"because, duh"
"Because, of course it is."
Can we retire this shit please? Haven't we jumped the shark enough here w/out letting things crumble into eye-rolling-14-year-oldisms?

Adjective:
1) Not influenced by considerations of personal advantage.
2) Having or feeling no interest in something.

There goes the neighborhood.

Oh yeah, and fuck supercuts. Not a great job, internet. (I would have just edited my post to say this, but, you know—Disqus.)

In a way, this all makes it easy…the rapid spread of fluff-lite, nothing "articles" transparently thrown up to cynically generate page clicks has actually made me reluctant to click on anything, and this on what has always been the first site I go to when I go on the internet. It's kind of like wishing I spent more…

No, it was hilarious (well, maybe bc it *was* a bit much)

That was a really great interview, thanks, but your link is no good,—for me anyway. This should work:

If you don't like the movie, you can always get your two dollars back.

This is tacky.

If Big Bang theory and other crappy (nay, any current) sitcoms are something one can tolerate, then yes, probably.

Some of it's just unneccesary gilding of the visuals, some of it's insertions of whole scenes or visual qualities that not only don't fit in with the rest of the film, they could have never been shot on 70s film. Some of it's spelling things out that didn't need it or extending a car chase so it now looks fake . A lot…

Let me get this straight—you aren't even going to mention the CGI-rape Lucas later subjected this film to? It's unwatchable in that form for the level of sterile ickiness and general bullshit he ruins it with. Kind of worth mentioning.

"I just woke up like this," says singer Aimee Mann. "I'm not really happy about it.

They didn't plagarize their new track, they plagarized on their new track. 

Holy shit…KFC Yum! Center? How is this even possible. Like something out of Idiocracy.

I thought I had read that article, but I hadn't…I just started it, but already two things: 1) not only did Kelly Clarkson and Beyoncee release two hit singles accidentally off the same track, they came up with pretty much the exact same LCD "melody" to use over it. And that the public didn't notice a difference is…

@ebuzzmiller:disqus I cut it earlier, but I wrote something about how even though people think of ABBA and the Carpenters as vapid and lightweight, the people writing those songs were committed to crafting something out of personal voice and expression, and even when the results were saccharine or cheesy, they were…

What's funny about that New Yorker piece (read it before, scanned the beginning just now) is the idea that what they have done is at all interesting or memorable. I don't hear radio stuff much, but I looked up "Rude Boy" and the idea that that chant is a hook is absurd, much less one that someone should be praised…

Why do I get the feeling Marah Eakin is secretly laying groundwork for a book called My Year of Uninteresting Novelty Songs? 

This is interesting stuff to know and think about, but I think in general crass and cynical intentions leave their mark rather plainly (like with Transformers—presumably). And not only do I think it is unneccesary to parse intentions (because they are generally self-evident), I think ultimately it is not desirable or…
