The organized-crime stuff
The meeting with the mafia-type guy in the empty restaurant was laughably cliche. I was astonished, because up until that point I've found this series refreshing in how it finds ways to be original within formulas. But the way the guy sat there looking sinister in the empty restaurant, eating…

Damn it
The short commercials for this pushed all my American-history-nerd buttons, and I think I've even been gravitating toward American-history movies lately as a result. I'm still waiting for a Civil War-era movie worth watching. Cautiously optimistic about that Lincoln movie with Daniel Day-Lewis.

I've noticed AV Club writers misusing "apotheosis" in place of "climax" or "culmination" a few times now. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what they mean, though.

My local NYC video store only carries shitty movies, and the clerks are dicks. I once went looking for a hidden gem, and after browsing (or "BROWSING") for five minutes, I tried ot rent Hannah and Her Sisters (the most appealing movie I could find) only to find that the DVD inside was Die Hard 2.

Fergie Jenkins moved.
He stuck his glove out at me. It was creepy. Also, I still have a box of early-90s cards in my parents' attic. Sometimes my parents try to throw it away, but I remind them that it's out of their way and won't bother them any time soon since they're probably never gonna move anyway. I think…

You guys should allow editing so that jerks like me who make proofreading errors in posts criticizing word choice don't have to look like such jerks.

I've still never heard this band, but in't it time we stop using the word "twee" as a go-to adjective for every band that has a remote resemblance to Belle and Sebastian? It's even worse when the band is good, as Kyle Ryan suggests. I'm American and probably never heard the word "twee" before a couple of years…

Yeah, I've never watched this show before this season (and I'm only watching now because my wife and I live in a small apartment—though I admit that I've gotten caught up in it despite hating the whole idea of it), and I'm honestly astonished at how often the judges, especially Lopez and Tyler, seem to gush over…

Still working on my list of graded Radiohead albums but I'll be sure to post it as soon as I can. Why do I read internet comments?

I recently discovered that my jam-band-loving sisters are totally into Primus these days. That one caught me off-guard. But I guess it makes sense. I don't think I've heard a lick of Primus since the 90s (oddly, I was into them during my early-teens/early-90s grunge phase), but in my memory they seem all right.

I like Godfather and all, but I'm pretty sure the Rushmore girl is a much better and more attractive person than the OP of this thread.

I think Songmeanings just gave me 500 cookies.

I get sick of every writer feeling like every time they mention Pavement they're required to use the word "slacker" in the same sentence. Pavement were lots of things, but they weren't slackers. Slackers are people who don't make five amazing albums in a seven-years span.

I love this feature.
I'm usually one of those sarcastic commenters, but this feature really makes me feel stuff. It's one of the few things I read online that I actually continue to think about for a long time afterward.

Twitter sucks.

AVClub commenters' personal best-of lists
This comment section is going to be insufferably boring.

I never remember characters' names, but the people I saw get bit, besides the two obvious ones, include: 1) the police officer's wife, 2) the guy was the police officer's wife's boyfriend for a while, 3) the dude at the camp who had asked the old guy about the watch. But they all showed up fine. I was really confused…

I love all the FF albums (except for the live one that I haven't heard). This is one of those comment sections that makes me wonder why I look at comment sections. The internet is dumb.

Stupid student/teacher subplot.
This episode would have been perfect without that stuff. It's a rehash of about five different Julie-related subplots from the past, and it's just plain boring compared to everything else going on. Couldn't they think of anything more interesting to do with Julie? Or they could just…

This series has inspired me to go back to a lot of music that I had pretty much given up on by the time I was 16, and a lot of it isn't so bad. Like, I haven't listened to Siamese Dream in 15 years, but it's pretty awesome, and I'm apparently capable of singing along with every word and humming every guitar part. It's…
