Yeah, good point. I thought of that after I submitted my comment, and it kind of made me regret posting. I just always have a strong negative reaction to the "[thing] no one's never heard of" thing.

You're cool, Modell, but using "[thing] you've never heard of" pejoratively is the sort of shit I expect my A.V. Club writers not to do. Most regulars to this site love all kinds of stuff that no one's ever heard of, so to speak, and I'm sure we all know that no one ever having heard of something doesn't make it…

Disney's Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue

I was going to post this almost exactly. I used to think people posting comments like the above were faking to appear empathetic, but having kids changed that. I think I broke the seal when I cried at my daughter's birth. Now I can get teary-eyed about pretty much anything.

A word is any short combination of sounds that communicates a meaning.

Same here. I had heard very little of them before this album and I expected to dislike it, but I loved it immediately and listened to it compulsively for a month. It's still my morning-run music.

I hated this song as a teenager because there were a few years there where I didn't have any friends at all (moved around a lot, was weird and shy), and I felt that the "take comfort in your friends" line was just rubbing it in. I could tell the song was supposed to be comforting, but it actually made me feel worse.

The hardest part is stopping everything else and sitting down and writing. Once you get past that, just keep your ass in the chair and get through it. Don't think about the other things you could be doing. There will be plenty of time for that crap. Just think of how great you'll feel when the work is done, when this…

Before September or so, I don't like when people say some song or album is one of the best songs or albums they've heard this year. They always hide the "this year" thing at the end of the sentence, so that my thought process is always like, "Oh, one of the best songs ever? I need to hear this now! Oh, this year? Oh."…

I agree that NPR is the best big American news organization, but to me it has the same problem that NYT has: it's an earnest attempt at unbiased news coverage, but it still embodies the perspective of 60-year-old, financially comfortable moderate liberals in big cities. I prefer this perspective to the overtly skewed…

You're allowed to talk about multiple things in a single comment.

Nice job with the internet comment.

I did that exact thing a year ago when I was anticipating what was surely going to be an amazing season for the Rockies. Yadda yadda, I don't like baseball anymore.

No.

"Bowery" off "Hard to Love a Man" is possibly the saddest song I know of. God damn it.

Oh yeah, Chris Hardwick? Well, I have a WIFE. Beat that.

Shit, I'm behind. I didn't know we were hating Wayne Coyne and the Flaming Lips now.

That's why I call him "the god." In any case, the pronoun capitalization is bullshit.

Submarine movies are the best, especially when they spend most of their time in the submarine. There's something about the confined spaces that I find comforting, as a viewer, even as bad stuff happens to the characters. I'll definitely watch this, despite the C. I didn't love the Harrison Ford one that also had bad…

No Yo Gabba Gabba! for Best Tantrum Tamer is bullshit.
