Man, I can't imagine reading that book on a Kindle. I mean, it's not as weird as, say reading Tristram Shandy on a Kindle, but Infinite Jest is still very much a book that was written to be in book form.

Goddammit, that quote originated from Baudelaire not The Usual Suspects! It really bothers me when people don't take advantage of a perfectly good opportunity to be pedantic!

People filming with iPads just crack me up; what a clumsy and idiotic way to film something.

During the David Byrne St. Vincent concert, there was a recorded announcement before hand by Byrne saying the exact same thing (though, more politely and idiosyncratically).

No, you need to pull out his tongue, not pluck out his eyes. Haven't you ever seen Titus Andronicus?

There's really no debating that; despite the incredible quality of Grim Fandango, it's commercial failure really couldn't be ignored. Indeed, as @avclub-7f0d5ceefd00ad8303401bdcf213eb83:disqus pointed out, adventure games had been dying for awhile before Grim Fandango came along.

Apparently you're looking at the wrong "greatest games" lists.

As long as Grim Fandango came out before the studio was closed, it would've been fine. Looking through what they released after Grim Fandango is pretty dismal.

I can't like this comment enough.

It's like that video was designed to be as disappointing as possible: Yeah Yeah Yeahs! Lily Cole! NSFW!! All those things should combine into something great, and yet they were all disappointing in unique ways.

You'd think you'd wear your hair short if you were trying to avoid enemies who have a tendency to clutch at your head.

And yet, sadly, you did respond to him.

Brad Pitt did exactly what he needed to do in that movie.He was playing a ridiculous character. What else would you want him to do?

I was shocked when I was told by a doctor that you almost never remove a bullet from a gunshot victim. Having apparently watched way too many action movies, I said, "You leave it in there?! Why?!" He looked at me with bemusement, shrugged and said, "Why would you take it out?"

I like the fact that Cletus' very skin is Houndstooth. They may as well paint the streets in a houndstooth pattern down here; it's fucking everywhere.

Here's the thing with pirating stuff that this "price competition" argument generally forgets. Pirating stuff can be a real pain in the ass. So, sure, I can steal the new Game of Thrones for free, but I have to wait for someone to record it off of their TV, then encode it, then start hosting the torrent. And of…

I think it should be required, that if you're going to say something is part of a series, the next part of it should already be in the pipeline. Michael Gira, of Swans, released an album as The Body Lovers called One of Three soon after Swans split up, and apparently quickly lost interest. Now we'll never know what…

Wait, two ten song albums equals 20/20? No, two twenty track albums should equal 20/20.

IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!

I'm picture The DUKE's monocle falling right the fuck at some point during those 15 minutes.
