Fair enough. Certainly her connections helped get her foot in the door. My only objection is to people who insist she has no talent at all, and owes her entire career to her connections. The webseries wouldn't have been a hit among her parents' artsy friends if it sucked.

Agreed. Her parents are a painter and a photographer. She's like a thousand times more famous than them. How many people who bitch about nepotism could even name her parents?

Their last tour was the other way around. A set of hits, then the second set was most of the new album followed by 4 or 5 more hits. It also helped that Clockwork Angels was actually good.

Yeah, the people you can picture, because you know what they look like.

Thirded. The line during the bomb scene, about how the riffraff in the bar may be drunks but they're still human beings and could still be salvaged, is an alltime classic. Plus you have the admiral selling the submarine to someone who didn't leave an address, Robin turning off the surveillance camera while Bruce was…

I read somewhere that when a critic bagged on them for releasing the same album eight times, Angus Young's response was that he was very offended - they [had] nine albums.

I actually have similar criticisms of the song.

Ugh, this is reminding me of the time my wife and I went to a movie with my parents, and my parents were the ones talking the whole time. Not on the phone, just what just happened, where do I know that guy from, where are they going, and so on.

If you don't get a jolt at the 10:00 mark of Hearts Alive…I think it's okay to give up on the band. They're not for you.

"some pro-choice people are only pro-choice in the same way"

And yet, if someone were to admit that he crosses the street when he sees a group of young *black* men walking toward them, and then used the skittles analogy to justify his attitude, hellfire would rain down on him with the fury of a thousand suns.

That's obviously what it means.  It says Katie Aselton's husband Mark Duplass.*  Not Katie Aselton's character's husband Mark Duplass' character.

Yeah, he pulled off the "our show is not for everyone, and that's fine" bit very nicely, without at all being a dick about it.

I'm sure Gilbert Gottfried is available to play himself.

King of the Hill - the parents forced Bobby and Luann to "marry".

mmm…you can really taste the kale!

Little Drummer Boy.

WalMart is intent on driving all the other cashier jobs out of town?  No more Target, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Starbucks, etc.?  Good luck with that.

The analogy is fine because El Dan didn't suggest that WalMart cashiers weren't being paid.  Cashiers apply knowing what the salary will be.  Outside agitators then complain about what WalMart and the cashiers have agreed on the compensation

Jockey trolls (elves? leprechauns? whatever) is exactly the episode that put me off the show too.
