RIP Christopher Hitchens. You were usually wrong, incredibly misogynist, and defended torture. Rest in peace.

Sorry for not reading completely any of the 18 novels you've written in the comment section about a silly music video.

"A friend of mine told me she doubts lana Del rey would be getting the
same exposure from music sites and blogs if she wasn't pretty."

Lana del Rey has a haunting and otherworldly voice that I think the producers of her songs highlight well. Too bad her songs all have awful, incredibly cliched lyrics that completely ruin any atmosphere they might have created.

The AV Club: We Have Absolutely No Black People™

Also, Spaced.

I've tried the Stuff You Should Know podcast twice, and both times it felt like the hosts had done absolutely no research on the subject and were just kinda reading out loud stuff they were finding from google searches they were doing just then. The Peace Corp episode was recommended by the AV Club, and it was just an

It's been years since I've read it, but I really liked it at the time. It placed these simple and strict time traveling rules and then used them to explore a realistically written long term relationship in an unusual way.

If anyone but Stephen Moffat is writing it, then I'm not interested.

The Time Traveler's Wife (book, never saw the movie) was really good about this. It established some simple and firm rules on how the time traveling worked right at the start, and then it explored every possible scenario those rules allowed without ever cheating or changing them.

The book is a comedy. It's essentially a parody of cyberpunk. If you're looking for a serious book with serious characters, then you're looking the wrong place.

That really is an embarrassingly bad episode, but I still managed to finish it. I couldn't get through the atrocious Daleks in Manhattan two-parter. I gave up a few minutes into the second part.

I did the same thing. I'm pretty sure it was written to work that way, and it was the perfect adulthood for Frazz to have.

I'm surprised to not see any mention of Frazz here. Admittedly it's been years since I read it and I don't even know if it's still running, but I remember it as one of the smartest and funniest comics since C+H stopped.

The only Top Gear episode I've seen is the one where they build new versions of RVs and then take them camping near the beach. It was one of the funniest things of any kind that I've ever seen. Any other suggestions for episodes to check out on Netflix, or are they all that good?

Also, who cares about Roger Ebert, when the best tweets about it were happening over here:

Why should the fact that he's recently deceased imbue any respect to him whatsoever? I like Jackass. I find all three movies funny. But the guy died doing any awful thing and no one should even pretend to respect that for a moment.

Attention Bam Margera
The world isn't required to feel sad when you feel sad. Especially about a guy mostly known for having shoved a toy up his ass and who died murdering one person with the possibility that he could have easily killed many more.
