I find it kind of morbidly fascinating that Journey has put out FOUR post-Perry albums — the most recent one selling 21,400 copies in the United States. I guess it's solipsistic to be surprised that artists who've passed out of the spotlight continue to churn out releases, but I'm always amazed to be reminded that…

True love will desert you.

YOU HAVE DIED

I don't think I've ever felt sadder for a human being who's wealthier and more famous than I will ever be than while watching Christopher Cross dragged out onstage at the "Fifth Annual Blockbuster Entertainment Awards" to perform "Sailing" with 'N Sync, standing there in his baseball cap and blazer  forlornly singing…

I actually kind of like this song, but at the same time I can't dispute Hitchcock's reasoning — he makes great points, he's clearly given this some thought, and isn't just trying to score cheap laughs or hipster points like previous Haters. His description of "weary defeat" is right on, and articulates something that…

Mmm…pie.

It's been a while since I saw The Staircase, but I do remember that the docu-makers seemed convinced of Peterson's innocence, and there was a pretty solid bias in his favor, and yet even they couldn't make the guy not look like a total sociopath. If I were on the jury I'd probably acquit due to reasonable doubt, but I…

The wife and I found these at Walgreens last night and tried all three flavors. On the whole, I thought they were fairly good, not great. I don't see how anybody could muster genuine hatred of any of these unless they just hate flavored chips in general.

Community and Gilmore Girls are both shows that I only started watching regularly the season before the original showrunners left, and I feel the same difference in each case, that the characters feel "off" in that they seem subtly but distinctly exaggerated. Or maybe not exaggerated so much as that they seem like…

Have you noticed though that one is slightly bigger than the other? Her distinctive voice tends to overshadow her brilliant comic timing.

…but I come here to AVOID the world! Ah well, I guess I may as well get an early start on the day's drinking.

Anyone attempting to read this sentence out loud would have been punched in the stomach right after "meta-textual funhouse mirror."

I only see the BEST movies because I am the BEST

Woo Tang Clan

"Fey Arch" is the new name of the villain in the novel I'm not writing.

She goes on to describe how at age 12, she was kidnapped by a rebel army and forced to murder her own parents; how she was married at 13; and how she killed the rapist who impregnated her.

@avclub-62e19451c96255f996555f8034842cba:disqus Yeah — that was the gist of his mini-rant in (Mozambique?), that veganism is a first-world luxury. (Which it is! I mean, in order to thrive on a vegan diet you need at least some processed food products or supplements.) However, contrary to Bourdain's cockeyed notions,…

I cannot. STOP LYING

I came away with a different take. I thought Chang did a good job organizing this stuff into themes and then showing the themes from different angles. We got to see how he gets inspired and where a lot of his ideas come from, and in the parts where we see him cooking, he reveals something of his thought process and…

Yeah, there's stuff like beef marrow and tripe that I wouldn't have even considered eating, but Bourdain's enthusiasm for "the nasty bits" is contagious. What years of watching his shows has given me is an appreciation for trying oddball (to my conventional upbringing, that is) foods, that going outside the familiar…
