Two words: "Latka's Cookies"

I don't give a shit who designs what, as long as I get another 'Star Wars: Battlefront' game before I get the arthritis.

*POINTS* *SCREAMS*

Also, Witchfinder General is, hands down, one of the best NWoBHM bands. The movie deserves at least a B+ by association alone.

That Bauhaus show at the beginning of 'The Hunger' looked pretty goddamned good.

What about Sookie Fucking Stackhouse???

But the AV Club recaps of "The Following" (not to mention the comments section) made that show one of the highlights of my week.

More to the point, name a non-genre six-volume series of books that was profitable while also being total shit. Nerd completism permits multiple helpings of shit sandwich.

Drip drip drip.

I think Vaughn is the obvious riposte to Schager's claim that the seven are uniformly "fundamentally good."  He does die an honorable death, but his creepy-killer-with-PTSD character is genuinely hard to "like," in the usual sense. It's ironic that he stands out the least when he's arguably playing the most nuanced

I can't believe I know this, but her first name is spelled "Tonya." No wonder she feels so misunderstood.

Oh shit, didn't realize the kill was in the trailer. Complaint redacted.

Wow, way to just drop the first kill in our laps in the opening paragraph. I'm not usually a spoiler whiner, but what the fuck?  

Not to be a shitty nitpicker, but you guys really need to get a line editor on these features before they go up. It's fucking typo-a-go-go up in this piece.

Jesus, Neutral Milk Hotel playing with Daniel Johnston? They should just hand out cardigans and journals at the door.

I read it religiously for a stretch in high school, in around 1989-90, and thought it was downright hilarious. Maybe you just had to be 15 years old to appreciate it at that stage.

Is that big robot thing in the trailer supposed to be Kenuichio Harada/Silver Samurai?

I'm going to assume that Heller is counting "Try and Love Again" as a "hit." Otherwise, his exclusion of the band's best goddamn song would be puzzling. Nice call on "Pretty Maids," though. Joe Walsh is a golden god.

So this From Hell band steals a gimmick from Marvel's 1977 Kiss comic book, and that's…notable?

I don't know if I'd go that far, but they must have thrown it under the bus because they had to put something in the "demerits" section.  It has a couple stinkers, but I don't know how you mention that album without at least extolling the endless fucking virtues of "Don't Leave the Light on Baby."
