Godard either blows you away or makes you go "what the fuck is the point of this?", there's no middle ground. Personally I had such a strong reaction to Pierrot Le Fou/Weekend as a double feature that I didn't bother to watch anything for a week because nothing could compare.

He sounded so utterly done with it in his WTF episode.

Are you suggesting we didn't need a #HumbleBrag book?

When it came back in the 90's, he had a nemesis: VAC-MAN https://www.youtube.com/wat…

All I remember about this show is that no-one in the UK had seen it, but we had this boy join our class from Thailand for a term and he had all the toys, and would bring them in and show off. His figures were different that the one's Vin was shilling though; quite big with less articulation.

I liked this joke best in Mystery Men.

Yeah but that album had Mixtape on it, which forgives it for everything.

What's even worse is that the idea of a flat earth is shockingly modern, and to quote "with extraordinarily few exceptions no educated person in the history of Western Civilization from the third century B.C. onward believed that the Earth was flat". The idea didn't really spread until the late 1800s…

FEMA Death Camp conspiracies have been repeatedly referenced in The X-Files before… and in fact are part of the plot of The X Files: Fight The Future

yeah, I was worried they'd either do something ridiculous and go too far, oe that they'd do nothing. This is fair, and beneficial to all groups involved and no-one can complain about it being "racist to whites" or whatever they're claiming. Good move all around.

The Radio 4 Dead Ringers Christmas Special for 2015 had a sketch where the Doctor complained that the show had taken all the "good" Christmas-related villains, and so what they were left with were lame attempts like "The Christmas Crackerons" or "evil mulled wine" that mulled you to death. The sketch ends with…

I didn't even need to look to know this was posted by Blevins

It's very odd how there were a lot of bands then and it seemed like there was going to be some kind of indie movement over the next few years (even if many of them were terrible) and it just never seem to get there, somehow. A lot of the better bands, like the Libertines, never seemed to fully deliver and ultimately…

God, I had forgotten about Maximo Park. When I was in the UK they were huge on the strength of their-one-song-that-doesn't-get-good-until-the-final-minute, Apply Some Pressure. I hadn't even realized they'd co-opted Longo, but I remember seeing his work on gig posters now you've mentioned it.

That I'll give you, and he's right about the cover. It's always one people stop on when they flick through my vinyl. Have you heard the Indeterminate Activity of Resultant Masses Branca released a few years ago? It has an interview with John Cage on the album where he just basically talks about how much he dislikes…

He's even avoided some of the more obvious outsider art selections - no Daniel Johnston, no Shaggs, no Godz, etc. I'm very surprised at the lack of The Legendary Stardust Cowboy (as he was a big fan), especially given the fairly obvious Syd Barrett and Velvet Underground selections, but I guess I can give him a pass…

Proves how well I know the song, as I don't remember a girls voice on it at all, but admittedly I couldn't remember Macklemore rapping it either when I looked up the lyrics. It was everywhere for a while though, and I actually did buy the album at the time and play it in my car, so I don't know why I don't remember…

the specific line that gets me is "She's like "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k, trippin'. / "Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?" which to me is over compensating to a ridiculous degree (I've liked girls since I was born so I can't be gay!) and the repeated refrain of "I can't change" and "she keeps…

I guess that's true. I mean I am gay, so I was fed up of people befriending me as their "token gay" on facebook or to show off their tolerance, and by the time I heard Same Love with all it's "tidying up isn't gay!" platitudes, I was definitely fed up with what I saw as shallow statements being applauded because they…

Yeah, notice how Macklemore's whole song is basically the following statement set to music "I'm not gay, it's cool if you are but remember that I am not, please just remember that", like how anyone here's a genuine statement in that song and not just a insecure white guy overcompensating is beyond me.
