Anyone looking for the REAL gold standard in football commentating need look no further:

Yeah, I was gonna say, I missed the part where AV Club said they were interviewing Andrew W.K. here.

Maybe I'm just too much of a wacky pinko liberal, but I really have no problem with Michael Moore. I'm always amazed at how much he seems to be disliked even by liberals. I think he's one of the few guys out there who really knows what's up and who really gets it. I agree with his politics, and maybe I'm just missing

Greatest line in the history of cinema
as delivered by Rip Torn in this movie:

I can picture the trial now
Punctuated by testimony from Miss America and J. Edgar Hoover, and interrupted by a murder confession meant for Epstein vs. Epstein.

Be there!

The Ian Curtis biopic "Control" and the documentary "Joy Division," both released in 2007. Count it.

I know the Corg can definitely get a little weird and more than a little megalomaniacal at times, but really, I don't think he sounds that crazy in that blog post. Corgan always seems to tread a fine line between total self-absorption and actually very acute self-awareness; if you listen to him talk in interviews

Thank CHRIST
If this happens, I am going to be waiting for the store to open at like 6 am on July 14. Then I'll buy it, and then I'll get home and shit my everloving pants from excitement.

I'll miss you, me.

I took a "Finding Indiana" class (with 4 other people), and after studying both Cole Porter and Bobby Knight, the professor asked us which one better exemplified the Indiana experience. I was the only one who said Cole Porter. Everyone else was incredulous, and when they asked me why I'd chosen him, I was just like

As another native Hoosier, the Bobby Knight poster made this show's credibility go through the roof for me. You always hear people be like "people from (this place) are not really like that," but 90% of people from Indiana are EXACTLY like Leslie's boss. People not from Indiana, make no mistake - that character is

I think a lot of it has to do with this culture-wide failure to recognize the last ten years or so go by. In my mind, baby-boomers are still like in their late 40s/early 50s, and in reality they're like early-mid 60s now, and that's messed up. Since boomers started turning 60 and Gen-Xers started turning 40, our whole

The Republic-era documentary "New Order Story" is absolutely fantastic, and will provide you with years of repeat viewings and new in-jokes with your friends, due to its incredibly dorky editing.

Given that the recent MYOF entry is still on the AVC brain,
I'm surprised that Chris Farley's turn in Dirty Work didn't make this list. "Shut your piehole, Yoko."

But is it really posthumous though? Apparently Ridickolous knows something we don't.

"My Daddy"
The George Carlin bit about grown men who refer to their fathers as "my daddy." "You know why my daddy used to say? My daddy used to say blab blaba dab blaba dabadabadab blaba dabadabadab dabdab." "Oh he did, did he? Well, wasn't that fuckin' enlightening?"

I'm glad to see Wish You Were Here getting so much love. To me, that album does for power pop kinda like what Jimi Hendrix did for blues, stretching the genre to its farthest logical extremes and exploring everywhere in between.

Who cares about the Beatles on iTunes
when the biggest Beatles-related story this week will be the release of the Dana Carvey show Beatles Anthology skit on DVD. I only wish that that skit was as long as the actual documentary, because I'd watch it all the way through, and I would love it.

Richard Pryor managed to actually tell jokes about his kids and still make it funny. Then again, he was kinda the greatest standup ever, so if anyone could do it, it'd be him.
