Yeah, but now I'd say new bad ass Carl has become a pretty popular character. Also, if they always listened to their fans, the whole show would be non stop zombie gore and boobs.

Yeah, I was pretty sure there was going to be a new fish tank collection started. That she survived this episode probably means she's on the show for the long haul, or at least until she gets offered a dramedy on NBC.

I'll go as far as saying Bowie coming out and singing "Hurt" ruined me for Bowie and "Hurt." It's a song Bowie could not possibly have any personal connection to other than he liked it, it was popular, and he doubted Reznor would have the good sense to refuse him. I do feel he could have pulled off "Closer."

It sucks, because she used to be a pretty good character. The one on one scenes with her and Amy, Dale, or Shane were pretty great. Now she's goddamn Poochy.

I think they had to make him likable enough for Andrea to hook up with. If he was comics governor, it would be too much of a stretch to have her falling for him. That said, yeah, he's been pretty unnoteworthy as season long villain. As it stands now, there's no fucking way I'd take the prison over Woodbury. Plus, I'm…

Well, he's got Tyrese now.

Also of the opposite opinion, but not just with this show. The trend of network TV dramas ending in a fucking music video (and not a cool video, but that shit they used to play on VH1) is abominable. The worst offender is Elementary, but at least there you can stop watching. On TWD, shit still happens after the video,…

Yes. MP3s sound like shit. Plus, I'm a total music dork and like to read who produced and wrote/cowrote, where it was recorded, who the guest musicians were,etc. Plus, old jazz, classical, and reissues sometimes have great liner notes. And as weird as this seems, the aspect of ritual seems to have some importance.…

Might I add: Doolittle, Paranoid, and Straight Outta Compton

Ulcers for the English (asshole xenophobes)!

Pretty much. Weezer was one of those bands that you knew wasn't going to age well. They were great at capturing that the feelings and experiences of being on the cusp of adulthood, but how can you make a career out of that?

I think the whole thing stands up. I remember being pretty disappointed in series 7, but then later watched half of that series on a plane and laughed my ass off the whole time. The same goes for episodes that I thought were just ok then watched later. The shock value of how far these guys will sink wears off quickly,…

I remember the TV promos for this movie. They made it seem like this film was about a wacky guy who loves beer, drives an ice cream truck and gets involved in all kinds of zany shenanigans. When I finally rented it with my friends and a couple of six packs, it was very clear that this was a much different film than…

Oh shit! I forgot about Handi-man! I know it was "a different era" and all, but how the fuck was that ever funny?

@ Odd Future: Ok, I really can't disagree that it was childish and unethical. But that article was such a smear piece I'm willing to set the adult portion of my brain aside and say, "Hell yeah!"

I thought what she (M.I.A.) did was awesome. The Lynn Hirschberg piece seemed really biased and excessively negative.

I almost mentioned that as one of the exceptions! I left it out of because, unless you've seen it yourself, it's hard to convey how places like Samurai Mama and Minca seem less like restaurants and more like a fetish clubs.

To be fair, the bar/loft party/music venue scene in Williamsburg is pretty racially homogeneous. Unlike say, Friends, where they cavort and work all over NYC without even encountering a person of color, I don't think that Dunham was being intentionally racist. She just (somewhat) accurately portrays the world that she…

i don't know. One mediocre performer interrupts another mediocre performer to sing the praises of yet a third mediocre performer. Maybe this story is a bit overblown.

But he and the other guy from BEP had a verse on Eazy E's "Merry Motherfuckin' Christmas." Much as I hate everything he's made since, I've got to give him that.
