Venture Bros?
ZH did a great job with it last season. Any chance coverage will come back (with or without accompanying Adult Swim coverage?)

Los Angeles…
…screwed again

Jon Hamm
Did you know the quarterback in this film is played by Jon Hamm? Weird.

I agree with you that predictions about the media are pretty much always wrong. But I do think things have changed. There are very few pop phenomena I could talk with a stranger about, and know they would know what I'm talking about. There are definetly fewer films and TV shows I could have an interesting…

Rebuttal
"I can remember the late '90s, when pop music critics were scrambling to declare guitar-based rock dead and electronica the music of the future. True, rock hasn't made any great creative strides since then, but teen-pop is more guitar-driven than ever, while electronica has gone back to being more or less a…

Prog
I checked this band out because people kept calling them "prog" They are completely not prog. They're fey Euro indie. It's fine, and I like "Comforting Sounds", but stop mislabeling them.

Yo Phipps!
Didn't know where else to put this, but you've been called out!

1963
Looks like a British Invasion in progress at Sterling Coo. Heh.

Not sucking up
This is my number one time wasting website. Congratulations, assholes.

I just read Genevieve's entry. Stereo pranksters!

Scoop Slave
Marianne's Famous Ice Cream in Santa Cruz, CA…I got my first job midway through college, and spent 11 months serving ice cream to tourists.
For the first few months of my tenure, we relied on the radio, which the owner kept on soft rock. But eventually, he gave in and got a CD player, which I soon entirely…

D+
What is the D+ for here? Is it a judgment on how well written the book was, how entertaining it was, or is it just your analysis of the books argument? If it's the latter, is there a better way to grade essay-books such as this?

Gotta say, I came away from the movie thinking smashing the window was unambiguously the wrong thing. Responding to violence with more violence (even if, as Lee points out, it's non-homicidal violence), keeps the cycle of destruction and hatred going. Sal didn't kill Radio Raheem, being white doesn't align him with…

I always imagined Slurm tasting kind of like dnL.

Let's start a petition in this thread! It'll work! Everyone takes internet petitions seriously!

Propel is gross
Tastes so artificial.
Among supermarket-stocked flavor waters, it's hard to seperate the refreshing ones from the ones with the chemica burn aftertaste without trying them.
Propel and flavored Crystal Geyser; chemical burn.
fruitwater (an I-think-discontinued vitaminwater spinoff), Hint water, flavored…

Hijacking this thread to say, bring Vanilla Coke back!

Celtic metal
Cruachan kicks ass! I'm of the school that says the more elfs and goblins, the better. Metal should be stupid and ridiculous for maximum enjoyment.

Better than GK?
To date, I've considered Generation Kill the defining piece of film/TV on the Iraq War. Does this beat it?

I'm agin' it.
This change doesn't bug me on the merits. But part of what's fun about the Oscars is the sense of history, and comparing the Oscar choices of today to year's past. Expanding the field so drastically means we can't stack a 2009 nominee against a 1979 nominee, and say we're talking about the same…
