I keep forgetting Caleb Carr's father was one of the Beats.

I would have also accepted "Pictured: Lisas Kudrow."

Ugh. Cannot believe I got a "Punky Brewster" notification for this.

I love the Hanni el Khatib album. Auerbach came in and polished the rough spots from Khatib's uneven "When the Guns Come Out" and they made an album I'm surprised more people aren't discovering yet.

I guess this is the 3:10 to Yuma appreciation thread/support group then. Because I liked it too.

The Sklarbro County with Scovel and Fridson was damn hilarious from the get-go.* Sklars should introduce a third show every week and make them permanent guests.

I'm pretty sure that's Frank Oz in that picture, and yeah, I immediately got the same Tobias Funke vibe from that picture.

I propose that Joliet, IL - a.k.a.  The City of Champions AND Prison City - just consolidate to The Dichotomous City. There's no half-assing* it here, it's one or the other, kids.

I hate to be one of the "Yeahbutwhatabout" people, but yeahbutwhatabout The Collector? I mean, come on!

It's a well known fact that Wiig quit SNL to play "Fred Armisen" in infomercials once he quit SNL, so… I can't promise anything.

Is that counting Chism's 5 purchases?

As a Gen X-er myself, I'm agreeing wholeheartedly with the pro-Gen X-ers AND the anti-Gen X-ers.

This @apdogtown is just the living embodiment of a sad trombone, isn't he?

Like "based on Groupon." Never Forget. http://www.vanityfair.com/o…

That line solidified this as an "A" episode for me. I think I high-fived my TV screen.

Well, that that's. Now on to "Yeezus Christ Pose," mashers.

The Fs are locked in a safe at AV Club headquarters. I'm working on a project where a terrorist group led by Vlad Gnarlivich (Jason Isaacs) enter Chicago to take Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (played by Ewan MacGregor) hostage to gain access to the Fs. Now, the AV Club's only hope is Mason Flex (Jason Statham) an ex-Navy SEAL…

I've been all over the Cooke adaptations since they started. I just decided that this was the year I was going to finally read the full run of Westlake/Stark books, or at least the first half. Even knowing the beats from the Cooke version, I still enjoyed the hell out of "The Score."

Just finished King's Joyland last week. Thought it was pretty great - if you don't go into it focusing on the ghost story aspect, you end up with something reminiscent of what he wrote back in his Different Seasons days.

George Michael would probably be unbeatable in this, because he never catches anything you throw at him.
