Steve Earle made great music when he was a hellraising psychotic tweaker.  Now he's clean and making horrible PC music about homeless people and how awesome Greenwich Village is.  Steve Earle, emotionally at least, WAS the people he wrote about.  All his new music sounds like fake liberal garbage, made without any…

The problem I have with what you are saying is that Justin Bieber should not be considered acceptable music, even for an 8 year old.  I do not consider myself the most cultured person on the planet, but when I was 8, I was listening to Iris DeMent and Lou Reed's "Rock n Roll Animal."  Justin Bieber is not kids music,…

Still waiting I presume?

Strange, but I that people who find American Dad funny would never, ever watch a move like this.

Which one?  In most of his movies he is strangling at least one of his partners.

Is Steven Soderbergh so old that part of his canon is now "vintage."  I enjoyed the movie, whether it had anything worthwhile to say I will leave to congressmen and douchebags to decide, but I thought it was very funny.  It was also a movie that grew larger in my mind in the hours after I watched it, which is also a…

I hate apple so much that I will probably watch this movie for sadomasochist reasons.  
I cannot wait until Samsung and VirnetX join together to bring this beast down.  It will be death via circuit court.

This should have been titled: "The socialist case against Breaking Bad."  The attack on Skyler is probably the biggest piece of blatant nonsense in this review.  If I hear another person praise the "democratic" nature of The Wire, simply because there are more characters in it than in Breaking bad I am going to vomit.…

How is this an example of white people problems?

As bad as texting while driving is, I am pretty sure the worst thing I have ever done was execute a sale of a moderately sized option call using my TD Ameritrade thinkorswim app while negotiating rush hour on Highway 24 going toward downtown Oakland, about a half mile past the the Caldecott tunnel.  I had set my phone…

It;s not really dark if there is no contrast.  If you were raised in a sewer, would you think your home smelled like shit?  This movie is a sewer, and people are mistaking the smearing of neon shit on the wall for aesthetic complexity and depth.

If that is really what is behind the title, than this maybe the dumbest fucking movie ever made.

I have always thought that no one under the age of 50 has the right to despise the Eagles.  Too many people have watched The Big Lebowski and failed to comprehend the craft that went to orchestrating the Dude's likes and dislikes.  The Eagles made some great songs, even if they were overrated…40 FUCKING YEARS AGO.  I…

Hey, what can i say, it was a "defninite" demonstration of my 11 year old brain at work.  Although this 11 year old's thoughts were just a response to a 12 year old's understanding of symbolism.

Elephant Man FTW

"It struck me as a definite take on Oedipus…" well, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh.  Did it take you 4 years of liberal arts education to learn that a man sticking his hand into him mom's intestines may be symbolic of something when it happens in a film?  Next you're gonna tell me that the hyenas marching scene in the Lion…

Except that when Lynch manages to wander not too far off into Candyland, he is capable of making beautiful, coherent movies with real characters.  There is more emotional complexity and depth in the cries of the dino baby in Eraserhead than there is in all the movies made by this hack.  The only thing that saved Drive…

"Reading the novel is much more satisfying than thinking about the novel."   So does that mean Stephen King's books are not for people who want to think, reflect, or in any way engage with what they are reading?

Pretentiousness and sentimentalism are similar.  Both assume a level of seriousness or intelligence that hasn't actually been earned.

The best line in the Matrix is during the interrogation of Morpheus
