Seriously, indeed.

I really appreciate O'Neal's even-handed tone here towards something that could have easily been blessed by so much of his patented snarky derision. I bought this soundtrack shortly after the movie came out and unabashedly loved it and the movie. I had the movie poster on my bedroom wall all throughout junior high and…

I don't get the sodas in the freezer reference but not reviewing Solange's beautiful new album is indeed an inexplicable oversight.

While I'm inclined to agree that his music has become less interesting, I do believe that his singing has gotten markedly better. As much as I liked the earlier tracks in all their weirdness, his approximation of R&B/soul singing was often distractingly affected, to the point that I wondered if he was just trying to…

I've never read the book but from your description of it I would say the film was a good adaptation, bleak and surreal with a occasional bursts of dark humor. I honestly didn't know what I was signing up for when I first watched it but it remains one of the most harrowing films I've ever seen, if only because of the…

Haunts me to this day. The sounds. *shivers*

Watch me get all joie de vivre up in this bitch.

Those alien joints are kinda fresh, but I'm 42 and uhhhhh…yeah, I'm 42. *sigh*

First thing I thought of when I read the comment. That was one of my favorite Bloom County bits back in the day, mostly because an exasperated Steve Dallas is comedy gold. But I'll admit that I could never reconcile what Breathed's stance on it really was. Is he simply pointing out the absurdity, which is fair, or is…

Piggybacking off of @avclub-da518aecddbf5c94588f53562012c452:disqus 's comment, Cottonmouth expressly told Tone not to go after Chico unless he saw him out in the street. He heard Luke's message from Pop about a parlay for Chico and was respecting that. Tone was feeling himself. And because "believe it or not there's…

That seems reductive, especially considering that the filmmakers were from Rich Hill themselves.

Naomi Watts is pretty perfect in The Ring. I think it's one of her most underrated performances.

This. I'm one of those "gotta see the original before the remake" types but I happened to see Ringu after The Ring had already thoroughly scared the bejesus out of me, a welcome and rare occurrence for this lifelong horror geek. But despite the reverence I had for J-horror and its usual slow burn, Ringu just bored…

You said what I was thinking!!!

This is perfection.

Yeah. I want to say that this correction has slightly deflated my enjoyment of these two interludes but I'll probably find them highly amusing no matter who's mom she is. I mean, she dressed dude down over seven dollars. That shit never stops being funny.

I'd like to know whether or not this friend's mom is the same voice on "Not Just Money," which never fails to crack me up.

I learned something new today!

Is there a name for an artistic method that is a blend of impressionism and expressionism? That's been my consideration while listening to Blond(e) because I think what Frank Ocean does musically lands somewhere between those two.

Yeah, "Seigfried" was given curiously short shrift in this review. The trifecta where it comes between "White Ferrari" and "Godspeed" is just haunting.
