    I've been rewatching some of the movies with my 6-year-old son, after not having seen them for many years. The misogyny is plain to see. They don't only insult and chase women. They occasionally hit, push, and generally physically abuse them, too. They also do this to men. However, it stands out more to me when it's

    Where does it say that? I read the amendment and didn't see any mention of the VP.

    "For the record, every site I write for runs ads or publishes sponsored content (usually both), so I understand it’s just the name of the game these days. And as readers, we’re all just as responsible for its existence as the media outlets who publish it."

    The book is fantastic. I strongly recommend it. There's one or two jokes that fall flat, but otherwise, it's a joy. The introduction alone is a hilarious short story.

    Is this just being released in the US now? I'm abroad and saw it a little while ago. It's not great, but I liked it more than D'Angelo does. I hate romcoms, but this one did things slightly differently. And there are some good lines and wacky scenes. The cliched "guy-running-for-the-girl" big ending is terrible and

    That's hilarious, if true.

    Oh, it was here all right. Before he quit.

    I first heard Pat Benatar's cover of this, which is OK and has a great guitar solo from her guitarist/husband. But when I heard Kate Bush's original, I was kind of blown away. I've rarely had the feeling of being both disgusted (by the nails-on-blackboard voice) and intrigued at the same time. Anyway, it lead me to

    A famous British horror - I assume she expected most (or many) Brits to recognize the sample. The movie itself is tame by today's standards and a bit cheesy, but still has some fun parts.

    Definitely a terrifying book cover, especially after reading that story, which to me was the scariest in the book.

    I'm kinda with the people defending this list. The vast majority of songs here are (temporarily) blacklisted only because the words might seem insensitive ("I feel the earth move under my feet") or imagery that would make people think of the attacks. Some I wouldn't have thought of, like Jump, but I bet if a station

    I honestly don't understand why the AV Club hates this song so much. There was an article on it by Rabin a few years ago, and now this, and plenty of references in between. Seriously? My take: It's a nice-sounding song with silly lyrics. That makes it better than 90% of the dreck on pop radio.

    Sometime around 5 was when my son started to get seriously influenced by his classmates and friends about what's fun to watch on TV, what toys are good, etc. (Not music yet, thank God.) Peer pressure and group status starts in earnest around this age. He became especially very aware about which kids played in sports

    This is truly a great song. The type you want to replay immediately. First to find clues to the mystery, and later just to enjoy the whole family scene.

    Can any music people here tell me if the Saw theme in this clip is actually in a major key? It still sounds minor to me.

    I saw the video of Jessie's Girl when I was a little kid. It blew my mind.

    I prefer David Bowie's "Shut up!" that ends "It's no Game".

    I have nothing against him personally and I even grant that he has done some quality stuff. But since, oh, I don't know when, everything he does sounds the same, and is also boring.

    I also used to think that book-Lex was too cartoonish. But then I reread the book after I had kids, and I had much more sympathy for her. I don't really remember the details, but I think she was meant to be written as a child dealing with her parents' divorce and not wanting to be in the park to begin with, as well as

    Did Beavis and Butthead ever watch this video? It's perfect for them: Crazy cheesy, with fire, explosions, costumes, and 2 hot chicks.
