Woah… that is… not a very good criticism. Where the fuck did that even come from? Also, yeah Seal has acne scars, but, man, do the ladies love him.

"Numb" will always have a special place in my heart because it was on the TV in a bowling alley where me and my first girlfriend very publicly and very, very badly made out for the first time.

Let's not forget Lost Highway, which features not one but to Rammstein songs, but is still pretty damn good.

I am not even remotely a U2 fan, but even I realized that almost everything that was said about the song and video in this article is wrong.

Me too, but I think the 'Dad has trouble recognizing his daughter is an autonomous being' genre is fundamentally flawed.

This looks very bad :(

Maybe, but think about the hi-jinks those Griswolds could've gotten into in Vatican City!

I do, however, like the newly formed 'douche canon'.

I kind of hope Ben Affleck gets his Batman film off the ground (so to speak). His take seemed to be Batman as a 'why do I keep doing this shit?' kind of dude.

I like Angel Olsen a lot, but I have to say A.V. Club's music coverage seems so random sometimes, larger pop acts, occasional more popular indie stuff, and then completely random bands that… maybe the writer likes? At least Olsen has the dubious honor of having an album be named album of the year by AV Club as well as…

ALA is ground zero of ravenous book lovers of all types, the most grotesque display being the barely contolled 'running of the promo books'. Even Rome at its most deprived could not come close to that bacchanalia.

I just don't think that the safety belt thing is the right analogy, so I don't think it's going to be useful to pursue it in the same way. What you're talking about is a regulation on use, not a safety regulation. Cars without seat belts were deemed a hazard through the litigation that you're referring to, but I fail…

At the very least, that would lead to some hilarious Looney Tunes like hi-jinks.

Okay, but those already exist, and I'm not sure what value including them in the design of a gun would have; besides the onus of owning one and using one would have to be on the owner of the gun not the manufacturer. Plus, the skit here and most of the discussion is from the perspective of victims of gun violence, so…

If you were really a monarchist you'd be wearing a ruff, you philistine.

That's an odd comparison. What would an analogous feature of a gun be? There's plenty of safety features on a gun that are designed to prevent the user from injuring themselves.

When I saw 'Bowie reissues' I thought it was going to be the second round of boxsets that produced the very nicely remastered Five Years box. I was hoping that we'd get a Thin White Duke to Berlin Box… but no.

Whenever common-folk hero goes up in a fire of inarticulate idiocy now, I picture the part in Colbert's 'Ballad of Cliven Bundy' sketch where he cuts off the song in a panic after playing a clip of Bundy saying that blacks were better off in slavery.

Whither Joe the Plumber?

I was momentarily like, Oh, there's no way this is going to be as good as the Tarkovsky film, then I was like, well no shit, it won't be anything like the Tarkovsky film. So maybe being incomparable to the film, it might be good on its own terms.
