It's true — that pin-up girl look just slays me.

He's pretty much a Christmas music novelty act now. :(

Nth Metal.

Royal Crown Revue and Brian Setzer Orchestra were awesome, and so were Squirrel Nut Zippers, who were doing '20s and '30s hot jazz as opposed to the '30s/'40s swing and jump blues the other bands embraced.

Those were my first two years of college, and I LOVED all the musical subcultures people were embracing at that time: third-wave ska, swing, surf, rockabilly, lounge music, trip-hop. I was playing sax in a ska-punk band, away from home for the first time, going to cheap shows and seeing awesome bands… it was a great

It's my favorite comedy film of this millennium for sure. I love Walk Hard madly.

Agreed. I first heard about it on this site, and it blew my mind with how good and how WEIRD it was. Imagine David Lynch directing an ultraviolent action movie and making it as much of a nightmarish psychological thriller as possible, and you'll be close.

I HATE that Earwolf tag. It makes me cringe and makes me angry every time I hear it.

Namond's mother. She was the WOOOOORST! And I liked Mouzone too, but he just seemed a bit out of place in the hyper-realistic worst Simon created.

I thought Dave was the worst character on Happy Endings. Everyone else brought their own unique humor to the show, except he didn't bring any.

I even liked Mulaney, as much as I could for a bland Seinfeld ripoff. John Mulaney is one of my favorite comedians, Nasim Pedrad is always great to watch (for multiple reasons), and Elliott Gould was hilarious as the gay, ex-hippie neighbor who had seen it all and done it all (and seemed to foreshadow Mulaney and

Brother Mouzone always felt like he was from a different show — a much more fantastical, Hollywood-ized show.

It mostly contains TPBs rather than single issues. From DC, there's a nice variety of evergreen classics (the different Crises, all the Batman books you're thinking of, Watchmen, etc.), New 52 titles (it's how I read Lemire's Green Arrow and sampled Justice League 3000), and complete sets of Sandman and Fables.

It's a third-party service available through the library called HooplaDigital, with a small selection of movies and TV shows available for streaming (much worse than Netflix/Amazon/Hulu), as well as e-books and graphic novels. I suspect Hoopla just doesn't have a contract to provide Marvel content, like how Netflix

I just read that one over the weekend and enjoyed it the most of all the A&A volumes so far. I've read the first six Archer & Armstrong volumes by Van Lente, and the first two Quantum & Woody volumes by Asmus, thanks to my public library's e-book program (which includes selections from DC, Image, Valiant, Dark Horse,

I have a bit of a weird phobia of creepy, decrepit, partially- or fully-abandoned malls, due in part to lots of time spent in malls in the '80s and '90s, and a nightmare about a seedy, dark, crumbling mall full of scary stalls and unsavory shoppers — kind of like the late night porn market scene in 8mm, that awful

I'm waiting for Kether Donohue and Kat Dennings, myself.

You might be thinking of Lost River, Ryan Gosling's Lynchian directorial debut from last year. Hendricks worked in a "fetish club" of sorts, but it's not what you're thinking, and she definitely didn't play a dominatrix. And nobody was more disappointed than I.

I'm with you. That's why I'm usually just fine with action movie violence (cartoonishly simplified, cathartic good vs. evil) as opposed to horror movie violence (usually with evil triumphing over good, and good never standing a chance).

I watched it this weekend, and if not for Mad Max: Fury Road existing, it would have been my favorite movie in this relatively underwhelming year of movies.
