I'm 23, and very excited for the times when my favorite songs of my youth make the jump to being part of the "classic" canon.

For me it's not so much appealing to younger demographics so much as just shifting the time period: Classic rock is almost a "genre" in a way you seem to be grasping it, but Led Zeppelin was classic rock in 1995, 20 years after, so now 20 years from the present day is becoming the early '90s, and thus, that is…

I didn't see the show but wait, did we not spend enough time being puzzled that Chris Rene got criticized for apparently performing the original, superior Stevie Wonder version of the song Coolio co-opted for his own (admittedly good) song, a song that works specifically becaus of what Wonder brought to the table?

Nope, just the only one that was that effective (and/or the only horror movie I saw in that super-loud state-of-the-art theater, baha). I love plenty of other horror films, just never saw 'em theatrically.

Aww crap, this is just a giant recap, isn't it? I'm only a couple paragraphs in, but I ALREADY WATCHED the episode, so I really don't need to hear exactly in minutiae what it was about.

Truly a great example of how trailer creation is an artform unto itself: the trailer for "Anonymous" is GREAT: spare, menacing, visually intriguing. But the TV ads have made it look pretty stupid, and the reviews have all taken it as stultifying and terrible. What a bummer. Was looking forward to this from a purely…

Big up to Tasha, "The Ring" is the only movie to scare me. I saw it in a state-of-the-art theater, and it had me CLUTCHING THE CUPHOLDERS.

"I don’t know why Stephen Sondheim having a “bro off” while wearing a
Terry Bradshaw throwback sent me to the floor in hysterics, but I do
know that I don’t care to overanalyze it" See everyone! He's learning!

Yeah, I thought that's what this was at first too, that it was going to be one of those "this actor almost ruined this awesome movie for me". I think the topic as it came out is more interesting, but man they had a lot of consternation coming up with a sensible title.

Now he's dressing like his own sister and abusing himself.

When I was 10 I saw "Extramarital" with Traci Lords on HBO and there's some murder that freaked me out for no reason. I'd be really into seeing that again. I bet it's really cheesy and hilarious and not disturbing at all.

She does have a lot of "pretentious theatre kid" in her (when she doesn't have…other things in her), doesn't she?

When I first saw it, I thought it was "big movie stars you can't stand in small-screen roles you liked them in", which yeah, I thought was pretty randomly specific of a topic. I like Apes' concision better.

That looks to be Marah Eakin, and I understand that it's always hard when you find a treasured/cherished/favorited film underwhelming, but as a critic, it's also your job to not be completely patronizing about it.

It's soakingly atmospheric, it creates a wonderful sense of place, it's generally well acted, and its plot doesn't engage in any of the handholding that his sentence would imply. Yeah, the plot takes some overly circuitous assumptive routes, but it's not like you can't tell me that "Mulholland Drive" doesn't do even…

I definitely prefer "Mulholland Drive", but I do think they're two of the best films of 2001, and regardless of their audience, the films themselves are both atmospheric, intriguing tales of life, love and loss.

I think he's a smart, intelligent writer, clearly, but I think perhaps he's trying too hard to come up with sort of lengthy contextual analysis whether he actually has anything actually relevant to say, like a review isn't worth it if he doesn't hit quadruple digits on the word count. If he found some intriguing new…

I've never liked John Semley on this one specific AV Club write-up. His smug implication that somehow he was above the other kids in his high school because he liked Mulholland Drive while they liked Donnie Darko, as if they weren't both wonderful films or if that made him somehow more developed intellectually, it was…

Megyn Price is one of those women I have been so randomly smitten with since the first time I laid eyes on her when I was like 12 on "Grounded for Life" that I''ve watched much of what she's done just to see her do it, and yet, I had no idea she had a show that was on the air, much less in its SIXTH SEASON. As…

What's that whole edict about "review what it is, not what you want it to be"? Last week had way too much overanalysis and this week continues by basically taking the episode to the woodshed for all the specific, in-depth things you specifically would have wanted it to do in the way you would want it to be written.
