[sits tight and waits for the 8 millionth "Electric Bugaloo" joke in history to emerge in this thread]

Perhaps I need to go back and give the back half of Wilco (The Album) another chance. But this definitely circles back to my original point. There wasn't a single track on YHF that didn't grab me immediately and stay with me throughout repeated listening

I've heard a lot of people dog Sky Blue Sky as their worst album, but I actually preferred it to Wilco (The Album). It was certainly inconsistent and meandering at times, but Hate It Here, Impossible Germany, What Light, Either Way and the title track represent some of the best of their post-YHF work.

I love Wilco as much as anybody and will buy every album they ever release, but it's definitely been nothing but diminishing returns ever since they adopted the "some form of rock" approach to album making.

I think every member of the Modern Family cast is solid and deserved their nominations. Heck, I even think the kid that played Manny should have gotten a supporting actor nomination. But leaving out Ed O'Neill is a travesty. He completely ties that show together.

How about the fact that every single adult actor from Modern Family was nominated except Ed O'Neill? Is it because they submitted him as a Lead Actor and he just got beat out by Larry David (is he really acting? He's just playing himself) and the obnoxious guy from Glee?

How is Running Man not getting more love in this thread? That movie had everything: a Stephen King story, a dystopian science fiction future, political/cultural satire undertones, Arnold, Jesse Ventura, Richard Dawson, some hot South American woman, Jim Brown with a flamethrower.

A good first step would be no longer calling their two biggest awards Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

JVS - I didn't say it was a guarantee, I said it was their best shot

Yes they do. That's why Zombie Einstein and Zombie Isaac Newton still roam the streets at night

I took the statement quite literally as Ian McKellan saying "I'm at the point in life now where I could be dead any day"

James Bond
I enjoyed Casino Royale as much as the next guy, but if they never made another James Bond movie ever again would anyone care besides Daniel Craig's agent and European supermodels who saw being the "Next Bond Girl" as their best shot at worldwide fame?

I think movies are critic proof so long as they have an angle.

"If you're only going to see three movies this summer, make those three movies Iron Man 2, Inception and… Step Up 3-D"

Last Airbender
I forget who was arguing with me in the Last Airbender review thread that it wasn't going to make money because the reviews were just that bad that it couldn't recover.

Audioslave released their debut album. Say what you want about the calculation of their career, but I submit "Like a Stone" as one of the top rock singles of the decade.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Wilco fan, and I'm well aware of the concept of art as open to fair interpretation outside the artist's intent. I also felt like "Sunken Treasure" and "Misunderstood" hit very close to home when I was in college and first heard them (and, I should mention, had just gone through a…

That being said, the songs "No Poetry" and "Forget the Flowers" by Wilco hit very close to home for me the first time I heard them in college. And, in retrospect, they were also both probably just songs about Tweedy mocking Farrar.

Wasn't "Misunderstood" just Jeff Tweedy ripping on Jay Farrar? In fact, wasn't about 2/3 of the Being There album basically centered around Tweedy ripping on Farrar?

I picked it up from Keith Richards when I was touring with the Stones. It also may be why Keith can't be killed by conventional weapons
