Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Before Sunrise - gutsy idea, and well-executed, but boring to watch in practice. But Boyhood might be my favorite movie ever. There is really no comparison.

This is literally the first time I've heard of it, despite reading the AVClub, which is apparently flogging it endlessly, and I'm still too scared to find out what it is.

How do you figure? Does that mean if you don't read Writing for Dummies, you're smart? It's a guide for a certain audience - it has no logical implication about non-readers.

Seriously, they do a Myers-Briggs test that in job interviews? What industry?

Is commencement the speech when you graduate? I know my graduation at Berkeley had no speaker, because there was a strike by university workers, and he refused to cross the picket line (it was some black actor).

Interestingly, Zaragoza was the center of the Inquisition, with the greatest number of executions.

Seth, is that you?

I think the divide is less about "casualness" and more about competitiveness and learning curve. Most women (and I as well) don't like playing very competitive multiplayer games, like shooters and RTS, where you will get destroyed dozens of times before figuring out how to play. They tend to prefer more forgiving,…

I think among American players, WoW's single largest demographic is SAHM - near gender parity overall too.

I was pretty hardcore early on - for like 3 months I was playing WoW 8 hours a day, made Grand Marshal, then quickly got bored and quit. I don't understand playing for years - it's so repetitive and Sisyphean. Doing the same thing over and over to climb the hill, then wait 'til they raise the peak. I even tried to get…

It was at 45k a few minutes ago. Plus, in the majority of the world, a real job does in fact pay that much.

No shit - not like someone can take money from him. Even if 98% of people wish him dead, as long as one AVClubber paid him, it helped.

I'm always showing off Radiohead's Palo Alto, and I brag that Jeremy Lin was my classmate (and would have been by teammate, if I didn't stop growing at age 12!).. I've mentioned that The Wave is based on events at a Palo Alto high school (and most people know it from the movie, so I guess it's entertainment). Not so…

Shit. Because I like the show, I don't want to see more of it. Better to go out while it's still somewhat decent.

Second sentence: "But the obsessives in the documentary Adjust Your Tracking aren’t just grabbing anything released on video—they’re trying to keep a weird pop culture era from being lost forever. "

If we're talking McCarthy characters, he reminds me of Judge Holden - a completely evil killer who gradually is revealed to be some kind of demon at least.

And yet, no 35 year old I know wastes money on Rolexes. And they waste money on some pretty stupid things sometimes ($60,000 to join a country club, for example). To be fair, it's part of a certain culture (maybe east Coast WASP, not sure), but simple empirical evidence demonstrates that it's hardly an integral part…

The actual Colossus of Rhodes was only 100 feet tall - that must have been twice as big.

Yeah, I don't mind assholes, what I can't stand are people who are completely earnest and humorless.
