I would not watch a movie where Pauly Shore plays Richard Simmons, but I would watch a movie where Richard Simmons makes Pauly Shore cry.

This actually looks like a pretty solid month to me. Furiosa will kill (haha), the Fall Guy looks charming as hell, couple of good horror options, an appealing looking family movie or two (not Garfield, but who knows), and the Apes movies seem to have developed an audience. Dead Don’t Hurt sounds like Cold Mountain in…

I know I’m commenting (but not first). Just don’t comment on these things. Silence is a statement.

This may sound cool until you find out that most record presses are running on months-long delays because they’re choked with gimmick releases like this.

This may sound cool until you find out that Swift owns several vinyl mines and is manipulating the market to profit from both ends.

I don’t remember enough to give an actual example but there’s definitely been a few times where I’ll hear about a band for the first time and then learn they just sold out some giant venue like Madison Square Garden four nights in a row.

See, I was hoping this was about an actual gross chemistry test -- like a practical lab exam where she had to synthesize mercaptans or other unpleasant molecules.

Quite oppositely, I’ve found lately that I’ve forgotten a lot of the artists and songs that I liked as a teenager because I do try to keep up with newer music. My friend put on Jimmy Eat World the other day and it was like a rush of memories were unlocked from deep inside my brain and hit me all at once. And I still…

Forget Anne Hathaway, take the hint about celebrity gossip, AVClub!

I’m 47. Five years ago I started listening to a “new band” called Cage the Elephant, only to learn that everybody knew about them and they’d been around for 15 years.

I thought the big sign I’m getting Old would be failing to learn about new artists; turns out it’s hearing about artists who I could’ve sworn just debuted but in reality have been around for a decade-plus. I’ve been hearing about Hozier for either twenty months or twenty years; who knows.

Who the fuck is Charlie Puth? Maybe put some context in or at least a link to wikipedia?

Who? 

I actually don’t believe anyone who claims that they’ve never heard, at the very least, “Shake It Off.” That was everywhere.

This really didn’t need to be two reviews, no matter what Google told you. 

That’s some pretty fucked-up shit, listing a bunch of entertaining flicks about hired killers as a way of ending a story about an actual human being who contemplated a suicide-for-hire scheme.

It’s a safe “ploy” if I want to be cynical. There will always be girls who love and need songs like this, but will she still be singing them when she’s 45? Will she understand the unique dynamics of younger generations?

Just posted something similar upthread - the few I heard so far sound entirely like a continuation of her last few albums.  Very low-key.

We must protect Giancarlo Esposito at all costs.
