I don't think that people who don't like the Beatles are necessarily hipsters or douchebags; mostly, as with people who don't get Bowie or Springsteen, I just feel sorry for them. The hipsterism and/or douchebaggery comes from people who airily insist that the Beatles were overrated, then get all shirty when I ask…

MMT definitely has more Beatlesesque songs in it; Sgt. Pepper is much more of a coherent concept album, even if the concept was pretty lightweight (a variety show that slid in and out of psychedelia and traditional music); ironically, MMT is an album based around a failed concept, that of the Beatles gathering up a…

The only real question is who thought it could have turned out any other way and let him go ahead?

About as much as I'd want to watch American Gigolo with Chevy Chase in it. (Not that I'd want to watch 
American Gigolo under any particular circumstances, but you know.)

You cannot show it to the Laker Girls. I know you want to show it to the Laker Girls but you can never show it to the Laker Girls. Keep Mr Weenie in the pants. Always in the pants.

Lohan's a general-purpose spoiler. I liked A Prairie Home Companion, but a lot of reviewers talked about how it was a shame that Robert Altman went out with that one, and I'm convinced that it's because he cast LiLo. Her next project has her playing Liz Taylor, probably during her heavy-duty boozing/drugging phase so…

Trufax: Stephen King has said, in an interview, that Sarah Palin basically is Greg Stillson (although maybe not so much nowadays).

@avclub-1df8797177fc3b52be6784aacca7358c:disqus , I tend to take celebrity encounter stories with a grain of salt. Like the parable about the blind men who each took hold of a different part of an elephant (the trunk, an ear, a leg, etc.) and declared that the elephant was essentially like a snake, a leaf, a tree, and…

Fat Man and Little Boy needed Richard Feynman in there somewhere. (When I watched it, I thought that John Cusack's character was supposed to be a Feynman expy, but apparently he's a composite of two other scientists.)
