I think 8-noon a lot of places is Diane Reem, who sounds like she is about to kick the bucket at any moment. I hate listening to her, because I'm always afraid she is going to die while I'm listening…

I'm that guy
Yes, I'm the guy who constantly says, "I heard about this thing on NPR the other day…" Yes, I realize that it annoys people, but I really can't help it.

As a current employee of the federal government, I can assure you that the only thing that is rewarded in the long run is mediocrity (hence me commenting on a pop culture website during work hours).

Full Metal Jacket
As someone who was in the military, there is another layer to that shift - when you are in basic training, they purposefully make it seem as though the really silly games you are playing and minor humiliations you experience (like high school, but with more guns, shouting and non-fun-nudity) are the…

Tina Fey ripping her shirt open was cool and all (yes, she's attractive, but no, that bra was not), but where were Salma Hayek and her two glorious, glorious friends?

Jesus this is a huge comment section

One other thing - I thought James Franco's performance made that movie, along with Josh Brolin…I thought Sean Penn was pretty good, and Hersch was just terrible.

I completely agree - Milk was not a good movie. Actually, scratch that: There were two movies - one that was just about the little moments in Milk's life and his relationships which was awesome, and another that followed the big events in Milk's life. The second movie ruined the first one for me.

Spoon - my go-to band when I just need some straight ahead poppish-rock. Also, Eagles of Death Metal, Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, and fuckin' Tapes 'n Tapes.

Monk is the best of a very specific and very made-up genre: the only-watch-when-in-marathon-and-you-are-home-from-work-sick-with-no-movies-to-watch-and-you-don't-feel-like-watching-porn-anymore show.
