How big is your beard - like Williamsburg bushy or  food co-op style full but trimmed?

@avclub-9e701dfc2f4952d495077c6bf6c3c94a:disqus Yeah, the scene was in the book, but it was a bit more palatable because it didn't contain a vivid image of a white princess being crowd surfed by her brown inferiors.  Daenerys' hatred of slavery has been well established in the show by now, and the nature of the scene…

If they do it every week it might get old. For a weekly gag maybe DeeDee Ramone dying Kenny style in each episode?

If they're going to pretend that punk bands generated money and record execs knew about hip hop in 1977 I'm gonna call bullshit on this stupid premise of a show. All will be forgiven however if we can get at least one scene of Don Cornelius pistol whipping Ace Freley in full makeup. I'd watch that.

This comment sounds like it's leading to a discussion on Lars Ulrich.

I'm about a 15 minute walk from the Bell House. Gowanus is gentrifying at a ridiculous rate. The bars and clubs in that area literally seem more crowded every week, 3rd Ave is becoming a foodie haven, and about every few months there's a warehouse converted to residential loft spaces. The canal isn't stopping…

@avclub-0b42e2fbb64a053aa3ec5c8b75926ae3:disqus I was under the impression that Stannis and Melisandre weren't doling out curses so much as kind of looking into the future and naming those the Lord of Light will punish

As a lover of comics and jazz, I enjoyed the hell out of this article. I still try to get into new music, books whatever through recommendations of friends. I'll also be sentimental enough to say it has honestly strengthened some of my friendships. I mean, how can you stay mad at the the person who turned you on to…

(In the writer's room): "The kid is leaving." "Let's replace him with a woman with large breasts." "Done and done!) (Everyone keeps their jobs, breast man gets a raise, asteroid hits Earth, no one cares)

Ha! If I had moved to Williamsburg straight out of high school I would have been ridden out of town on a cart made of Sub Pop and Kill Rock Stars mix tapes.

I missed the Pavement show at Madison Square Gardens for pretty much the reason you mentioned. Seeing a band like that in a giant arena seemed to miss the point of seeing a really fun live band that did not give two fucks, might be drinking too much, and still play a great show. That and the tickets were $80, which…

Eh, it depends. I grew up in a small town in the south, and they were as indie as it got. As in, you could get made fun of for listening to that "weird shit." Then I went to college in a much larger, cooler town, and I  found out I might as well had been listening to Hansen, they were so uncool and mainstream. The…

Google Chris Brown, Drake, and nightclub.

Space Oddesy was the beginning of pop's artistic progressivism? God, I hate hard core Bowie fans.

A friend of mine taught at Concordia College (a glorified junior college north of NYC) and asked his class what they thought of the whole Chris Brown/Rhianna thing. He was surprised to find that most if his students thought she "had it coming" or "must have done something." Pretty fucked up, but I guess not…

I think he was horribly miscast in Scott Pilgrim. Really nothing like the tone of the character in the book. The film had other problems, but Cera kind of ruined it for me.

Seems like they're just phoning it in now

@avclub-53ef3f6607f8a9d210d7ceb6c2eab5e8:disqus I DID see it with my ex-girlfriend! I remember that she didn't like it either, but she may have been pretending because I bitched the whole way through. Or maybe she really did hate it. I knew nothing about this person I dated for two years. It's best we broke up.

Yeah, I remember Garden State being pretty popular. Actually, now that I think about it, I can't recall anyone saying that they liked it. I'm pretty sure most of my friends hated the movie. But it does seem like every single person I know saw it.

But the whole "where were the Avengers/X-Men/F4 while the Earth is being destroyed" is a constant comic book flaw. Sometimes the Marvel Universe mentions that _____ is away on a mission, but it's three panels at best. Seriously. Three fucking panels to explain why they can't FIND the Avengers or whoever while one bad…
