I might get screeched at, since it seems like the SSX community is cultish in their devotion, but I've never "gotten" the series. The tricks are way too flimsy-feeling, the rubberband racing is in full effect, and the stinginess of the turbo (until your meter is maxed out, in which case you never run out) is a pain in

I would love to be able to consistently stream. But A. I enjoy managing my musical library, and B. (and more importantly) my computer is OLD AS SHIT, so it can barely accommodate YouTube streams, let alone if I decide to switch songs mid-play.

Wait a second. Justified's second season would have been incomprehensible if you started in the middle of the season; the "episode that saved television" was the climax of like five different plot points.

Never been to the Midwest, Noel? EVERYONE says that there.

Hahahahahaha, yeah, fucking TAKEN is a movie that rewards multiple viewings.
First viewing: A bunch of bad guys get punched in the nuts after stealing a BAD DUDE'S daughter.
Second viewing: Oh shit, that guy who just stole a BAD DUDE'S daughter is about to get punched in the nuts!

I've gotta say: The Sopranos is an absolutely amazing show. Give it a shot.  If you like Deadwood's way with profanity and occasional violence, you'll like the Sopranos.

I'm balls deep in the third season right now, and I personally think it's absolutely stunning.  It took an act of will to get through season one, but seasons two and three should be put in the Smithsonian.

WHAT IS THE APPEAL OF MR HUDSON??? Can someone explain this to me? He's an albatross!

However, a nature documentary filmed like MST 3000, with accompanying commentary of course, is a literal million-dollar idea

Whenever the Simpsons tries to portray something cool, they fall flat on their face.  Ugh.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, IT'S NOT "POUR OVER TEXTS" BUT "PORE OVER TEXTS". When did this become a THING?!?!?

Okay, seriously: I saw this movie in the theater.  How many can say the same???
(It should be noted that I saw it because I grew up in a small town and hated everyone around me)

Don't see the point to these movies, never will

Don't forget about M.A.N.T.I.S.!!!
Loved that show . . . 

The thing I liked about the Ann storyline was that it showed how narcissistic Chris actually is. I've noticed a lot of the people who work on themselves constantly are also the most vain; I liked the verisimilitude

An AVQ&A with a Jawbreaker song for an answer? Crazy!
What's next, some kind of connection to Husker Du? Impossible!  I refuse to believe such a thing could ever happen!

Doesn't he write their songs, too?  Seems a bit silly to fire your lead singer AND the person arguably most responsible for all of their success, all at the same time

Creamed corn gets a bad rap.  It's delicious.

Having loved Drew's columns over the years, I think his rebuttal to this review would be: "FUCK YOU. DAGGER!  I MUST HAVE IT"

Not related, but: James Blake. I don't get it at all.
