Follow it up with Liquid Swords instead of Wu Tang Forever.

They made a rock star pay taxes that they didn't.  I'd say they're pretty powerful. 

He's lost! he's 1,000,000 miles from home and he's scared. He's afraid. He's lonely. There's no one here that's like him. You would be afraid, too! He's an alien. He's different. But I still love him. Late at night, he sleeps in my bed. And boy does he fuck me good! He makes me scream with delight. He's a frightening

My high school band was better. We wrote a song about having sex with an alien!

The first person I ever kissed was a poster of Leia in her gold bikini at Jabba's chamber as a five-year old hidden under a blanket. Well, maybe "person" isn't the best word.

I'm still a little put-off by the use of "retarded", and it seemed like they were making Tobias actually homosexual, like with the bodybuilding magazines, and something with a date with a guy, and that's not really as funny as him innocently thinking that "Leather Daddy" is when a father wears leather.

@avclub-ea93d61158b479315c8e0d4cd003ec35:disqus I was expecting the same thing.  The Netflix format is destroying the conventional TV Club protocol.

Not only do I think the storytelling would suffer, I think they would be disappointed at the numbers the movie pulls in.  The fanbase is rabid, but it's pretty small. Don't look for a $30 million opening weekend.

Ooh, excellent, because I needed a little extra time to come up with a concept, find funding, write and direct it, find actors that are not stop-motion-filmed Star Wars figures, edit it and mix the sound. I don't need any extra time to decide that I will do it, though; I've already decided that I will do it. 

I like this album enough, but it's no Metal Magic, that's for damn sure.

I agree with that song's sentiment (I'm not as cool as I once was), but I agree with this song's even more (I was never really even very cool).  Plus, I enjoy being married much more than I did being single, because I was a anti-social weirdo who could never meet people (girls) in the bars.

This is my favorite Talking Heads song.  I like the band and most of their albums, but this song is tops for me. 

I'm a monster!

Because time travel was "so illegal", yes, they wanted to cut all connections to their contacts. Again, the existence of that rule in that universe exists only to propel the plot.  How can bodies be difficult to dispose of? Why is time travel so illegal?  The fact that such huge chunks of plot are hung upon

I hope you're including Looper in there.  I felt a lot like I did in Inception, where there are scenes where they're just spelling the rules of the universe out for you, but at least in Inception (which I still did not like), they were doing it to another character.

And that Anthrax skit was hilarious.  It wouldn't have been as funny visually, but the descriptions of the alphabet girls audio-only was great. 

Favorite: Taxi Driver. This character is a psycho and a sadist, but, because we live in such a violent society, he is lauded as a hero. Most of the movie is spent trying to make him abhorrent, but the turn is that this society actually values those bad characteristics.

I'm in the same boat with Game of Thrones. I don't have HBO, and they do such a nice job with the audio and video at HBO that watching it any lower quality is sort of a downer. I'll be on board with you S3 people next March!! Although I've already read the books and know what is going to happen.

"outing" as in gay? Didn't he marry a model for a few weeks?

How is Lorne Michaels taking responsibility for all these shows? Isn't he like 70? I always wondered SNL's plan is to replace him when he quits.  Apparently no one else seems to be worrying about that.
