The Mothman Prophecies. I saw it when I was 10. It remains the only horror movie that's ever truly frightened me.

Wow, the backlash against the Babadook is much more intense than I thought.

Ugh…am I the only one who doesn't understand the endless comparisons between her and Bjork?
Judging by what I've heard, Bjork makes very minimal music with largely electronic instrumentation, where more emphasis is placed on atmosphere, rhythm and vocal gymnastics than on melody. Joanna Newsom's music generally has…

Okay, I'm a fan of hers, which is to say that I've heard sentiments similar to those expressed in your comment countless times, so I thought I would make a rather innocent joke based in part upon my distaste for the vocal stylings of a much more popular singer. If I upset you, I apologize.

You can dislike her voice as much as you want, but if you like Rod Stewart, you're nothing but a hypocrite.

I don't doubt it, but his style gives me the impression that he writes four sentences and then furiously pages through a dictionary of slang written in the 60s looking for the type of language which will give his reviews more "color" and a more "authentic American tone," so I'll never understand why people like it.

Wholeheartedly agreed. A Serious Man is one of my favorites. A very dark film which for some reason always puts me in a good mood.

Schreiber wrote that review from the perspective of what appears to be a caricature of a beatnik, who momentarily transforms into Alex from A Clockwork Orange in the first paragraph and later tells us that "It's only when you listen to a perfect old jazz tune like
this that you realize how much drum-n-bass is derived…

That's how it still is. They occasionally review extremely dull black metal records though.

They talk about Pitchfork's staff as though they were an imperial army who'd just taken on a legion of young, obscenely virile mercenaries.

Am I the only one who thinks that Christgau is totally full of shit? Seriously, the man spent decades telling readers that Nico, Kraftwerk, Can, Faust, et al were music for unfeeling crackers and then gave Iggy Azalea's debut album an A.

I get the sense the interviewer had been dying to make some Swedish jokes for a really long time.

Within the past week:

"And how that clown got into my pajamas, I'll never know…"

YES!!!! SHE'S COMING TO MICHIGAN!!!! Sorry, but seriously…up until very recently, it seemed like no interesting musical acts wanted to play here (maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention though). This year I've already seen Father John Misty and Ghost, I know a few people who saw Kraftwerk last night, Run the…

Ehhh…To be honest, I find that that narrative ceases to be interesting when the protagonist reaches adulthood.

I actually would like to see it though, just because the main character is so different from those of most films by Truffaut.

Ah! I haven't seen that one yet.

With regards to film, François Truffaut. As far as I can tell, his films are supposed to be centered around the characters. The problem is that the characters generally aren't interesting at all. Also, I can't help but detect a certain preciousness in his work, which wouldn't bother me if it were clearly intentional…

You seem to have forgotten Steve Miller and Foreigner.
