Maybe they originally intended to retire, and then changed their minds? I haven't consulted the Constitution, but I'm pretty sure that's allowed by law.

No, it's pretty much been a greatest hits revue…which, I'll be honest, did not disappoint me in the slightest. I'm excited to hear new material, though.

I saw them perform in July, and they most definitely didn't piss me off.

Frank is great, but am I a horrible music fan for wishing he'd just kind of flesh his stuff out, more? I feel like the guy saying, 'The White Stripes would be so much better if they had a bassist,' but…yeah, I guess I'm that guy.

Right, but that's the thing - whether she deigns to interact with someone on Twitter doesn't say anything about what side she's on or what she actually, really thinks about anything. It's Twitter, not a formal declaration of one's personal ethics. On top of which, even if it were, that doesn't mean that she owes it to…

The weirdest part about this whole thing for me has been the indignation from the people Schumer has blocked on Twitter after they tweeted at her about this. Like, how dare this person deny me access to their social media presence? As if Schumer somehow owes it to anyone to interact with them online. It's a strange…

But look how serious her face is when she talks! No one who looks that serious can be anything but STONE-COLD COMPETENT.

This is true; the worst movie in the world is, in fact, 2003's Aquanoids.

Well, thank God THAT's settled.

Oof, the Joker in this film was a failure on so many levels, by my lights. I can't even put the blame entirely on Jared Leto, as much as I want to because I've met him and he struck me as a total jerk. The visual design of the character is awful. The way he's written makes him little more than a thug, and not scary or…

That's kind of one of the big issues I have with modern fandom. We (and I've certainly fallen victim to this, sometimes), are willing to dismiss bad scripting, bad direction, bad acting, and even basic filmmaking mistakes (there's at least one scene in Suicide Squad that takes place both at night and during the day…

Show, don't tell: We are *told* Rick Flag and June Moone fall in love. Their relationship plays a significant part in the proceedings, but we have zero investment in it, because all we have of it is Amanda Waller telling us it happened. Why? How? Why should we care? It doesn't matter, because it's two seconds of…

I'm already bombarding the people behind Governor's Ball with requests to have the Electric Mayhem booked for next year's festival. I want to be off my face and dancing outside to "Can You Picture That."

You guys, Shaq isn't doing anything these days, so I'm calling it now: This is a smokescreen for STEEL II.

It fails basic moviemaking. There are scenes that take place both at night and during the day AT THE SAME TIME depending on the shot. At every opportunity, it tells us things and why we should care about them rather than showing us, which is, like, a fundamental tenet of visual storytelling. Its cast is wildly uneven…

Throwing Copper was a great record. I know Live dropped off a cliff with Secret Samadhi and eventually became caricatures of themselves, and it's fun to look back and rag on them now because they were so painfully earnest and that kind of thing is passe (ooh, the guy had a PONYTAIL! BURN THE WITCH), but both that…

Ha! I had that experience with "Gangster's Paradise." Its wave of popularity in the U.S. had just crested when I left…just in time to arrive in Spain when it was blowing up there.

I spent the first 7 months of 1996 living in Madrid as part of the study abroad program for my university. It was fairly amazing. I became fluent in Spanish, got pretty much shunned by all the other kids from my school because I guess I wasn't cool enough to hang out with, learned to be by myself without FOMO and just…

I'm not moving any goal posts. And I'm not saying it's objectively true…but you're the one making statements as to something being absolute truth: "The theory IS generally false," "is DEFINITELY false now." You may believe it's false, but that don't make it so…any more than me believing it's true makes it absolute…

Counterpoint: No, it's not.
