There's a song on that album called "The Like in I Love You," which is a collaboration between Wilson and an unfinished Gershwin composition. It's hard to tell where Gershwin ends and Wilson begins there.

In terms of late-period Brian Wilson stuff, his Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin album was beautiful. It turns out that the complicated folk-jazz foundation of Gershwin's compositions meshes really well with Wilson's symphonic power-pop Americana. "I Got Rhythm" sounds like it was a "Smile" outtake that fans would

Wait… so "Actual Footage of a Bear" wasn't female-created? Not to generalize, but I'm surprised a guy wrote/directed that short film, which zeroes in so specifically on the struggles of being a woman with clinical depression in a way that reminded me a lot of "The Babadook."

Like Objectivism begat modern Libertarianism?

With Space Bette Midler performing.

Beating their wives? Wondering what's to be done about those coloreds? Trying to eke out if any of their neighbors have "Jew names?"

It all started when such an actor as Jeffrey Wright existed, and they inexplicably used some Star Wars guy instead of him.

The X-23 sequel is just the cat emoji, and is spoken aloud with a cat purr and two "slash slash" sound effects/gestures.

Whenever I watch Black-ish, I think of Jenifer Lewis's line readings (distinctly Black American but with an affected faux-African rhythm and cadence that mark her as having been part of the 1960s-1970s black activism movement) as how Berry probably wanted to sound as Storm, but failed miserably.

Has there ever been a plot where Wolverine is dying of cancer and he uses his claws and healing factor to cut himself open, operate on himself and seal back up, a la "I Am Not a Serial Killer?"

THAT'S TOO MUCH, MAN!

That's one thing I've heard- there are no clunkers in the Burger Book. It helps that this is a good decade for gastropub experimental/high concept burger consumption, as these things are showing up at more and more restaurants.

I was lyricist on the musical "Tink!," which played over the summer in the New York Musicals Festival Off-Broadway. We won a commendation award for Outstanding Family-Oriented Musical Theatre; it was probably given to encourage more diversity of content in the festival, as the vast majority of shows there are

Counterpoint: traveling back and forth between my home state and NYC during the production of my Off-Broadway show, I encountered a number of "annoying train people." At the back of my car, there was a large hen party of women playing Taboo and Catch Phrase as loudly and boisterously as they could. The game Catch

Somewhere, Sylvester Stallone sees this list, realizes that the last "Rambo" doesn't even put a dent in, and decides to make one last film: "Rambo Destroys EVERYONE."

I think it's more the recent "prestige line" of Disney reimaginings of its animated properties. Maleficent was arguably a fun crowd pleaser, but it didn't feel like the "let's win some shit and earn some respect" brand the recent live-action Disneys have been targeting in addition to just family money.

My favorite local gastropub serves "The Marriage Ruiner," a burger with ham, egg, maple syrup and peanut butter. I think the concept is that argument over whether or not the burger is delicious/disgusting will end marriages.

Uh, Stefon, I…. I don't think tourists are looking for anything quite that outrageous. They want something more… traditional.

Well, it's not that much worse than how Aaron Paul and Ty Burell are product pitch voices. Anyone who has seen Paul or Burell in ANYTHING knows these are not guys whose advice or insights you should necessarily be trusting.

FBI storms set of "Modern Family" and deports everyone but the gay couple.
