What?!

Awesome, thanks! I'll check them out!

I am fans of both those artists!

I've been listening a lot to the artist Shura, who's based out of London. Her lyrics are really nostalgic and fun, and her melodies are pretty infectious. She's also not afraid to get weird; most of her album consists of really concise pop songs, but the last two tracks are ten minutes a piece and veer into stranger…

But Trump didn't want to be president…

He asked Mindy Kaling on a date through Twitter semi-recently.

He's still got a sense of humor. I read this gem today:

That picture looks like Pitt is doing an impression of Will Ferrell's W. impression.

Remember how many people around here shat on the ALS ice bucket challenge? Sometimes it's more important to prove you're above it all than it is to, you know, help people.

It wasn't a permanent ban, was it? He's kind of a staple of the commentariat at this point. I hope his history is taken into account before anyone decides to kick him out for good.

It's a stretch, but I'll allow it.

Seriously. I despise "regular people" commercials, where non-actors all have to compete to act the most impressed by an aggressively normal-looking sedan. The commercial with an actor bringing his pregnant wife to a hospital in a love-powered Subaru is more naturalistic than these fucking Chevy commercials.

"Did you know Chevy is winner of more J.D. Power awards than any other brand of the last three years?"
"What the fuck is a J.D. power award?"

I've said it before, but not only is Watchmen a great film, it's also the most grownup entry in the superhero genre, a fact that belies his reputation (or at least his internet reputation). I also thoroughly enjoyed Batman V. Superman, and liked Dawn of the Dead.

Really? I feel like a lot of the work she does doesn't even get publicity. When my friend was stationed in Iraq he saw her, and there was zero press with her. She also used her fame and cache to direct a film about the Bosnian War - not exactly a Hollywood-friendly topic. Her interest seems genuine to me.

I liked it better than the first. Wasn't quite as funny, but the story felt a little more personal than "mismatched heroes seek orb," so I was more emotionally invested. I did note, though, as another commenter mentioned on the review page, that the plot was highly reminiscent of a certain Futurama episode…

Dude. See Interstellar. In my opinion, it's Nolan's best film. I certainly wouldn't argue it's flawless - it doesn't have much of a sense of humor, and it can occasionally be a little hokey - but it's a deeply felt, personal, and highly ambitious film. For anyone who argues Nolan's films are chilly or emotionally…

It also seems like A.V. Club gave it an overly negative spin with that headline, as well (which, incidentally, has nothing to do with the podcast in question).

I read a review of an Incubus album years ago that's stuck with me. The general premise was that while their peers were angrier and bitter with the world, Incubus was turning its gaze inward, with a more introspective sound and lyrical viewpoint. I feel like that holds fairly true, and add to that the fact that…

Ha, okay, now I remember it. (Laughing at your spelling, not the line.)
