Somewhere the Marvin Gaye Estate is writing a furious letter to Elvis Costello about being a bad example. 

after her performance in Palm Springs I’m pretty confident she should be getting work like, everywhere. she is fucking brilliant in that movie

I had a similar experience with Superstore: I watched the first 4 or 5 episodes because I’d heard good things about it, but it’s just not for me. It kind of felt like the show hated most of its own characters. It probably gets better (almost nothing peaks in season one), but I wasn’t interested in it enough to find out…

It never occurred to me that being met by two women in that episode meant that Andrew was now straight. They were his friends. Andrew was gay. He was in love with Warren. I always assumed that the “past flaws” had to do with, you know, killing his only friend (at the time) in cold blood.

I watched a couple of episodes of Sex/Life tonight. It makes The L Word look like Shakespeare.

Sarah Shahi’s character should obviously be pining for her one true love: Amy Acker as Root

I’m partial to Broken Arrow since they sampled one of my favorite childhood movies growing up The Point, original song by Harry Nilsson. It’s sad to hear he’s gone, but a great reminder to listen to this and their other albums again.

One of the most underrated rappers out there. He’s probably best known for Alphabet Aerobics and Chemical Calisthenics, which were good if gimmicky, but he has some flat out great songs with Blackalicious, Quannum, and his solo albums (4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up holds us and is a really, really good album).

I wish I had a question that started with “my girlfriend.”

Actually, Tig Notaro is a great idea for this role!

It’s a shame. I like this show. It’s a lot of fun. Do they have to keep Middleditch though? I wouldn’t mind another actor taking over the role at all. I can’t imagine anyone would mind.

Yes, but you can put almost anything at the end of “The real problem is social media, not...” and it’s true.

Man, Press Your Luck/Pyramid were wild last night.

Toronto is a city with a population that is 50% foreign born and 50% visible minority. Scott Pilgrim is pretty white; I wasn’t even talking about major roles: even more PoC background extras would’ve at least looked like the Toronto I know. I was also going to indie rock concerts at Lee’s Palace and grabbing a slice…

Honestly, dirtside, the more people complain (ahem, complaints can be directed to tips@avclub.com), the more attention is paid.

I’ve gone on about this before so I won’t go TOO in the weeds here, but Lawrence’s popularity rise in mass media is another example of the white woman we vaunt and idolize only to publicly and gleefully tear her down. Lawrence was often pitted against Anne Hathaway- Hathaway was once considered quirky, but not in the…

I guess someone said, “Hey gang, let’s split up,” and it ended up being permanent.

Just give me a Velma and Marcie show. Fred, Daphne, and Shaggy can show up in supporting roles as long as they stay out of the way of the geniuses.

When one of my good friends from high school finally came out to us it was an emotional thing for him and us all. After the tears and hugs and such my other friend said bluntly to break the ice “We always sorta kind of suspected but based on your terrible fashion sense we figured you were just really bad with girls”.…

Listen, Bob - if the gay people in your life haven’t stopped you from leaving the house looking like a boxcar hobo who collapsed on a Walgreen’s 4th of July display, then they’re definitely not your friends.
