Very few shows can utilize a slow burn and minimalist approach as well as this show can. The opening is just pure tension. We become Jimmy and enter into that dark realm of the paranoid for a few minutes that drag longer than they feel and in the best way possible. That was incredibly well done.

This lost makes me nostalgic. It’s like the old Av Club. It’s a solid list, too, though a few omissions need to be mentioned.

The politics killed so much of what made this site great. It brought out nothing but ugliness. It’s a shame because the original comment sections were often articulate, intelligent and fun. Loonballs from both ends of the socio-political spectrum is pretty accurate. 

I always thought Frankenstein’s Monster was the most laid back. He just wants to make friends.

He wrote some of the best Outer Limits episodes(“Demon With A Glass Hand,” “Soldier.”) and contributed one of the most cynical and darkly humorous science fiction stories I ever read, the absolutely wild, “A Boy and His Dog.” He was a strange personality and probably more than that but one of the most notable genre…

It’s become the outrage of the week. 

Pantera are one of the great metal bands of all time. For most aficionados, a top ten band, alongside genre legends such as Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Metallica, Motorhead, Slayer etc.

Does that mean Andrew Lincoln will sing, “Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs?”

Gumby?

Just don’t do the lever trick that Arnold does with the 10 gauge in that movie. It nearly broke that dude’s hand...and we’re talking Ah-nuld here!

I actually tried liver and onions because Doug did in that episode where he thought it was being served at his crush’s party. He hated it and imagined the food as a monster even. I just had to see what the fuss was about.

The game looks to be TOO much. It’s a pity because with the technology we have now we really could have a genuinely frightening WW2 game that is very historically accurate. The trailer did not impress me. I’m not sure why everything today has to cater to the lowest common denominator. This looks like World War 2 as…

I was actually going to write about this. That first album by Montrose is one of the most impressive debut albums in rock and certainly one of the truly great hard rock/metal albums ever made. It is essentially proto-Van Halen with the same sort of energy that defined that band’s legendary self-titled five years…

It’s always especially sad to read these things. So much of classic Hollywood is gone now. An entire era of movie magic is fading into history. There’s a certain charm to these golden age films that has never been replicated. All the genre films from back then are unique and special in their own way. It was an era of…

American Graffiti is such a fun, nostalgic ride that it’s kind of amazing how much of the film’s epilogue is pretty much a bummer. It also suggests that Lucas could have done much more than Star Wars.

Well, you wrote my comment for me.

I was thinking the same thing.

That’s a good idea.

This form of mob mentality we see today is genuinely disturbing. It’s as if critical thinking has just been abandoned.

We truly do live in dark times.
