Well, they are artists. My issue is that it took a bullshit movement "Poptimism" for most journalists to take pop music seriously. That questions their legitimacy and independence-of-thought a little.

It's hard to identify its beginnings, although it has cultural roots in urban slang. Dropped is similar urban etymology to "throw down." For example, "I just dropped twenty on these jeans." Then there's the concert rally "drop the bomb," sibling to "raise the roof." I would guess the term dropped was popularized in…

I started noticing white music journalists saying this the night that Beyonce's self-titled, uh, wound up on the internet. It's many of the same ones who are vocally opposed to cultural appropriation.

The sketch isn't actually agreeing with the premise that it isn't sexual assault when it happens to a guy. It's pointing out the social hypocrisy of how these issues are considered.

The problem with Refn's style is that it isn't natural. He's seen other movies and is trying to imitate those, but there's no sense in Drive or this (which is virtually unwatchable) that this is his own language. Plus, his brand of ultra-violence feels like he's showing off every single time. If you've seen Lost…

Good ranking, except Nightmare 2 is the fourth best, and certainly more interesting than the okay Dream Master and Freddy Vs. Jason (which is one of the most 2003 movies ever). Don't hate it just because it was born gay.

Yup. There's a whole breed of "cinephile" now that's taste is completely dictated by what movies Tarantino likes and quotes in his own.

Not in the world I grew up in, buddy. Not in the world I grew up in.

The problem isn't "PC culture"; it's that the majority of people are stupid. This is intelligent people like Fey's actual problem with the internet. "PC culture" is what's in vogue right now, so it's what the stupid have taken on as their identity, and made into something completely reactionary and anti-intellectual.…

I'm not saying it's objectively shit. It had good elements. But film critics have been threatened and otherwise verbally attacked over less-than-glowing reviews of a lot of franchise tentpoles over the past ten years. This is a result of that.

Critics are afraid to speak negatively on a film with this much hype and this devout a fanbase.

South Park has a pretty good understanding of the actual problems with the new PC culture. The values themselves (don't be an asshole to anyone) are important, but a very large percentage of those policing them are doing so for their own political and social advantage. Otherwise, they would have cared before these…

Anyone who is honest with themselves would admit that it's the best album of the year.

TPAB is interesting, in that it's obviously a really good album, but something I never feel like listening to again. The same goes for the latest Bjork.

The obsession with take-down celebrity culture has existed in some form for a while, but it has been RAMPANT everywhere for the past few years. It's sad to see the AV Club giving into it, but maybe it really is a generational thing… Social Justice with a side of "I hate this garbage person I have never met and doesn't…

The enemy this season is a conspiracy of brainwashing. That's what links ads-in-disguise to the new PC movement (intolerant anti-intellectualism that thinks it's leftwing), which was also largely born of click bait headlines.

I'm aware. I don't necessarily agree with things simply because they happened before.

Remaking THE CROW is just gross. What self-respecting actor would want to reprise that role after someone was killed doing it? Show some damn respect.

It isn't right to judge from the cover and that she made a video with Xavier Dolan that this album is going to be self-important and uninteresting.

For me, it's the movie MASK, where Eric Stoltz plays Cher's deformed son. I was six years old and caught the trailer on HBO at my grandfather's house. The whole time, I was thinking, "This looks like a cool science fiction movie!" Then as the end it said "Based on a true story." And I was like, "This isn't cool,…
