Brilliant.

And FYI, Ibogaine is a real and stunningly effective drug for heroin/opiate detox that is eventually going to become a standard issue in the US, you know, when they chemicaly alter the "mind-bending hallucinations" bit of it's side effects. It's a case of "lesser evil" drug use but I've seen some people- really bad,…

I was thrilled that Mickey Doyle was nowhere to be seen last night, so he bought himself some time- at least one episode, right? And then they killed my half-faced boy, in a beautiful, sad, horrible last scene. My 7-yr old said, when I was telling my wife, "They killed the Phantom of the Opera Man?"
She's been a fan…

So, when you see me on the real, forming like Voltron
Remember I got deep like a Navy Seal

oh my god help i called the # and got sucked into this world and there are ghoulies chasing me and people dancing like the bangles in that stupid effing video and oh god why is Mikey here and coming after me

Yeah, that was Manson as the waiter in heavy make-up and fat suit. I hope it was a fat suit. (Although, yeah, I guess he would be NOT in heavy makeup.)

I said Ed and Julia were going to get together and some troll got all up in my shit on the first episode comment thread. I'd just like to point out it now appears I am right. Or close to right. I'm closer than he was. So screw off, troll. Roy from THE OFFICE is going to bang that wife senseless.
