For this message-board play, i'm taking on the role of 'The Voice of Reason'. You may continue arguing below, riff-raff, whilst i prance about on the high road.

Primer
i don't suppose this counts as comics, but i would have liked to see the complete 'Get Your War On' collection in here. Along with Tom Tomorrow, this was my sanity valve during the Bush years.

And the Ghostbusters article wasn't that negative. Again, i thought it was thoughtful, honest, and had more of a playful tone than anything else. It's true that if you miss out on something in its time, revisiting it out of context later can be disappointing. i mean, 'There's Something About Mary' and those Austin…

Counterpoint
Aww, come on, lay off Mike. He makes some interesting points, some i agree with, some i don't. Ultimately, i'd rather he be an individual with a unique, elitist point of view than a reflection of what his audience wants to hear. It's easy to agree that Lost is great or that New Moon sucks, but give the…

Everyone else has mostly said it better already - i disagree with the writer, long takes good, yada yada. Orson Welles said something to this effect ('Longer takes are for bigger men' or something), and used it expertly throughout his career, particularly in Touch of Evil, Citizen Kane and the Trial. i follow the…

'Grist' is a good start for Metalheads: metal + drill'n'bass = mindfucking

So, to summarize:
Metal, which consists of guitars + drums + bass, gets 30 top picks of the decade in a column by one guy.

Yeah, this is bad. i'd rather they not bother. It's like getting movie recommendations from my Mom.

FAIL
This is the worst list ever. Does AV Club even listen to electronic music? Vastly better albums:

Marc Maron
Okay okay… his CDs aren't great. But his work along with Kent Jones, Jim Earl et al on Morning Sedition deserves some props. If it hadn't happened on marketing-challenged Air America and had actually been released on CD, it'd definitely be up here. And since Zack gets on here as a DVD, i believe i'm…

Yeah! Shut up Kimstaff! This hat guy spent the last ten years watching all these TV shows and more, making him the sole essential God-like being capable of sneering at this list. Also, he knows pants are best worn skin tight with a funky scarf, and Grizzly Bear is awesome because Pitchfork says so.

Burn Notice
If Burn Notice is here, it's not on any other lists. Which begs the question: why isn't Burn Notice on any other lists?

Yes, we're still in hell
Growth = sounds like the eighties.

i was going to go with the Right Brothers.

Is Marlon the funny one? Or is he still a Wayans brother?

HOLY SHIT ORANGES ARE A FUCKING HASSLE.

"A nice, beach-side resort"
During some openings, if you freezeframe on his briefcase as he's packing, there's a photo of a nice beachy-looking place, perhaps hinting at exactly that - that he was just going someplace nonthreatening to live out his remaining days in obscurity and peace.
