Yukon start your own.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Bravery, Repetition and Noise
Soft Kill - Choke

Old Forester in my household.

My favorite Smiths song.

Another part that cracked up me that I haven't seen mentioned in discussion of this movie is the double-take Gosling gives when the bartender tells him the drinks are free. It's after he goes up to the roof to scope things out during the climax. Gosling just does a killer What'd You Say/You Don't Say kind of

The Gone Girl soundtrack is one of my absolute favorites. "Like Home" = chills.

Cyclops was right.

That's the biggest drawback and my biggest ongoing frustration: I can't reconcile how the Inhumans are being portrayed. There's absolutely no empathy from them towards the group of people they're willingly destroying, yet they're somehow not being shown as awful people. It seems (from what I've read about #1) that at

This is the first season where I've felt that the show was rigged/scripted. Too many conveniences for the pat ending. Adam "found" a late idol. Ken illogically flipping on David.

I should warn you…I go to sleep.

His run on Extraordinary X-Men has been pretty terrible, though.

Ugh. CAZADORRRRRRRRS!

It was so awesome live.

That was insane. You rock.

I thought Deakin's Sleep Cycle would be on a lot more year-end lists than it has been. For me, "Good House" is still the SOTY. It hit in all the right places, and in a year of shit, it's a really uplifting album.

CoS and The Naked Sun are fun reads.

I loved The Fountainhead but Atlas Shrugged was awful.

I read a lot of books this year, but my favorite was probably Paul Auster's Invisible. If you frequent the book threads around here, you might have seen me gushing over it already, but it truly stayed with me long after reading it. The shifting perspectives and what they say about identity was a big draw, and the

What's the secret? Because I cannot stop reading something I hate no matter how much I want to. I always feel like the problem lies with me, and I take it personally in some way, like it's a reflection of myself as a reader.
