Grimes and Carly Rae Jepsen have the year's best pop albums.
The Weeknd (albeit boring) have topped the charts.
We have a new Prime Minister who is actually being sexually objectified by the press.
Denis Villeneuve made one of the year's most acclaimed films.
Forget the World Series BS. Canada is sorta killing it right

Twitter users need to lighten the fuck up. All of them.

People aspire to be film buffs? Either you are one or you aren't.

Did you see Lost Highway beforehand, and did you feel you understood that? Mulholland reworks a lot of its themes about the slipperiness of identity.

I'd say the people most confused by it (as with most of Lynch's work) are those who approach it as a puzzle with a concrete solution. Lynch isn't on that hyper-literalist wavelength; he's giving expression to the unspoken, and his movies are fairly accessible at that level.

Absolutely right that no one in It Follows has any personality. It's like a feature length Arcade Fire video directed by All the Real Girls-era David Gordon Green, and is exactly as precious as that sounds.

Wow. Relax. Not drunk. The fact is they're not being interviewed (note: I never said this was a Corgan imposed moratorium; the press isn't interested in them), while Corgan speaks to the media every other week, and complains about former band members all the time. Since he owns the band name, and is a narcissist, he

Possibly. Or maybe they left because Corgan needs to take the credit for everything. And since he's the most powerful and the only one granted interviews, no one else really has an opportunity to speak up for themselves.

There's nothing really to defend about the existence of either show, which are only about Ryan Murphy's ego and "edge."

But isn't it a problem that it doesn't hope to (or can't manage) any emotional stakes? You can still parody the behaviours presented without smugly appearing to hate your characters. There's no gravitas to anything, and it's a limitation of the series that it thinks it doesn't need any.

In the day, Entertainment Weekly paid $2 per word on its reviews. So there probably wasn't too much self-hatred.

Hmm. The review is pretty damn positive. Isn't B+ good anymore? The stand-up I've seen Schumer do is about B- material, though I do like her sketches, and I never root for her to fail. I do think the internet rushed to declare her a genius, because they really want her to be one (which is the opposite of wanting to

You may be right on the predictability, but Jeselnik is playing a smarmy douche archetype in his standup. Perhaps it's the Andrew Dice Clay/Larry the Cable Guy problem: The people who like it assume the persona as the hero.

It was hard convincing people why that song felt like a slight to many gay teenagers back when it was popular. But at least it hasn't aged AS poorly as Perry's "Ur So Gay," which most people pretend doesn't even exist.

I thought THE WOMAN was a good movie. Actually, I liked it more than MAY.

And slowly but surely, people reveal their true selves.

Yeah, because it's only MRAs who can possibly have a criticism of this. That phantom menace has just overtaken this site.

Icky as in corrupt and untrue? Yeah, you're trying to do that.

You're deliberately missing her point.

White, young and attractive - a deadly combo.
