Or getting to the end and being depressed.  My wife and I watched the whole run this summer, and the last episode was hopeful instead of sad, because we knew the new season had started production.  But how will I feel when this ends? Why is life just one end to the next end???

Nothing wrong with that…

Panda Bear's Person Pitch is similar to GZA's Liquid Swords in that that solo work is superior to anything done in their group.  There's no rapping about papal children, though. And 36 Chambers is still really solid, while I guess I would choose Merriweather Post Pavilion as their best if forced to choose, but more as…

Best Star Wars game?  My vote is X-Wing.  Sorry, TIE Fighter fans.

That came out at the fever pitch of my Star Wars nerd-dom.  To get that game I had to:
1. buy a CD Rom drive and install it in my older computer.
2. install more RAM so my older computer could play it.
3. fake sick at school AND my job at the grocery store the day it came out.  Then I stayed up all night playing it.

I'm not putting my lips on that.

Totally agree.  The summer of 94, I spent reading the Zahn novels and playing X wing.  I saw a Star Wars shirt in a store and was so surprised that I bought it immediately. 

You're not first, but the fact that you referenced those beloved games… aw, I can't insult you.  I loved how hard SESB was.

Seriously.  One of the things I liked about the "older" writers is that they were around my age, with similar influences and milestones.  It also seemed like the aging process occasionally played into their writing: how do you handle adjusting your pop culture tastes as you get married, have kids, etc.

In Argentina, the principal for the school I worked at was a notorious potty-mouth around town.  She used a vulgarity once that burned its image into my innocent brain:
"¡Me cago en la concha!"

Yeah, the pain of losing MB (and Leonard, RIP) was lessened somewhat by the fact that something similar yet different took its place.  What is taking this article's place is… "The AV Club's regular music section"?? NOOOO!!!!!

No, I think the video on the Thin Red Line is great, as well. I just neglected bringing it up because I wanted to make a point that, even though lots of reviews said the audio for the Criterion disc was one of the top audio mixes of the year, it's hard for me to judge loud audio mixes.  I have an above-average sound…

And the girl from The Wizard! 

When my wife went through a Malick phase, we went through all of the ones available.  The visuals on the Days of Heaven disc are demo-worthy; it is jaw-droppingly beautiful at times.  The audio on Thin Red Line is great, but, to be honest, I think most loud action movies have great audio.  It's better with something…

So by the time this comes out, we will have had four sequels in six years from Pixar. I have to think everyone was pleasantly surprised by Toy Story 3, but I just can't imagine either of these next two being anything but rubbish. The unique stories of Wall-E and Up are dead. Long live the marketable retreads.

I need to go do the Talking Heads catalog again.  I did it a year ago, and was surprised how out-there Remain in Light was.  People during the 80s must have had no idea what they were listening to when they first heard that.  That's an album that I sort group with Swordfishtrombones, that sound so innovative now, and,…

All the best bands are affiliated with Satan.

I, too, love that Pablo Honey and Bends period. There's a lot of great B-sides from that era; "How Can You Be Sure?" is probably in my top 10 of Radiohead songs.

I was in a gardening store on Friday, and heard "High and Dry" on the radio.  First I thought, "Wow, Radiohead is playing over the PA! How did that happen??"

In Rainbows is awesome, but I don't know what "a long time ago" might be for you.
