Not necessarily, The Lego Movie came out in February and the utter lack of competition made the film a box-office smash. Then again this movie looks like it will fare as well as Winter's Tale, another Feb. release. But I, alongside Neil Gaiman, will champion that film because it was trying something different, and…

I am more excited for Jupiter Ascending, at least it's something original and the Wachowskis are visually more exciting directors than Abrams.

Felt like this trailer was JJ and the rest of his crew responding to the "too many white guys" complaint.
Fine, enough already! Look here's a black guy! There's a lady! It's Star Wars, you're going to see it because it's a cultural obligation. If for some reason you think you're above Star Wars, you will just have to…

The only real problem of season 2 was James, he should have turned into a motorcycle.

Over the Garden Wall and Olive Kitteridge were two of the best pieces of television I have ever seen, American TV you need to keep embracing the mini-series!

Hey Mr. AV Claus, can the next Friday article be Artie Lange steam of consciousness as he watches every Tyler Perry movie while he's in rehab?

Which Katherine Hepburn character? The one in yellow face?

Woody Allen and Roman Polanski should make Ghost Dad 2.

Kanye's lyrics all ring hollow and his albums' appreciation seem like a elongated form of white guilt. Don't worry my brothers, he's an idiot! Sure he might be a talented producer but that's it, he isn't a musician worth the amount of writing he's received.

So glad to hear it. American Dad is one of the only examples of a "guilty" pleasure I know because it's a Seth MacFarlane property that is actually charming and funny, but it still has MacFarane's stamp of approval.

Still torn about this album, it has some seriously amazing songs dispersed against real clunkers. Either way the vocals are some of the finest in the genre, and as someone who appreciates the human voice TV On the Radio is a treasure.

Came to say I have the worst kind of crush on Julie Klausner. I know her opinions can be catty and obnoxious and at worst noxious, but that hair! that face! I just can't resist! I just feel Philip Roth levels of lust towards her.

Yeah I guess Ariel Pink is hindered by the lack of mono-culture, and changing tastes in contemporary pop music. I just wish he was the one collaborating with Paul Thomas Anderson on Inherent Vice, because when Before Today came out I was reading that book and the synergy of that book and his music was too perfect for…

Yeah that new Foxygen album is a disaster and its best songs are retro-exploitation and plagiarism The best song on …And Star Power, "Cosmic Vibrations" is just a gutting of the Doors, removing the fun vibrato of the Doors but keeping his intonation..

The idea that musicians should be upstanding and well-behaved members of society is a new and troubling trend. Sure, we live in a time where being a musician may still require a day-job but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get your freak on.

If you look up a video of a 2014 performance of "Put Your Number in My Phone" most of the Before Today members seem to be present. Haunted Graffiti never was a real band, they weren't his Bad Seeds instead the term served as a placeholder of a fictional possibility of a band.

Yeah I am no neophyte, I am aware of the song's history but like "Baby" it's a cover of such an obscure song that it comes across as an important pop song history lesson.

Vaping is neo-noir in singularity form.

I see him more as a post-op Sally Draper

This is easily the best, essential album of the year. Frank Zappa is what turned this young gamer geek in 6th grade into a music obsessive, and Ariel Pink is the closest artist to achieve the same mastery of the form as Zappa. There are plenty of other weirdo, off-beat musicians but none respect and utilize the…
