Is this medley better than either original?  Not at all, but it’s not terrible either.

The Sound of Silence is a pretty pretentious song to begin with.  Larding on the melodrama with a trowel doesn’t help it. 

How is I Will Always Love You a mere 23rd on this list, just above [checks notes]....Husker Du?  

This looks so incredibly bad. It’s literally the thing Squid Game was satirizing.

It’s for people who thought The State was laugh out loud funny.

People who are great with data skills are frequently not great with people skills.  Someone who’s great with both is uncommon.

Consistency is only a virtue if you’re not being insufferable.

“Neil deGrasse Tyson largely exists to fill one major niche these days: Pedant.”  I’m glad someone else things this.  He just seems increasingly insufferable, which is not a good characteristic for an alleged popularizer of science.

Depends on a lot of factors.  Most people in state prison do about 25% of the sentence, but a rape conviction isn’t just any conviction.  It’s conceivable he could do less than 30, but I bet he doesn’t end up on the low end of the what’s possible.

He’s attempting to have the divorce and custody case heard in the United States instead of the United Kingdom.  When it comes to court, it’s always better to play on your home field.

Imagine getting so spun up over a Ghostbusters movie that you sent someone a death threat. How terrible is your life?

Sentences are rarely reduced on appeal.  They may order a new trial, but I wouldn’t expect a sentence reduction.

Consistency is only a virtue if you’re not a screw up

I’m not really sure why Solo got panned so badly. It wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as some made it out to be. Glover and Alden Ehrenreich were both pretty good in it, IMO.

I feel like this is missing Whip It by Devo and Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz.

The casting was pretty killer, and a lot of the costumes and sets were great.

In one example, Lin writes that the staff was discussing Margaret Cho’s All-American Girl, a 1994 sitcom about growing up in a Korean-American family. “Marc turned to me and said, ‘Patty, you should write a show like that,’” the author recalled. “I love Margaret Cho, but please don’t lump us together just because…

Is the viewing public as obsessed with this series as the AVClub seems to be?  

It’s worked in the music industry. Performers are essentially interchangeable parts now.
