He's got this on song called "Who Says You Can't Go Home" or something like that, and it's about how you can always go home to the place you grew up and your family and all that crap. There's a line in it that goes "You can take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home". Ehh, pretty sure it's the opposite

Young and Beautiful is the only Lana Del Rey song I can stand, and I actually like it quite a bit, but that line, and actually that whole section, nearly kill it for me. Especially the line "He is my sun" because I can only hear it as "He is my son" and it's super creepy.

I wouldn't say I love them, but every song I've heard from Imagine Dragons would be way more enjoyable if heard from a distance where you can't quite make out the lyrics. They make music that sounds pretty good until you actually start to listen to it.

If that zeppelin doesn't have Sarah Michelle Gellar and Mandy Moore passive-aggressively ballroom dancing with each other, I don't see how it could possibly compare.

Oh god, I couldn't agree less. Grande's is all high polish sheen. If you got rid of the sheen there'd be nothing left, she's like a human Two and a Half Men. Especially interesting you compare her to Taylor Swift in that regard (I know you have a hate-on for her, though, so whatever). Grande's got pretty much no

I have mixed feelings about Ariana Grande. On the one hand, she's definitely a brand more than an artist, eve moreso than other pop stars like Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus who at least support the pretense of having any input on their music beyond showing up the studio to sing it. But I do think she's a particularly good

"Computers are really hot now, and we’re not just talking about the bottom of a MacBook Pro that’s been on for more than five minutes." Oh god my life in a sentence.

Every time I see this trailer and the other one for that Denzel Washington movie I prepare to mourn for the great career Chloe Grace Moretz could have had…and still probably could have, if she gets out of this downward career spiral she seems to be in. She's been so promising so far and now she's doing exactly what a

I remember being impressed by her turn as post-surgery Chief in the Season 1 finale of Childrens Hospital.

I'm pretty sure I really like every episode of this show, so this is a good'un to me, but definitely not near the best. Snowflake Day and the Makeover episodes are my easy favorites.

I was born in 1994.

Man, I love BSG. I've been meaning to do a rewatch of it but now probably isn't a good time for me. At least whenever I decide to do it I'll be able to read along with however far you've gotten by then. I read your Season 4 reviews when I was making my way through it the first time but I'm very interested to see what

As upsetting as the whole Dratch situation is, Jane Krakowski's Jenna is one of the funniest characters on the show/on television in general (at least in my opinion). I hate hate hate the way she got there but damn it if the results weren't great anyway.

Woah, I had no idea this was even out today. Now I've got something to do at work.

Woah. I don't watch any USA shows but I still know about pretty much everything they air (mostly thanks to subway ads). I had absolutely no idea Royal Pains was still on. I really thought that got cancelled after like 2 seasons.

Did you see the pool? They flipped the bitch!

I do that too. Then I remember that I also like James Marsden, and all is right with the world again.

I know I know grades aren't important, blah blah blah, but is there a reason why only one of the grades for the two episodes is posted as the combined article grade? Seems to me it should be an average of the two.

"but she's better than about 95% of AT40 music".

That line did, and always does, give me chills for the exact reason you describe. Perfect note to end on. If I'd watched this show live from the beginning, the week following the airing of this episode would have been agony.
