All these puns make me want to lunge off a building.

I rewound the last minute of this episode about fifteen times, thinking I missed something. Nope, Gretchen just turned the corner in the middle of the night, with no apparent impetus. I'm glad to see that everyone else sees it, because yesterday was my first experience with this show (I imbibed season 1 on hulu and…

If you haven't read Alias, you should — it's absolutely great. The Pulse less great but still a good salve when you run out of Alias.

Room is the most intriguing to me — I spent a lot of time after reading the book thinking about how the movie could be made. I hope that it sticks to the boy's perspective, because if they try to tell this story by showing all perspectives it will probably lose its focus, forgetting what's remarkable about the story…

If I didn't understand BTTF before, I wouldn't understand it now. This is unsuccessful.

It really is terrible. This is, once again, the kind of HateSong I love, where the person has familiarity with the song, and doesn't hate that it is a song, but hates specifically this song.

I get what you're saying but "noodling" is a bit minimizing. This guy is matching tones, switching out axes and tunings — there is a lot of thoughtful work in here. You're not wrong, but this isn't not worth our time.

It is more an enhancement than a cover. I'm listening to the Yeezus section now and it's pretty nice.

How do you feel about the Dave Grohl Chronicles?

5 stars for Koba's scenes in the armory.

I turned to my wife after the second one ended in the theatre and said, "Well, that was better than we had a right to expect it to be."

Finally, a HateSong that doesn't come from a perspective that wholly hates the culture of the piece. This one actually makes me like the song less than I did before (I always found it to be kind of neutral, which I'm coming to realize makes it worse than a lot of songs that I actively hate, if that makes sense.)

Best thing in the comment thread for that episode:

Reminds me a bit of "We Gets Up."

"Popped up on?" The last line of the chorus is "All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome."

Splinter Cell hasn't been the same without him.

I love this show, and can remember Elise (the guy pictured with her above, whose name eludes me, was doing a demo at Willams Sonoma when my wife and I were picking out our registry, and I was all THAT GUY THAT GUY!), so this was fun to contextualize. Thank you — Expert Witness continues to be one of my favorite AVC…

God DAMN I can feel myself wanting my cable subscription back.
