This movie's trailer gave the Ramones the "haunted waif having a bummer day" treatment which has been so soul-deadeningly prevalent in trailers over the last few years. The Ramones!!! For that unforgivable sin, this movie can fuck itself in hell for all eternity. Critics could declare it to be better than The…

But who will perform at the benefit show for those poor souls who had to suffer through a Tune-Yards concert?

My favorite segment from this season was Lyric Lewis transforming Julia Child from a noted chef into a horny, creamed corn-craving amazon who would not be denied.

I was at a Sonic Youth concert the night Laura Palmer's killer was revealed. The band brought a dinky little portable tv on stage and set it on one of their monitors, but unfortunately for them, the St. Louis ABC affiliate was too underpowered for them to get a signal on the rabbit ears. I was glad, since I was…

The Potter movies aren't constantly on cable? Someone had better tell Freeform - they seem to be under the impression that they show weekend long marathons every three weeks. They ought to be made aware that they're apparently broadcasting dead air those weekends.

Next week we'll be harpin' boont? I'm in.

That is sure an awfully weak path from narco subs to Krazy Kat. I assume next week is a Theme Week at the AV Club which Krazy Kat has some relevance to?

Brian Eno disagrees!

Comics knowledge is useless in this case, at least so far - this version of Mace is pretty far off the comic version, though there have been a few hints that the character wasn't chosen completely at random. In the comics, he was the Patriot, a minor Captain America rip-off from 1941, who Roy Thomas brought back in…

Thumbs up if you're here because you saw this link on Facebook.

Once in a blue moon, I'll see that Hercules or Mulan or some other Disney movie I haven't seen in forever is on The Disney Channel and I'll decide to watch it. Then I'll get distracted when the movie is over and forget to change the channel, and an hour later will realize my tv is occupied by some terrible sitcom…

It's not the Easter season unless I listen to that version of Jesus Christ Superstar with the Indigo Girls as Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

I don't think she meant to imply that they were universally synonymous, but that in this particular case (and in most duels) they were.

It's not being a massive piece of shit in Aliens that makes Paul Reiser hard to watch in Mad About You. It's him being a massive piece of shit in Mad About You that does that.

I had to sit through this movie and A Distant Thunder back when I was an earnest young Baptist, and crude as they were, they were effective at crowding the front of the church during the altar call. It was seeing A Distant Thunder in high school that helped me understand the emotional manipulation that goes into altar…

Right up there with Selfie and Bent in the ranks of very good shows that were ill-served by very bad titles.

The band Chequered Past - how could a band comprised of former members of Blondie and the Sex Pistols be such an unlistenable mess of awful quasi-Glam/boogie rock BS?

She got to go into outer space on Newsradio, so she did okay.

One of the great joys of getting older and wiser is discovering "Holy shit! Classic books are classic for a reason!"

I love the unfairly obscure late 80s/early-90s band Grace Pool, who were kind of the American version of the Sundays, so thanks to this comment for giving me an excuse to mention that.
