Exactly this. When I first saw the lineup, I freaked out, because holy crap, The Arcade Fire, Kendrick, The National, and LCD Soundsystem! Then, I got past the first two lines of each day, and found a pupu platter of DJs and underwhelming bands.

The thing is, that character in the book has a really great moment in which (SPOILERS, I GUESS) she stands up to the character Jeff Daniels played, who has been, the entire time, leaning toward not making the effort to save Watney and makes the decision not to do it. I'd say that scene might have ended up on the…

Jeff Tweedy seems really at peace these days, which is great, and the band around him is top-notch…but I have to admit that I've steadily lost interest in Wilco since A Ghost Is Born. The last three albums have all been just fine, but nothing on them has grabbed me the way the stuff on everything from A.M. to AGIB did.

Counter-point: No, it wouldn't have.

I've actually found that true of a lot of the arts. I've worked in theater in NYC for over a decade, and witnessed a guy who had punched his girlfriend in the face and blackened her eye continue to be embraced by the community because he's a talented actor and puts forth an otherwise amiable demeanor. I've even had…

Leslie Nielsen, natch.

I'm not really that into the majority of this lineup, but I'd consider a one-day pass for Friday just to see Broken Social Scene.

And De La Soul is playing Governors Ball. My body is absolutely ready for a '90s conscious rap renaissance.

THANK YOU. I felt the exact same thing when I saw this film. If there had been some conflict or struggle in Eilis's relationship with Tony, or some horrible burden she had to bear living in New York, I might have felt more sympathetic toward her dicking around with several people's feelings over the course of her time…

"The presumed viewer of The Big Short is dim-witted, slow, and easily distracted by bright, shiny, sexy things. "

Came here hoping for "Jurass Finish First." I am disappoint.

XCOM 2 runs like crap on my Macbook Pro, but i'm playing it with glacial load times and all, anyway, because XCOM. So far, by purely random chance, all the soldiers fighting for me are women, which is awesome - I like to envision that my play-through takes place in a future when the men either just couldn't hack it or…

This movie would have been 100 million times better if it had compelling villains. I know it's 'Pool's story, and all, but couldn't they have found some way to upgrade from Generic British Guy #37 and his non-speaking female croney? This was some League of Extraordinary Gentlemen-level bad villainy…although it did…

Step Up 3D ALL DAY.

"(INSERT NOUN DENOTING ANYTHING A WOMAN MIGHT SAY, DO, OR BE) are being sexually harassed online."

I had a dream the other night that Mrs. Palazzo was being hit on by a member of Guided By Voices at a music festival. When I woke up, I was relieved, because obviously, GBV was broken up. Now, I see it was prophecy.

OK, so, I'm a fan of the books, and gave up on this show in disgust after they absolutely nerfed Julia's journey from Brakebills rejection to the discovery that magic actually exists. In the books, it's this descent into near-madness, near-salvation, depression, etc., until she finally, FINALLY can create one spark…

This isn't quite in line with the topic, but I was afraid to sleep after I saw A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (theme song by Dokken). On USA. With all the really nasty stuff cut out. I was a fragile child.

This was alright, but nothing will ever top the one-two punch from the first NFL Bad Lip Reading of the ref (Clete Blakeman, I think?) talking about how he went over to a girl's house and found her entire floor covered with beanbags ("Pick up your floorbags! You're not living in southeast Asia!") and Adrian Peterson's…

Maybe, but if that means we would have otherwise missed out on Yoda's song from the Empire Strikes Back BLR, then I'm totally willing to allow cheating. It's gold, I tells ya.
