Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are a notable exception.

Didn't know Trent was going to be in Twin Peaks, I think that's kind of sweet in a way. I have not been interested in anything Nine Inch Nails has done since The Fragile but I am glad they are staying relevant.

He's a cartoon from the 90's!

I really don't get the Fincher love either. He seems like a poor man's pulpy thriller Cronenberg.

Okay yeah, that makes sense. That has actually only recently dawned on me.

So, all this child solider stuff, are you guys talking about how Professor Xavier's school is kind of a child soldier terrorist camp, or is there something much more explicitly darker going on in these comics that I am totally unaware of?

……What in the hell is going on in the X-Men?

I read that and totally believed it, I don't really read comics but that sounded perfectly plausible to me.

Question, when someone like Patrick Stewart ages so god damn gracefully, are we all just too polite to suggest he has had plastic surgery?

Nooo, I don't want to hear that. Patrick Stewart is a national treasure (The U.S. as well as the U.K.)

And even then….

Right? Shitty Oscar Bait formula aside, Horrible Rapists aside, that shitty blue tint is enough to make me not watch it.

I wish this movie didn't have Prestige worthy oscar bait formula because otherwise I would be a lot more interested in it. I am really drawn to the subject matter so I might see it regardless.

Woody didn't get an Oscar nom last year?

Very True. We really are living in weird times.

I remember hearing about Nate Turner's story in history class and thinking it would be an awesome movie. I think I want to see it on that reason alone. But IIRC Nate did slaughter women and children and I fear this movie will avoid those complications.

It kind of brings up an interesting point. If Steve did that today or some other young band did that today would they get away with it or would it fall into Jared Leto-like ridicule. Throbbing Gristle would use Nazi and Holocaust imagery in their performances to make a statement but the band Viet Cong changed their…

Being uncalled for seems basically like Steve Albini. He really was a confrontational artist in the fullest sense of the term. I was wrong about the razors but here is the relevant passage from Wikipedia:

Didn't Steve Albini send razors and used condoms in Album sleeves for the second Big Black LP?

That really is a disturbing header picture AvClub, I hope you got the same sick thrill of posting that as Jared Leto gets sending his friends presents.
