Best 30 Rock joke ever: depicting Elvis Costello as an international jewel thief. So if any show were able to pull off a bizarre alternate reality where Kim Jong Il fakes his death to get on the Today Show, it's this one.

Alright, top 5 GBV records. I'm keeping it to just GBV, because if I tried to figure out my top 5 all time favorite Pollard albums we could be here all day.

It mystifies me that a record containing "Girls Of Wild Strawberries," "Everybody Thinks I'm A Raincloud," and "Huffman Prairie Flying Field" is considered mediocre or unworthy.

Chris Mars couldn't keep a rhythm either. Guess that means The Replacements suck.

I nominate my dad. He loves it.

Whenever Rocket's not posting, all the other AV Clubbers should be asking "Where's Rocket?"

From the director of George Washington, All The Real Girls, and Undertow comes… Good Times! A show about two California stoner doofuses who want to tittyfuck some hot bitches!

The best movie in this category is The Two Of Us, about a Jewish boy in France during the Nazi occupation. He's sent by his parents to hide with a friend's parents, who happen to be anti-Semites, in the countryside. It's hilarious and it contains what is probably Michel Simon's best performance ever.

Was that Kolya? That sounds like it, except the kid in that movie may not have been an orphan.

I still haven't seen The Artist yet, but I have a feeling that history's not going to be very kind to it. It's just another rising star vs. falling star movie, which has been done to death, and when it comes up in conversation the only thing that is talked about is the novelty of its style, which I take to never be a…

"Unwatchable, but it's endearing and sweet."

Remember my post above where I made fun of people who will defend any shit music even if it's the most blatantly shitty fucking thing somebody ever shat out of their shit-covered asses?

"I mean, not much worse, but there are a few, I guess. Like Trapt. Remember Trapt?"

Ass: The Movie

"Spin Doctors are better than Blues Traveler!" What year am I living in? Is this a legitimate argument? Even if the Spin Doctors are better than Blues Traveler, you're still listening to and defending the fucking Spin Doctors! And I like how you referred to them as "funky," like that flaccid, half-assed white boy slap…

The comments on that video are incredible. Mostly a bunch of idiot folk asking why everybody hates this song and Scott Weiland. I am always amazed by people who just cannot bring themselves to call something a piece of shit when it is so obviously a piece of shit. There are some things that do not deserve and…

Let's not forget this gem. The best part is the description that says, "Song copyright EMI, apparently." The song itself, and album it's on, is absolute ass.

Not even good enough to be butt-rock. Puddle Of Mudd is second tier butt-rock.

I get what you're saying, but there's a world of difference between Corgan taking the sound of Loveless and using it to approach stadium rock style music and the cash-in post-grunge bands who only saw dollars in their eyes. I'm probably being overly reactionary, but aside from maybe the first year immediately…

There are fewer things more frightening than overly defensive, bordering-on-blind-hero-worship Smashing Pumpkins fans. That said, Machina II is a lost gem and this Teargarden thing is turning out to be surprisingly mediocre and could wind up being pretty good.
