This case is going to be hindered by the prosecutors getting too bored to pay attention to either song long enough to tell if they're the same.

I think Frank Miller still feels shame, though.

So you're saying it's a wank fantasy with another wank fantasy's hat on?

Thanks for that qualification.

If the one scene in which you're opposite Josh Hartnett he acts the pants off you with one line, you probably shouldn't be starring in this film.

We're escalating our rivalry with Big Bang Theory fans to a 300 style fight against impossible odds, only this time we have hoodies to mask our pale, shapeless bodies instead of red capes and awesome chests.

I've been trying for some time to figure out exactly what I dislike about Beach House, and I think I finally have.  Usually I just complain about how they haven't shown any evolution as a band in any direction (Darwin would be frankly baffled with them), but it's not just that.  I hear Beach House frequently getting…

Advertisers are desperate for that demographic's allowance and lunch money.

NBC is right, I actually might like a show about pirates.  There is a real possibility that this is going to turn into another zombies thing, in which a colorful and hyper specific sub genre becomes so widely consumed that most of what made it fun in the first place gets lost.  But I might be up for some over the top…

@avclub-749a8e6c231831ef7756db230b4359c8:disqus I'm against greatest hits albums in principle because I think they're the musical equivalent of having someone else chew your food for you, but I'd actually be ok with an AnCo Best Of because of how wildly discrepant their highs and lows are, and for how big their discog…

Animal Collective is a band whose discography is pretty much top to bottom challenging, but, as @avclub-5e920dca2fbeb852c6ec52cb2f27af02:disqus pointed out, the songs where they get it right are some of the best songs of the last decade or so.  The problem is that those songs represent maybe 5% of the total number of…

I want to give you a 'like,' @avclub-e2684ea2157a2423b7463536886837b2:disqus, but i just can't forgive the missed opportunity to use 'bodacious' in that post.

By "that crap," do you intend to include a frothy mixture of lubricant and semen?  Because if so, we have a pretty fantastic word for that.

Slutty ghost dogs are the atheist's nightmare.

I find Dave and Buster's prizes to be inflated well over market value, assuming the ticket/cash exchange rates have remained consistent.

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but I think I officially have "super cut" exhaustion.  Super cuts were novel and exciting for a long time because they demonstrated typical tropes and cliches in media that are so pervasive they're hard to notice until they're stacked against one another.  But at this…

I'm still stuck on those fucking magnets, re: how they work.
