This May: "Kat Dennings walks us through 2 Broke Girls, episode by episode - an eight part series!"

Giant chickens are terrifying. Ever try to talk smack to an ostrich? Those motherfuckers will kick you in the fucking face.

Right. It's never about reviewing the music, it's always about sniffing at the band's history, creating narratives (and counter-narratives and counter-counter-narratives) around the hype. Which is why more space in these reviews are taken up describing the band's "DIY distribution model" or the fact that David Bowie…

I love this album - I've been listening to it nearly nonstop since it came out (alright, since it leaked).

Some Loud Thunder is fucking incredible; most days I like it better than their debut. And y'know what? I really, really like the new album, too. It's funny: most of the reviews that dismiss this album are suddenly praising Some Loud Thunder for its "experimental," "angular" sound, which is kind of hilarious, because…

Does anyone actually believe that Isaac Hayes's departure from South Park actually "hurt" Parker and Stone's "feelings," as Todd seems to suggest here? It's not like Hayes, Parker and Stone were great friends or anything - he did voice work for their show; they barely saw the guy. All they did was take a minor…

Seriously, I call bullshit on that anecdote. How can you know anything about The Wizard of Oz, much less be TAing a class about it, and not know about the color change?

Dude, I love Star Wars, but of course it's jingoistic and conservative. Its world is derived from old Flash Gordon serials and pulp magazines; it's essentially a story of wizards and knights hacking each other up in space. Its ethical worldview is fundamentally black and white with precious little in the way of gray -…

I'm just so tired of all these Star Wars.

Doctor Who is also good if you grew up without cable and your parents only ever let you watch PBS on a grungy black-and-white TV, on which loony old Tom Baker with his big scarf and robot dog seemed like the coolest things in the universe. That said… I'm a grown-up now, and Doctor Who is still a show for dumb little…

DON'T YOU DARE KNOCK MY CIDER

Two naked, married eight-year-olds with curiously invisible genitals.

Bil Keane is clearly the Kurgan.

The girl on the cover of "John Henry" hardly has a murderous expression. And she doesn't have a pickaxe, she's got a big hammer - y'know, 'cause she's a steel-drivin' man.

Fuck you, man, Kid A is awesome.

If Catfish was fake they could've made it interesting.

Torture is not a means of extracting information, period. It's a means of state terror that authoritarian regimes have historically used not to extract "information," but false confessions.

Now that's just silly, @avclub-0b42e2fbb64a053aa3ec5c8b75926ae3:disqus . Data has plenty of fairly human drives. He clearly experiences desire: most obviously, he desires to become more human, to experience and understand emotion, and in general to experience and understand the world around him. He experiences…

I have a human-like urge to punch Larry David.

This makes me really sad somehow. Stop picking on Spongebob!
