I would watch that.  It'd probably be ten times more interesting than BATTLE EXPLOSION BOOM BOOM BOOM BATTLE EXPLOSION THE END.  My head can only take so much BATTLE EXPLOSION before I give up.

People are already tired of this movie two years before release.  Zach Snyder has to be thrilled.

Pretty sure Kanye didn't seek him out while the guy was just idly standing around sipping a latte.  To reverse engineer this thing, the paparazzi knows that Kanye hates people and has a temperament.  They know what they're getting into when they shove a camera in his face and yell at him.  He instigated the thing, not…

After it happens for the 500th time, I'm betting that wouldn't be your reaction.

Most people are vapid and uninteresting.  I don't see why Taylor Swift gets shot for being those things.  If you listen to almost any conversation occurring around you, you come away thinking, "What the fuck is wrong with the world?"  The number of people who are interesting is far outweighed by the number of people…

Bob Dylan is many things.  "Pop music" is not one of them.

Except today's tweens who are eventually going to run for office are none of the tweens you know.  They are tweens from political families who have money and send them off to private boarding schools.  When said tweens become twenty-somethings, they'll be at Yale or Harvard or some other school with an old-sounding…

I take all Hatesong with a grain of salt.  Even if you dislike a song, it takes a lot of effort to actively hate it, usually too much effort.

BETTER CALL SAUL.

Bitch bitch yo yo yo yo yo bitch yo bitch yo bitch BITCH yo yo yo yo yo yo bitch Mr. White bitch yo.  OK, I'm ready for 'Breaking Bad.'  LET'S DO THIS THING.  BTW, one of the most strangely endearing things in the show is that Jesse still calls Walt "Mr. White."  If I'm remembering correctly, there's only one time in…

@avclub-3f5380bb675dc58c512ecc65878e3e14:disqus , I understand that Paul wasn't trying to make a big statement and that he put out a ton of anthems with The Beatles—songs that were staggeringly good.  When you stack the three starting solo efforts up against each other, though, one of them is not as substantial as the…

Yes, but one song does not an album make.  I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anybody who puts Paul's first effort on the level of those two albums by Lennon and Harrison.  Not that I have anything against 'McCartney.'  Very enjoyable album, nice and relaxed in tone, etc..  As something substantial, though, it…

I'm not saying that if you're writing a biography, you should make up things that didn't happen.  Just that inevitably, biography (and almost all genres of nonfiction) use many of the same tropes and constructs as fiction—character, scene, plots and through-lines, etc.  Taking what you learned in an interview, or what…

Some authors use creative license in nonfiction extremely well, in a tactful and respectful fashion.  Some don't.  Trying to put a blanket rule on it and saying, "No creative liberties should be used when writing a biography" is extremely limiting to the writer.  Biography and history are hard genres to approach if…

I dig Macca and I agree with the sentiment that he's probably underrated as far as solo Beatles go.  For one thing, he's released so many more albums than Lennon or Harrison (just by virtue of not being dead) that there's far more material to sift through.  It probably didn't help his image that his first solo album…

Movies graded C or thereabouts are yer classic "If I'm under the influence or bored and I see that it's streaming on Netflix, I guess I could give it a go" movies.  They never feel like a waste of money, then, because you can always just hit the back button and watch something else if it's awful.  Whereas if you pay…

I've had this for a while and was thus disappointed when I clicked on the Newswire album expecting this to be a new track to a new album.  This feels like some spin-off of NBC's old 'If You Haven't Seen It, It's New to You' campaign, back before things like "Netflix" and "Hulu" and "DVR" made the idea of needing to…

Would you tell Shakespeare to just pass 'Hamlet' off to one of the interns?  Would you tell Picasso that one of the interns should take the brush?  Would you tell Michael Jordan that it's cool when he takes the last shot, but even cooler when Bill Cartwright does it?  Would you tell One Direction that one of the…

A week ago, I had watched zero episodes of 'Breaking Bad,' but thanks to Netflix, I was all caught up by last night.  Thus, no matter how many mistakes Netflix makes in the universe, I will always love it.

I don't think Walt went there to bargain.  I think he went there because he knows that despite the fact that Hank is correct, Hank has nothing that could actually convict him in the court of law.  I think he went there purely to threaten.  It's a bunch of conjecture and circumstantial evidence on Hank's part.  Nothing…
