I can't disagree. Them's fighting words, I admit.

Yeah, and it's possible to live a life that's keenly interested in pop culture but is only marginally exposed to the Kardashians. All I know about them is what I see on magazine covers in grocery store line-ups. I'm not really bothered by their existence. I suspect much of the furious hatred of them is some…

Libby, I think you're going to continue to receive a lot of derision for this article, so to counterbalance it: thanks for the nice defense of "reality TV". Very well articulated.

You remind me of every comment on Yahoo under a Kardashian article. You hate them. But you clicked on the story. You clicked on the story.

Stereogum? That's a cheap shot, sir.

Carl Wilson's Celine Dion book is really worthwhile though. He's a thoughtful but unpretentious critic. I dunno about the others, the Daydream Nation one is the only other one I've read.

I saw that tour too. House of Pain were supposed to be on the bill too, but they weren't allowed over the US/Canada border - probably for artistic violations rather than drug.

You're talking about Patton here, right? "His twitter account is surreal. It's 75% him reposting people heaping praise on him."

The song is not really about a cat, of course, it's about missed opportunities and wasted potential and the sadness of nostalgia. I think that's why it can bring tears to my eyes. Samson's lyrics are at their simple, poetic best. Plus, I do like cats.

A recent statement to my wife: "Daddy says 'Fuck' a lot when he gets upset."

It's in the phrasing and respect that is in the questions. Anyone who's physically different from the norm will probably tell you an honest, sincere question is fine, but plenty of idiots come off like condescending jerks - I've seen it, I'm surprised you never have.
On second thought, though, the main point is…

I can understand why people might not like some of her performances and certainly some of her movies, but there can't be a better living actress - or actor, for that matter. Maybe she has a handful of equals, but no betters.

Even worse than the original is a live track I once heard with a line that goes something like, "All I can say is The Velvet Underground is great, for watching the puddles gather rain." Yeah, way to get respect for your insanely annoying song by referencing one of the darkest and coolest bands of all time.

Here here. I'm taking my 6 year-old to Shaun The Sheep this weekend. Fuck those Minions (except the Happy Meal Caveman who says "What the Fuck" - that guy's alright).

And if you die in the house, they'll happily eat you.

Hey, this seems like an appropriate place to ask: Why'd the AV Club not review Kim's memoir? I just read it and really enjoyed it - highly recommended for any fan of Kim's.

Or she was too busy campaigning against vaccinations.

You've got a lot of enjoyment ahead of you.

How dare you actually read a story before making tangentially-relevant comments under it!

I really have to learn not to read the comments of shows episode by episode when I'm catching up. At least now I don't have to read the recap for Episode 4!
