For you to simultaneously refer to Taylor Swift as a "celebrated artist" and Kanye as essentially "Green Eggs and Ham" in musical form shows how utterly fucking lame your arguments are.

That's the kind of willful ignorance a lot of the AVClub regulars have in regard to modern hip-hop, and ESPECIALLY Kanye West. He has produced some of the most influential albums of the past decade, and is universally regarded as a major figure in rap (a genre that is popular and important, even if it isn't to you).

Kinda hoped for a minute there that, stuck in a cabin in the middle of nowhere New Hampshire, Walt would finally take the time to record his album of acoustic confessionals. But alas.

Flight of the Conchords. Murray's classic "Go FUCK yourself Bret!"

You guys all act like this is anything new in music. John Lennon was a wife-beater and multi-millionaire who sung about living off the world in peace. David Bowie turned his songs into fucking stocks and made obscene amounts of money. Johnny Cash stole songs and burned down an entire forest once.

But just like a week ago AVClub gave it an A!! Have we turned our backs already?

I'm 17, loved Fight Club a few years ago, and am now really into Infinite Jest. Why must you hurt me O'Neal :((((

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAAHHA did you make that up??? That's HYSTERICAL!!!

Joke all you want, but Nic Cage is my favorite actor and Terry Zwigoff is one of my favorite directors. If Ghost World and Adaptation./Wild at Heart/BL:PoCNO can come together into some weird, flashy, tragicomic ball of nerves, I will be a happy man.

LOVE the Legend of Zelda funeral idea. My dream funeral song (God, that's dark) is "Anywhere I Lay My Head" by Tom Waits. The horns, the vocals, the melody… it's all perfect.

Anyone else vividly reminded of A Streetcar Named Desire here?

NO. Regardless of your affinity for their recorded music they are listless and boring live.

I first heard this band a couple years ago, thought they were okay, and then saw them live.

Oh my God. We're doing this already?

WHAT?! That's horrible! He's one of my favorite actors, and I never would have pegged him as the heroin type. He seemed so reliable. I know that doesn't make any sense as a justification but he always acts with such confidence and understanding that I guess I just assumed he was a reliable, calm person in real life.

I am a huge DL fan, and this is objectively one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It's not a continuation of Lynch tropes, it's a self-parody of them - the horrendous dialogue ("I am as light as a fart," "I'm just a wild turkey… gobble, gobble."), the ridiculously incomprehensible plot, the idiotic "surrealism."…

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation…

That's it exactly! They always put out quality music but I find it more-or-less impossible to feel anything more than strong "like" for them.

Can you explain to me exactly what Dave's comment meant?
