@avclub-9068bfb1ee2a95f6b79d071f3c70b40c:disqus, yeah, I think every high school had the one history teacher who was sort of had the potential to be a Bill O'Reilly.  The qualifications are mainly that you're vindictive without being talented, coherent enough to come up with a reading of American history that accords…

I don't want to needle you, but what did you like?

That was one of the most aggravating things for me as well.  Everything about them is a matter fashion, from the frontwoman's leather jacket to their Marshall stacks.  It's strange to think there were periods in that in the 80s when having a studded leather jacket meant you may have gotten into fist fights with cops…

Sleigh Bells is quite possibly the nadir of the counter culture right now.

I know that taste is ultimately subjective and everything, but it does drive me a little batty how critical opinion about The Doors has completely reversed in the last 20 years.  How can a band go from being seen by the critical community as a hall mark of modern music to be ranked in the pantheon of rock and roll…

I prefer "eNutz."

Throwing in my support here as well (and not to brag, but I'm kind of a big deal around here*).  I'm not into autoplay unless it's on YouTube.

Oh man, I'm so flattered you asked!  I don't really do any serious blogging, but I do have a tumblr, where I very occasionally post short essays: http://davidjamesritter.tum…

Oh god yes, why on earth wouldn't you?

Dissing Cage won't bring back your goddamn integrity!

Clearly its going Legally Mad.  At this rate, this'll end up in one of the Dresden Files.

I'm completely ashamed I didn't figure out Zodiac. I need to hit the pop culture gym!

Amelie is terrible.  I had to sit through it several times to be a good boyfriend, but oh man is that movie long. 

Wait, how is V Vertigo?  I really like that movie, and I'm kicking myself for being baffled by the connection between it and a bunch of spinning V's.

Whoa, that's terrible, @RegularGonzalez:disqus.  I hope everything turns out alright for you.

[Plugs fingers in ears] Beach House is still cutting edge!  BEACH HOUSE IS STILL CUTTING EDGE!

Nah, they all took off with the tumbleweeds after the second song.

Maybe someplace where Family Matters?

The mayor of Brooklyn is already aware of your transgression and is pedaling his fixed gear so hard that his ornamental kiffiyeh flew off.  I think you can get the chair for saying what you've said.

That may be, but its vitals are fading fast.  They'll have to rush it to the ER.
