Anyone else get 2/3 of the way through the second writer's bit and wonder what the fuck any of it had to do with Roth?

The writer doesn't strike me as the sort of guy who pays attention to credits. Or even the kind of guy who has researched whatever topic he's writing on.

The fact that no one else is talking about this just goes to prove that no one reads the articles anymore.

The quality of the music being discussed is irrelevant. What I'm saying is that this is criticism that has been done to death already. Either find a new perspective or move the fuck on to something else already.

The AV Club is at its best when its writers write about pop culture they like or at least have an understanding of. I know I'm not alone in remembering that what attracted me to this site in the first place was not snobbery, but an openness and an understanding of so many different facets of pop-culture.

Saving Private Ryan was a little later, not quite direct competition.

Don't recall exactly when The Relic came out, but Speed 2 and BHN came out the summer before.

There are lots of parts I love about this film (aside from Caroline Williams' legs) but I think my favorite is the "mountaintop" showdown between Chop Top and Stretch. So fucking manic and over-the-top, with both actors just going full in. I will always have a…

It's called a "video," not a "visual."

Not sure how I feel about the album yet, but that was a great review. I've found the music reviews sorely lacking around here as of late, but you knocked it out of the park, Noel.

Sounds about as real as Shep McAllister.

"I probably already spent more time on this than the writers did."

This is like, pure, uncut, prime AV Club content. The type of thing that pulled me in so many years ago. To say this was a job well done would be a massive fucking understatement.

If you think Linkin Park are the worst thing that ever happened to rock music, you must lead a very sheltered and blessed existence.
