You're kind of all over the place there, chief.

It being the first thing out the monologue really poisoned the entire rest of the show for me.  And it wasn't the first racist sketch they've done this season, which really makes me wonder why no one is stepping in and saying, "this is a terrible idea."

The Starbucks spoof was alright, although “Verquonica” kinda had me thinking more than a dumb spoof should about the implications of the sketch.

My fan-fic is coming true!

I think Noel was saying that he approved of the brief, relatively tasteful nudity presented here, as compared to, say, a boob-o-rama like Game of Thrones.

"Hindquarters and flank"? Is she an attractive woman or a steer headed to the slaughterhouse?

Isn't Dave Fridmann, like, famously difficult to work with?  I know that he basically broke Sleater-Kinney's will to live.  Maybe this is his penance, to have to rent out his services to over-privileged little bastards with money to burn.

Well I'll say it - this is one of the greatest pop songs of the last 15 years.  Supernatural was obviously crafted by a committee, one that decided that Santana had a megahit album lurking somewhere inside of him if he was matched up with the right collaborators (and that committee was right), but the album sold all…

And this is where my "I understand where Sting was coming from" stance falls apart of course, because Sting is awful and fuck that guy.

As easy (and fun!) as it is to make fun of Sting, the man did have something of a point given that things like "Be My Girl - Sally" happened, where he had a perfectly nice rock song ruined by awful, unfunny nonsense.

That bar is so low it is subterranean.

Summers may think that "Mother" was ahead of its time but he is wrong because it continues to simply suck.

I thought the racism in YOLT was much more contained than its reputation, other than Bond in yellowface (which is the most half-assed attempt imaginable).  Goldfinger (the film) really, really does not think very highly of Korean people.

This is possibly the one and only time I am going to blog-flog here, but I did an entire Bond watch recently, including all sorts of rankings.  (I'm doing Star Trek movies now)
