Smiley Smile and/or Brian Wilson's Smile album from a few years ago. Very similar in feeling to Pet Sounds. If you want to get into the earlier, more punky surfing songs, I'd echo Waren Oates and say go for a collection—Endless Summer is a pretty good best of, exclusively made up of pre-Pet Sounds tracks (with the…

New X-Men (the Grant Morrison New X-Men, not the crap New X-Men: Xavier Academy they did after that run to capitalize on Morrison's run) definitely deserved to be on the list. Morrison's take on X-Men was absolutely brilliant, and while the Here Comes Tomorrow arc was insane, it showed that pretty much his entire run…

Everyone, especially Yeah, it's Winchester, is kind of overstating Kane's importance in cinema. Don't get me wrong, it's a great film, an important film, but a) it did not invent the language of cinema and b) film was not that young either in years or advancements in 1939.

I also spent a ton of time on Age of Empires (and AOE2, and AOE3), but I've always preferred, and probably spent more time on than any other franchise, the Sim City games to the Sims. Sim City 4 is absolutely amazing, filled with so much depth and complexity—much more than any Sims game ever showed, in my opinion.…

Louis Matata?

That sort of thing pops up for me in other songs on the list. Specifically Spanish Bombs—knowing the subject matter, I for the longest time thought he said "Yo te quera en Guernica, yo te quera, oh mi corazon." The real version makes more sense—the translation of my version is strangely pro-Franco (Spanish Bombs, I…

The Division Bell is pretty lame in my opinion. I like "High Hopes" and that's about it.

Fair enough, Tom Waits. But I stick with my pick of Band of Gypsies as Jimi's last for this theoretical inventory.

Agreed. I often feel like people think Sonic Youth broke up after Washing Machine and the Murray Street was a one off reunion album or something. While the time between those two albums may have been the bands weakest period, they can still make some great music, and it was nice to see Sonic Nurse get some love, an…

Yeah, the animated category was created to keep it out of the best picture category, which was stupid, but how many animated films have ever been nominated for best picture? Was there any other than Beauty and the Beast? I actually asking—I really don't know.The upshot is, though, that animation now gets big awards…

And Ken Jeong was in Michael Scott's improv group in "E-mail Surveillance."

Yeah, no hostility felt, so need to apologize.

In that second to last paragraph—the projectionist had better DO their job. Stupid typo.

Hey, I work in film, here's my two cents:

To build off of what Bonzob laid out, Howard IS devastated by what they do to Christine. That and Chad;s subtle undermining of him at work the entire film leave Howard completely broken. He goes to Chad's house to tell him that he can't believe the evil thing they did to this poor woman, but still clings to the notion…

Yeah, it's definitely become my favorite sitcom this year. I hope it can stay on the air.

The H? What the hell is the H?

I personally really liked the teaser's punchline to the euphemism-du-jour—Ted saying he wishes they'd shut the bagpipes up.

Alexandre Rockwell's room was by far the worst of them—the man convinced Tim Roth was having an affair with his wife. Truly awful, whereas Anders' and Tarantino's were both simply slight, dull but in the end fairly harmless. I agree Rodriguez's "The Misbehavors" was the best of them—a pretty well done slow burn that…

Once again building off of Prole Hole, his conception of time as read through the Campaign for Real Time always struck me as brilliant.
