Well, not as hard-left as PETA terroritsts and so forth, but she's hard-left compared to CNN.

I also think that it's valuable to have voices on their air that don't represent either hard-left (Maddow), middle-left (CNN), middle-right (Fox), or hard-right (Hannity). Maher, like a lot of us, "picks and chooses" his values from the left and the right. Most of his values are from the left, but some are from the…

Also the master of stories with a likeability rating that is inversely proportional to page number (that means that [with a few exceptions including Pet Sematary and Salem's Lot] his books get worse as they progress, and this is coming from a huge Stephen King fan).

I'm reanimating this old avatar for Liz. Her catalog is cauitionary tale. Not for artists though. No, the lesson is not something about hubris or "staying true to your self" or something like that. The lesson is for the tunedeaf listener. Music lovers (critics and consumers alike) have missed about a hundred fantastic…

Tusk became a meme—not because of the Americans and not because of Kevin Smith—but because of this forum, about five years ago. This is because of…

Telly is the best of the "modern" sesame street muppets. I enjoy his naive enthusiasm, which is tempered by anxiety.

I agree! I would also change EVERYTHING. I would start by adding some pretty CGI sunset images to that scene where R2D2 gets captured by the Jawas. Then I would add some extra CGI monsters and droids to Mos Eisley because of Joseph Campbell. I would also for some reason put pointy CGI toes on the lizards that the…

Yes, Dayv!, it's a lesson for other young musicians: if YOUR do-it-yourself project had professional songwriters, a pedigreed performer with nearly ten years (six years Canadian) in the entertainment business, and Madonna's record label attached, maybe it wouldn't sound quite so shitty.

I hate Shutter Island because Dennis Lehane is a hack who starts with a stupid twist ending and writes backward from there. Shutter Island is the worst kind of story…. boring for 95% of its running time, then capped with a logic- and physics-defying twist that explains why the movie was so boring and ridiculous up to…

No sleep 'til "Take a Chance on Me 2"

I liked the honeymoon too… I just watched it today based on this list! But I don't entirely agree with the interpretation by Alex McCown. I think it was indeed about people, and how they don't really know each other, like Alex said, but think honeymoon is more specifically about men and their expectations/fears…

A zombie manatee matinee.

Another movie idea: they bury a bunch of those kinects but leave a few of them kinected and they detect something moving down there (some entity, trying in vain to play Kinectimals, for instance).

That's all covered in Kubrick's The Shining.

You gave me an idea for a horror-bioficpic set in the 70s, with Bill Hader as Bob Barker and Hannibal Buress as Bill Cosby.

"Captain Deada's review of the novelization of the review of the TV special, Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued, about the album, Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes, is a wealth of factual information. I especially loved the appendix, which included a compendium of witty anecdotes regarding the making of…

The Led guitarist is on this album?!

How else will they keep track of the visions in their eyes?

Wow… restricting people from your establishments is getting really complicated.
