It's nice to see an AV Clubber actually stand up for good music that's not hipster-approved. Kudos, Steve, that was ballsy and I for one am with you (pretty much exactly, given the specific albums you mentioned).

Two of the weirdest responses I could possibly have imagined to a simple statement. I guess it's just too obvious to have been worth posting in the first place.

I like Hulu well enough, but…
diversification is a good thing. I don't think anyone is well served by one site dominating a given media type.

The notion of Prince of Thieves as "unmemorable" is totally incomprehensible to me. It may not be the height of cinema, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. Hell, Alan Rickman alone justifies the existence of the film.

Let me put it another way:

You know what BSG needed more of?
Drawn out conversations between inconsistantly drawn characters about poorly thought out metaphysics.

I find the notion that anyone found Charlie sympathetic kind of odd. Given the chance, I'd have shot the murderous little shit in the face.

BIGGA KNIFE!

"Yeah but Hand of Fate was such a good episode, how can you complain? "

" I like the complexity; I like the world-creation as much as the jokes."

I was pleased to see Jackson comment that there was an excess of backstory this season, since that's exactly the way I felt. Far too much self-serious story telling, not enough genuine fun. I appreciate a carefully constructed character arc, but the most interesting set ups in that regard (Rusty's "am I a bad person"…

When the DVD's started coming out I went to an episode guide and determined which season was the first wherein a majority of the episodes were "meh" or below. IMO, that's season 9, so I bought the first 8 seasons on DVD and stopped. There are good episodes after that break, but they're farther between (especially out…

They're somewhat better than the even-more-horrible episodes surrounding them, but calling them "among the series' best" is just flatly preposterous. If anything, this inventory's conveniently proven that "Tomacco" was probably the last episode of the show worth watching.

It retroactively damages previous episodes by evidencing that every spiritual or prophetic plot thread in the show, and there are tons of them, is completely meaningless because the writers didn't have a clue what they were doing with them. That does, in fact, make the show as a whole much, much weaker.

Definitely an F
Hell, that was so terrible it actually retroactively lowers the grades of previous episodes. Nothing answered AND a horribly stupid ending AND trite moralizing. I regret having watched the show after that disaster.

Dancing is forbidden.

If I care enough about a movie to watch the special features
…then I probably like it enough to own it anyway. I can count on one hand the number of times I've watched special features on a rented DVD, so I don't see this mattering much to me.

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
No question. Despite going to see it at an odd time of day weeks after it's release, the theatre was sold out beyond capacity and my wife and I ended up taking turns sitting on the floor (in the handicapped seating space) and in the only available chair. This might have…
