It's actually been pretty well documented that the MPAA grades independently produced and distributed movies much more harshly than their major studio counterparts. A lot of the members and voters themselves are people who own theater chains and hold high positions at studios, so they're out to protect their…

No, then they'll just make fun of you for constantly having one.

I was gonna recommend How I Quit Smoking and Thriller as well. Like @avclub-f0f254331b4693742ea6cc1379b84e73:disqus says, about half of Thriller is made of East River Pipe covers, but the arrangements are amazing.

Why not use "y'all"? That phrase is a good'n!

Which season had that episode with "Hold On Hope"? That always rubbed me the wrong way, mainly because it's a terrible song but also because it was used in the most obnoxiously cloying way possible. I think it was used when it was revealed that Brendan Frasier had cancer.

Oh man, I JUST got that cyclops thing. Damn, I'm slow.

I actually really enjoy Oasis, but fuck every date rapist that has ever played "Wonderwall" on an acoustic guitar outside of a freshman dorm building.

Wordplay!

There's nothing atop Gary Busey's plateau but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds.

Yeah, me too.

At least when FOX cancelled Arrested Development, they just said, "Fuck it, we're done!" and buried it against the Winter Olympics. There's some dignity in that.

The Cure's '80s stuff might be some of the strangest music to ever be a hit. Especially the stuff from The Top onward, where it's all awash in psychedelia and straight up masochism.

Maybe they weren't smoking weed, but the guys in Joy Division/New Order were definitely rocking some excellent drugs at one point or another. You don't make Technique without consuming your body weight in molly and acid.

The first kick he took was when he hit the ground!

Facts are meaningless and fleeting, but cheap sarcasm and irony is forever. Colbert 4 Lyfe!

Haha, well, I guess I could be, but that wasn't my intention. I heard second-hand that Dunham's parents at one time both wrote for that rag. I could be wrong.

I demand a release on Blu-ray!

Are you sure you're not thinking of that batshit insane bed bugs movie that Isabella Rossellini made?

I can never get into PiL. I always feel like I'd rather be listening to the Talking Heads or Lizzy Mercier Descloux or Paul Simon or whoever the fuck else.

I beat women all the time and nobody's giving me a Grammy.
