It's gotta be an age thing. If you grew up thinking rock = Limp Bizkit/Staind, you'd want to make something different. Love Grizzly Bear, btw, but I do miss that visceral gut punch I get from Pixies, Nirvana, NIN, etc.

The Who? For me, it's right at the cutoff point for watchable Simpsons, but it also aired at the zenith of my substance abuse point. What I'm saying is maybe its not as good as I remember.

I think we can all be Frank here.

Re-read the thread starting with MsShermanGeppard. I never said, explicitly or implicitly, that I found 'analyzing pop culture so offensive' or that 'looking at pop culture through the lens of gender, race, sexuality etc. [is] upsetting.' Nor did I imply anywhere that I thought the author's point was 'you should care…

I've been getting by on a piss poor Keith Richards impression for the last 15 years, so he actually does represent me!

Haha! I saw those guys play in Denton all the time. Great memories!

Generally, AVClub is a lot smarter than most sites in content and the pop culture that it covers. That's why I go here. That and escapism, which isn't (IMO) bad. And, no, I don't find looking at pop culture through the lens of gender, race, sexuality etc upsetting. I think that enhances pop culture discussions. But…

No, I didn't read the piece, nor do I have plans to. Call me old fashioned, but I believe that women are capable of speaking about their rights as human beings without using the Kardashians as an enticement to join the conversation.

A pun thread! I wanna join the Frey!

The hell it isn't. Representing someone who's guilty as sin is an excellent career move. If you lose, well, shit -they were guilty as sin! But if you win, you write your own goddamn checks for the rest of your career. At least this is my understanding based on watching E!, Better Call Saul and On Trial. Though the…

DO you have to read about Kardashian pregnancies? And by a further extension, DO we have to look at feminism through the disconnected lens of celebrity culture? I get that that pop culture issues can encapsulate teachable moments, but is this it? Katy Perry? Taylor Swift? Minaj? Can the lives of these celebrities…

Yeah, he doesn't seem to be blatantly sociopathic, which is unfortunately exactly the personality trait his parents/siblings will value.

It was pretty damn weird. The song isn't really my thing, but I'm glad to see a pop star do anything out of the ordinary. American pop music is pretty goddamn conservative, like, the musical equivalent to American politics. And that conservatism seems to only get re-enforced by reviews like this one that castigate…

Epic

Ottoman try to find a little solace in hard times?

I'll have you know I like to fancy myself as a machine and a sentient sex toy!

Her ethnicity was mentioned in Excalibur, particularly the Cross Time Caper. Or, um, so I've heard.

Action show might be a bit of a stretch, but I was thinking along the lines of Airwolf or Manimal. Don't know the actual networks for those and life is too short to find out.

You seem to be getting a lot of flak for the Iron Fist is shitty point of view. But those people are wrong. Iron Fist is NBC 1985 action show shitty. Dexter last season shitty. Fantastic 4 (either one) shitty. It's terrible show and we are right to laugh at them that say otherwise.

But they both like hip hop!!!
