@LJo1:disqus Benedict Cumberbatch has to be form Oklahoma in this film not because it is plausible but because the Rand Corporation together with the Reverse Vampires have mandated that Benedict Cumberbatch must now appear in all films made the world over no matter how improbable his casting may be.
A quick glance at…

@avclub-cbe8412e7469c2bba155a2a353401e5b:disqus No.  It isn't.

Next week on Hatesong: AV Club darlings Wye Oak on how nothing gets in their craw quite like "The Wheels on the Bus Go 'Round and 'Round".

Phew. I was starting to get nervous that this Cumberbatch fellow was going to be in all of the movies from now on.

Hate to bust your bubble but everyone knows that "Dream Police" by Cheap Trick is the official rock song of Selangot.

Okay, I'll do it.  My dad used to play this one John Fogerty CD over and over in the car.  It had both "Centerfield" and a song called "Rock and Roll Girls" on it.  It was horrible and I hate it and I can't agree with the Dude's love for Creedence on account of it. 

"Tell us mister brontosaurus/ have you got a lesson for us/ if we dropped the atom bomb/ would you say that we are dumb?"

Pffft.  Sam Rockwell isn't fit to carry Craig T. "Coach" Nelson's jock.

With each passing batch of reviews I grow more convinced that Dowd has been sent to us simply to absorb the bile and invective that was previously, and rightly, hurled at Nabin. He is our Judas Goat!

The original wasn't set in Baaahston.  Duh.

I've probably seen Raising Arizona a dozen times and I had no idea that Forsythe plays John Goodman's brother.  He's such a goofy, lovable butterball in that movie whereas he's usually, y'know, a knotted coil of beefy, squinty menace.

Couldn't agree more.  As a midwesterner I've been eating bastardized Mexican food my entire life and it was only upon visiting the southwest that I came to recognize the profound difference between those cardboard tasting flour frisbees I was accustomed to and a real, flaky lardy, handmade tortilla .

I can't imagine anyone who isn't a doobie toking college student actually enjoying those Doritos Tacos.

Thanks @avclub-5f3fb65ba436981668551c26873294e6:disqus .  I've been meaning to get into XTC (I've only ever owned Nonsuch and Oranges and Lemons) but am not sure where to start.

@avclub-8b14f79688c0146367914b8240be4128:disqus I find this interesting and consider it an odd double standard that while there was a total shitstorm over what Jeremiah Wright said from the pulpit while Obama was not in attendance there was absolute and total silence regarding the faith of Mitt Romney during the 2012…

Kind of makes Allan Moore seem like a reasonable, well-adjusted fellow who is willing to play ball doesn't he?

Saw them live twice. Both times they ended with really great sprawling energetic versions of "Sproston Green".  Anyone who wrote them off as fake Stone Roses was incorrect as the Roses, brilliant though they were, were decidedly lacking in focus, endurance, and hammond organ.

Eh, Castle Freak isn't as terrible as you might think/hope but it also is hardly worthy of any cult status. Just be forewarned that if you go in hoping to see a graphic ding-dong ripping off you will be sorely disappointed.
