you get some kind of negative-award for putting "modern" and "surf the channels" in the same sentence

Common consensus always seems to be that Lost sucked for most of S3 until finding itself for the final stretch—typified by that episode about Jack's tattoos (which is terrible) and "Expose" (which is decidedly not terrible)—but that tattoo episode is bookended by "Flashes Before Your Eyes" and "Tricia Tanaka is Dead",…

So all those drama acting awards (except Malek, obviously) are belated character achievement awards, yeah?

I'll follow Radiohead wherever they wanna go, but I really do love when they sometimes drop the *ahem* "pretentious art rock bullshit" and suggest they could still pull off pop if they cared to. It really earns the weird stuff, somehow.

There is literally (at least) one scene in each successive third of Moonlight where I sat there thinking, "This has to be the scene of the year."

He was unambiguously a hero on the show, maybe the most straightforward good guy since Ned.

I'd argue that the vivid horror of that moment in your memory is actually because they left so much to the imagination. Watch it again and, aside from the truly gruesome moment of blood squishing out of Oberyn's eyes, there isn't a lot shown. You definitely do't see the head explode, as you seem to be suggesting.

My review of Moonlight is that it's fucking awesome. Five Stars, A, whatever. See it wherever you can.

Actually?

An interesting aspect to this story that I'm noticing is the sense of… a kind of betrayal(?) by the film industry and probably especially the Black film industry (see: Gabrielle Union's eloquent op-ed on the subject).

He's terrific in this.

Has to be true. I think he's going to say "big" every time I watch it.

It's a microcosm of what a lot of pop culture writing has become.

They did this with CD drives too and it actually was a successful, bold, forward-thinking decision that a lot of people hated at the time… But yeah this is stupid.

I've carried a 4S around in my pocket for the past 4 years and never thought it was too thick. Go back to that size, pack the rest of that extra space with battery so I don't get stranded without juice every day before dinner (and give me a fucking headphone jack, obviously), and I'll buy another.

thank you apple for inventing 200 dollar headphones that don't last a whole workday

(new girl is good)

Snowpiercer is less than the sum of its parts but those parts are cool as heck.

I don't want to be reductive but I've seen it offered elsewhere (and Alston name-checks the show in the review) so:

The feeling I had watching that ambush in the tailor's shop (I think?) must be how people felt watching the Fonz waterski.
