what? no one likes the over-serious dickhead tangent today? geez! what is it with you people? here i see the remainder of the thread devotes itself, humorously and vindictively,  to the underlying notion that performing at a high level of visibility is the only valuable outcome of doing things in the performing arts.…

for the love of sweet @avclub-4a51fda79bbd54b4e7327dd6559b6c4d:disqus , her travails are her own. her pitfalls her own. her successes the result of chance and perceived providence. life for each of us is sometimes a cruelly cast die. hell, ain't you the off/on arbiter of some this craziness anyway?

i so hope feinartz got a higher degree in fine arts.

ok, @avclub-6ee934260c80f2e2f9098dcd3e44c032:disqus , your lifepath appears somewhat close to mine. now that i'm 41, i see that i missed out on so many opportunities because of anxious social interaction resulting in self-imposed seclusion.  in fact, the bulk of my 20s and 30s comprised approximately 6 or 7 one night,…

my half-formed opinion: differences in public culture re canada and u.s.a.

yeah, this cover only held my attention for 4 of the 9-odd minutes it goes on. still, i can fully appreciate the amount of work and preparation this took to reach fruition.

but, but @DonChalant:disqus is a titled man of the highest concern. how ever could you come to such a conclusion? i demand some sort of qualification here, good sir. despite this being the internet, the rules of 17th-19th century continental ettiquette do apply in some circles - especially with a person having such a…

wiki has helped me realize that willis tried his hand at a ruttling* or spinal tapping with his bruno radolini alter-ego for the eponymous hbo special.

sorry you have to re-audition for your job, farihah. i wholly enjoy the fact that frontline is back again. i rarely have time to watch it, but have enough of a bearing on current political events to gain insight from your reviews. thank you for taking this on again. your work is not in vain.

i see you're relatively new here. expect to enjoy the comments by us and essays by zack and todd coming this february 23. i'm also a huge fan of this show who grew up watching this in syndication. i'm gonna guess you expanded your sense of anthology shows with alfred hitchcock presents, way out, one step beyond, and ta…

sure, but how else could rabin denigrate and venerate the object in his vision? he has to make it look bad before it can look good. please see his nashville or bust entries for more of: "how can this sound so good? my former slighting of this musical genre/artist was the result of measured ignorance."

kaffee-klatsch-kvetch. rabin's heard of most of those guys, and he detailed it real reg'lr like during his mentioned tour through country. he's just presuming that you, as a devoted reader, have been following his gallivanting through the fields of pop culture, alighting on flowers, fitfully, in hopes of finding new…

clearly, you have never eaten watermelon off the rind.

Sei Shōnagon would like a word. but, i keed. i keed. george jones' he stopped loving her today is the truest best in songs about heartbreak. i like to think brown liquor provided his insights into the depths of said heartbreak. none of that clear liquor.

did anyone else feel that this episode just stitched together each character's foibles? maybe it was the nighttime cold medicine, but this episode cracked the suspension of disbelief. the product placement stuff and the circumlocution of axl's red lobster request just spoiled the trick for me. though the prank scene…

In this country, you gotta make the Mickey first. Then when you done the Mickey, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.
