I feel like most people say that season four suck, but can almost never articulate why.

Season four is great, despite the lazy-ass consensus of most of the internet. Season five shall be better.

That actually makes it way worse. People care so deeply about this very overblown thing that they'll commit grand larceny over it. At the end of the day, it is just Harry Potter, and it's just a postcard. It shouldn't be worth all of that.

Good. This is dumb. And Rowling's dumb for putting it on a postcard, unless this is a publicity ploy, which is even dumber.

Honestly, I have so little love for Harry Potter at this point that I hope someone releases it on Instagram, or some nonsense.

It's pretty crazy that Pence had so little awareness that he didn't notice he bumped the kid. And even if it's an accident, there's nothing wrong with a kid holding people to a standard of accepting mistakes, no matter who they are. Someone did something to him, and he did something about about it. Not a lot of kids

That kid's going to be a winner.

I love Slowdive, but their self-titled is pretty goddamned empty. In fact, the review here reflects my feelings, though I'm coming down a lot harsher. It's a shame, because it sounds so good, but the songwriting just isn't there. "Slomo" doesn't just end too soon; it doesn't have an ending at all. It just sort of

As awful as that is, that's a great story. But uh… yeah. That scene goes on for so goddamn long, too. The turtle is rough, and so is the monkey scene. The latter is especially horrible, since they messed up on the first monkey, so they had to kill another one. It's real rough.

Or they're vindicated that someone found the Oasis Easter Egg.

Whether you agree or not with the show's message, its filmmaking is effective. At worst, offensive and sensationalist. At best, unsettling and all-too-knowing.

A lot of albums. That shitty Migos record, for one.

It's a needlessly mean movie, and wastes a really game ensemble.

Don't get me wrong: I, too, adore Boxer. With the exception of "Transatlanticism," I've yet to hear another song as powerful live as "Fake Empire." And even its weaker moments are still pretty damn compelling.

I love The National, and though I've definitely grown into Trouble Will Find Me, I wasn't as impressed with the lead-up to that record the way I am with this one. This track alone is their most exciting, in every way possible, in years.

Boxer would be a masterpiece if any of its songs after "Apartment Story" matched its first half, instead of all just being good. To me, though, Alligator, High Violet, and their last one in particular, are near-perfect.

Part of me feels kinda bad for Betsy DeVos, because I'm sure she thinks she's being a genuinely good person. It's not fun to see her force herself enduring such a hostile reception. Yet, she's so clouded by privilege and ignorance that she could never know just how much bigger these issues are than her.

Even in a dry spell, not a chance.

Didn't read the article, but to be clear: We're also talking about all the good things, and all the bad things?

Many supposed masterpieces are terrible.
-Blade Runner is bullshit
-The Avengers is bullshit
-Abbey Road is bullshit
-The War on Drugs' Lost in the Dream is BULLLSHIIIIIIT
-The Fellowship of the Ring (film) is mangled, poorly-aged, ineptly paced bullshit
-Raging Bull is bullshit (just kidding; it's a perfect film)
-A
