Thought it was going to be about the Cocker version, which Misses The Point and Tries Too Hard to an impressive degree (enough to earn capital letters, no less). The original's just cute and dorky, the worst song on Sgt. Pepper's and kinda mediocre, but there's some stuff to like there, inasmuch as you can stand…

Clearly it's jazz. Just jazz.

Why has the AV Club of all places decided to become Fall Out Boy information station? Those of us who would've liked them and would've given them a chance, have given them a chance. The rest of us aren't going to try them no matter how many mentions of them you shoehorn into other stuff. This is not an exceptional…

…how had I never noticed that about Who Let the Dogs Out? What kind of overly-sensitive college feminist AM I?

Unfortunately whatever I end up doing on Friday night, I'm doing it in Berlin, so unless you've got a plane ticket handy…

I don't care for the Fall Out Boy I've heard, but this was a pretty solid Hatesong. Helps that this is really just the worst song. The late 90s is why I can never relate to people who are all "Oh of COURSE you think the best music came out when you were a kid…" because even as a kid, I was under no illusions that the…

Oh my god, I remember that from when I was like 7, on a Girl Scout trip (the Radio Disney of Mambo No. 5, that is). This is actually the first song I remember really hating, incidentally. Thank you, Lou Bega and Radio Disney, for setting me on the path toward a life of hating things.

This is A Thoughtful Post. Seriously, I think you're on to something here.

Nobody knew how to dress/style her so she often wasn't shown off to best effect, but she definitely was quite beautiful.

He's not even good looking…at all. I know he's funny, but that's supposed to be an excuse for women, dammit.

Do The Right Thing is such an amazing movie…I feel like watching it was the first time I was really forced to think about racism in a more complex way than "Well some people are assholes and some people have power and some people don't have power and MLK and blah." It's one of the few movies I've seen with a truly…

Since a lot of these comments seem to be about (the sexual irresistibility of) redheads in general and not about Julie Klausner in particula(i)r, let me just say that she is the best, her hair is the best, and her podcast is consistently a favorite. I also thank her for introducing me to Ted Leo (I mean, not in person…

Not only would I watch the hell out of that, I would make my cats watch it, then take pictures of it.

I watched this with a queer Latina who still loved it despite it being really gay-panicky and using Asian stereotypes out the ass…I don't know what movie she was watching, the one I was seeing had no redeeming qualities.

I agree re: laziness. The characters were all terrible, broad stereotypes (holy shit was this movie racist against Asians, for some reason) and the main character was loathsome.

No worries, I was just being a massive dick for no good reason :) Also I love that Tom Wolfe piece and will find any reason to post it.

False. http://nymag.com/news/featu…

It is not. I've seen it 5 million times because it's a "tradition" on my rugby team to watch it before the first match, it's awful, it's always been awful, it has a weirdly good soundtrack in a mid-2000s indie-pop way, is the only good thing you could say about it.

I come from Maine (not only a Union state but also home to the 20th Maine and so forth) and lots of Mainers will fly the Confederate flag and break out into state's-rights apologetics at the drop of a hat. The history of it doesn't matter at all. So dumb.

The scary thing is, there's so many things to get tested for…and half of them have the same symptoms as something else at first. Cancer is terrifying.
