They could call the two of them "The Mercs For Money"

Traditionally, I get drunk and excitable about superheroes and then watch their shows or read their comics, but in this case, I watched the show and got disappointed and drunk enough that I wouldn't remember the finer points of its failure.

Tangent: Does anyone else want there to be a metafictionally-headfucky X-Men movie where Morrison plays Professor X?

McKean's too busy working on Cages 2.

The NG+ Mr. Freeze fight in City is easily my favorite moment in the series and one of my favorite boss fights in general.

The Scarface game had a dedicated cursing button. If I recall correctly, it was infamously racist towards Haitians.

That's The Spirit!

Look out, Stevie Ray Vaughn! Look out, you cheesy Texas motherfuckers!
His commentary on the solo in Part 3 always cracks me the fuck up.
That band fills me with glee like nothing else.

Overindulgent ones are bad, I won't dispute that. But that's usually a problem with the songwriter or performer, not a solo problem. And some songs rightfully call for long (in my book, longer than four, maybe eight bars) solos - you'd have a hard time successfully arguing that The Devil Went Down To Georgia or…

Calendar Man Presents: Harley Quinn's Valentine's Day Lovestravaganza

It's a gritty reboot of No Exit!

I had a snarky response to this, but I've spent too much time getting drunk and emotional over Spiderman comics to backsass even the AV Club Spidey.

This is almost as bad as Red Lobster's fried chicken.

Also, all you anti-solo hipster scumfucks can fuck right off, all the way to hell. Solos are great, even if they could often stand to be more concise.

Huh. I'm a huge NoMeansNo fan and will listen to anything remotely adjacent to that band, but I have a blind spot for Showbusiness Giants. What's their best record?

This question is unfair, I don't know how to compare saxophone solos to drum breaks. They're both great, there's plenty of each that I love, but they operate on completely different terms.
So I'm going to go with Mike Patton's mouth solo on the Moonchild tune Litany IV.
If you haven't heard it before, here you go: https…

It is.

I notice that Saw VI (where the Jigsaw Killer tackles the difficult work of healthcare reform) escapes McLevy's scorn.

You'll never need to convince me! Didn't We Deserve A Look At The Way You Really are gets stuck in my head for days on end. This Is A Picture and Copper are probably the only two Steve Albini songs I'd consider sweet. (maybe also Bad Penny).

They're probably already on your radar, but Lard is fucking great.
edit: and if they aren't - classic Ministry lineup, but with Jello Biafra on vocals.
