Hm. Gonna talk up women and music (and Savages - what is with Savages?) but not give props to Shroud Eater's massive, High on Fire-baiting Dead Ends? That's fine.

I spin that album several times a week. Never got the complaints - it's fourteen killer songs in a row.

I'm sure this is something better stated by someone else, but: I think the reason reflexive genre movies end up eating their own tails is because the people who make them are always massive fans of the genre, the kind of people who know it back-to-front and maybe are dissatisfied with certain aspects. Of course being

I think I've read most of the comments since this morning. The official picks? A little lackluster! Don't be embarrassed to like a dang guitar solo.

I like the cover of this book.

I mean…they've certainly moved away from Kirkman's plodding template enough to pop in a couple more black people. Would it really be the end of the world?

The Act of Seeing With One's Own Eyes.

…that's out there. Not enough CDs in the first one, KK?

Who all's seen Giallo? I feel like there should be a badge after you make it through that one: a lifetime membership in the Dario Argento Fan Club, where we greet each new movie with resigned, heavy sighs and complain about how nothing's as good as Deep Red.

Unequivocally great? Opera, even if the ending is a head-scratcher. It's Argento doing a straight-up nasty slasher after the wonky madness of Phenomena, and if Tenebre was any indication it's a good look for him.

@avclub-bf59aaafb2d7eef459b48b5a0d49fac4:disqus My "favorite" example of point B is white people complaining in earnest that they aren't allowed to use racial epithets or make the same jokes about minorities that minorities make among themselves. They seem genuinely upset, like you're pulling a puppy out of their
