"washed-up" musicians
This is a great and really interesting question. I've always thought that the artists might not consider it better or worse, but they are doing what interests them now. I think Sting is the most visible example, because he follows his interests all the way into a new genre, instead of just…

I thought…
…that the Rolling Stones proved this theorum 15 years ago. I'm convinced that creators just lose the fire as they get older (there are of course exceptions).

I will never forget that sketch.

Tyler Rehab
When I heard "safe environment to rehab" I thought the subtext was for him to be in a hospital where they would treat his pain with medication with the smallest likelihood of addiction. Someone more knowledgeable?

Missed opportunity
Al Green was on my finace (now wife) and my plane back from Nice, FR. I was this close to asking him if he would marry us on the plane. I was too afraid her parents would kill me. Alas…

Band fotos.
The band fotos for these Random Rules pieces are always so self-important. Is a sense of humor about oneself incompatible with indie-rock stardom?

I'm not criticizing the character for screaming because of the witch-related stuff (sticks and rocks). I'm criticize the realism of having them harp at each other and blame each other and basically pout like children.

Didn't like it.
I also didn't like it when it came out. I thought the performances were weak, especially the female lead. I have also been lost in the woods a couple of times. In those situations, you don't scream and yell. You just get really quiet and serious. I have spoken to others who have had the same…

Pretty funny.
"You are all witness to the rebirth of Death cab for Cutie"

Wow.
Noel Murray deserves an award for sitting through the whole thing. That is unwatchable.

I think…
…that every time the AV Club makes a Jordy joke, an angel gets its wings.

Ouch.
This looks like a mess of white hot terrible.

I tried…
…but Failed to wine the 20th C Republican award and the Chippendales mugs. It would have been an awesome pair.

Seacrest is an idiot.
Jonah Hill =/= Seth Rogan, even though they both have Jew-fros.

"…But, nobody else seems to mind, so…"
I mind John, and I refuse to watch Casino Royale because of it.

Missed the boat on the name.
Why not Leni R. Tobias?
…or Sophia C. Tobias?

Two sides of the coin.
While Montel never bathed in the detritus of American society like some of his colleagues, he is largely responsible for promoting the con artist Sylvia Browne.

Nice
Nice review, Nathan. I enjoyed it.

As Edmund Burke said…
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil movies, is for talented people to participate in them.

Thank God…
..that Stallone is addressing the serious lack of noble Aryans killing the menacing dark-skinned people of the world. I almost lost my Rudy '08 erection.
