All of them because critics are afraid to criticize Radiohead (even though the AV Club's "B" feels pretty accurate as this album doesn't really cover any new ground for this band, but it's still good).

Please note that I saw the ride break down, noted the lack of safety tests, and got on the ride with my first born anyway. I know the place is a dangerous shit hole. I know I should never go back. I also know they hand out free tickets all the time. Vowing to probably never do something is me being aware of my own…
Mount Olympus in Wisconsin will be the next Action Park. An indoor coaster had a faulty lap bar launching a 63-year old man onto the floor putting him in a coma. They nearly lost two kids last year on a bungee ride that launches people in the air (cable snapped just before the pin was pulled to launch the ride). Their…
Negotiating with the Russians while caring for his bloody nose is gold too
I'd agree it's not as beloved, but Lebowski might be my favorite movie ever so much so that I have a tongue-in-cheek requested to my wife that I want to be cremated, placed in a coffee can, and spread into the bosom of the Pacific Ocean. It's unlikely he outlives me, but if Jeff Bridges can be there, it should be…
The Man Who Wasn't There was where my wife and I went on our first date. I spent the whole movie worried she wouldn't like it because the Coens' humor can be extremely subtle at times (like the lawyer opining on the great mysteries of the universe and including how water comes out of the faucet). It still gets quoted…
I enjoyed Burn After Reading. I even kind of like Ladykillers which everyone else seems to hate. I despise Intolerable Cruelty.
Now, I might be alone on this, and I'm not here representing HardBodies, but I'd consider myself a Burn After Reading fan. Clooney getting mad at his girlfriend and defiantly marching upstairs before marching out with his sex wedge might be his finest work. Brad Pitt is great in it too. It's shares a soul with…
His best shtick was his WCW "troll the crowd" routine (Man of 1,004 holds: No. 1, arm bar…) or troll Goldberg routine. Unfortunately for him, that role is now handled by New Day. Now, the best we get is an extremely watered-down version of his early WWF days where most of his cheers are because he used to be awesome.…
The plan is for Triple H and Reigns to top Wrestlemania because nothing puts butts in the seats like the least charismatic champion since 1980s Bob Backlund taking on a guy who was second fiddle in DX, leader of DX by default because it was filled with the 123 Kid, a Smoking Gunn, and an Armstrong brother, and then…
WWF Superstars at 11 am, WWF Wrestling Challenge at noon, WCW/NWA at 5:05 (because TBS), Roller Games at 6:05, American Gladiators at 7:05. The late 80s/early 90s was the best time for fans of steroids and storylines in their sports.
I say this as an atheist who has no belief in souls or afterlife and what-have-you, but you cannot watch too much Sunny in a row without feeling like you need to drink bleach to clean out your soul.
See, I think it serves as very important training. Whether you're hallucinating from a severe lack of sleep or a heroin addiction, the show must go on. You need to be able to work at less than 100% of your mental capacity if you're going to make it in the music business.
The book is amazing. When I heard it was being made into a movie by Ron Howard, I was excited. Then I saw a trailer where whaler's wives were tearfully telling them to come back safely, and I knew they had Hollywooded it up too much. Philbrick is a really good historical author, people should read all of his stuff.
The fun thing is Ralphie's fantasies of using a BB gun to fend off evil are exactly the same as the fantasies of NRA members.
Just a continuation of their series of "Remember that guy who resorted to drug use because we made his life a living hell by accusing him of jumping on the grunge bandwagon? Yeah, he ended up pretty successful, but never escaped our label."
I wonder how Weiland's death affects their lawsuit against him.
PJ is one of my all time favorite bands. On Ten, the lyrics of Black make somebody who has lost a lover react like a cartoon villain whose plot has been foiled. Release contains the lyric "on a rocking horse of time." Put in context, the Glorified G lyrics feel like growth.
My friend has a rule that he will listen to a band's breakthrough album and the two albums that follow, and call it a day. He figures, they've probably said all that they have to say, and in most cases, he's right.
See, I hear Glorified G in my head every time there is a mass shooting and some asshat goes on TV saying we need more guns (so everyday). I also like the history of behind it. Essentially Vedder couldn't stand their drummer, and one day the drummer showed up bragging about a gun purchase, and when the band was like,…
