It's also weird to call this "Great Job, Internet!" when it's literally just "Did you notice this intentionally done thing on a TV show?" The Internet, as it were, did jack shit, other than be a place where people can host gifs. Honestly, it'd even be better, if they have to keep running stuff like this, to just…

Thank you! Came here just to say this. GJ,I! can't even shoutout the best group. They've been killing it up in there.

For real, please do. This news fired me up enough to write basically an essay downthread, and I'm usually silent/have got fuckin' work in the morning.

ADDENDUM: After I wrote the above comment, I saw on Twitter that LaToya Ferguson confirmed that coverage of Black-ish, Salem, Scream Queens, and the Detour are getting cut come their next seasons. If literally six shows (that I'm aware of) can get cut from one of the AVC's most respected sections in one evening —…

I mean, I get that. I've seen it all over. And I get that it's hard for sites like AVC to keep up — but even in the realm of clickbait, shouldn't there be at least something to say about quality over quantity?

Seriously! Everyone jokes about GJ,I! but it's getting overwhelming.

Oh, "High-Rise" was absolutely phenomenal. It's definitely not to everybody's tastes, but if you dig Wheatley, I think you should like it. He outdid himself. It's actually my favorite thing I've seen so far this year (I've seen a *lot*). I've seen it three times since April — maybe that's also why that "SOS" scene is…

That's true. Sorry, I've been having a rough week. A friend of mine died a few days ago (only 21, hit and run no less), so the article positing that this is good for processing loss when all it does is remind me of (and was crated for) a [HIGH RISE SPOILERS] scene of a violent sexual assault, and the graphic…

Yeah, not buying it. I mean, they chose it because they recorded it months and months ago for "High-Rise" and it's the only thing they've done in years. I wouldn't be surprised if they had the video ready to go as well, considering the quick turnaround (though it is fairly simple, so maybe not?). It's nice, but…

I quite enjoyed this movie (not as much as "What We Do In The Shadows," but that's a high bar) to clear.

Well, if the credits to this trailer are to be believed, there actually *is* no Elfman in this film either. Though this trailer does confirm that he's really doubling down on the "quirky pale loners."

Because it still beats "Raditude."

Fun fact, Trump almost definitely knows who Sondheim is, as they are both went to high school at the New York Military Academy, and are often cited together as two of the most famous alums (I only know this because my friend is a grad, and complains about sharing this institution with Trump).

Yeah, plus Affleck's character is very much made out to be a dick in the wrong in the end, when all is said and done. It really is more interesting if you view it as a story about the gray areas of sexual identity and the way people respond to that (especially in the 90s), and Affleck's character works well as a…

The only funny one I saw come up on my twitter feed earlier (and am surprised is not here) was when it was used in conjunction with "Dallas Buyer's Club."

I feel like there's a bit of a difference between a film being more rewarding because of general awareness of other cultural things (ie: philosophy) and literally not being able to understand it unless you've consumed the source the material/literal tie ins. Not that that necessarily makes the Matrix sequels good, but…

Just in to say that the last two records are, indeed, pretty great (White even more so), and that Lips/Weezer show Dowd mentions above remains to this day one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

Have you heard the single he dropped last summer? It filled my Midnite Vultures loving heart with joy.

Not sure one way or the other, but if you're into this record, and cool queer voices in indie rock/punk, you should check out PWR BTTM's album from last year if you haven't. It's a fantastic, sub-30 minute burst of great, hooky power pop/pop punk, with plenty of great riffs and a very distinct queer viewpoint.

That's fair, but I'd also argue that current sampling laws have something to do with that too. If it's gonna wind up costing you an arm and a leg to use samples (if you can wind up getting them cleared at all), why go through the effort of putting out and paying for something with tons of samples (like anything on…
