Guess I'll be the lone dissenter: A-, seriously? I thought this episode sucked. It was boring and not particularly funny. I know Lin-Manuel Miranda is a big deal and all, but this is one of those times when I think the narrator was too close to the subject for it to be much fun. I'm not tuning in to see

I've got a great… er… "recording of indeterminate origin" from this tour and he does indeed sound good. Kind of wish maybe they'd waited a bit longer to record the album.

Don't forget that Bruce also had and/or was recovering from tongue/throat cancer during the making of Book Of Souls. Up until then, he was pretty damn close to the vocal qualities of the 80s. I don't know if he'll get back to that due to the damage left behind, unfortunately. But I also really like the lower voice he

"Doctor, question that's always bothered me and a lot of people: Mayflower, combined with Philadelphia - a no-brainer, right? Cause this is where the Mayflower landed. Not so. It turns out Columbus actually set foot somewhere down in the West Indies. Little known fact."

Well, I'll disagree on Arrival - it was the best movie I've seen in quite a while. It was a really beautiful story, something that is very unusual for a sci-fi film. I too read the story earlier this year and actually feel that, overall, they've significantly improved upon it. Chiang's writing is quite cold and

And removing her nipples and vagina impacts the film how? I'm not familiar with the original material but I can't see how this changed the story or character at all. Not bowdlerized then.

Look at it this way, you at least got a bunch of paper and some cardboard out of the deal. If it sucks to read, just use it as scrap paper or kindling.

You're so cool! How do you handle being yourself?!

How come the one guy only has one eye? What happened to his other eye? Someone wasn't compassionate to him, that's what. Or does he just keep it closed most of the time, like a pirate with a patch, so he can adjust to the darkness quickly? Gosh, this IS going to be interesting!

If by "just" you mean "six and half years ago" then yes. But seriously, it does feel like maybe just a little bit superfluous, but had they not marked their final tour with some kind of documentary, it would also have seemed weird. I can't imagine it'll top Beyond The Lighted Stage, because that was such an incredibly

Wire - really depends on what era you're talking about. Which albums are you getting rid of? I get little out of the early and middle period albums (154/Pink Flag/Chairs Missing and the whole 80s synth-y period) but starting with 2003's Send and continuing through this year's Nocturnal Koreans, I love 'em.

That's really not an unpopular opinion. Lots of fans prefer the first 8-10 years. There's definitely a line that was crossed between Moving Pictures and Signals. But that doesn't mean it's not great, rewarding music after that. It's just different, but it's still as uncompromising as ever before - and maybe more so.

Couldn't anyone who checks out a band and then decides it's not for them say something similar? (I really don't get this anecdote/subtle insult.) Rush fans are extremely dedicated and wide-ranging in age. You will literally see a pretty even spread of ages from late teens to 60s at concerts. And they all love ALL of

That's not a robot. She's a real human stewardess. Not even really sure how anyone would take her to be a robot. Unless we're not talking about 2001 here, but I can't imagine there are many films with space-stewardess who walk upside down on the way to the moon.

Anna Kendrick sure is pluckable.

My willy is food?

QUADROPHENIA?! One of the best albums of all time, and easily the best concept album of all time?! Where I've kind of worn myself out on much of the Who's catalog from overexposure, I keep coming back to Quadrophenia and it somehow gets better with time. Such an amazing piece of work. Put it back. Put it back in the

Shout! Factory already has a channel for Roku, for those of you with one. It has ads, however, and they are pretty annoying. We watched some MST3K shorts and they actually interrupted some of them for ads, which seems pretty ridiculous given those are, what, 10 minutes long?

First four for me - the "early African" phase was incredible and weird and dark.

She was - I think this was all prior to the surgeries to alter her appearance into some sort of mish-mash of all the things that made many other women attractive separately, but on Pamela Anderson all at once, which is a freak show.
