Particularly a kid with little capacity for critical thought (though I wasn't super young, probably around 12 or 130.

Yes, it somehow manages to be even worse than the A.V. Club's most recent redesign. Frankly, as much as I miss the writers I only visit it about a tenth as much as I visit this site.

I assumed the Dissolve was there but somehow I've missed all of their articles.

Yes, and The Digital Underground.

I actually saw Donita Sparks (that's the lead singer's name, right? Too lazy to look it up) open for The Donnas about seven or eight years ago. She was still pretty awesome. Think the original L7 drummer was with her, too.

I'm sure it's absolutely terrible, but I loved John Candy to death (yes, I'm the one who's responsible), and was a big Ghostbusters fan, and it was just weird as Hell.

It's definitely NOT one of the best, jesus.

I was like 17, so thanks for making me feel slightly younger, you ancient bastard.

I give this my highest rating: a 6 out of 10!

Barney Fife's reaction to that is priceless.

It was ratified by 10% or so.

If only I had access to a time machine so I could skip to the next review.
