Pentagon, Cuerno and Mil Muertes are the holy rudo trinity. I will never not love Jack Evans' shit-talking and floppy bumps. Willie Mack is undeniable, Cage is terrifying, Puma is an actual superhero. It's very hard to choose with this group.

It's hard to take Bengala entirely seriously with his gimmick/build, but dude was showing some great moves during the 7-way match at Ultimate Lucha. But yes, if I could vote any one wrestler out of the promotion it would be DelAvar.

And then Angelico somehow managed to up the ante for the sequel:

That's crazy! When I was first diving into trendy rock music as a high schooler, I started with "Is This It" and "Source Tags." Fell in love with both. But I was an impressionable teenager then.

I mean, that's logical and fair. But any wrestling promotion with an Infinity Gems-style storyline, arm-breaking ninja skeletons, reincarnated dragons and Dario god-damn Cueto needs to be celebrated loudly and longly in every available avenue.

Listen, guys, "Puppet Rapist" did the whole "dark side of puppet world" thing first and best. Best to stake out a new parody genre.

"Eddie Murphy, I realize, is not like the rest of us. Eddie does not need the laughs."

< that guy > *Newt and Hicks. < /that guy >

I still mentally picture Kodi Smit-McPhee as moppet par excellence in films like The Road and Let Me In. But dude is 18 now, and now has this weird, angular look that could be good for Nightcrawler makeup.

Inherent Vice as a whole didn't do much for me, but any soundtrack that gives Can's "Vitamin C" a full spin at the top of the film gets my vote for best of the year.

Jeez. Leave it to Jonathan Banks to make a story about shoveling human waste both utterly charming AND winningly cantankerous!

It was one dusky evening at a crossroads just outside of Jacksonville that Wes Borland met with the Stranger.

I'm glad the Inanimate Carbon Rod enjoyed such a robust post-Simpsons career.

Anyone else seen the Black Mirror holiday special? Because I can never fully enjoy this song as a result of watching it.

The Pixies were like a power totem for me in high school: I loved them unabashedly, and that love was partially fueled by my belief that I'd discovered this great secret underground cult that most of the kids my age weren't aware of.

Oh! I never knew this guy's name before. "Tot" is German for "dead." (It's pronounced more like "tote bag" than "tater tots"). So you could say this Nazi bastard was doomed from the start.

Q And Not U write-ups two days in a row on AV Club? What did we do to deserve such divine grace?

This is what the Forever Changes lineup looked like:

Smartest character on the show. http://25.media.tumblr.com/…

This game would be particularly hard to adapt as a movie, because the allure of it is only like 50% giant monster fights (for me, anyway — your mileage may vary).
