Tab? I can't give you a tab unless you order something.

Love the fan theory that "James Bond" is actually a code name, and everytime a "James Bond" dies (or less likely, retires), a new guy is given the name. Skyfall kinda put a wrench in that, but it makes a lot of sense otherwise.

Saw Toadies a few years ago at Lollapalooza. They were great, but I won't lie. I thought the same thing then I am thinking now:

Season 19 opens with an AVClub review that's already been posted.

"…and then Aerobicise comes into it."

I saw them in 1995-ish in Villa Park, IL. Three bands with Everclear headlining (pre-Santa Monica, but post-Heroin Girl, so just at the level of fame you need to headline a show in Villa Park I guess.)

Mario Party, Smash Brothers and Mario Kart are stories from the World Olympics, which historically began as countries decided to reduce war by using sports to settle competitive rivalries.

No it isn't. (he says, in his best John Cleese voice)

Counterpoint: If you loved Return of the Jedi, and you didn't mind the feral, cannibalistic teddy bears, then American media-related "feminism" is very confusing and frustrating, because you have an imagination that is adept at mixing serious and silly things.

Yes, because children love subtlety and nuance.

Say what you will about Stephen King's Dark Tower series, but the constant "The world has moved on" refrain is a pretty succinct way of capturing the ennui of getting older.

Kinda weird because it's not exactly a typical "depressing" film - there are affecting moments where tragic things happen, but there's bits of humor, "cool" stuff, hopeful uplifting moments, and even a happy ending of sorts.

Simple: If you're gonna bang one Spice GIrl, you have to bang all the Spice Girls.

The first Great Job Internet to live up to the name…

There's nothing theoretical about punching Adam Sandler in the face. Ask Bob Barker.

Trump demands birth certificate, claiming that West was actually born in Kanye.

WRONG. There are 72 teenagers in Heaven. And, as I was promised, they all play Magic: The Gathering.
