Remarkably prescient, if it had been about Norwegian black metal. 'These kids and their corpse-painted nazism! When will they learn.'

NSFW and WTF are acronyms? Only if you are suffer from chemtrail-induced colon collapse disorder, then that is probably the sound you make. Otherwise they are initials. Remember your Carlin: 'CIA and FBI are not acronyms, they're just pricks'

If he only made Oh, What A Lovely War he would already had done enough. To me that is the pinnacle of his achievements.

Unclaimed Freight Productions, because Trailblazing Productions was taken.

Relax, what are the chances of him finding a 'good emotionally strong story'. And of course when he doesn't this whole thing will blow over.

But, but…what about my Deep Forest credibility? Are you saying that somewhere in the jungle there are not living some 'little people' who are our past and maybe, maybe our future?

Remember when a rock/heavy metal band would do a music video tie-in for your action/horror film and it didn't reduce the credibility of both to kitsch hilarity? 'You Could Be Mine' expressed what everyone was thinking about cocaine tongues in Terminator 2.

Ohhh, 'Assück', sorry when you mentioned grindcore I was thinking of Anal/Cunt

We are missing the really thing here. He was trying to get inside the mind of people who thought he was shit (or just banal). Can you imagine what kind of mindfuck it must have been to try and get into the head of some little man who lives, LIVES, off of taking potshots at a star, like some pathetic tick. To get into…

When pressed the plaintiff could not recall the exact details of the crime but claimed that it definitely had something to do with O'Neal quoting from Common Dreams site story and getting all sorts of blowback as a result. It could have all been a fever dream.

Yes, and then her response included the justification that Santa was white because he was based on the Greek St. Nicholas, who was as white as Jesus. But, hey, 'political correctness gone mad', amirite?

As someone with a similar Antipodean condition I also want to add what an awesome column this was. I knew shit all about the protagonists beforehand but that did not matter.

At a time when the AV Club is itself becoming a niche television review site this is a very pointed and necessary piece. I am sure it is also motivated by certain members of the commentariat here, whose response to anything political has been, 'hey, this is a pop culture site!!!! stop making me feel uncomfortable!'

What's Eric Idle's excuse?

Yeah, I really want to like this but it has Star Wars prequels written all over it. On the other hand I am perfectly fine with them going through the motions and making more money.

It always reminds me somewhat of the dark dub stuff by the post-grindcore crowd (Techno Animal, Scorn etc.).

Three cheers on keeping up the covert Electronica column, Sean. If Heller keeps up his punk/metal sorties we can take TV Club…or at least increase your value for the inevitable Pitchfork takeover

If only there was some kind of energy that wasn't fossil fuel or nuclear. But of course that's impossible because it would require all the massive government subsidies that fossil and nuclear don't get.

Wait! 3 Mile Island is in a non-hierarchical culture?

Good call on Nolan's pomposity. He is seriously becoming the James Horner of directors with hands so heavy they turn 90 minutes into 3 fucking hours.
