I don't know Maria Bamford's work (though I admit it sounds a little annoying) but is it just me or does it seem like the AVC was just trying to stick a lady in the line-up? Oh well. At least they didn't pick Sarah Silverman. She's awful.

@Thylacine - Tell him about the Twinkie.

@Bill Reed - I agree.

I agree with all of you who are having a problem with this article's tone. This paragraph in particular:

@Thylacine, I commented on the first thread. This article is the worst thing I've ever read here at the AVC. I totally agree with you that if you can't enjoy Ghostbusters, then maybe you just can't enjoy. Maybe the writer also hates puppies and ice cream.

1980 only child here. This is the worst thing I've ever read on the AVC, and I've been around here for awhile. If you're a humorless scold and you don't like Ghostbusters, fine. I'm sad for you. But don't make claims based on your one viewing on this movie that are ridiculous.

Oh! Whoever just mentioned Rhonda from USA's *Up* All Night..I'm right there with you. I loved her. Although, I did also like Gilbert Godfriend as the host of same. Since I'm a chick, I don't know what that says about my sexuality, but both were great.

I've lived all over this great country and the best bagel I've ever had is still in Toledo, OH at Barry's Bagels. Salt bagel with veggie cream cheese. Best. Bagel. Ever.

I LOVE her! I totally want to track down her Playboy. What a cool lady.

@Atomicjack. thanks for re-affirming my point. But I'm not a guy ;)

Me too. Here's to a year late!

Yeah fuck Hulu. Until they start airing the entire season (including all the back seasons) and full episodes of So You Think You Can Dance, I just get what I need from the network site or Netflix. Fuck 'em. At least Netflix is worth paying for.

The WSJ does that too. I always click over there from google links and read the first paragraph and then a message comes up saying that if I "want to read the rest of the article" I need to pay a subscription. I value good reporting as much as the next person and I have friends who make their living as reporters, but…

Political scientists hate economists for the most part for trying to pretend that economics is an actual science and not a social science (meaning that it's subjective, not objective), so I'm already pre-disposed to hate economics. But, boy howdy, do I ever HATE economics and, to that end, economists. It's exactly…

Programs like TAL and audio books are great for long drives. My friends and I bought The DaVinci Code for fuck's sake on a cross-country drive and it was entertaining and hilarious. Especially because the male reader does the female voices in a hilarious whispery falsetto.

I HATE VARIETY SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WACK AS FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Misfits cover Monster Mash which is cool.

Second here for more metal columns. Most of what I listen to is 80s and early 90s metal. Which is not to say that there aren't great new releases to find and hear, but I'm sure there are some seminal older albums I don't have and I'd love to hear about them.

Ohio = Hell. I can confirm that. Nevertheless, Skeletonwitch = awesomeness.

I HATE when people compare Living Color with Bad Brains. There's no reason to do it other than that both bands have black members. They're not even close to the same kind of band.
