Frank Black's cool, but he's no Black Francis.

Only 150 people? That show must have been insane! Please, regale me with stories!

Because we live in a society where every fucking asshole kid is a unique and beautiful snowflake.

We. WE are the world. 'Cause you see, there comes a time when we heed a certain call. When the world must come together as one.

I think the most irritating thing about that phrase is that it paints films and the art of filmmaking as inessential. It reinforces the very narrow minded and dumb idea that films are nothing more than entertainment, and if you try to look at them beyond the surface then you're the one that's stupid. And that, my…

The, "It may not be Oscar material, but," line implies that anybody who has anything negative to say about anything ever is an uptight dick. The reality is that some things are shitty, and the shitty people that not only enjoy shitty things but also defend them need to be called out for being shitty. You're being…

I love In Bruges and I wasn't trying to insult it. I was just trying two make the point that morons like @avclub-f244bef92b378acd706f98f07ef49708:disqus  tend to separate films into to different classes: "elite" films and "normal" films. If you like "elite" films like In Bruges, then, according to these fucking…

Why does every fucking moron have to qualify enjoying a shitty movie by saying, "Well, it may not be Oscar caliber material but blah blah just put a bullet in my stupid goddamn head blah blah"? Should our only choices as an audience be between In Bruges and Paul Blart: Mall Cop? Go fuck yourself!

Who is driving car? Bear is driving car! How can that be?

I'd like to echo the pro-Nutty Professor sentiments being expressed in this thread. The sequel was abysmal, though.

My fingies hurt from typing this comment!

Germany circa 1938.

I imagine it involved a trip to Eastern Europe, a la Rocky IV.

I have a pretty good internet connection that always streams at the highest quality and a computer from 2008-ish, but to be honest, even when it's streaming in "HD" the picture is still a little pixelated and the sound is very obviously compressed to a pretty low bitrate. It's cool for convenience sake, but streaming…

Is this the reason why it's taken over a week to mail me The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest?

I remember a few years ago when Johnny Cash's American V album came out and it was considered a huge disappointment because it opened at #1 with "only" 100,000 copies sold. There were a bunch of articles proclaiming it the worst week for music sales ever and that it represented the bottoming out of the record industry.

It only takes 17,000 units to land in the top 10 now? Good lord!

I'm sure that would blow a few minds.

It's kind of funny what an intelligent and well-versed guy Dave really is, because that's the exact opposite impression he gives off. Henry Rollins has a story about how he ran into him at an art gallery in the mid-'80s, and he wouldn't stop talking about how much he loved Black Flag and Ray Pettibon. Years later he…

@avclub-1441762ea1630bc0605fdcef3984e996:disqus Shoulda clarified, I mean "message" when it is applied to a discussion of music or movies or something like that. IE, "The message of this song is blah blah blah." I think it's such a reductive, simplistic, and plain old idiotic way of talking about something that had a…
