With all due respect, taking a gander around these boards, it seems like deleting posts in the name of "avoiding redundancies" is a standard that is rarely applied.

RockLobster: for some reason, it's the silver sewing kit that really sells that image. Details matter.

In his defense….
I don't know quite how to classify the Michael Bay hating en masse that has spread throughout the pop culture space over the last few years. Is it an accepted critical consensus that Bay is so awful he must be stopped at any cost? Is it just some jokey meme - a catchphrase, a kind of shorthand code…

A Criterion box of Larry Sanders might be cool, especially if it had every episode. But as far as extra content goodies, nothing can beat the stuff Shandling put together for the "Not Just the Best of the Larry Sanders Show" DVD. It's a bizzare string of short films where he interviews various guest stars about the…

TCA Press?
Sorry, but the rambling opining of the geeks will always be more interesting than anything that might be encountered during the "TCA Press Tour." WhatEVER the hell that is.

Jack Kirby troll
I just want someone to say something bad about Jack Kirby like my classmates in art school. Then I'm gonna come over your house and beat you up.

Tweet =< Comprehensible.
Sorry guys but the brave new Tweet model of covering a breaking event en masse is a bit of a fail. It's impossible to follow and incoherent. And I hate Twitter.

Gun are pretty friggin' fun, I'll give them that. But do we really need to have so many floating around? Make them at least as hard to get as a car and a driver's license and I'd be OK with that.

Someone feeling this overwhelmingly negative about the Green Hornet more unsettling than any fanboy's forced excitement. I liked the Green Hornet TV show (although "Dragon", the Bruce Lee bio pic, makes it look a lot more exciting than it ever was.)

Rock and Roll R.I.P.
Rock music and -the culture that was attached to it- used to be the glue that would hold various youth sub-cultures together. You like Led Zeppelin? You like The Sex Pistols? We know what table you will sit at in the school cafeteria. It's similar to Chuck D's old quote about 'rap music being CNN…

A far as interviews go, Jay Leno said something interesting in his Rolling Stone interview. Basically, unless it's Brad Pitt -or some other A-list hot-shot- it means zilch ratings wise. And also interestingly, apparently they put rock bands on at the end of the show because a big chunk of the audience bails out when…

I'm tryin' to be a hater…
…but I don't really get the "Lets All Hate Dane Cook" thing. I accidentally watched "Employee of the Month" and didn't think it was particularly good or bad. I had no idea who Dane Cook was at the time - I was only vaguely aware he was a comic and not some generic face from a WB show I never…

Eh, but maybe your kids would benefit from something that was generated from an actual, individual voice. The Harry Potter stuff is (nominaly) the only thing you mention that wasn't created (or at least popularized) by some corporate media conglomerate. I suggest more Roald Dahl and Shel Silverstein.

Dear ol' Dad
My Dad is a pretty tough and street-smart Brooklyn guy who basically despised rock and roll (and still does) but he was surprisingly open to to a wide range of other stuff and introduced me to Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Will The Circle Be Unbroken." Not to mention…

Meh…
What do I know? I like "The Island." It's got a bit of actual science fiction - at least at its core, it recalls some big studio 70s sci-fi - and lots of slam and bang. As a matter of fact, I don't get all the Bay-hating. I liked parts of "Pearl Harbor" and even "Armageddon" but I really loved "Transformers."…

I read tons of books and every issue of Bookforum and the Times Review. And I spend way-too-much time in book stores. And I'm amazed at the number of books I havent heard of - much less read - that have been suggested on this thread. There is a big ol' world of books out there.

But please, not….
…Chuck Pahlaniuk, Dave Eggers or Chuck Klosterman. I'm sick of reading about them.
