Gravediggaz
The supergroup featuring RZA and Prince Paul always seems to get overlooked by Wu-Tang fans, but Gravediggaz debut 6 Feet Deep is full of twisted lyrics, dark humor and amazing, cinematic beats. For further forays into horrorcore check out Kool Keith's sick Dr. Dooom project.

Maybe the Mayans were right
If the world really is going to end in 2012, the ongoing oil spill crisis is probably opening salvo.

This is the definitive "grower" band
It may be cliche to describe this band as one whose music grows on you, but it's absolutely true. I was fully prepared to dislike The National after everyone kept touting Alligator, which to my ears sounded dull and listless. After a few spins I started getting into it, and when…

I want to live in this movie
Rock 'n' Roll High School is an agreeably cheesy Corman flick, one that's abetted by its portrayal of an alternate universe where the Ramones are (extremely accessible) rock stars who incite mild cases of mania in high school kids.

A friend of mine also really wants to see Rambo take on the Predator, so apparently there's a lot of interest in this idea. Both franchises are shameless enough for this to work — make it happen, Hollywood!

Other great 80's T&A flicks?
It might belong to a disreputable genre, but this good-natured romp remains a fantastic time capsule and perfect beer & pizza flick. They simply don't make 'em like this anymore, and watching Spring Break is like uncorking a vinatge bottle of wine from 1983.

I'm in a movie with Danny Trejo
That's my hand you see filling a soda cup in "Modus Operandi", a movie I've never seen but I can tell you that the director is a tool. He spent the vast majority of his meager budget bringing Trejo on board, probably money well spent.

I like this guy okay, but…
It feels like his fifteen minutes is almost up. He'll get older, and some up-and-coming "it" nerd will replace him. Next thing you know he'll be sharing an apartment with Jon Heder just to split the rent.

I have it on vinyl
I never listen to it. It's mostly good for showing off to pretentious record geeks like myself.

It's a lock
Juno will play Lisbeth Salander in the American version.

Worth a mention
Don't forget his kick-ass mayonnaise. WAY better than Miracle Whip.

Why did Grindhouse fail?
I worked at a theatre that showed this, and I can tell you that audiences somehow didn't get the concept of a double feature. Instead of selling single admissions for the whole presentation, we started selling separate admissions for the two quasi-features. I can tell you as a former box…

Tainted Love
What's with the Soft Cell-referencing album title? Does he bust out the synths on this one?

I Was Hungry But There Were Cannons
Sounds like the name of a Liars album.

Judging from the comments, this sees to be a pretty good show. Even though I haven't seem it yet, I would say: Yes! Seem it now!

Skip the glossary
When I first read this book my edition didn't include a Nadsat glossary. Instead I derived the meanings of the slang words from their context, which was confusing at first but by the end I had it all worked out. This process enriched my reading experience and gave me a deeper appreciation of the…

I selected A Clockwork Orange for a book report in high school. My teacher told me I misconstrued the ending of the novel, even though I explained that I was drawing conclusions based on the 21 chapter edition. That dumbass teacher didn't know what the fuck I was talking about.

People tend to single out "Rain" as Ringo's best drumming, but for me it's gotta be "Oh! Darling".

Urge Overkill
I can't really argue with the singles "Sister Havana" and "Positive Bleeding" from 1993's magnum opus Saturation, both songs should have been massive summer hits. But the album closing ballad "Heaven 90210" always floors me and I consider it the band's finest moment. UO was often accused of being more…

If it's on Wikipedia it's gotta be true. Like the page about my 12-inch cock.
