Came here specifically for The Ice Storm and The Sweet Hereafter. Two of my absolute favorites. (The Game is really enjoyable as well, but nothing I connected with as well as the other two.)

The Slackers, probably five or six times. I know ska is looked at askance, but I stand by that decision. Those shows were always a party.

Well, when the pandering is highly successful and there's a quota on the number of foreign films that can be released, I can't really disagree with the strategy.

I couldn't even get through the first thirty seconds of Free Design. Maybe the childlike joy inside me has been murdered, but I think I prefer it this way.

Anything by Dinosaur Jr. for me. I generally prefer the minimization of guitar solos, but anything by J Mascis gets a pass.

I'm about to replay it! I think it will hold up pretty well. The systems were really good, and the art style does what you can with the PSX.

Except Lucky Denver Mint is Jimmy Eat World's finest accomplishment.

Are you sure that Transformers actually had anything to ruin? Isn't the entire foundation just nostalgia for toys that we enjoyed when we were ten?

Yeah, way too much of a track record. I'm not super impressed by modern Square Enix, but it's not like I'm going to forget Vagrant Story anytime soon.

Yeah, if you're using that as your leading image, you're pushing the reader firmly toward "No, that is not the best hot dog and I kind of want to throw up."

That's an idea, but I'm pretty sure society has collectively decided to repress that Iggy Azalea exists.

If it weren't for Walton Goggins, I could get behind this take.

While Sisko is my favorite Star Trek captain, he's only my third favorite character on DS9. (Quark and Garak are 1 & 2.)

That sweet Laurel Canyon sound is back in Atomic-Blackadder's armpit serenade!

Tough to beat this album for a good ol' hatefuck.

Nothing like the Afghan's Whigs' Gentlemen to make your sex feel depressing and depraved. I'm going with that.

There's a description that will end pretty much any argument with its overweening pretension.

Might. Can't afford to take that chance.

All about the worst fries of any major fast food chain?

"Lyrically, the band took aim at the usual things punk kids despise—like big cities and the people who live in them"
