I wish it was just a goddamn superhero movie, but Nolan is incredibly insistent on making super-serious superhero movies, which worked quite well in The Dark Knight but seemed kind of silly and, yes, a little wrong-headed in DKR.

Well, I was just joking, I really don't have much of an opinion on this topic since I'm pretty ignorant of current music.

Wow, super-overexposed pop songs Gangnam Style AND Call Me Maybe both made the list?

The Skyfall song (like the movie) was weirdly popular, and a huge radio presence, unlike other recent Bond songs. Every time I heard it playing on the radio I thought "Wow, this must be what it was like during the heady days of 'Nobody Does It Better.'"

Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks. 
Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third.
