I like this album a lot, but I do agree they haven't achieved the potential they flashed on their previous two efforts. I always find the subjectivity of music reviews to be most clear when it comes to pointing out specific tracks a reviewer likes. In this case, I absolutely dislike the song Bad Habit and think it…

Looking at the review scores on the right of the page… either every movie is mediocre/bad or the A/V Club needs to lighten up a bit.

I wasn't literal with it. We all know that Jesus would never get away with saying stuff like that nowadays. I think he'd be smart enough to know that, too.

He's the best. Seriously. Like a modern gay Jesus.

Unquestionably? C'mon, let's cut the steadfast proclamations down a bit. TMV fans are close to split on Deloused vs. Frances, and after that it's pretty much a shitshow in terms of who likes what the most next. Tremulant can't really count as a 3 song ep, can it? Besides, the songs fit chronologically into the middle…

They are one of my favorites, too. I give this an A-, I think it's fantastic and probably my favorite since Frances.

Don't buy that Katara has romantic feelings? I'm a first-time watcher and haven't finished, but I thought this was settled in S2 when it became clear she DID have romantic feelings for him. That was the point of the conversation here, too. So she and him could communicate their unspoken but mutual romantic love for…

There's a difference between adapting a megaselling book and an obscure book. Following the book closely is a requirement for the former in order to avoid commercial failure. For the latter, taking liberties to make it a better translation to the big screen is a good idea. With that said, I don't think a strict…

What about Work It? When is that coming back?

I'm a firm believer in the feed's otherworldly capabilities. But, one correction: those snippets of dialogue aren't accidental, the Russian who created it had it set up so that it pulls script from web sites that make sentences or partial sentences as to avoid being banned by Twitter. Pretty sure it was Gawker who…

Every other sketch seems to be based on oneupsmanship, a common thread since the sketch where they were MLK Jr. and Malcolm X trying to get the crowd on their side. It's getting diminishing returns for me, but still find it enjoyable.

OH, and being in New York is the #2 driving factor. ESPN purposely puts stories on Sports Center based on what people want to see/hear. New York, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles drive pageviews and bring eyes to the table. A big reason the company has gotten a rap for being East Coast-centric over the years is their…

There's absolutely no question that if Jeremy Lin's name was Jeremy Long, he was black and played at Harvard, he'd have received 50% less coverage than Jeremy Lin. Anyone who believes that race isn't the primary (NOT SOLE)  factor in the overblown media coverage, is delusional. I'm just thankful he's not white, or…

You got Chris's quote wrong, he said "I didn't like it as much as that other thing you said."

CNN is reporting earthquakes in France. The epicenter is Jim Morrison's grave.

Underrated
Afterglow and Black Gold are both fantastic songs, too. I don't get why people aren't on the Antidotes bandwagon. Between Olympic Airways, Heavy Water, Two Steps Twice, Electric Bloom, The French Open, and the two non-Antidotes singles that you might as well play along with the record (Hummer and…
