A possibly worthy substitute is Son of Rambo, about two English boys recreating First Blood (or making a sequel? I can't remember)

Shelby Foote (RIP). His voice is the best part of Ken Burns's Civil War. Light southern drawl, so soothing.

If you're ever in Osaka, visit the Momofuku Instant Ramen museum. It's two rooms but is fun. Plus you can make your own custom cup for about $3, which is really fun.

Huh, I don't hear it at all. I guess I got a little too excited that I may have found a band to replace the Weakerthans-sized hole in my heart.

As someone who got into it at 14, I never read anything into it beyond "it's a really good album about Anne Frank, among other things." Maybe I just managed to skip that phase or maybe it's just the loudest talkers that treat it with such reverence.

I do believe it's also a dig at the Blackhawks and Bulls as well. (I assume no one would argue the Bears for title of Chicago's all time greatest sports franchise)

Bells of St. Mary is another one that just deals with devout characters dealing with things differently (in this case a nun who runs the school and the new priest). I was raised Catholic and kind of love some of the older movies that show nuns in a much more human light rather than women in weird outfits. Just people…

I loved Travis's hidden track songs, but I always felt they ruined the last song on the album. "Blue Flashing Light" scared the bejesus out of me the first time it popped up after "Slideshow," which is a nice, slow album closer. Would've been the perfect song to drift off to sleep to, then this damn song about…

I think of it as a comedy, as I do with all of Anderson's films. I never feel truly sad or stressed or angry watching Rushmore, which is how I generally feel watching dramas. I also think the ending is uplifting enough that the movie never truly hits rock bottom. I really can't see it as a wholly sad movie.

That was my first Cusack movie and remains my favorite. Say Anything is a fine movie, but it has nothing on the weirdness of Better Off Dead.

Yes, but the girl version of Duckie isn't so blatantly into guy-Andy. She acts more like a best friend rather than hopelessly in love with him. She clearly has a crush but doesn't spend her time begging him to date her, which I think helps the dynamic. The ending in Some Kind of Wonderful makes more sense than if Andy…

Also for some reason there's a few Culvers in Austin.

I think I loved Jessica Jones a little more than Daredevil, but watching this trailer reminded of how amazing the fight choreography is in DD. It looks like it'll be better than last season.

At least one member is from the Boston area, does that count?

I don't think you have to worry about them switching to a Hold Steady sound. They've been friends with Finn since before the Monitor. Finn actually did some of the spoken word parts on that album.

In the first book she actually goes home. In another she goes on a ski trip but then comes back because she was bored. It seemed like Hermione liked hanging out at the castle better and was stubborn enough to get her way.

Also, I seem to remember a lot of commenters complaining about the lack of a review for Florence and the Machine. I guess she really gets no love from this site.

I had forgotten Belle and Sebastian came out this year, definitely one of my favorites by them. A solid album that also made for a really fun concert.

sounds like Keanu Reeves to me.

Agreed that this was more of a super-hero episode. It's reminding me a little like Daredevil in that the show is working so hard to build to a climax with the bad guy that it's losing some of what makes it unique. It was obvious Kilgrave was going to escape and be terrible, which he did. I spent most of that scene…
