Can we talk about how Glover for N64 was THE SHIT?!???!!!

"was that contortionist showing bare vag?"

Holy crap, that song was awesome. Never heard of this band, but from what I've heard, Walkmen are pretty snoozy.

It looks like they were about to name it Renee and then switched gears midway through the thought and started writing Esmee and it just ended up on the birth certificate like that.

Wait… now I'm confused. Are we talking about the song from White Light/White Heat or Coney Island Baby?

I'm not sure I buy that "I Love Women" wasn't tongue-in-cheek. Does the writer also think "A Gift" was earnest?

From what I've read people call it a "Hitler apologia". Like, Ender is actually an allegory for Hitler, and he "accidentally" kills millions of people because his raw talent is manipulated for political gain. Even if that made any sense, it's a bit presumptuous to think that Card was sublimating his admiration for

Oh god I love that Tim Curry episode so much… how can you even read that description and not realize you're in for the best 30 minutes of television in your life?

I'm re-imagining this scene with voice-over from the deranged penguin:

Gucci Mein?

Maybe I'm just out of touch for still associating this classification with bands like Throbbing Gristle and Skinny Puppy, but how are these guys even remotely industrial? I just hear normal goth rock with whiny punk vocals, i.e. what everybody called emo in the 00's.

I talk like I know how he thinks because it would be redundant to write "I think" every time I state an opinion on the internet. STOP ACTING LIEK YOU KNOW ME!!!!!!!

Yup, dead on. After reading the book and meeting him in person a few times at screenings, it's pretty clear that he's so disconnected from reality that he couldn't be "in on the joke" even if he wanted to. And he does want to. He understands on some level that people think it's bad and funny, but he's not really

The Room 2: Chris-R Gets Parole

*SPOILERS* The bad guy locks her in a well-lit room with spoooooky skeletons, which she escapes from within 5 minutes by sauntering around touching random pieces of garbage on the floor until an escape hatch opens.

I like season 2 a lot and think it's definitely better than 5, even if 1,3, and 4 are too killer for it to compare. I think the main problem with it is that it's this sort of slow-burn diversion between seasons 1 and 3, which are by far the two most thematically linked seasons, with 3 pretty much closing up the

I actually really liked Cube last I saw it; the pretentious/ridiculous mix came off as really fun and campy, since it was basically just a game of "ooh, how's this sucker going to die gruesomely?" Splice admittedly had some fantastically entertaining parts (yeah, that sex scene…) but I definitely think there's been

Honestly I don't know why I went to see this; after seeing Splice I can only assume that Natali is trying to steal Shyamalan's designation as "director of all things extremely high concept, yet incredibly stupid". There's a scene where the protagonist, fully aware that she's dead at this point, tries to use a Ouija

This is a really Batman comment. Good job.
