I know this article is about 300, but I have to defend the Watchmen movie. It's Snyder's best movie (faint praise, I know) and a damn good adaptation of the book. The disdain some people have for it has baffled me since it came out.

If Walmart stopped selling guns tomorrow, they could easily make up for the lost revenue by slashing prices on Viagra. I'd imagine a Venn diagram of "people who buy guns at Walmart" and "people who buy Viagra at Walmart" would look like a perfect lunar eclipse.

Most Americans agree with you. But our politicians stopped caring about what most Americans think a long, long time ago.

Swap out Blur for Portishead's second album and that's a damn good list.

When was Marcy Playground's "Sex and Candy" on nonstop rotation on MTV? Because that's another candidate for worst two weeks of music in 1997.

Time heals all wounds, and time can also turn hated pop songs into pleasant nostalgia trips. I'd still rather walk blindfolded across a busy freeway than listen to My Heart Will Go On, but plenty of other songs that I hated (HATED!!!) as an opinionated 16 year old have mellowed out over time. Mmmbop makes me smile…

Hey, "Frozen" is a good song.

Wikipedia says they are…

Oh, and the worst two weeks of music in 1997 were the weeks following the release of the Titanic soundtrack. I was a young lad back then and took the bus to school, and the pop radio station the bus driver had on played that godawful Celine Dion song EVERY FUCKING MORNING FOR FOUR GODDAMN FUCKING MONTHS.

In 1997 I was at the height of my Smashing Pumpkins obsession. It was also that summer that "Mmmbop" was inescapable on the radio and TV, and I hated that song with a burning passion. Fast forward 20 years, and James Iha is in a band with Taylor Hanson. If you'd told in 1997 that 20 years later my favorite guitar…

I can't bring myself to get that worked up over the Koch Bros. Yeah, they're evil assholes, but they'll also be dead soon. That helps.

He hasn't implemented shit, and you know it.

Jesus fucking Christ…

"Hey guys, it's me, Big Rolls! Which cell is mine?"

Yes, it's easy to make fun of a balding 31 year old, but the truly disturbing thing about that guy is the eyes. He has dead, soulless eyes. It's genuinely unnerving.

Scott would totally like the Strokes.

He's the guy who wrote a song about New York right before 9/11, and got massive radio airplay after the attacks. That's all I know about Ryan Adams.

Since "Is This It" was the soundtrack of the summer of 2002 for me, I'm Team Strokes on this one.

He's right, Temple of Doom is the worst in the series.

There's still time to bring him in. I doubt we've seen the last of the Starr flashbacks, so it's possible Eisenstein shows up to investigate the death of the guy Starr pushed off the balcony.
