NBC "needs something that’s realistic and down-to-earth, but also completely off the wall and swarming with magic karate fighters"?

It's a strategy that's worked wonders for actors too, like Alan Cumming.

The Lone Bellow! They fall more towards the Hipster Folk Revival scene but they do it better than the Lumineers and Mumford. I'd say they're my favorite new country band after First Aid Kit.

F.A.K. are angels from Sweden sent to save country music from America.

Now that is a show worthy of the big screen. Though the theatrical/kabuki stuff might not translate well.

Oh man, that Indian character was very safe for 2014 standards, let alone 2014 South Park standards. Common occupation (that's not racist, that's fact), pretty standard accent, the only other racial/cultural reference was just mentioning vindaloo. Did the reviewer see some uncut version where he was sitting on a…

This review and grade are way off the mark, further than any so far this season.
I loved the hell out of this episode, I spent the entire 22 minutes with a dopey grin slapped on my face. You got great moments between both Butters and Cartman AND his Father, plus even more between the central gang and it was all…

Was I the only one who was impressed by the music in Cartman's scenes? They're slipping more psychedelia and surrealism into the show it seems.

The only thing that was outright disappointing to me about this episode was that Lorde didn't show up. The first time her name was uttered I started picturing what a South Park caricature of her would look like. I was imagining something between the real Lorde and Peter Lorre. I really wish they had her at the concert…

Women on the Verge gets a pass solely for Laura Benanti's solo 'Model Behavior'

It is pretty impressive that he's managed to reach the level of success he's achieved while maintaining such an amiable style. I will say however, his "It's all McDonald's" bit from his most recent special is some pretty biting commentary.
And yes, he was great in Away We Go which was a great little movie.

Thank you, I was actually concerned about that. I feel like I can have a problem with being long winded and abstruse when trying to communicate a lot of my thoughts.

If you can't stand the pretentiousness of Hannibal then that's an upfront dealbreaker, no use trying to like it. I love it, but I dunno if being a previous fan of Bryan Fuller helped. As a fan I still see it as the most pretentious thing on television.

I really liked this movie and would recommend the sneaky way I shared it with others to everyone. A few years ago I watched it with one of my roommates at the time and a friend/neighbor of ours, but specifically left out the homosexuality in describing it. They're not homophobic but I thought it might make them a tad…

One of the greatest disappointments of my childhood was never getting one of those Power Wheels cars for my birthday, or even Christmas (why have you forsaken me, Santa?).
But now that I'm in my mid 20s and have never owned a real car I see now it was best to be set up for disappointment early on.

"Which masurbation related injury are you currently afflicted by?"

I think an exception could be made for the I Love You More song.
Two lines for your consideration:
"Like South African miners killing diamond wearing gangster rappers"
"What the c*ck is that sh!t?"

'Tis a Modest Mouse reference, thank you for noticing!
I almost forgot Smash Mouth (or at least Steve Harwell) played a show at the casino I work at a couple months back. I got to see them perform Walking on the Sun and it was so loud and raw. For the entire set there was a fifty foot radius of intense vibration coming…

Even their 2001 self titled album is outstandingly tight. That one was my favorite back in the day.

I always get the weirdest of looks when I try to convince people that behind all the jock rock/summer movie trailer/bland mainstream sheen there's an amazing surf-ska band lying dormant.
Maybe it's because in middle school I happened upon a copy of the unofficial East Bay Sessions album in Best Buy. It's full of older,…
