James1 … hot for teacher
You forgot The Substitute 2, where the dude kicks someone's ass with a yo-yo! Also, Freedom Writers … which had one of those rare things … a Common song that played to his strengths and didn't try to contort his meandering style into a terrible pop melody.

They're just mining …
Soon, the landscape of 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s pop culture will be turned into big-screen adaptations. If a studio can spend a small amount of money on a stupid writer to turn Mr. Wizard (or some other property that their parent company owns) into a movie, why should they pay for a new film,…

Chim Chim Charee!
Newcomers can fund their own tours. That's what shitty vans and ramen noodles are for!

Movie = move
I'm a Freudian dumbass.

Gotta shoot for your audience, folks.
And let's face it … most of the people who're going to buy REM's new album are Paul McCartney fans who're looking to join in the hip, young, fresh, Anderson Cooper-revolution!

I'll give Ferrell one more shot!
Not that he gives a shit … but I'm skipping on the basketball biopic and going straight to this Land of the Lost remake. It can't possibly be more retarded than the TV show. Oh, and Speed Racer is coming out, too. Yay … I have got to get on the ball and sell Hollywood my Captain…

Cool.
So, do I get to wear the crown of the idiotking for a blessed moment, or what? I make no qualms about my ignorance of musical process. That's why I come here, so I can feel even more retarded when people start referencing things I've never heard of before!

Seconding "All I Need." I usually absorb an album, one track at a time. I listen to it all the way through, make my earmarks, then play certain tracks over and over, until I pillage them for all they're worth, before moving on …

So, what's up?
Rolling Stone does a track by track preview of the album that includes about 8 "bonus" tracks that I didn't get on the download. Are these bonus tracks going to be in the box set? AVClubbers - commense to digging and informing us dumb bastards. After reading that preview, I found myself highly…

It's "Tase" bro!
Or maybe even "taze," with an exXxtreme Zzz for effect! Get it straight you Yankee fucks.

God, DJ
Sage Francis proved that a long time ago on his album "A Healthy Distrust." Him and Satan seriously fucked one another up.

Songs like "The General Specific"
Are so unabashedly Southern-sounding that I have no idea why anyone would think otherwise. That said, it's a beautiful album … and while the Shins can sing all the want about "white girls of the North," it's nice to hear a band that's asking what the hell is going wrong when it's…

By the way, guys …
Get on the Radiohead "In Rainbows" review. I just downloaded mine, and I dig it. But the only other album I've bought is Kid A, and honestly, I don't feel qualified to make any detailed review of it myself.

Awesome
I'm glad he doesn't care about films coming out that are derivative of his work, because his work is derivative of previous films. And so on and so on and so on. Copying is the sincerest form of flattery.

Quality
It's definitely decreased in the talkbacks lately, but then again, I'm not sure that the AVC can ever plumb the depths of AICN's talkbacks. For example, there is a reviewer who works under the "Midol Girl" codeword, and she gets assassinated every time she writes about a film because she's a woman.

Doug Adams
I like that someone mentioned the "continental drift" quote … how you will never escape critics. Being critical of something is easy; doing something yourself and putting it up for public display is not. And in Uwe Boll's defense … well, that's sound reasoning on his part: "You don't like my movie? Where is…

Nice list.
Thanks; I'll print it out and watch them all in the order in which they were received.

And seriously, folks …
What's with the "Oh man … Paul Giamatti is dead to me now!" type of comments? Acting's work like anything else. Just because someone acts in something you think is trite and ridiculous doesn't somehow vaporize the films they were in that you loved. Have some decency. You can't pay the bills with…

Elf - awesome!
In no way does this equal Jingle All the Way or The Santa Clause. I mean … it's got Bob Newhart in it! It's simultaneously more subversive and more joyous than any Christmas film I've ever seen. I don't know how to explain it properly, but yeah … you should go back on vacation, Amelie. Rent this film…

Stuff to check out if you haven't already
You need to check out Bob's work with Super Deluxe. Or hopefully, if they still have it up … his CS Lewis Jr. video on Bob and David.
