U.S. Girls and Jamie xx were great and i really am digging the Social Experiment lately. On the strength of me knowing those 3 things, I will totally check out the rest.

I think Viet Cong's self-titled album and Deerhunter's Fading Frontier deserve a little nod. Shit, maybe even a wink. Julia Holter's Have You In My Wilderness is genuinely great though, and belongs on this list probably.

This might just be one of my favorite episodes so far. Just the bridge scene alone, with Jack dumping Bella's ashes in the river, was so beautifully composed and representative of the show's best stylistic divergences. Fishburne remains the beating heart of this show, and it's SO DAMN SATISFYING to see him get the…

I've returned to Arkham City way more than I have to Arkham Asylum, and it has everything to do with the fact that (and again, personal preference) City is so wonderfully filled with side missions, Batman lore and an expansive atmosphere.

She's been in a lot of pretty terrible movies, but somehow she elevates every single one (Bringing Down the House comes to mind). Missi Pyle is like a precious resource that no one seems to realize is precious.

"It left me speechless"- Martin Scorcese

There's no time. I have a lot of youtube poops to catch up on.

So both of these videos were released 2 years ago, culled from a stand-up special that was released 4 years ago.

They don't?

So some brief thoughts here:

Seriously! I'm pretty sure the show is bigger than ever and it doesn't even get a mention?

Well if the Bob Spitz biography is to be believed, McCartney was something of a manipulative egomaniac in his own right, Harrison was a bit of a dour asshole with a chip on his shoulder, and Lennon was a tortured drug addict struggling with his guilt and sexuality.

I just did my first playthrough of Origins, and while it's solid and keeps a lot of core elements from the series intact, I really don't think it holds a candle to the other two. I left it feeling like i'd played something well-intentioned but hollow.

So excited for Birdman, if only because I wanna see the guy responsible for Amores Perros and 21 Grams make a comedy. In light of that it's kind of weird to say that it's his most "playful film", as I can't see anything topping Babel for sheer whimsy, but I'll keep an open mind.

Whoa!

Just a Max, weirdly. My parents wanted to be unique without coloring outside the lines. In any case good to meet another Max! I don't know many.

Well there was a period where that Max Power episode of the Simpsons happened at around the same time they were launching a line of toys called Max Steel (tagline: "Take it to the max! MAX STEEL") and 'Max Keeble's Big Move' was airing trailers nonstop on Nickelodeon (the trailer was basically kids whispering the…

Coraline alone won enough goodwill from me to see anything Laika puts out for the foreseeable future. It was visually distinct and didn't pull back on the sometimes oppressively unsettling beats in the story. It embraced darkness in a way that respected it's young audience enough to go along with it.

I would be happy if he did that. Flight was a good start.

So you're telling me that a movie featuring an aging actor going on a killing rampage in service of protecting the dignity of an up and coming female-actress-gone-edgy's character is not that good?
