Wait, what happens at the end of Top Gun? Goose comes back, right, he's not really dead?

So, is there a single Zeppelin bio that neither grossly exaggerates/fabricates creepy stories of debauchery, nor falls prey to being dull and lacking in insight (like this book would appear to be)?

That's why I thought the production on My Name is My Name sounded a lot like that on Yeezus. And you have a point on the guest-overload. The more guest-y part of the middle of the album is the most forgettable, until you get to "Nosestalgia". But yeah, it's a great album.

Stuff I watched: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode 4: Easily the best episode thus far. There's still lots to be worked out, but there was a lot more good this episode than bad. Even Ward was almost interesting at times (or maybe that weird room was just really cool). I saw the new Parks and Rec episode. It was…

Please tell me you're joking about that plot point. Because, if not, what the actual fucking fuck???

Shit, that's disappointing to hear. But, in light of that, fuck him.

Asimov was a creep in real life? I was way too young when I read his robot mysteries trilogy to have picked up on any of the sexism that I'm now realizing could have totally been present. But it's really disappointing if he was indeed a skeeve in real life.

The Magician King generally seems to be regarded as at least as good as The Magicians (I believe The AV Club gave it an A). On the other hand, it contains yet another stupid glib piece of snark about sexual assault (which is particularly frustrating considering the fact that Grossman generally seems like a pretty…

You could make it into a two-three season long TV series, and yeah, that could really fix a lot of the episodic issues with making a film series. Maybe make the first season with 10 episodes like HBO tends to do, ending with (spoilers) the Baudelaires going on the run at the end of book 7, and then either make the…

The thing is I don't think that Carrey was completely awful as Olaf. I really liked him as Stephano, because it was a genuinely funny character, and because it was over-the-top in a way consistent with Count Olaf (whereas a lot of the over-the-top stuff about Olaf himself in that film were just Jim Carrey-isms. But…

Wasn't the first Doom pretty awful? And already named Doom 2000 or something silly like that which would make numbering any sequel kind of awkward.

It'd be really cool if Netflix could pick up Terriers for another season. Or, barring that, a kickstarter film sequel to the first season would be nice. I'm pretty sure I've heard both of these things suggested before, but I'm not sure if they were just suggestions by fans on the internet, or things that might…

Yeah, the design on Zaphod's head was a disappointment. Although ever since seeing the film, I've imagined Marvin's dialogue in the books in Alan Rickman's voice.

Although, despite Wiseau's being in on the joke now, didn't he turn down an offer to have his sitcom air on Comedy Central, because he felt it belonged on a major network? So, taking that into account, maybe a The Room 2 could work.

Speaking of fantasy sequels, Gaiman does have plans for a sequel to American Gods, right? Because, there's also that.

A Series of Unfortunate Events was an alright film, and despite its flaws (namely, Jim Carrey whenever Olaf wasn't in disguise), it would have been cool if they'd continued the series. Obviously, the first film was so long ago, that you'd either have to reboot the series, or replace the actors who played the…

I see where you're coming from, but honestly, if it means someone is being an asshole, then I do think there's something objectionable about being confrontational. There's plenty of room to state an opinion, even one that goes against the grain, without being a jerk.

Good luck!

Oh my God, your avatar is a blue sheep! I can't believe I didn't notice that before. Or that I felt the need to reply to this thread informing the online world of my ridiculous lapse in perception.

It's not that you don't like Faulkner, and it's not that you don't like Munro. It's that you comment on here like a confrontational asshole, and despite your putative matriculation at Oxford, you express your opinions of authors you don't like with the emotional maturity of a 16-year-old who gets pissed whenever…
