I don't generally like Kevin Hart (his comedic sensibility doesn't always connect with me), but he had a pretty good line about how everything seems like a good idea when you're coked up, but no one in history has ever made a good decision on cocaine.

What movie were you watching when you lost your virginity?
Arachnophobia.
Theater or drive in?
I… What's a drive in?
You're good.

When I bought the special edition of train spotting on DVD I was startled to discover that certain lines of dialogue were different (ie more Scottish sounding) than my old VHS, including the opening monologue. Also, the sex scene was about one second longer. So score.

Dun be sich a wide-o.

This is a popular conservative rhetorical strategy that is very effective for abdicating responsibility for social problems - arguing that "the people" need to change their priorities. That is often the case, of course, but politicians use as an insidious form of anti-leadership. Pulling a nasty quote from that…

Do you suppose Elvis Costello will be invited to the funeral?

Clearly what kendynamo is trying to say is that the ends justify the means. In this case the means are Margaret thatcher and the ends are "Britain is no longer inan economic downturn."

Well, things like torture don't appear out of nowhere, and they don't happen just because some nutcase gets off on them.  Reasonable people are capable of hating each other, and violence is one expression of that feeling.  A movie like Django Unchained gives us lots of people to hate, and then lets us watch Jamie Foxx…

Yep, one might even argue that violence can evoke different, even opposite, responses depending on the context in which it occurs (with simulated violence in a movie often being fun rather than nauseating).

"Punk rock is largely pose."

Also a blow to the neutrality of the piece: the face that the feature is called "Hatesong."

I'm with you, @conditionals:disqus  - the feature is called "Hatesong."  If you want to argue that the whole concept is flawed, fine; but don't accuse the interviews of being superficial and unreasonable when the word "hate" is right there in the title.

Poor Polaroid.  They paid out the nose for product placement in that song, and it still couldn't save them.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON???

Weirdly, they were arguing about plot-holes in The Hobbit, and @avclub-b20754d0f1e8ae843e00a8b39a667112:disqus thought banging her would make a difference.

If the United States Postal Service went on tour, I'd probably stay far, far away from those venues.  To all accounts, mail carriers get SHITFACED.

If you don't think @avclub-fd11043c50c15f9e700a52b3f00136f8:disqus is funny, you really need to check out his original standup.

"You don't know what the fuck you're talking about, digital media is a bunch of bullshit.  Check this shit out!"
