Jason Pierce is releasing his last album as Spiritualized and the AVC Ghost of O’Neal writes its entry. Sad times. I’m gonna need that new Low album.

Nice! It’ll End in Tears is what you want to listen to while eating a KFC Sadness Bowl at 2 a.m. in your darkened apartment, just kind of staring off into the distance...

It’s been around 25 years since I’ve seen it so I could be completely wrong, but doesn’t Terry (Whoopi Goldberg’s character) start off reading the computer messages from Jack out loud? Then Jack sends her to his apartment to get the CIA contact list on the frying pan, and while she’s there his phone rings and the answe…

That reminds me: Baldwin/Jack has already played the Bruce Wayne role, with Fey/Liz as the Joker in “The Tuxedo Begins.” Then there’s this fun little Dark Knight-themed 30 Rock/Community mash-up somebody put together:

“Things really went off the tracks when Conan almost gave the game away by mentioning the fact that both Trump’s prison-bound campaign manager and personal lawyer are clearly cutting deals against him...”

“The cancellation is the latest development in a whirlwind week for Minaj. After her initial attacks on Scott and his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, she took to her Beats 1 radio show to double down.”

I had to click on an "Accept cookies" button that popped up (while the others played right away without any such notice), but after that it played without a problem.

“I laugh at people who think the world began in the 1970s (or ‘80s or ‘90s or whatever era they were children in).”

“I have to swing by MSNBC. I have to talk to Rachel Maddow. Only one of us can have this haircut.”

Pfft. Horror had been doing this going back to the 1970s. The Last Girl in horror films kicks butt and takes names. Take that, fairy tales!

Kareem Badr beat me to it while I was digging around for the gif. I was about to edit my post in deference to him. 

The Dude does not abide.

When Marvel Studios recently announced that all 20 MCU movies were getting rereleased for IMAX I couldn’t believe that there was already that many of them. I started counting them in my head and quickly realized that there were, and I was thinking of each one I was impressed about how many of them I regard favorably. 

“...you’d have a hard time finding anyone who would argue that Thor: The Dark World lives up to the MCU’s highest highs—which, for the record, are the three Captain America movies.”

There’s a scene after Benny, the diner owner who tried to help Eleven and *mild SPOILER* gets killed for it, where Hop an his deputies are called to the scene. One of the deputies jokes about how the small town all of a sudden has a missing person’s case (Will) and a shooting (Benny’s killers staged it to look like it…

Honestly I even looked up the album rankings for both because initially I thought that albums were the focus rather than songs, then I realized that the partial chart that’s included is for songs and all of the entries were for songs. Anyway, before I made that realization I was going to recommend both albums until I…

“Both Cody and Kira offer a lot of fun commentary, while still drawing attention to Nosferatu’s less-than-subtle xenophobia and allusions to anti-Semitism.”

Yeah I saw that they were focussing on songs so I was using chart positions for the songs (neither charted in the U.S.) and I missed the “nor albums from which they hail from” criterion. Oh, well.

I've seen those! Though the last time that they were on my radar the price was prohibitively expensive for me. Maybe the price has come down since. I need to look into that.

If I’m understanding the rules of the game, I think “Party Hard,” Pulp’s fourth and final single off of This Hardcore, qualifies, as does Elliott Smith’s “Waltz #2 (XO)” from XO, and I’d like to nominate both for inclusion.
