I do this too. The one where she's talking about her bad seed daughter is my favorite.

I never bother with the user grade thingamjig. Boy, had I known this was going to happen I would've been clicking like a lunatic on Hannibal.

No, but I keep meaning to buy the Motherfuckers Wanna Laugh Harris Wittels Memorial T-Shirt.

Any time Scott does a character it's just the best/worst.

Now Besser doesn't have to do another Christmas episode slamming the AV Club! Which is kind of a shame.

This is the sort of thing that just flicks a switch in my brain - I can't even begin to describe the cold hatred I feel for the men involved. That casual, detached, completely dehumanizing attitude - I want to kill them, actually. I would pretty much like them to be dead. I wish I didn't react to this type of violence…

I'm a female person who once or twice bellyached a bit about this column. When I realized how much of the "criticism" was indefensible harassment and/or silencing I was despondent - it wasn't my image of the AV Club commentariat at all. But this is the internet, and assholes are impossible to avoid (and I suppose…

Their music comes pretty close to being a religion for me so I agree with this assessment.

I don't agree that Achtung is when they began to sell out, at all - I think it's an incredible artistic achievement - but The Joshua Tree is the greatest album of all time as far as I'm concerned. It's all peak. YES, EVEN "EXIT."

I also graduated from high school in 92 and am grateful I got to see Zoo TV twice.

In fairness to Todd, Harris Wittels's favorite U2 album is Pinkerton by Weezer.

Have you listened to the new one?

The single best moment of the tour.

As I was listening to the Boston ep I was going OH MY GOD NEIL IS KILLING IT SO HARD. To have Scott, Paul, and Lauren later devote a substantial chunk of time to discussing how hard Neil killed it was so delightful.

Edge is tremendous and the lyrics are tremendous. It's a Judas song for me but you're right that it definitely doesn't have to be. When Edge named it as one of his favorite U2 songs in the UTU2TM interview I was so delighted.

I have to say I like the first four tracks where they are, but the sequencing does make the middle bit stand out even more than it otherwise might have.

The older I get the less likely I am to agree with this perspective. I don't want creative people to stop being creative just so I can point to their catalog as something near-perfect. And I don't want to live in a world without Every Breaking Wave, let alone a world without Zooropa.

Oh god that verse of Staring at the Sun always makes me shake my head. What the hell is he talking about.

Every once in a while I still think about the fact that Boy got 4 minutes while Rattle and Hum got 4 hours and I get irrationally angry at the Scotts.
