I wouldn't tell Tom McMillen that he was on a team that won the silver medal. The 1972 US Basketball team refused to accept the silver because they felt that the referees gave the USSR the game.

Reason Magazine - the magazine for self-proclaimed libertarians who vote for every Republican candidate on the ballot in every election. It will publish articles condemning environmentalists in every issue, but the next time I see an article condemning a major religious figure for threatening individual rights it will…

I find it amusing that the right wingers are upset that Bradley Cooper isn't one of them because he played one of their heroes in a movie. I also find it amusing when they get excited when they learn that even a D-list entertainer shares their political point of view. "Most celebrities are idiots, but that Antonio…

I bought Firewatch a few weeks ago on a recommendation without knowing anything about it. I was intrigued by the first part of the game, which told the protagonist's back story. After playing the game from the perspective of a burly alpha male type, I was shocked that the character's voice was that of…Harry freaking…

When that song first came out I was happy that Tegan and Sara became something of a household name. Then one of the Boston area afternoon sports talk radio shows played it every time they felt the need to piss in the Cheerios of their audience, which they do every five minutes on average. Eventually local running sore…

Seeing how Arrested Westeros has been around for about six years now, you're probably right.

They make me laugh when I read one or two at a sitting, but the more you read the less amusing they become. He really likes depicting people swimming in a lake of fire.

You wouldn't be spoiling anything if you mentioned Conner's real identity. We all know he turned into Pete Campbell.

For me, Scarface falls off the cliff after Tony Montana kills Harris Yulin's character and makes a job offer to a rival's henchman. The second half of the movie charting Tony's downfall just isn't as interesting as watching Tony accrue power and money in the first half. Also, the repeated obscenities get real boring…

For me, the scenes after the opening of the box make the movie. I like all of what you like about it, but my favorite thing about Mulholland Drive is watching a decidedly unglamorous Naomi Watts come unglued when she discovers the truth about her life.

Saying that Billy Talent can't fill hockey arenas in the United States like they do in Canada isn't a particularly good comparison. Actual hockey games have a hard time drawing large crowds to hockey arenas in many parts of the United States, so why would a Canadian musical act be any different?

You're far too kind to the Killers. They're the worst popular indie act of the 2000s bar none.

I'm surprised that you have nothing by Nick Cave. He's prolific enough that I'd think at least you'd have at least one of his CDs.

Release a version of Katamari Damacy for the PS4. That's all I'm asking for.

Make that two minds. I've recently started to listen to my American Analog Set CDS after years in storage.

I remember when the makers of Chex cereals issued a game called "Chex" that was exactly like Doom, except without the blood.

The picture with the rainbow makes me laugh every time I see it. It looks like a screen shot from something like Teletubbies or My Little Pony.

The woman on the cover of that Roxy Music album is now married to Rupert Murdoch. Mull that one over.

I remember a television critic calling Jack Klugmam "the biggest bore" on TV at the end of Quincy's run. A little harsh but not unwarranted.

Bllie Whitelaw scared me more than any of the corpses left in Damien's wake. And while Lee Grant's revelation at the end of the second movie seems silly now, when I first saw it as a teenager it was like finding out that my own aunt was a Satanist.
