My high school drama teacher was an extra in this. I have nothing else to add.

Well, Wu-Tang is for the children after all.

I didn't hate this at all, probably has to do with this review lowering my expectations. I feel like it told the story of Jordan's minor league exodus well, but it wasted time building the strawman of "everyone thought this was a bad joke" that apparently isn't backed up. I was about six or seven when this…

I don't even
when the fuck did american life turn into the last page of Day of the Fucking Locust?

hey, it's like a weight loss commercial! Before, and Way Before!

I was actually talking about the Twilight Zone episode of the same name, but that is a good episode. Something about Hamlet quotes in titles, I guess.

you picked the wrong twilight zone
No Perchance to Dream?

Blurry: I thought about adding detail but liked the mystery that a simple list left. I am pro-Apocalypse Now and anti-Dr Phil, for the record.

Arguments with both my parents:
Sonic Youth, Dead Kennedys, hip-hop (my mother insisted on knowing why Jay-Z was allowed to steal that Alicia Keys song), The Mentalist, Family Guy, pro wrestling

I liked Christopher, but the furthest I'm willing to go in any Sopranos criticism is "not the best." I'm not the best person to ask on these questions, really.

When the live version of Kill Yr Idols this article mentions ended up placing in the Pazz and Jop poll that Christgau was boss of, Christgau decided to re-re-title it "I Killed Christgau with my Big Fucking Dick (And Now it Don't Work No More". Christgau ended up being one of their biggest champions in the music…

I think he had very little to do with the show, but JMS is obviously a huge fan and gave him a credit as a present for not suing. Fun Fact: In the first season Ivonova is reading a fictional autobiography of Harlan Ellison.

The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" helped me get over a literal fear of the dark as a young child and helped me grieve a friend when I was 19.

The Replacements are so fucking great that it astounds me that not everyone I meet is a Replacements fan.

"How many people have to die for your personal growth?"

Yeah, Winesburg is a superb choice.

It's about Tony's petulance, yeah, but it's also about Melfi having a price, because she just takes the money and pencils him in for later that week, instead of I don't know, getting a restraining order.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that Tony is completely blameless. Just that there is enough resistance and enough danger in living the moral life to keep him in this thing of ours. If he was as strong as we all imagine ourselves to be, I'm sure he could break free. But he isn't, and we probably aren't too.

Zach: I don't feel like you misread the episode at all. Like another AV favorite, The Venture Brothers, a major theme of the Sopranos is failure, more specifically Tony's failure to act on the good impulses that flicker intermittently. And here's where the spoilers start.
