Slow clap, Internet!

Good call - there was a subtle pause in his facial reaction

From a previous episode, but him yelling "YOU DICK! YOU DICK!" to blood boy the other week was one of the best deliveries of the season.

1) Fuck yeah, Doom!

"One after Magna Carta! As if I could EVER make such a mistake!"

A great example is the early bar scene in Talladega Nights, when Cal's asking to win. Ricky declines, and Cal goes, "I'll just bury it down inside!"…then follows-up the extra beat of, "It's painful…but I love you!"

Sub-article: favorite Metallica/Slayer solos! Because Hammett and Hanneman bring the pain on so many different songs, it's hard to choose just one.

Kickstand is like Soundgarden's "Nic Fit" - an awesome band decides to rock the fuck out for a minute.

His nonchalance about it (and everything, really) is perfect.

Great Gus line or Greatest Gus line?

I love everything about this movie. God bless Yuen Woo-Ping for having a sense of innovative AND effective fight sequencing. Yes, the action in Crouching Tiger is eye-catching, but the viewer always has a sense of place.

This album is a perfect example of when a band's talent matches its ambition. Pablo Honey to The Bends demonstrated such growth, and OK Computer somehow continued on that trajectory.

Dark City is outstanding, but for a series called "A History of Violence", The Matrix - and its awe-inspiring fight scenes - rightly gets discussed here.

After a week, I'll go with DNA, Feel, and Fear

I'm responding as someone who loves all of the artists you referenced (and GZA is on my Mt. Rushmore of rappers)…

What more is there to say about Kendrick? Every other rapper is fighting for #2.

Great call on Priests' "JJ"! That song needs to be on a "mixtape of the year" feature.

Yesterday, I finally listened to something other than that album…it'd been on repeat since Friday.

I love that both he and Schoolboy Q can rap over SO many different beats and make it sound like their own.

1) I can barely comprehend Kendrick's 5+ year run from late 2012 to today. It's an astonishing collection of 3 albums, an leftover EP, and guest features.
