Dot Com, this need you have to be the smartest guy in the room is…off-putting

Danny McBride in Eastbound and Down is the perfect choice.

The spiritual heirs to Face/Off are Crank/Crank 2.

Randomly enough, I've seen parts of Con Air in both Italian and Spanish. That movie does not require any subtitles - the visuals tell the entire story.

Their young children's programming is also superior to everything else I've seen.

I keep coming back to this GQ article from 2012:

This is the perfect Internet video.

After reading the "other notable…" section, I realize I watched A TON of action movies in 1996.

This is one where my answer will probably change next week…

This is pretty close to a perfect album. For some reason, Alameda stuck out as one of those songs I could have SWORN I'd heard before…there's something about the vibe that makes it feel like it's always existed.

Run-DMC's "Sucker MCs"

Totally agree! I also enjoyed the "I love you!" shout in the parking lot during Gordon's speech.

After making the AV Club's Best of TV list the past two years, I decided to dive-in on Halt and Catch Fire.
