It's not a great movie, and it doesn't have the idiosyncrasies and innovation of the original series, but there is a scene near the end involving lots of blood and a chainsaw which is pretty much the coolest scene from a movie this year. Definitely worth seeing in my book.

YES. It's utterly dazzling in its bold, ballsy retardation. It's a shit masterpiece that has Gucci waxing poetic about his baby's hunger, James Franco crooning Britney Spears during a robbery, and Vanessa Hudgens brandishing AKs. See it in a crowded theater filled with Disney fangirls.

I agree! Superbad is an absolute coming-of-age masterpiece, as adept and specific in its depiction of high school hell as Freaks and Geeks before it (honestly more so, due to its R rating). Pineapple Express is also hysterical and great. I am totally down to see this.

At first I thought you were saying MTV's "statement" was the video of him hollering, which would have been really funny and, in a sad way, much more appropriate.

Even though I'm nearly positive it's intentional, I'm going to throw in my vote for Spring Breakers. James Franco fellating a gun, Gucci Mane having a threesome with two hefty women onscreen, music by Skrillex… That movie gave me hardcore cognitive dissonance last night.

I am overjoyed that this film is featured here. It was a weird late-night Netflix find that proved to be one of the funniest, strangest, most affecting movies I've ever seen. It is pitch black comedy with an undercurrent of true sympathy for the plight of the blindly nationalist (in this case, the Westernized Muslims

Apology accepted! Come on, all - let's go back to ignoring her concerts naturally, instead of in protest.

I traveled 150 miles to see them in Toronto and found that the show had been canceled 30 minutes before I got there. Fuck that! Wavves didn't pull that when he had strep throat. He played the show, dammit!

Leslie is more-or-less the reason I forgot (I intend to pick it up again, someday, but still) to continue watching it this season. I don't DISLIKE Leslie, but I felt that in a show with many interesting, funny, "wacky" characters, Leslie has remained relatively stagnant and "harmless" throughout. I dunno. I feel bad.

Agreed all the way! I thought the first one had a clever premise and beginning but quickly devolved into a more gross, self-satisfied version of big budget action movies. At least big budget superhero flicks don't have 15 year old girls saying the word "c*nt" (don't know if Disqus allows that one…). By the end I was

I'd go between Jackass and Girl Dreams. Great songs!!

I've gone in and out of Beck obsessions for years (he was my favorite artist for years, I have all the tape releases, pre-1994 recordings, live stuff), but I'd really stopped listening the past couple years. And his latest bullshit (that batshit awful Sound and Vision cover, fucking Song Reader) has not helped me

Do you remember what he said?

It's a fake.

It's about damn time! It's impossible to find Monster fans anywhere, even on the internet. I think it's better than Fables, Life's Rich Pageant, and Green at least. King of Comedy, I Don't Sleep, I Dream, Strange Currencies, Tongue, Crush With Eyeliner, Kenneth… I thought it totally transcended its grunge influence

Last line of the show (as Any smashes his head into a mirror): "How's Erin? How's Erin? HOW'S ERINNNNN?!"

Tom Brady?

That is utter reactionary bullshit. Believe it or not, you can be a "hipster" and genuinely enjoy hip-hop music. Why would they name Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city album of the year in a year with albums from such indie rock luminaries as Japandroids, Beach House, and Fiona Apple? Surely not because they

Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE Titus Andronicus and Frank Ocean, but Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city was the album of the year. No contest. The Monitor was a masterpiece but Local Business was rather slight. A good, fun album, but it had nowhere near the lyricism, cohesiveness, and direction of good kid.
