You're an idiot.

Just ignore parts of season 2.  After the show goes all Season 4 of the Wire, it's all good again.

I think the reason the show catches so much praise and criticism is that it's damn honest (aside from maybe some hey-this-is-Brooklyn diversity-in-casting issues).  She is pretty fearless about portraying herself and her generation as a little clueless and spoiled, and mines it for some quality humor.  This either…

Mick was a bizarre kind of hot when he was in his 20s. A random dude who looked and dressed like that wouldn't have much trouble getting laid.

Look, there's always good music being made. There's been a slow decline in the quality of vernacular (nameless garagebands that go nowhere) music, but there's always good music.

One Kiss Can Lead to Another is basically a preamble to Nuggets. All those bands dipped into girl group melodies as often as they leaned on Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry.

Hating James Cameron is the new hating George Lucas.

Philip K Dick wrote mediocre stories around great ideas. Androids is great sci-fi but only so-so literature.

This isn't a list of faithful adaptations, it's a list of good adaptations.

Were you on street corners? Did you belong to a gang?

That article makes me think of my brother. Poor incredibly nice and gentle guy that he is.

Hear hear on the glowing rectangles. It's all too true.

Chuck Jones was a genius. Avery was a master of overstatement, but overstatement isn't the be all and end all of animation.

Jeremy Brett also nails the weird asexuality of the literary Holmes. He's definitely less iconic than Rathbone, but he's closer to the text. It depends on what you value in an adaptation I guess. Some people adhere to faithfulness to the text and vivid interpretation of the same, and some people like the addition…

Something tells me that Now That's What I Call Music 2010 is going to fare better than the 1997 edition. It might be annoying and omnipresent right now, but Autotune pop is amazing. There has never been anything that sounds remotely like it, and it's been ages since you could say that about something in the music…

I think it's going to almost always be the case that no matter how unsympathetic you make your main character, at least half the audience will still identify with him. I'm willing to bet Tony Soprano still had a lot of fans even in the last two seasons. People are going to root for a twisted megalomaniac like Bill…

Hey, yeah, remember when this show was about that kind of shit?

Butt wrenching indeed.
