I think a B is fair. Lambert's — or did they change it to Glambert finally? —not producing the most profound music, with deep insights into the human condition, and so on and so forth, but the album, from what I've heard, is a lot of fun, totally unapologetic in its poppiness, and much better than a lot of radio…

Nearly all the best movies this year were kids movies. (Up, Coraline, Wild Things, Mr. Fox, etcetera.)

To Todd: you should really read other critics apart from B. R. Myers. The man is ignorant and I"m pretty sure he doesn't actually know how to read.

The Deadly Syndrome
Entertaining movie and everything but one of the best things: more exposure for The Deadly Syndrome! What a great band.

Just adapt
"Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned." It was the best story in Wells Tower's collection.

Could it be that "The Office" is giving us gay guys a Pam/Erin of our own?

i'd like to add my support for "Unbreakable." It's really the only movie Shayamalan made where everything works. (I like "The Sixth Sense," too, but…). In fact, I'd say until the last 20 or so minutes of "Signs" he was producing things that were pretty good. And then he got an ego as big as Nabokov's or…

Yeah, Klosterman is kind of a bad impersonation of David Foster Wallace, who was really hip without really meaning to be (however, he was a writer who looked at the English language and said, "Hey, language, CNA YOU KEEP UP WITH THIS?!"), whereas Klosterman wants everyone to believe he's oh-so-cool. Just look at his…

Pushing Daisies
Nice to see "Daisies" is included SOMEWHERE on the list, though it really deservs to be on another particular list (being better than some of those inclusions, too).

I agree. I flipped through this at the store the other day and I gotta say, he's a lot more interesting as a fiction writer than non-fiction (sort of like how Dave Eggers is much more adept at writing non-fiction than fiction). How about a short story collection?

I don't think "Ran" is a very strong example of a long movie you sat through without any problems. I mean, Shakespeare + Kurosawa? Doesn't even feel like 400 hrs. long.

So I Guess…
So I guess The Intrepid Cow failed. Which is a pity b/c I totally would have eaten at a macaroni place shaped like a giant moocow.

I think Hulu's going to be streaming it like directly after its initial theatrical run. Goodbye video store.

I I I I Say
Well, now I I I I am just waiting for the reissues of Paradise Lost with these YA angel covers! Or a sudden increase in readership of Chris Adrian novels.

The AEgypt sequence is fantasitc. Although I do agree that the concluding entry was definitley a bit of a hattrick, admitted so much in the prose. "Daemonomania" though is probably one of the most brutal, erotic, crazy hilarious, bizarre, challenging, encompassing, violent, scary, dark, and weird things that…

October 16th
Man, what are they NOT releasing on 10/16? You have Wild Things, The Road, New York…now this?

So Now…
So now that you've chosen "Little, Big," which is totally magnificant, is the AV Club going to review Crowley's new one?
