April Ludgate would definitely be up there for me. Also, Ann Perkins… sometimes. Come to think of it, it's probably more Rashida Jones herself than Ann Perkins. The same goes for Alison Brie vs Annie Edison.

As far as cartoon girls go, I can't believe no one has mentioned Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. So I will, I guess. Anyone up for Alison Brie playing a live action Faye?

Suicide Club is an interesting point to bring up. It's one of those films that I've always felt was full of good scenes but never quite added up to a great film as a whole. Love Exposure feels much more coherent and solid, even at its epic length.

I've been trying to get all of my friends to watch this spectacular film, mostly through personal screenings I've held myself. Looks like they now have no excuse whatsoever. Mwahaha.

Number one missing item, IMO: Past Life Martyred Saints by EMA.

Am I the only one who thought that Hell On Earth was better than The Infamous?

For what it's worth, AV Club does seem to have better taste in rap music than Pitchfork. But, you know, so does my grandmother, so that's not saying much.

Pssh. Instead of just mashing up a bunch of genres into one, you should just do the honorable thing and play different songs from various genres. Like my band, Cajun Eyeball Soup. Seriously, within one album we have songs that are Heavy Metal, Black Metal, Power Viking Metal, Viking Metal, Power Thrash Metal, Chinese…

This trend of labeling non-rock music rock goes back a long time. Ever notice how the song "We Built This City on Rock N' Roll" is about as far from being rock music as possible? Of course, just because they built the city on rock n' roll doesn't mean that they couldn't maintain it with some other genre of music.

I still use "pop" as a catchall term. Even with "rock," what's considered "rock" now sounds nothing like what was considered "rock" in the 60's and 70's. The biggest difference is that the stuff labeled "rock" coming out now is unlistenable.
