Is this thread the written equivalent of this film's central premise?

Funny.

How did you watch it? Isn't it still in theaters? Are you a…pirate?

He didn't give it Zero Stars, he just refused to rate it.

What about Maria Bamford's guest spots? Those are pure comedy.

All right AV Club, this shouldn't be that hard!
Sharna pax and get the poal—the book-club voting poal, haha!—so we can pick a book and get our copies—and I can stop feeling such overwhelming and illogical anxiety every time I come to this site and see the long-promised poll still hasn't been posted.

I can't wait to read this!
There is so much exciting stuff being done in history-writing lately, whether it be in a literary like with this and Nicholson Baker's HUMAN SMOKE or with new methods, like the comparative method in the new NATURAL EXPERIMENTS OF HISTORY that Jared Diamond edited. This looks right up my…

This thread should get an article of its own. Something like a summary of the various viewpoints expressed here, some historical and musical context, and then a final paragraph in which the AVC staff agrees with me about everything, because Aerosmith has done nothing but suck for about a quarter-century now.

That Lala track list
is rockin' my world. Apparently I had a void in my soul shaped exactly like Nada Surf. Immediately comfortable music, wistful, textural rock and roll for any fan of the Pixies or Teenage Fanclub.

And that "I Love the '30s" clip, and "Best Meal Ever" bit brought tears to my eyes. So funny.

Great new column idea. First I'd heard of it.
And I thought that swan-and-the-rat call was pretty hilarious.

THIS IS
GREAT! Man, I am really liking this. Cerebral but atmospheric—a brainfreak you can chill to—textured and smeary—lush and foreboding—retro but unprecedented—warm and enfolding but as futuristic as a spaceship. Will probably get tagged as chillwave or glo-fi and it will further class up the subgenre if it…

What Lone said: "[Y]ou can't reasonably defend the merits of "Cryin'."

Are there really people here defending GET A GRIP?! You have all GOT to be just defending your memory of it, right, and you were fourteen at the time you listened to it? Right? Because I had that when I was thirteen or so, and I thought it was great, but I found an OLD mix tape of mine not too long ago, and it had…

This is the best Inventory list ever.
I'm bookmarking this page. I'm campin' out here. This thing is made of solid gold, as are its comments threads. Let me tell you what I'm doing on my next day with some free time: hanging out with this list and, say, Playlist.com. There's a party going on here. Rock and roll! …

Listened—
—and I like it. That "Red Lights" is a real winner, and I think the kids will love it. Also, I had never heard that "Lovely Allen" before and wow man wow. A real winner. Solid gold. No wonder these guys open for Caribou. And so what if they turn fifteen when it comes to naming their band. They're…

Yeah, Woods! I love that song "Rain On" by them.

I meant "insanely." Not "inanely." I didn't think it was inane. Just really depressing, about the suburbanization of the world, the oppression of the weird, and total crushing of personal dreams and ambitions.

Leadcenobite, you got me spending some time Googling Wavy Brain Video, with your last comment, and I found that A) the store closed down in 1999, B) I am old, and C) what the hell happened to that last decade?!

It's a pretty horrible story. The grandparents' bodies were recovered about a mile from my house, and I remember seeing them carted away amidst a frenzy of media.
