Unfortunately Stephen Merrit of the Magnetic Fields is right. Don't debut as a "gay" anything because of how it will cloud perceptions of you.

Tbs desperately needs a hit. I honestly think Conan is better as a late night talk show host than Colbert but he's on a sinking station and get's less interesting guests. Maybe Samantha Bee can pull it off because the void of daily show and colbert report still have not been fully filled by CC's current lineup. Has…

Anything in the way of podcasts I should look out for? Are the same reliable shows just going to keep chugging along? Wtf's first guest of the year is an odious prophecy of the year to come.

I dig the Americans but the kid actors are mostly terrible, but I still haven't seen the latest season. I'll give Mr. Robot another go but I'm also going to give Wayward Pines and the Leftovers a chance too.

Trust me, it's easily a masterpiece.

There you have it. And the new Sandman adaptation is being tossed away as a Joseph Gordon-Levitt vehicle.

I boycotted TFA because of J.J. Abrams financial backing of Hilary Clinton and Clinton's use of "My the force be with you" but I will support the Danish Dancing Mikkelsen
in anything he does. I just hope it's a worthy part but if it isn't there's also Doctor Strange to balance it out.

Nothing on TV has filled the Mad Men and Hannibal void yet. I gave Mr. Robot a chance and thought the pilot was abysmal and offensively belittling to its audience with its heavy reliance on VO. I guess I haven't watched The Knick or Leftovers yet, but I doubt they will fill the particular hole Mad Men and Hannibal…

isn't every human in space weightless?

Trent Reznor is also one of the last rock icons where even people who don't necessarily like his music cannot deny his band's ability to perform. He's definitely the last of traditional rock guys, and at least he's better than contemporary Dave Grohl and more sonically inventive than modern rock purists like the Black…

The hideous comma and profanity was unecessary, but I have been reading Between The World and Me lately and with the Tamir verdict released a few hours after the publication provoked a visceral response.

Not a single artist of color on this list, what a crock of shit.

25. The listicle

The fight choreography on that was so much better than anything on the Marvel shows I have watched, mainly because it wasn't used as a filler for whenever writers run out of story to tell.

Who is going to do the updated theme song? I think Neon Indian could do a pretty great theme.

Can't wait to hear this new Wu-Tang album featuring hip-hop luminary Cher.

I feel like the best aspects of this new Star Wars movie come from the Disney money pit rather than the boy piloting the X-wing. The cast is diversified because a board room meeting of Disney execs want to mollify the masses, and the cast is an impressive one. Yet when it comes to the script and direction of what this…

Going to give it a go for the Dern, but that animation style is about the most generic animated sitcom still that looks like an aborted Mike Judge or Mitch Hurwitz production.

Corey's twitter is real bleak. I would put that guy on suicide watch.

Watched Synecdoche NY again this weekend, and the loss of Philip Seymor Hoffman continues to be one of the hugest death knells of American cinema. There is no going back after you see a performance the quality of PSH's Caden. I also find the parellells in PSH's life and the movie disturbing too, for example Seymour's…
