You must have missed the dozen or so other jokes of this nature, like the weirdly wrapped present, all the times characters refer to each other by the actor's name, etc.

It's certainly about a thousand times better than Pulp Fiction, which is maybe his worst film.

This guy thinks he's clever, but it seems he's unfamiliar with what "For Your Consideration" means.

Not her God. The celebrity liason at the Scientology Center.

Wait, Jarobi is back and Ali rhymes on this? Is that accurate?

I mean, for fuck's sake, there has been a sequel novel for decades. Just make that one already.

This Edelman character sure is a corny fucking loser.

Bazooka Tooth was his worst album. He was just not ready to basically self-produce a whole record at that point. Some of his definite career highlights followed that misfire.

In what way do the A$AP crew or chumps like Action Bronson and Macklemore have anything to do with "Aesop Rock's corner on the market?" Apart from the name similarities and the fact that Aes happens to be white, he has nothing in common with the artists that you mentioned.

That statement didn't mean just that the Beatles are in the hall of fame collectively, but that each is there as a solo artist, as well. I would say that Carole King is the Michael Jordan to Ringo Starr solo's random guy balling in the park.

It's not an unnecessary sequel. It's the clutch piece of an awesome tetralogy.

Yeah, that's totally wrong. You can't blame children (or, to a lesser extent, teenagers) for enjoying a film that panders to them. You can absolutely, however, attack a film for being a cynical, pandering piece of shit.

His book sounds like his music: rantings from a dude who thinks he's really learned and enlightened, but is not.

He was the breakout star on the best-selling album of the decade right before this. And his solo debut represented a more radio- and teenager-friendly version of that. Not so much of a puzzle, really.

This whole thing is written by someone who doesn't know a goddamn thing about hip hop. Looking backward and quoting someone else's lines is a new thing? Utter bullshit. Hip hop, since its inception, was obsessed with hyper-referential tributes to what came before, and it was always de rigeur for MCs to enumerate

I agree that Pratchett isn't just Adams in another field. But he is even less like Vonnegut, and I'm quite sure that the author knows this, because despite the headline, he doesn't make any arguments to that end beyond a vague hand wave toward "humanism." There are lots of humanist novelists out there, but it takes

This. This is the thing.

Don't use impact as a verb unless you are talking about a meteor and a planet.

Did you read Paradiso? Because it's easily the best part of the Divine Comedy. Purgatorio is the slog (and it's supposed to be).

The L is silent in "could," dude. You're making a joke that is landing badly, right?
