I'm sure people have suggested this before, but can you all cease the autoplay function on the original videos you post?

D'oh, should have read 'fill' (or even 'fulfill') instead of 'full'.

Apologies, as I'm surely not the first one to mention this
Can you get rid of the pre-order/autograph ad for your book? It actually does you a disservice, making us think that the book, despite being out a while already, has done so poorly that you still need to full that pre-order quota.

Unironic praise
For some reason I still think of Alison Willmore as a provisional member of the AV Club's tightly guarded circle of film critics, and I shouldn't: her reviews are great and I think she's written the best For Your Consideration pieces that have run so far. There's a lot of potential for that feature,

Subtext
Don't you mean pretext? That the film will be a collaboration or the telling of the subject's story — that's offered as a pretext. (And in the case of respectable filmmakers I would assume that, at most, only happens "often" — not routinely — because these filmmakers ultimately have to assert their right to

It's PRI, people

Would love to see some more DIY comics covered here… thinking of the irregular Hive journal and the other stuff from its overlords at the Grimalkin Press.

The Departed

Advertising
Hey, Noel, you heard of Fables of Abundance by Jackson Lears? I don't know if it gets into cigarette advertising, but I imagine it would help place this in a broader historical context.

Record Town
Record Town is still open in Fort Worth and is run by the late Stephen Bruton's older brother, Sumter, also a musician in his own right, and their mom. It is as far as I know the only family- and independently-owned music store in Fort Worth.

Book vs Film
Can we expect one for this or is the series dead? I read the book several years ago so my memory of it is fairly hazy; I'd first read Kirn's Thumbsucker and quite liked it, and thought the film adaptation was decent enough, though it's certainly not brilliant or anything. So I started on Up in the Air

In the Heat of the Sun
Jiang Wen's first feature — extremely difficult to get a hold of, but brilliant. I understand he's got a vignette in the New York, I Love You film? Is it any good?
