Andrea was done in from the moment Frank Darabont cast his buddy from The Mist Laurie Holden in the role. She was about 15 years too old for the character from the comic book and that caused them to start altering the character right from the start and quickly ruined her.

Interestingly, I think the second half of series 2 is when the show started to improve gradually but noticeably. And despite Soylent Green and Caitlin's complaints, this was one of their better episodes. Certainly better than anything in the first season at the very least.

I love Phantasy Star II so much. I can't imagine trying to play it on my phone, though. Using the iPad, on the other hand, would probably work.

I feel the exact same way about the Nintendo 64. But for its awful blurry polygons rather than its color palette.

That would make me very happy. Shining Force III, that is. Otherwise I'll just keep on playing current Fire Emblem games rather than revisiting the old Shining Forces.

Ron Howard should never be allowed anywhere near the production of a Star Wars movie. At least not since the revelation that Lucas gave Howard the chance to direct The Phantom Menace and instead insisted that George do it himself. It's at least partially his fault we got three prequels written and directed by Lucas.

Wait, Kansas' singer has a band called Mastedon? Why has Mastodon not filed a lawsuit? This is a way more legit complaint than when Royal Crown Revue legally forced The Amazing Royal Crowns to change their name.

I never knew that the novel Wet Goddess was part of a whole subgenre!

Yeah, I've spent my life living in Michigan and Houston and neither locale has It's It. Suddenly the Faith No More lyric from "Epic" seems a little less random, though.

As the guy in charge of the company on top, he has no reason to talk shit about DC. He doesn't have to, the results speak for themselves. DC has obviously been reacting to the MCU ever since they scrapped a Man of Steel sequel to rush their way into Batman vs. Superman and Justice League in a poorly-planned attempt to…

Nah. "Tonight, Tonight" is flat-out great. The string arrangement is excellent, the drums are perfect, the guitar riff is strong, and Corgan's vocal melody works despite his extreme nasalness. The only part of "1979" I've every really liked is the bridge, which is like 20 seconds of the song.

Spike Jonze has done a good job on Kaufman's films, too. Either one probably would've made Synecdoche, New York a more watchable movie than having it be Kaufman's directorial debut.

I mean, Nirvana tends to get all the credit nowadays but "Enter Sandman" and The Black Album started the death of hair metal a couple of months before "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Nevermind broke through.

Neither of those are good songs. In fact, I'd put "1979" on my list of most overrated rock singles of the 90's.

Welp, that might be it for me and Silicon Valley.

It really was a last gasp situation. The print runs for Panzer Dragoon Orta, Shining Force III, and Burning Rangers was always rumored to be as low as 5,000 copies each. But I found them and got 'em, and Magic Knight Rayearth, too, back when Working Designs was doing great work localizing JRPG's.

Beat me to it.

You literally have Rifftrax live shows there 3 times a year while the rest of us just go to the movie theater and pay for the Fathom Events simulcast.

No Texas? I am sad.

This headline also functions as the reason this shouldn't happen!
