This year I discovered Shellac and Lightning Bolt and really liked them both.  They're both unusual and very heavy but they don't seem to take themselves too seriously (Steve Albini's non-musical bitching notwithstanding).  Any like-minded AV Clubbers have suggestions for more music to check out along these lines?

No hate for the blatantly fixed disaster of a Project Runway season?

I'm about halfway through the third season so I haven't been keeping up with these as they come out.  Too many TV Club writers just do scene-by-scene retellings of whatever happened during the episode and that's ALL they do.  Zach's write-ups are brief but engaging and thoughtful and I'm happy to read as I play

Whore Whores

I remember Worthington getting good reviews for his work in Terminator 4.  I never saw that movie, but it seems to be one of those things critics forget they said, like how critics loved The Phantom Menace (I'm looking at you, Keith Phipps).

No love for the Bakersfield Sound G2G?

"Merry Christmas If That's Okay" would certainly be a worthy addition to this list, as would "Whispering Christmas Warrior" as performed by Santa Klaws, if only for those names.

Three words:  Patrick Swayze Christmas

This reminds me I only have a few days to throw on my VHS copy of The Grinch my mom got me from Wal-Mart when I was nine or ten.  An entire VHS with 26 minutes of content, those were the days.

If I were Terence Malick I would be disappointed that my movie about encompassing Everything Ever very, verrrrrryyyy slowly couldn't even crack both AV Club lists.

Never mind, forgot about Green Lantern.  That was the legitimately terrible movie I saw this year.  And that didn't even crack your list, AV Club?  These movies must be worse than I thought.

The only movies I saw that really disappointed me were Paul, Tree of Life, and The Descendants.  I guess Most Disappointing is different from Worst Of, but still, if that's my list (and since I saw none of these twenty presumed awful movies) I must've made out pretty well!

Also, Taco Bell and its tortillas are shit.

I remember some of Eeyore's lines sounded so depressing/suicidal I couldn't stop laughing.

I disagree (about the inanity).  I'd never seen a Malick film before.  My only preconceived notion was that David Gordon Green's "George Washington" (which I loved) was supposedly heavily indebted to Malick.  I was excited to check Tree of Life out and it left me cold.  It was pretty, and I respect the ambition, but I

I'm sorry, I know I should like it, but Tree of Life had me checking my watch impatiently long before it ended.  I thought it was a beautifully filmed, well-acted slog.

The default answer for whether or not you'd like to join his mailing list is "No, leave me alone forever, you fat idiot."  Add that the show itself is really good and this was easily worth five dollars.

Thank you Gateway To Geekery for introducing me to GBV.  Bee Thousand was love at first listen.

I'm not saying they can't just throw a bunch of shit on a screen.  That very scene you described could be fine or it could be an incomprehensible mess depending on how it's presented.  I feel ST's effects scenes hold up great because of the aforementioned mix of live animatronics with the CGI and great animators like

Then unless Andy Serkis learns to scuttle around like a bug K. Thrace is probably right.
