But it doesn't, though. Yes, the name comes up after the guy is tortured, but there isn't a real breakthrough in the case until after the blonde girl pulls that file for Maya (which existed pre-torture), and torture dude buys the spoiled rich kid a convertible. Just because you're jumping from point A to point B…

No, the easy, jingoistic approach is to make a film where John Cena kills the entire Taliban with a flying piledriver set to a Toby Keith song. You should look up words before you use them.

So you somehow went from "the film's ending is ambiguous" to "this is the point the end of the film was trying to make" in the space of three paragraphs? Don't forget to stretch, those were some big leaps in logic.

Uhh, if you came out of that film wanting to enlist in the CIA, then we saw two very different films.

Yeah, but to offer that up as definitive proof that the film is pro-torture (especially considering that line comes long after they've already located Bin Laden's compound using methods that don't involve torture) is taking a huge leap in logic. By those standards, you're basically assuming that every filmmaker uses…

In that case, I'll let you off with a warning, sailor.

Lord knows it's always a really smart idea to definitively predict a film's lasting legacy less than a week after it's release.

Yes. This. Everything you just said.

See, it's not as simple as that, though. (SPOILER) If they hadn't tortured the guy, then odds are it would've been more difficult to convince him that he had given them info that prevented an attack while suffering from sleep depravation, which is when the name Abu Ahmed first comes up.

Okay, Kim Fowley.

Was really hoping to see "Swarovski Crystals" on this list. Oh well.

New Years Eve 2008, for their second encore they covered "Ramblin' Rose" by MC5, "What Goes On" by The Velvet Underground, and "Roadrunner" by The Modern Lovers, with members of The Feelies backing them up. Made me proud to be from New Jersey.

Summer Sun is interesting, it starts out really strong, and then just kind of looses steam towards the middle, but then it ends on that gorgeous Big Star cover, sung by Georgia.

Can we play a Stones song? "Sittin' on a Fence"?

Sugarcube

By The Time It Gets Dark (yeah, it's a cover, big whoop!)

I love their cover of The Whole of the Law too, @avclub-ec160682cb3586d851071e80ec63d6c0:disqus !

It was Electr-O-Pura for me. I have no idea how I ended up getting that one first, maybe I just selected it arbitrarily? I think the moment I realized that I loved this band was the slide guitar solo in "Pablo And Andrea", which still gives me chills. It has some of the band's best songs, but there are a few I still…

The thing about that is, those songs themselves are great, but the way they're just kind of tacked on at the end struck me as a bit rote. As if they were like, "Oh, we're Yo La Tengo, and we haven't done any songs over ten minutes yet on this album, here have two of 'em!"

It's constantly grappling with Neil Young's "On The Beach" for the title of favorite album of all time for me.

"Abortions for all!"
"BOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Very well…no abortions for anybody!"
"BOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Hmmm…abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!"
"YAAAAAAAAAAAY!"
