"1. The Ring (2002), remake of Ringu (1998)" - the moment where I rolled my eyes and moved on, wrongest of all the wrong hot takes from over a decade again now, and even more wrong now.

No 'Jam For Jerry'? 

Wot no Black Lace?

The ending to Yann Martell's 'Life of Pi' is the worst example I can think of - it just felt like a cruel trick to play on your readers. The film version managed to fix it with a framing device which means you can choose which way to take the 'moral' - which wasn't perfect, but at least it wasn't inguriating.

Semisonic again. What the fuck, AV Club, what the shuddering fuck?

The idea that anyone would think The Shining isn't an absolutely astonishing movie, one of Kubrick's best - just baffling. What's wrong with them?

eXistenZ really should not be in this list. There is nothing "unintentional" about that movie.

You should read it, but don't make the mistake of thinking that Holden is supposed to be some sort of hero. The joke of the book is that he's the biggest "phoney" of them all. I suspect that the reason people hate the book on re-reads is that they are ashamed at themselves for having identified so strongly with him.

You probably needed to take more drugs first.

Bill Bryson - good until you realise he's a pompous windbag who fact-checks absolutely nothing.

When I see people in their twenties listening to Bon Jovi I feel like an old German watching neo-nazi skinheads on parade. The eighties was not fun, please don't take us back there.

Solid A+ this, a joy in every way possible, so dense in construction and performance, consistently very funny and note-perfect.

The AV club has spoken!

Marilyn Manson puts on (or put on, not sure what he's been up to this last decade) a great visual spectacle, but I'd never even consider choosing to listen to his music at home.

sick tats brah sucks

They are absolutely spectacular live.

"Mostly, I wouldn’t last 30 seconds among a dubious sea of sweaty dudes on ecstasy, with unpredictable mood swings." - Sweaty dudes on ecstacy don't tend to have unpredictable mood swings. Really.

It's not. This is - http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Christ, I forgot about that one. I think she's just not very smart. Voice is ok though.
