Wow, really? What smoke have you been crackin'? Don't get me wrong, I love me some obscure nordic metal, but just because a band does something new and interesting does not make them influential. For every person who picks up a guitar to learn an Opeth song, 10 of them will do so to learn some Mastodon. Damn near…

I'm not sure I like the hipsters who hate Garden State now any more than the insufferable wannabes that loved it then (myself included). There's nothing inherently better about ironic detachment than eager sentimentality.

Ironic that by choosing to chase the 18-49 Nielsen ratings they're going to lose all of the 18-49 viewers. Wait, not ironic. Just dumb.
