What are you expecting from Sherlock Holmes at all, really? I mean, just because it's old doesn't mean it's high art. They're fun stories about a genius detective. Some of the mysteries are pretty lame and the quality varies pretty wildly over time. Some of the stories are really interesting but a lot of them are…

I'm no superfan, but the thing I like about the White Stripes is that they play straightforward balls-out rock and roll. Everything else from rock in the 2000s was either too serious/introspective or too twee and pussy.

So, Lobsters, by "based entirely" you mean, "had a ten-minute bit that had a completely different tone and arc than Annie Hall but was somehow exactly the same and Louis CK stole it and based his whole show on it even though 90% of the show was completely different"? Because that's exactly what I was thinking.

Who is the suburbs?
I don't even know who this Arcade Fire album is? LOL ummm why are they healining anything? they dont sell nearly as many albums as jady gaga

Haysoos, I just consulted with the Elder Council of Atheists Who Worship Satan For Some Reason, and they said to tell you to shut the fuck up about our secret plan. It's secret for a reason, asshole.

I played it neutrally so she wouldn't notice that I was actually considering it.

My brothers thought they would "treat the girls" by taking their wives out on a double date to the Cheesecake Factory and then to see this movie. They called to ask if I wanted to bring my fiance out with them. When I told her what they called for, she looked at me derisively and turned up the OSU/Wisconsin basketball…

That hair makes her look pretty banged to me.

Ugh, I am beset by blank stares whenever I see a large reproduction of something, like one of those blowup gorillas at car lots, and am compelled to say "'AT THANG'S HYUGE, MAN!" then I have to respond to myself with "Good one, Tiny E!"

The In Rainbows free/pay what you want mp3s were only 160 kbps. Not ideal, but through earbuds or in the car it's perfectly fine. Back when I used to pirate music I wouldn't even bother downloading anything under 192kbps, but hey, it's free and legal so fuck it.

How is this a scam? You pay more for the higher quality files. Are you saying music pricing should be based completely on the cost of production? It's not a loaf of bread.

I hadn't decided what religion I was until just now. The decades of soul-searching is one thing, but what I really need in order to decide is a thread on the AV club telling me what anonymous strangers think. Thanks guys! Now I'm a Zoroastrian!

Hustle & Flow was a minstrel show.

He has an insanely annoying voice and laugh. I have to mute/fast forward when he's on talk shows.

The funniest thing sportsdome has done so far is the "news feed" they ran under the first commercial break last week. Kind of like how the Onion headlines are almost always funnier than the full text articles.

I've never read him actually disparage vanilla sex, just disparaging people who are so averse to anything but vanilla sex that they're pushing away their partner.

Death Race the remake is most definitely not non-stop action, it's mostly-stop action. Seriously, some of you people seem to have watched a different movie in your head while the real one played on the screen. I remember about 2/3rds of the movie as Jason Statham brooding and Ian McShane standing around not doing or…

Shutter Island
Shutter Island was shut out because it was an island-size pile of dogshit.

What makes Dan Savage great is that a normal advice columnists comes at relationship problems from the assumption that it's always good relationship that needs saving, whereas Dan is always open to the possibility that it's just not going to work. I've been around the block a few times, and approaching relationships…

Can someone explain to me what this thing is called "the internet"? I heard my mom talking about it but I still don't know what it is. Is it like a bus pass or something?
