Liked for memories of coke snorted out of a Coke can and helicopters magically crashing through ceilings at juuuuuuuuust the right time. And pus, lots of pus.

Are you an out-of-work A&R man? Is that why the most cogent portion of your argument boils down to, "It's sad that we have fewer professionals to tell us what we should like"?

I think you're conflating two arguments here, and it's not really helping your case. Yes, the economics of the industry are f***ed, and no, there shouldn't be an expectation for someone in Prince's position to give his art away for free.

Years ago, Katherine and Richard Young were grad students at NYU, studying the intersection of psychosocial disorders and sweaters under the brilliant Professor Alexander Merino. Idealistic and deeply in love, they believed that they could create a sweater so comfortable that it would make mental illness a thing of…

Shannon and Morton are sweater fetishists, "harvesting" their son's hair to make the ultimate cardigan.

I read these novels extensively in middle and early high-school, which, coincidentally was also the last time I watched MTV with anything approaching regularity. 15+ years on, neither have left any lasting impression on me. This seems like a match made in heaven!

At the risk of going down the semantic rabbit hole here, the quote draws a direct comparison between Beach House and the Beatles, and implies that, while their songs and lyrics are new and different, neither their nor the Beatles' fundamental "sound" changed over time. That may not have been the intention behind it,…

I can't decide the biggest problem with this quote. Is it: A) Beach House comparing themselves to the Beatles, B) The suggestion that every Beatles song / album sounded the same, or C) The utter contempt for anyone who'd like to see this band expand their horizons?

I was about to post this exact same thing. This scene gets me every time for reasons I can't explain — I still watch the video from time to time when I need a pick me up.

I see where you're coming from, but I think letting students dictate curricula based on their personal beliefs is both dangerous and untenable. Being challenged is essential to learning, especially at a university.

Yeah I'm starting to think the same. This pattern of opting-out of, or railing against, anything and everything that might challenge your beliefs or offend your sensibilities seems to be split pretty evenly between diehard conservatives and SJW's in this generation.

I like this much more than either of those albums, which, by your own logic, completely invalidates your opinion. Sorry about that.

I used to like Emile Hirsch — I always felt like he was a very talented actor just waiting to break out in a big way. But I also know the victim in this case, and the visceral physical reaction I now get when I see his picture or read about this incident is really making me question why, in the past, it's often been…

The lyrics are self-consciously ridiculous, but the version of "I am a Wolf, You are the Moon" over the closing credits is really quite a lovely song. Craig Wedren is quietly the MVP of this series — his soundtrack is perfect, and every song sounds like a half-remembered hit from the era in a way that comes across as…

I have issues with heights as well — though less pronounced than yours from the sound of things. I watched this nearly a decade ago, and I still have flashbacks to certain moments. Great doc, and I recommend it regularly, but I'm not sure I have the fortitude to sit through it again.

The love-child of Ted Cruz and Will Forte.

Rick and Morty is coming back on my birthday! This is the best present I could ask for. Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!

Two Brothers. It's just called Two Brothers.

"Woodsman" demands a place of honor in our cultural lexicon.
