I’ll never forgive myself for passing up the chance to meet him on the third leg of the Pet Sounds anniversary tour several years ago, when  I saw him at an Indian casino in Kansas, of all places. We happened to be in the same hotel as the band and rode the elevator up to our room with Blondie Chapman and another…

As much of a Brian Wilson fanatic as I am, I agree in the sense that the other members’* contributions, especially Dennis and Carl, during that time never get enough credit. I do think you’re underplaying Brian’s contributions during their golden era, though. He still did the majority of the songwriting in the late…

If you think Kevin Perjurer’s voice is boing/emotionless, then you must not be familiar with any other Youtube video essayist, because his is definitely one of the more lively and easy to listen to.

So how much did AMC Networks pay you guys to promote this movie? It’s the only thing that can explain your relentless coverage of this random low-budget horror movie over the past week. Why are there 3 articles about this movie on the front page and only one that’s even tangentially about Furiosa, a much more popular…

I’ve tried to find it for years with no luck, but I read an article from a former third-party ticket broker claiming that many venues and promoters directly invite legitimate brokers and scalpers alike to purchase blocks of discounted tickets essentially as soon as the show gets booked. It’s an unwinnable scenario…

Football and baseball stadiums are massively different sizes though. Fenway seats 37K, while Gillette, the Pats’ stadium, holds up to 71K for concerts (as it did for Ed Sheeran’s tour last year). It’s not hard for an artist in even the same general stratosphere of popularity as Lady Gaga to sell out a baseball stadium.

I continue to be fascinated by how much money Netflix throws at movies that would’ve been zero-budget, DTV dreck rotting in the Walmart bargain bins waiting for grandparents to buy them as disappointing presents for their grandkids in the pre-streaming era. Look at that header image and tell me it doesn’t look like it…

I take it you’re not familiar with For Better or For Worse, whose characters aged in real time throughout its 30+ year run. Also many comic strips have character development and running plots; you probably just didn’t ever read them all during their original run.

It’s honestly amazing people still believe that story given how fucking ridiculous it is. The idea that Bill Murray would think Joel Coen wrote a Garfield movie and that NO ONE around him ever corrected him is absolutely ludicrous. Plus, Joel Cohen is not some random nobody—the dude has an Oscar nomination for…

I’m just glad that I don’t have to worry about getting him and Ryan Gosling confused anymore. One is an incredibly talented, funny, charismatic, and daring actor, and the other is that dude from Two Guys, a Girl & a Pizza Place who won’t stop popping up on my TV screen.

As I was reading, I was thinking “Wasn’t The Critic a Loren Bouchard joint?” and was puzzled why his name wasn’t mentioned. Then I realized he had worked on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist and not The Critic. And then I realized, for the very first time in my life, that those are two completely different shows. I…

Clooney has good range though. Good Night and Good Luck, Syriana, and Michael Clayton come to mind as some against-type starring roles for him. I guess maybe it’s not really against type since he did a long string of those type of movies in the mid-late 2000s.

This movie had some of the strangest marketing I’ve ever seen. Every TV spot I’ve seen for it is this weird behind the scenes thing that showcases all the voice actors, with split screen clips of them in the studio alongside their characters, and Krasinksi basically doing what Cruise did at the beginning of Maverick,…

It was a great sketch that managed to finally do something interesting with the “quirky doctor” concept they’ve been swinging-and-missing on for years now. It also felt like an adult version of a sketch Kenan might have done on All That; there was an inherent silliness and excellent use of sight gags and props that…

That’s all anyone has ever said about the dude lol. I can see it in the face but he has a completely different body type.

It’s dumb, but Sheriff Country actually makes a little bit of sense. Sheriffs’ offices are the main law enforcement in rural, unincorporated areas that aren’t served by a municipal police force, so I guess “Sheriff Country” implies that it takes place in a remote area where only sheriffs have local jurisdiction. It at…

How about the time he dated a 17-year-old at age 38? What are your thoughts on that?

Is it just me, or does Isaac look like he’s aged 30 years since Dune? He legitimately looks like he could be 2021 Oscar Isaac’s dad.

I took that photo and I THREW IT ON THE GROOOUUUNNNNND

I’m actually shocked this movie 1) is already finished and premiered at TIFF last year, and 2) that it took eight years to make, as I was sure upon first glance that it was some thrown-together project that got fast-tracked to piggyback on Civil War’s success. Either way, it’s an incredibly fortuitous coincidence since…
