I was browsing through Elliott's music on Spotify, as one does, and was surprised to see that this track was the second most played of his tracks (after Needle in the Hay, which was made famous in The Royal Tenenbaums).  This surprised me… I wouldn't have guessed this to be on a list of the top 10 best known Elliott…

I always felt that Urge Overkill was an underrated example of the Power Trio.

"Listen mate, you come into this office whinging about fucking Daleks again, I'll take this sonic screwdriver and stick it up your skinny arse — which for your sake I hope is like the Tardis, right? Bigger on the inside?"

Tell you what:  when you can introduce me to a landlord, grocery and health insurer that accepts Publicity as a form of payment, I will happily concede the point.

OK.  Let's break down this flotilla of bullshit for sport.

If you can't come up with amazing concepts for 'Behind the Candelabra' merchandise, then you should get out of the movie merch business.

I like this album a lot, the material is great.  But I didn't realize how key Bamford's physical presence/facial expressions were to her comedy until I listened to this.  There really is a missing element when you can't see her.  I suppose this is a problem inherent in all comedy albums, but I think it's particularly…

Blockhead (hiphop guy associated with Aesop Rock/Rhymesayers) did a fun remix of this track a while back:

Since this thread seems to have been taken over by PSB geeks (which is awesome!) I would recommend that everyone track down the album "Goes Petshopping" by the Swedish band West End Girls.  Basically, it's two Swedish teens covering PSB tunes.

You only tell him he's witty when you're drunk.

This show seems to hail from the NBC school of "Let's See How Many Characters and Storylines We Can Cram Into An Hour Long Dramady" (see Parenthood).

I've been loving these Primer pieces and this is the best one yet.  The Native Tongues movement sums up everything I love about hiphop: it was smart without being cynical, experimental without being obscure or inaccessible, it was capable of making serious points without taking itself too seriously.

Again, we begin with the premise that everything Melissa McCarthy does is amazing.  Even though she has done nothing amazing.  Gilmore Girls, Bridesmaids, Identity Thief, terrible Chuck Lorre sitcom.  All of it, essentially crap.  Not because McCarthy isn't talented—she probably is.  But this ritual of pretending that…

"I bought this game to teach my son Skylar critical pre-algebra math skills and I am VERY DISAPPOINTED."

There weren't enough cliff-hangers in this episode.

So much spin-off potential there.

Good call.  Perhaps a recipe for borsht flavored whisky?

I like Gervais, but I couldn't make it through the pilot for this show.  I'm sure there were talented people working on this, but the whole thing came off as extremely ill-conceived and comedically tone deaf.

I agree.  Can we please have a moratorium on articles suggesting that a particular artist doesn't "deserve" to run a crowdsourcing campaign.  While it's plenty fun to make fun of Zach Braff and Melissa Joan Hart, I don't see how a failed or ill-advised Kickstarter campaign threatens to "cut the movement off at its…

Dick:  great news!  Touchstone Pictures just greenlighted your script.  They've made some changes, though.  Now it's less a gritty drama about pencil factory life and more of a young adult fantasy about a pencil that magically comes to life and then solves crimes.  They're looking at Gwyneth Paltrow to star as the…
