"Hey, we have a really successful business model going… how about we completely ruin it and destroy ourselves?,"  said the Netflix CEO at a recent shareholders meeting.

Sonic Youth *should* be the main focus of the doc because they're *easily* the best band on the tour.  But yeah, the whole snotty "we're 2 cool for your venue" stuff is always insufferable no matter how great the band.

To a certain extent, I agree with you; very few contemporary artists even come close to being within spitting distance of touching the Stones' back catalogue.  But on the other hand, they haven't done anything even remotely worthwhile since the 1970s.   Further, a bunch of 70 year old guys singing songs about wild,…

I like Albini's production!  I also like To Bring You My Love, but I actually like Dance Hall at Louse Point a lot more.  I'd call Rid Of Me and Dance Hall my two faves.

She never topped Rid Of Me.  She did some cool stuff after, but Rid Of Me was her peak.  You know it and I know it.

Agreed.  I'd prefer to see them drop the inter-connected continuity altogether and just focus on good stories.  This isn't the real world, it's fantasy.  As long as you're internally consistent to the characters, their personality or defining traits, writers should be able to do whatever the hell they want without…

Those numbers are still low, though, or much lower than they should be compared to the numbers for movies / video games / stupid innernets.  The premise of Hunger Games (more or less swiped from Battle Royale) definitely appeals to young people with it's dystopian adventure + adolescent angst narrative, but most kids…

I think the biggest problem with reaching younger audiences (aside from the price point) is that kids don't read any more.  They just don't.  Harry Potter is very popular amongst young people, but about 90% of that fanbase is based exclusively on the movies because they don't read.  At all. They watch tv, play video…

Not since they started cutting it with levamisole.  It makes your nose rot off!

You know, like that Ted Haggard guy?  He was a raging anti-gay bigot fundamentalist right winger… but, he was doing meth and having sex with male prostitutes on the DL the entire time he was pounding the pulpit against homosexuality.

Yeah, so basically, he means the direct opposite of everything he says. Maybe that's why the prequels sucked — he wanted the folks working on it to do the opposite of what he told them to do.

A totally freaking hilarious shithead, apparently.  The best kind!

So, he's essentially the same as anti-gay bigots who turn out to be secretly gay. The only difference being that when they fuck people in the ass, they do it consensually; Ole Georgie Boy fucks us in the ass whether we want it or not and then asks us to pay for it.

Of all the unbelievably stupid things done to Star Wars, this one finally killed it for me.  You could easily avoid the prequels, but now he effectively ruined the originals (aka the good Star Wars movies) as well.  Good luck trying to sell those blurays that nobody wants anymore you fat-neck, artistically bankrupt,…

In my early morning haze I thought that headline said "Damn Whitey, aka Larry The Cable Guy" and I chuckled.

Yup.  Mostly awesome, sometimes cheesy, but in a cool way.

Looks like Neo, talks like Dirty Harry.

Water fell from the sky! It was unprecedented. I'm surprised anyone is still even alive.
