"Love Shack" does suck.  I'll take "Roam" any day - lyrics far less annoying, and 100% less Fred Schneider.

Because they don't really understand why they hate the song, so they hate first and sit around making up reasons later.

This place.  People like to make jokes here.  Most of these jokes have quote marks around them.  It's cool, you'll figure it out.  Or you'll find yourself migrating back to the comment section at Salon.com.

Agreed.  There clearly was no punching going on (although unfortunately and ridiculously, this probably still qualifies as "assault" legally speaking).  He wrestled with the guy for a little bit over the camera.

One of my very favorite movie quotes.  His disgust and boredom as he delivers that line is a thing of beauty.

The trailer for this movie just makes me want to watch "True Grit" for the fifth or sixth time.  In fact, I think that's what I'll do this weekend.

Wait, dude… are you from NEW YORK??

@avclub-8ddc2bfdb3ada3f99bfb02ec06d1be4d:disqus  - no, I realize he was known (he was right there in the mix with the founders of that scene, obviously), and his style was certainly distinctive.  However, I feel like the notoriety - first from the church burnings, then magnified times twenty by the murder - may have…

"Loosely" is a generous word.  Ed Gein provided a nearly equal amount of inspiration for both Norman Bates and Buffalo Bill, but if you didn't know that in advance, I don't think you'd rush to put their movies in the same category as TCM.  I'd say more of that movie is fiction, or drawn from other sources, than…

They're not all bad.  The good Plasmodium falciparums take care of their kids and are very well-spoken.

You magnificent anti-Dentite bastard.

It's alright.  I really have never thought Burzum would have been remembered as a major black metal act were it not for the crime of the century bizness.

As our resident underground metal snob, I'd like to say fuck this murderer, his racist blog, and his overrated music.

People are still saying "there's no there there"?  That expression needs to jump off a tall building and land on a long razor.

Ehh.  "Based on a true story" is built into horror's DNA, going back to the urban legends that fuel so many horror movies and novels.  Smarter viewers and readers will understand implicitly that the tag is usually misleading, if not outright fraudulent, but that didn't stop it from effectively selling genre classics…

I had to go as far as the obscure site known as IMDb to find all of these:

Yeah, I think that's correct.  The previous appearances make it pretty clear that he's her brother but Perry's bestie.

"And then Manthis Garputheon gave birth to her twenty-first child of rape in the heart of the godswood, and wept copiously for it was stillborn and stolen from her into shadow.

Next you're gonna tell me that knowing who Robb Stark is and why Walder Frey is mad at him are important to getting the full brunt of the Red Wedding.
