I was shocked when I read this story on another news source and discovered that another picture of Brett Ratner actually exists. I assumed he was like a Yeti and they've only managed to snap one photo of him ever, when he was in his natural habitat.

"There’s even room for the transgressive silliness of “Football Game,”
during which Lynch sounds as if he’s in the middle of eating a sandwich.
(Or perhaps a pair of panties.)"

Is Drake fine with me NOT downloading his album? I'm sure he's a stand-up guy, but I have no interest. Still, I don't want to disappoint the little fella.

Oh, most definitely @avclub-500e75a036dc2d7d2fec5da1b71d36cc:disqus . I love that song, as I am now a hobo, but not a very little one. It's so poignant. I would also add the Raccoons theme song, although it's a little less timeless. And Cheers, of course.

I can understand you not paying, say $62 for the privilege, and $60 sounds a reasonable price, but I find it intriguing that if @avclub-0fb50d074c9808a35e9843e4b847125b:disqus's wife came up to you and said, 'would you pay me $58 to knock me up?', you'd turn her down.

I checked it out cold after reading the review, and boy, am I glad I did. I immediately picked up Geneva as well, and love that one too.

Also, is anybody a little worried about Malick's sudden prolificacy? Like I said, I love his work and think Tree of Life is a masterpiece, but too many beautiful shots and thoughtful voice-overs might kind of reduce the power of the approach. Although, 'Lawless' does sound like it could be the title of the new Apatow…

Yeah, things are getting a bit Myspace-y. I can't wait for the animated gifs of Modell dancing around.

Yes, a Malick documentary is definitely an interesting proposition. I do love the man's films, philosophy and all, but it might be nice to see him focus just on the beauty of what he shows. Or, maybe he'll go the Herzog route and keep pontificating. Either way, I am intrigued.

The Semen-Covered Horse Remains the Same
It turns out it wasn't a mudshark that Led Zeppelin used….

DVDA? But I thought Blu-Ray won the format war.

I am pretty happy that the AV Club provides a venue where Bono and Idi Amin can get together and try to work out their differences.

Well, I'm glad she's pulled herself together and is producing new work.

When I was in Brussels recently, there were Tintin adverts EVERYWHERE. Sometimes, countries live up to stereotypes.

And yet he was still friendly! Really, it's a story about a murdered child overcoming adversity. It's heartwarming.

Yeah, but given that it's Scooby Doo, it was probably just Old Man Macgregor, wearing a silly outfit and trying to scare the kids who kept tearing up his lawn.

I had a dildo-filled art project once, but then my wife kindly asked me to quit calling her that.

I think we can all agree that they're both fucking terrible, no matter what age.

Well, they bought a lot of Wye Oak stocks, so it's understandable. Or, maybe they just promote good stuff that they like? I'm pretty glad they turned me on to Wye Oak.

He looks like my grandmother after she got Alzheimer's and couldn't figure out how to use her make-up or put in her teeth any more. I am sorry, grandma, for comparing you to this.
