Absolutely, our culture rewards suicide, in a way, by stirring the outpouring of sympathy and serious attention that is so often denied to the living. The depressed person who's dismissed as self-pitying and dramatic commits suicide, and suddenly becomes a tragic martyr rather than just some whiny sad sack. It's like…

We have a strange attitude towards depression, I think. People who suffer depression tend not to get a lot of sympathy in general, except from those who have been there. (I don't think it's as bad nowadays as it used to be, but I kept my depression hidden from people because I got tired of being told to "cheer up" and…

As a pet owner, I've thought more than once about what would happen to our animals if my wife and I died. It breaks my heart to think that they'd probably end up being euthanized by strangers in some depressing animal shelter. I obviously don't know what McCready's motivations were, but if I knew I was going to be out…

All You Need Is Die Hard

Looks like this show's gonna have an… *puts on sunglasses* unhappy ending.

Or in other words, no shame whatsoever?

Between Two Ferns is good people.

But…boobs!!

Interesting — what is it that necessarily makes Elizabeth and Philip villains, or even antiheroes? Anything besides tribal loyalty? If the show were called The Russians and was about a pair of American spies posing as Soviet citizens, is there anything about their actions or character so far that would give viewers…

I won't be so melodramatic as to say that Blinking Lights and Other Revelations "saved my life," as the cliché goes, but that was one hell of a beautiful, open, ambitious album that came at a time when I badly needed it. For that, E's earned a lifetime of goodwill from me.

Totally going to rename the album Pulped Angel Corpse in my iTunes library.

Maybe critics keep reviews on file for long-anticipated unreleased albums, like obituaries.

Official site seems to call it m b v (with spaces).

Well all right then!

The question of how to review these Netflix series really isn't — or doesn't have to be — that complicated. Just treat it like any of the older TV shows you review, and review it on the same schedule, an episode or two at a time. It really isn't any different from any TV series that's out on a season box set, except…

"An ugliness and a deadness" pretty much sums up Schrader, Ellis, and Lohan. However, those qualities are actually why I like Schrader and Ellis, so I'm still on board with this thing.

I guess he…found his religion?

Also, there's at least a rationale for The Voice, since singers do get judged by their appearance, so it's kind of interesting (at least during the auditions) to not allow the coaches to see the contestants. Whereas I'm pretty sure chefs like Wylie Dufresne and Jose Andres aren't skating by on their looks.

This is THE TASTE!!!
