You don't understand. That feed makes me laugh more often than anything else on the Internet.

Doesn't look great. Too muted and pensive and held together by voice-over narration. But I'll definitely see it, as that book was one of the primary influences on the course of my life. And it'll probably be at least decent.

Just as long as the writers of CAPTAIN AMERICA and IRON MAN 2 and their absurd jingoistic, Objectivist politics are nowhere near this, this could be really cool.  The trailer looks fun, anyway. Though it's interesting how male the whole group is, with the only female character not getting her own movie beforehand.

If you mourn Wrapped Up In Books as I (and many others) do, and if you're on Facebook, you should check out the Bimonthly Facebook Book Club, which was directly inspired by it. AVC-commenter Farmer John recently suggested this very book for our next selection, and depending on how the group vote goes later this week,…

It really is worth it. Everyone who calls it a novel in television form is right, and it's a good novel. Every season adds another side to the prism of the story, and the world of Baltimore that it builds is so believable and well-realized and engaging that I've had dreams about it ever since. I put off watching it…

I would say 1998

That this guy wasn't way more famous was kind of sad. I mean, RIDDLEY WALKER is one of the best post-post apocalyptic pieces of humane insanity I could ever imagine, and yet it was published by some little college press. I hope his work gets some posthumous love, because it deserves it. I bought almost all his novels…

The experience of reading RIDDLEY WALKER with the AV Club community was one of the best reading experiences of my life. It cemented the book in place as one of my all-time favorite novels. R.I.P. Russel Hoban. And R.I.P. Wrapped Up in Books.

For lack of knowing where else to post this: I started an online book club to fill the void left by Wrapped Up in Books. Some other AV Club commenters are there as well. Our first book is SAVAGE GIRLS AND WILD BOYS: A HISTORY OF FERAL CHILDREN, and the week if discussion will begin February first. Join us, if you're…

Someone ought cover Erasure's "She Won't Be Home," one of the best modern Christmas songs ever. http://www.youtube.com/watc… I'd love to hear a kinda ragged-edged indie version of that, maybe by some full band unafraid of breaking out a drum machine.

I don't think it was a paid endorsement, I think Sean O'Neil just really loves Dawes and decided to use his platform to spread the word. I don't think he planned for it to become a meme.

They really are a good band. "When My Times Come" is one of the best alt.country songs of the last decade, easily.

WHERE THE FUCK

I'm very excited about this. I had hoped for this. But it's less than exciting to know that it's just for a single episode.

So, he's not going to actually go back and tinker with any of his old movies, right? Because I think George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have proven that that's just a terrible idea.

I felt this way about Werner Herzog, but then CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS didn't really justify the glasses, the dimness, or the laughable extra depth in scenes such as standing between file cabinets, standing in the rows of a vineyard, or standing on a trail. Plus he suggested that all art and culture began in Europe…

Alive as you or me?

Koontz sucks badly. My dad heard an interview he liked with the guy once, bought a ton of his books and audio books, and then passed them all onto me. I read or listened to a few, but man, his success is inexplicable. Yes, he cultivates page-turning suspense effectively, but it goes NOWHERE. He admits to not knowing…

Really, it took this long for us to get this gimmick poster? It seems so obvious now.
