More like HBO BLOW. Get it?

Absolutely. I'd pay $10 for HBO just to stream Game of Thrones, which I have never seen, because HBO has seemingly gone to great pains to make sure I never see it.

I saw the Chicken and Waffles flavor once in a grocery store before I knew this was a "contest." I took a picture of them with my iPhone, not believing my eyes. I didn't buy them because I was on my way somewhere, but I fully planned on picking up a bag on my next trip to the grocery store.

Love the new look for Batgirl. I can't possibly afford all the books I'd like to, unfortunately, so I will probably just admire from afar.

I don't really get the Nick Hornby appeal. What am I missing? Is High Fidelity (the movie) pretty representative of the overall Hornby aesthetic?

I also hate how nobody says, "Goodbye." They just hang up once they feel the information has been conveyed. THAT'S REALLY RUDE.

Also hated: people having emotional conversations in the rain. Rain is unpleasant to stand in. No one has ever been that distraught.

Totally agree w/ Rourke being perfect in Iron Man 2. His reticence was made part of the plot. It works— he's not a cliché and he wasn't unbelievable…he was an individual. It was one of the elements of a flawed movie that I felt really worked.

I enjoyed "Happy Days" quite a lot in my youth, back when I was still "rawking." I have good memories of making it a point to put songs from "Happy Days" on mix tapes when I was driving my friends around with my shiny new driver's license, always hoping they'd be like, "whoa, who are THESE dudes?" and I'd be like, you…

Is it actually possible that at the end of Hickman's run this storyline is going to make sense? There are so many things that happen from book to book and are seemingly abandoned as he is eager to get to the next wrinkle.

This made my day (tearfully). And I know just how you felt when he died. I'd never cried for a stranger before and really don't expect to again.

I still miss my pal Roger Ebert. In fact I still get a little misty thinking about him. I go through a lot of books, and I don't think I ever really appreciated the fact that I subconsciously needed his voice in some way. I read plenty of Ebert reviews of movies I literally did not give two shits about, and never…

And let us not forget the outlaw Robert Ford, who…I painted myself into a corner here

This show is enjoyable. That is all.

But not as good as Deerhoof.

I can't explain why that sounds delicious, and I won't try.

I have no doubt that Nirvana would've moved in that direction given the time, but I do think there would've been plenty of people not content with that. Nirvana was such a bombastic presence that they might've found that transition difficult to say the least.

This album is decent. "Death and Destruction" is classic. But I just can't behind their more recent stuff. If Rivers wanted to pursue those musical interests, I am of the opinion he should've started a new band to do so.

Agree. We live in the age of the selfie. What could be more soul-hollowing than a thousand pictures of one's self?

I think the fact that these were some of the last pre-internet bands (at least, pre-internet as we currently know it) has a lot to do with this. Not saying these bands lacked exposure at all, but a certain lack of context and a lesser-traveled listener can actually help a band forge an identity— the band builds the…
