Actually saw it in the theater.
Dad was in the mood for some father-son bonding, and we saw ads for a pirate (woo, pirates!) movie in the paper, so we went. Opening weekend, Saturday afternoon. There were maybe two other people there.

I'll be contrarian to the contrarians
Joel isn't good.

Coldstone
Anything written about Coldstone on the Internet is inevitably accompanied by railing against the corporate beast in the comments, but really…..I've never heard anyone sing in a Coldstone, I've never seen anyone have an obviously rancid attitude toward their job, and the ice cream has always been tasty. I…

That DVD cover
is terrible. They couldn't possibly just take a picture with all three of them in it? They had to do a lousy photoshop job?

The previews
It was pretty surreal when the previews for this POS came on during Iron Man. The few people who attempted to laugh were quickly shut up by their friends.

CouldN'T, Scott. You couldN'T care less. Unless you were implying that you have the ability to care less about something, and for whatever reason haven't accomplished this task.

Kid A = Not Radiohead's best album. Not the best album of 2000. Maybe in the top 10 of the 00s. Maybe.

Sigh.
Somehow, I knew you folks were gonna give this an undeserving high B mark. Well done.

Saw New Hulk.
Was OK.

…this is an AV Club article that does not have the word "pulp" (or variations thereof) in it.

It was a reference to both the reviewer and the old classic "Pitchfork and AV Club differ pretty wildly on this album."

AV Club vs. Pitchfork!
Aaaaaaand…..go!

I'm digging it
This hasn't been a huge year in the music world, so it's nice to see a band knock one out of the park.

Disaster Movie?
Wow, no one's ever done a parody like this before.

A deep-felt confession
Joni Mitchell bores me. Always has.

Know what's crazy?
My wife! She goes shopping! Can you believe that? Me, I'm just an average guy. Know what I love? Slim Jims. You know? Those things are so great. And they're full of meat, and have no veggies! Which I don't like, because I'm an average guy! Not like my wife, because she's not a guy. She's a woman,…

Antonia
Has a voice exactly like my wife's.

Back in ye olde 2001
I personally checked out on Weezer when I got to college and they dropped the Green Album. That, as well as realizing the danger in believing "Gore = Bush, just mebbe some quasi-liberal judges!!!!!!", are two turn-of-century opinions that have been proven right with compounded interest over the…

South Park
Jimbo: Who's Radiohead?
Cartman: They're that band that sings that song "Creep." You know…I'm a creeeep…I'm a weeeener…
Ned: Errrrrrwhat the hell am I doing heeeeeere?
