This is massively underwhelming. Those deluxe reissues that EMI did back in 2009, which the band were totally and vocally very against, were much more comprehensive than this. All the OKC one misses here are the three unreleased songs. What the 20th misses are the complete b-sides. Sure, you get all the studio…

No one on that mission should have been a moron. It was a science/exploratory expedition and as such should have been filled with the greatest minds we have. No one in that crew should have been as dumb as most of them were. There are so many directions they could have gone that would have been fascinating and…

This is SO not worthy of the praise being heaped upon it in this article. Watched both episodes last night and they got nothing more than a couple of light laughs. Briga Heelan is so miscast as the very heavily Liz Lemon-inspired character. I feel like it would have been more successful if she and Nicole Richie had…

"Fluffy and inconsequential" is spot-on. I watched one episode recently and that's exactly how I felt about it. Had no desire to return.

I don't think dropping from where This Is Us's ratings were was unexpected, though. TIU was one of the biggest shows of the year. T&E was never, ever going to get that kind of audience and NBC knew it. I don't think it got much exposure, either, because the only reason I knew about it was thanks to AVClub. And…

They would burn up long before the ground - it would take something really large to pose a real threat and most satellites are pretty small. ISS, Hubble, etc., those might be actual threats. But we're talking within the world of LMoE, and they've already shown at the end of this episode that they're not paying much…

Calling it: after years of no orbit corrections, satellites are starting to come tumbling back to earth, posing a grave danger to the few who are still alive. The group seeks shelter and either stumbles upon the bomb shelter that Kristen Wiig's character lived in, or runs into her and she takes them all to it.

"Erlich Bachman, this is you as an old man. I'm ugly and I'm dead. Alone."

"Being hot." I'm good with that.

I'm glad to see jazz getting another second wind (third wind) in recent times, but I really want to know what kind of jazz he's promoting here. Is this the Wynton Marsalis-approved slice of the jazz genre, or does he acknowledge the existence of jazz outside of Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Louis Armstrong?…

Wait until 5/3. They seem to do this every few months or something. Scrubs goes up for cancellation, and then miraculously is saved at the last moment after everyone freaks out on Netflix's Twitter and Facebook. I've given up worrying about it.

Dude, trust me, I know exactly what you're saying. It sounds like you've heard monos from stereo fold-downs. They are worthless. Those sound awful, like listening through one speaker. A true mono mix is COMPLETELY different than the corresponding stereo mix. It is mixed specifically for mono so that what you describe…

If it's a real mono mix and not just a stereo fold-down, then mono could be quite different. Back then stereo was a novelty and everyone was playing with placing instrument in different parts of the spectrum. It was probably neat at the time but can be pretty annoying today - think of how many 60s songs have drums way…

"8. Genesis… aside from "Land of Confusion" this is textbook bad 80s pop-rock."

This base is shaped like a dwarf planet!

It's not that people want to be uneducated. It's that not everyone learns at the same rate or efficiency, so some advance early while others require more work, and if it's not caught early enough, they never get a chance to catch up because it becomes more and more work to do so - for them and for those educating…

Can't agree. The mini-NES has been played a lot by my kids.

Wind-Up Bird is the one I've seen mentioned most, so maybe I'll give that a shot sometime.
