Saw them live earlier this year. Remarkably talented gals with a thoroughly charming stage presence. This album is a blast.

Wait, the other guy in that picture isn't Paul Walker? Wait, are Paul Walker and John Brotherton the same person?

James Woods needs his own cable drama. Shark was more watchable than it had any right to be thanks to his presence, and the man could certainly use a quality role for a change.

"Gonna do the best we can/gonna get it right/we said goodbye to all our dreams/gon' keep working through the night/darling, someday it's gon' be alright." - From Randy Newman's Oscar-nominated tune "Build a Better Dinosaur"

Considering that he had already resigned himself to paying $250,000, this seems like a win.

Love this movie. I know Le Carre didn't care for Burton, but man, the film does a superb job of capturing the tone of the novel and Burton's performance is easily among his best.

I know that the vast majority of folks disagree, but I really like Rebecca Pidgeon. There's certainly a reason why she hasn't received many prominent roles outside of Mamet's films, but she was born to speak his dialogue. Love the way she handles the weird rhythms of his writing. "Funny old world? Dog my cats."

So what about that scene where Salinger snaps Zod's neck, you guys? Crazy.

Proposal: A paparazzi-themed remake of The Karate Kid with Keaton as Mr. Miyagi and Kanye West as Daniel.

Yeah, Oliver has never been one of my favorite correspondents either, but he pretty much killed it during this guest run. I was surprised by his versatility and delighted by his seemingly endless enthusiasm. I'd love to see him either take over when Stewart moves on to something else or get his own Colbert-style…

Props to the interviewer for continuing to do his best in the face of Willis' insurmountable apathy. Also, the exhausted delivery of Willis' final line nearly made me fall out of my chair. They should put that in the trailer for Red 3.

Yeezy season approaching - fuck what, fuck whatever ya'll been wearing.

Really like both of Passion Pit's albums, but was underwhelmed by their live performance at Bonnaroo this year. They seemed like they were on autopilot and quit after 45 minutes even though they had been scheduled to play for an hour. Maybe it was the heat or maybe they were just having an off day, because plenty of…

Yo, these beats are dope.

This one has been growing on me over the course of the past week. It's kind of remarkable just how much musical territory the album covers over the course of minutes while still retaining a harsh, industrial feel overall. I respect the album's enthusiastically hostile vibe, but I have to admit, my favorite single…

Saw them perform with The Del McCoury Band at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival earlier this year. Hands-down one of the most magical shows I've ever seen - there was a remarkable level of connection between the performers and the audience. Their performance of "I'll Fly Away" was just stunning. I was…

While Brand X never really worked for me, it was interesting television. It was clear that Brand was making a genuine effort to create something original. He tried to include his audience in the program to a greater degree than other late-night shows and to permit the show wander in whatever direction he felt that it…

Yeah, I was digging this one. It always seemed like a good show which was ready to transform into a great show at any moment, but never quite got there. I've always been amazed that Jordan managed to write every episode himself, though - part of me wonders if he's just exhausted.

"Be Prepared" remains the best Disney villain song of all time, despite the fact that Irons only sings the first half of it.

Yeah, that's an unfairly overlooked performance. The movie is pretty dire at times, but Irons is giving the part his all. He tends to do that rather frequently. It's amazing how committed he is to his role in the otherwise-forgettable Eragon.
