@avclub-98470000dfdbcbccf2c7cd42d80955ae:disqus My husband is as big a fan of MacGowan as you seem to be. I am a big Tom Waits fan, and he consistently rags on me for listening to a guy who sings "like he has some sort of medical condition". He does not see any irony in this whatsoever.

My goal in life is to somehow rescue Shane MacGowan's liver and give it a good home. If only I could've gotten to his teeth in time…

In case any Drag Race fans haven't already checked this out and would like to, the Logo website has "bonus" videos of the complete Untucked re-enactments in their full glory. If you thought Coco, Detox and Alaska were a-MAY-zing from the clips on the show last night, you will die several times over while watching the…

Liked for mentioning his autobiography. I was also impressed by it - just as a life story, it's a good read, and it also provides some useful context for his music.

I know. We should point at them and laugh.

@avclub-981ec2327e01401e552164ed7314d4b0:disqus Yes, "drag-adjacent" is the perfect term for what Bowery did, and you do see those influences in drag quite a bit. The Legend of Leigh Bowery is wonderful, and really presents a good overview of the many places where he made his mark - fashion, music, the fine arts,…

@avclub-d80ecbbbef6ab40a4e53d1ad2c3fc1b2:disqus And that's just as it should be.

I am also intrigued by Monica's confession and what it means to the show going forward. Ru obviously had no problem with it, and the other queens seemed fine with it as well. But it does change things up a little to say that you're a woman, not just a drag queen. I did love that the other girls were supportive and…

It's amazing how much I grew to hate Serena in just two episodes. Even Phi Phi showed some vulnerability and empathy once in a while, but Serena was entirely miserable.

You cannot improve on the original Lidsville. You just can't.

*sigh* OK, let me clarify, again, since I didn't do a good enough job the first time. Sexuality, in a general sense, is not the issue. It's the specific brand of sexuality that gets used in these ads. Most ads during the regular season are not generally as explicit/exploitative. The Super Bowl is where there is…

The program itself is a football game. There is nothing in the program itself that needs to be "censored and purified". The fact that the commercial culture around the program has become more and more adult-only is the issue, and that's where it makes things tough for parents. If the program isn't specifically…

Seconded.

Not talking about "pretty boys". SexGodBadBoys ≠ pretty boys. The band, as a whole, were sold as the anti-Beatles, the wild ones who aren't safe to take home to Mumsy, etc. They all (well, except for Charlie Watts) played along with it. They were the dark lords of rock, and that danger was part of their appeal to a…

*Chartex exits room, waving folded newspaper in front of face*

Said he was painful to look at, not to listen to. I think he's still got chops, but the Stones based half of their appeal on chops and raw power, and half of their appeal on being SexGodBadBoys. That's the half of the equation that doesn't age well.

We had an ad with two sitcom characters dancing suggestively on a pole. We had a model-on-nerd make-out session, complete with sound effects. We had a guy in fuzzy handcuffs who had apparently had a one-night stand, trying to undress the chick he banged to get his shirt back without waking her up. It's not bare…

So all that time that Dory was forgetting things, it's because she was drunk on cheap beer?

Man, I'd love to see them at SXSW, but I'm gonna be busy from Marcy 13-16. In fact, Marcy's already pretty much booked for me.
