I had a lot of favorite shows - CHiPs, Battlestar Galactica (the original, natch), Buck Rogers, Dukes of Hazzard, the Muppet Show (of course) - but one highlight I remember from the early '80s is that my parents would let me stay up just late enough to watch the opening credits of Dallas. I had no knowledge of or…

I really enjoyed the pilot, but I have to admit I have my concerns about the viability of the concept over the course of a series. I mean, I haven't read a lot of Flash stuff, but I can see it being very limiting that the solution to every crisis is going to be, "Run, Barry! RUN!" This week, he ran in a circle. Next…

I want it inside me.

I may be the wrong person to talk to given that I love The Baroque Cycle, but have you read Snow Crash or The Diamond Age? Both are excellent.

I was such a Ryan Adams mark for so long - Whiskeytown was my Jesus, I would've worn out Heartbreaker from listening to it so much if that were a thing that can happen with digital files, and, hell, I even loved 2003's Rock N Roll. Somewhere around Jacksonville City Nights, though, I lost the thread, and I haven't…

Hey, have you guys heard of this song "The Bleeding Heart Show"?

I'm glad I read the comments before posting, because that was exactly what I was going to say about the opening sequence. It's outstanding. And then it's downhill from there.

Really, this. The Stand didn't stand the test of its own time, let alone the intervening years between then and now.

Where is your god now?

This was the best Hatesong ever. That's a low bar to clear, but still.

Donald Glover should give Pratt a verse on the next Childish Gambino record, thereby completing the sitcom star/rapper-Dre/Eminem lemniscate.

I guess I'm not surprised by all the negativity here about this film - when I saw it in the theater, a chunk of the audience walked out, and many others were checking their phones a third of the way through. I loved every frame of it and it's one of the last movies I bought on DVD before I stopped buying movies. Yes,…

I remember seeing The Fellowship of the Ring in December of 2001, at a time when NYC was still kind of reeling and nobody knew what was going to happen or if we'd all make it through. There's a moment in the mines of Moria in which Gandalf gives Frodo a consoling speech about living through difficult times that ends…

This was the movie that made me realize the horrible potential of Netflix to ruin the positive memories of movies I loved as a child. I was a *huge* mark for The Black Hole as a kid, and when I first signed up for Netflix and realized they had just about every movie ever, it was one of the first childhood favorites I…

Yeah, the shot of her getting into the elevator and flinching when it dings was a nice warning shot, and then it all went downhill from there.

I maintain that this feature would be so much better if the interviewer were a person who actually likes the song in question and challenged what the interviewee had to say rather than sitting there egging him or her on with, "Yeah, bro, this totally sucks!" This particular installment was doomed from the start thanks…

Nothing has given me more hope for the future than the vitality of Bob Mould's last two records. Shine on, you mad, bald genius.

After reading the article, I just have one question: Is what's on that guy's head really what we're considering "good hair" these days?

I came to that recent, illusion-filled video for OK Go's "The Writing's on the Wall" for the visuals, and I stayed for the song, which, yes, I know is derivative and blah, blah, blah. But it stuck with me, likely for personal reasons having to do with the fact that I've been in a position very similar to the one…

Seeing the byline, I already knew how this review was going to end, so it was really hard for me to invest in.
