Usually when my body finishes self defensively puking as a response to the endless cavalcade of tepid one liners, I'll look up at the TV and if there aren't too many tears in my eyes I'll sometimes remark "Wow, the cinematography is just gorgeous!" Sometimes I'll only make it through like half the sentence because…

Oh man, @avclub-bc68599029928a93ff775e686c3be325:disqus's got Renaissance Fair written all over him.

I also absolutely love Soundgarden, and I'm mixed about this.  Matt Cameron and Ben Shephard's post Soundgarden projects have delivered tons of good songs, but I can't help but feel like Cornell (who's responsible for at least half of the songwriting on each album) really spent the last decade and a half growing…
