Pet Sounds. But this is not the argument. The argument is Beach Boys Today! or Revolver. Tough one right? How about Sunflower or Paul and Linda's RAM?

My brother running into my room to tell me he just saw an ad on TV for a sci-fi movie with robots, a space werewolf (Chewy) and a villain with a black skull head (Vader, natch).

Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd seem to be kinda fading from pantheon of guitar godhood. There are so many exquisite solos on Marquee Moon, flashy and tasteful at the same time. But the first solo "See No Evil" is a mission statement that says punk rock can be virtuoso and spontaneous at the same time.

Can I get a cherry glaze?

On of the most intense audience traumatizing theatrical experiences I've had was The Strangers. I was living in a college town and horror movies at the multiplex were usually filled with undergrads, mostly women. The scene was pandemonium from the get go with shrieks and horrified gasps and people throwing themselves

In high school my friends and I would frequent the local repertory movie theater. During one particularly dull film, one of my pals set fire to the hair of a woman sitting in front of us. We fled so fast I don't know the extent of the damage.

I don't really care about utilizing CGI character likeness for future episodes. Just another paint in the paint box near as I can tell. But I did want to put forward this forward from Tom & Lorenzo's fashion blog: Millie Bobby Brown for Young Leia Organa Adventures. Directed by, oh, let's say…Barry Jenkins.

I get where you're coming from but it just takes a couple clicks to disprove that assumption. The Metacritic score is pretty much in the middle with positive reviews (like The Guardian's) just outnumbering the mediocre. Few strongly negative. I'm not suggesting this somehow confirms it's a slept-on masterpiece (though

The AV Club hates Twilight? Stop the presses! It's like the original crew of critics never left. Great and informative job of keeping the traditions alive.

Considering the amount of ink spilled recently over that Facebook meme machine, you know the one, don't make me search her name. Pretty, blonde, painfully strident, racist…I know that's not narrowing it down. She was on The Daily Show. Anyway she seemed like her entire reason for being was a FOX News audition.

Don't know if any other commenters mentioned this role, but Jimmi gets a free pass for life from me for his Marilyn Manson-esque rocker pining for a normal life in an episode of Party Down. Hilarious and surprisingly poignant.

Seeing it was one of my favorite screening experiences from the last several years. It was in a college town and before the lights went down the crowd was loud and rambunctious in a way that made me anxious. But when the tension in the film started to escalate they knocked that shit out. Attention was rapt. People

A layer of super sharp white cheddar on either side of the bread. A thin layer of imported Parmigiano-Reggiano for a little spice. Brown on one side (in a pan using 1/2 butter, 1/2 Olive Oil). After the flip spread a layer of Taleggio across the browned side and cover. It doesn't make it easy to eat, but it never gets

You see that lady on the path walking two fat dogs? That's Lady Dynamite and seriously gang, you should watch the hell out of that show. Brilliant!

She can't but it's only because she doesn't think he's that funny. Also, he has fingers like cocktail franks.

My wife has a rat phobia for real. I'd never really met someone with a hardcore, paralyzing phobia before. At least not one that I could regularly see evidence of. Last Crusade is out of the question. She can't even watch Ratatouille because the animators used real rats to get their movements right.

Why are you doing this to me?

A liberal amount of cologne applied to the undercarriage is really all I have time for.

It's fine! But c'mon. Reitman is a serviceable filmmaker at best. Any of his other films (yes, even Meatballs) illustrate this. His pacing is off. He indulges his stars too much. His guiding principle appears to be "point the camera at Murray and shut it off when he's done riffing." And this bs about the motivation

Not making a comparison, my friend.
