Totally agreed.

I just picked up The Name of the Wind (part I of the Kingkiller Chronicles) by Patrick Rothfuss. I'm only a quarter of the way through and I'm waiting for the other proverbial shoe to drop. It's well written and streets ahead of most fantasy I've read, so that's nice.

Yes, that was an issue (especially for the sketches). But there were many moments where I felt like Cameron in Ferris Bueller's Day Off - you're standing in front of this amazing piece and able to see everything down to the little brush strokes and it's awe-inspiring. It was a pretty emotional experience.

Thankfully it's kind of separated from all that nonsense. It's a really elegant building and they faithfully recreated Barnes' layout (in terms of pairing the paintings, metal work, and carpentry). I'd be lying if I said I didn't spend money in the gift shop, though. Matisse postcards for everyone!

Seconded. I just saw the Barnes Exhibit in Philly and they did do a great job of housing the collection. I spent two hours looking at paintings until I realized there was a whole second floor. While it's a tragedy that the city stole the works, they're absolutely worth checking out.

I saw The Shrine open for Graveyard last year and it was great. Eager to hear this new record.

I'm glad to see YBI! getting some press attention. Saw them play a basement show in Philly that was a ton of fun. Grow Up, Dude is an album that gets a lotta replays in my house.

I'm always happy to see more Mike Doughty material. It makes me happy, dammit.

Dexter could've used more dramatic potato chip eating scenes like Death Note.

My first instinct is to link that product placement scene from Wayne's World. But I love Flying Dog and am happy to see it get some publicity. Besides National Bohemian, it was the only brand of beer on the menu for my wedding.

Awesome points. I always think about villains on a show as a progression of difficulty rather than a character's journey (the trappings of playing too many video games).

Small concession: his burritos looked delicious. Even with the ricin sprinkles.

With all due respect to Raymond Cruz, I'm kind of happy that Tuco was killed off early. As a villain, he felt a little one-sided.

I fucking love Saga. It's so beautiful and unpredictable. I can never gauge what the next page is going to look like and it's amazing even when all I'm seeing is a giant troll weiner.

Not sure about Derek. Leonard Smalls' It's A Smalls World is mostly rabbits exploding.

For my money it's they are two of the best children's shows ever produced. Currently working on a Fire Ferret costume for a convention this summer and couldn't be more excited.

Goddamnit I just posted that same EXACT beer title to my amateur brewing company's FB page after seeing this story. Great minds, Thunderdome.

"I can't determine what offends another person."

Yeah the neck-snapping was a left-field resolution. It's always so hilariously bad in action movies… like your neck is this fragile thing that can't turn more than a few degrees or BANG you're dead.

Maybe if they had lingered on that stained glass image of Jesus with Superman in front of it for 45 more minutes I would've gotten the Christ connection.
