Actually can I say THE UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT?

Every review I've ever read of Dolan's movies have been basically, "He's super talented but also this wasn't very good?" in like review-upspeak. I plan on watching all of his stuff at some point, but every time I'm about to, a new thing of his comes out and I read the reviews and I'm like "Oh, well—maybe later…

RETOAST

She was great in Please Give, so ever since then I've been excited to see her in movies, and then I see the movie surrounding her and opt out.

Today's accomplishment: I am now able to identify the reviewer by their dek. Before you ask, no, I have no one IRL.

Don't worry, Chronicle actually was bad.

I tried to look up the song. It became one of those days when suggested searches is really pulling its weight.

His gams really are something too.

I thought it was pretty clear. Madonna saying her music was shallow doesn't decrease the belligerence of your accusation, or verify it. And hey, I disagree that her music is shallow. And even so, your argument turns on "attention whoring" and the vapidity of their music. Which is bullshit in the sense that every pop…

As I read Alien Jesus, That's not even the point. It's your contribution to a toxic environment that rails against exploration or personal pleasure, which is not incidentally related to pop's feminized artistic space (you aren't jumping on rando youtube videos of people playing guitar covers in their bedrooms). She…

Even if this weren't tragically wrong, it'd remain grossly condescending and sexist.

Yeah, when I was in high school (~2008) Top 40 was terrible, and when I was a kid it was even worse. It really put me off of pop, but I agree that now it's quite good. I don't think I've mellowed out because Jack Johnson is still awful, but I almost wonder if reflexive hatred of mainstream music is a result of…

Yeah, This American Life did a segment about it too, and they read a bunch of the emails on air (very… passionate objectors). I was thinking about that…

I'm a copyeditor, I keep my work at work!

Gonna go to the mat for Drunk Girls, it's one of my favorite LCD songs. As someone who is not a clubber, it seemed probably the most thoroughly sympathetic-but-clear-eyed description of why people go to nightclubs, the gender dynamics, the desires that are both unspoken and extravagantly expressed. Disturbing and…

Regardless of it's quality (I like it though), I'm not hearing vocal fry either.

This song does that for me no matter what.

SHOTS FIRED

I haven't actually read "Troilus and Cressida." But as a literary critic, intertextuality is a sort of overdetermined interest for me, in the way that directors love making movies about directors, writers writing about writers, and so on, and so "Titus Andronicus" sort of presents my greatest interest in this…

literally, in the case of cobain: "I'm a wino, AND A RHINO!!!"
