ZING!

Was the Gilmore Girls revival really a disaster? I mean, it wasn’t great, but it had plenty of great moments and certainly was a hell of a better closer to the show than the entirety of season 7.

That’s a true fact!

...off of a killer album. That album seriously melts my face off.

I can’t wait for 2064 to be snubbed in 2033

Good double bill with Annihilation?

First book was far and away the best of the trilogy. Second book has a completely different setting and characters and is pretty awful. Third book was just confusing and not very satisfying. If you’re already frustrated by the vagueness, continuing on will only make you more angry.

But Gina Rodriguez’s character had the same tattoo...

And <i>not</i> surviving a heart attack is an even better first step in preventing a second one.

Awwww. I know I’m in the minority, but I actually like that movie. And objectively, yes, there have been far worse movies.

I hope he skips Blade and talks about the superior Blade II instead.

Didn’t it basically kill big budget superhero movies until Spiderman in 2002? Seems like a perfect talking point.

Sidebar to this sidebar: what would be everyone’s pick for worst comic book movie of all time, not taking into account stuff like the super low budget first Captain America movie?

All of the negative reviews definitely convinced me to skip The Cloverfield Paradox. And reading comments from users who ignored or didn’t see the reviews and watched it anyway further convinced me that I made a good move in not wasting my time.

“Virginia Reel Around the Fountain”

Did you know that Secret Samadhi has the dumbest lyrics of any album ever made? It’s true. Every goddamn song. It’s like Ed Kowalczyk went out of his way to make every single lyric bonkers and awkward. It’s astonishing really.

If you want people to actually see this column, it might help to add a “Books” tab at the top of your site.

Good call on both! Incidentally, I’m seeing Frightened Rabbit tomorrow night and they’re playing that album in full for its 10th anniversary. I am, as the French say, pretty stoked.

When it comes to “sad bastard music,” The National doesn’t hold a candle to Red House Painters.

Fuck yeah! Love her.
