I'm not a fan of Lennon's post-Beatles career, but I do like that song. I don't think there's much assholery in that song…he's just saying hey let's end this really effing terrible war. And saying "war is over, if you want it, now" I take as directed not at the public, but at the president and world leaders, who

Never really listened to the whole song before. I think this song survives solely on the 10-note melody of the chorus, which is actually a good melody. But everything else about it is indeed remedial and disposable.

For over 20 years, I've been unclear on what a Bryan Adams is and what a Ryan Adams is.

I like all three songs. Although Dylan's is the best.

They're a lot more similar than just those two words. Stewart later admitted he stole from it subconsciously, and split the royalties with Dylan.

And all 3 Creeps came out in the span of about a year.

Oh my god, the Hendrix video is hilarious when he's in his last solo, and camera cuts to the crowd - a bunch of teens that couldn't possibly look more bored. Jimi's up there killing it, performing cunnilingus on the guitar even, and the audience is falling asleep. They're like the students in Back to the Future that

It's also clearly supposed to be toward the end of the school year, hence their discussions about college and Ferris' number of absences.

The movie came out 29 years ago, the date the movie takes place was 30 years ago.

The converse would be an upright guy and a whimsical girl, which has been done to death in the form of manic pixie dream girls.

A to Z: AV Club's most skippable articles.

I thought it was weird that everyone was totally cool with Tormund bashing their leader's skull in. Like "oh, it's that easy to become the new leader?" Or maybe just nobody liked him very much. I know the wildlings don't have a king, but they do have a council of elders; you'd think they'd respect the organizational

What was the deal with the hooded rowboat operator? They conveniently had 1 rowboat left for the heroes that none of the anonymous wildlings took. And he's just sitting their totally chill, looking like Charon, not worried at all about the approaching horde of zombies.

People were being animated without a walker even present. Which is why the Night's Watch had to burn their dead, even within their own fortress. So why was it supposed to be surprising that the Night King could do that? Just ominous and intimidating more than surprising I suppose.

I won't like it if the show depicts Ramsay with even more superpowers than he's already got. I mean, this isn't a king being assassinated by his mother-in-law while he sits unaware and complacent at a feast. This is a king who is wary, mid-battle, whose tent probably lies in the center of 15,000 soldiers, with guards

When the White Walker walked out to the end of the pier, I totally thought he was going to freeze the water below his feet as he walked across it. Seeing as how they can insta-freeze + shatter their opponents' weapons.

When I was a kid in the 90's, the consensus was that Huey Lewis sucked. They were lame department store music that grunge was supposed to have supplanted. Then sometime in the last 12 years (after American Psycho maybe?) they started getting looked back on fondly again. I still think they suck. It's just boring

Good I'm glad. I like the mystery stuff and the existentialism. I don't necessarily need occult to be a part of it.

I thought it was going to be a TV spoiler, but I'm already caught up so I kept reading. Boy was I wrong, oof.

At an internship I had when I was 19, I made one of these out of a big sheet of cardboard, a paperclip, and a pencil. There were 5 of us interns around the same age that ate out together, so this made it easier to decide. (Except when you spin Taco Bell for the 3rd day in a row, then you've got to veto it.)
