Still, the Pitchfork review has AVC beat; reviewer opens by criticizing their lack of musical range and says that all Gorillaz songs sound like "music you'd hear in a GameStop circa 2000" or some such.

FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE-TO-TAPE!!!

I agree that it wasn't the strongest SV season premiere we've seen, but this show still makes me legitimately laugh out loud (llol) at least three times an episode which puts it above 99% of TV comedies on the air.

I thought they were gonna go full "Harry and the Hendersons" for a second.

Ouch, he got us guys! Don't think I'll recover from this one! Ouchie!

My understanding was that pretty much everything John said to Brian was knowingly "on the record", with only a few exceptions when we actually hear him ask for the recording to be stopped; most of it just wasn't relevant at the time, since John wasn't the center of the story when the interviews took place. You can…

Dear God, that Kid A review….. remember the Slanted and Enchanted review that was literally scanned handwritten pages from a legal pad? *gag*

I was pretty meh on The Immigrant, though the beauty of its craft was admirable; I just never felt as if the film was enriching my perspective on the immigrant experience, which has been explored in so many other artworks before it.

Interesting, I didn't hear that sort of patronizing tone about the South at any point during the run. That's actually one of the things I (a lifelong TN resident) really appreciated about it; Reed doesn't shy away from the Shittown residents' various shortcomings, but through individual conversations with people like…

Don't know why this memory just clicked with me now, but the mention of Pokémon Go being a social experience brought me back to the summer program at my elementary school, where all the kids with Gameboys Color would sit around a table playing Pokémon R/B/Y and a bunch of kids without one would stand over their…

It's a shame Burning Love is so difficult to find now (just on Amazon Video I believe) because June's starring turn in season two is truly one of the greatest comedic performances I've ever seen. Not only does she nail the satiric part of the Bachelorette role, but she also endows her character with this intensity…

That's always the argument on Family Guy, and it definitely changed post-revival in terms of tone and consistency, but there are still some genuinely-great episodes in seasons 4-6. The "Stewie Kills Lois" two-parter was a series-high.

I remember when I first bought this album on iTunes, having no familiarity with it and just trying to expand my musical horizons a bit, it was based on hearing the clips for the first three songs (all conventional, if still awesome, pop songs) which made it seem like another Beatles-ish 60s band. Needless to say, I…

I agree, and that's all anyone can ask for from a worthwhile critic; you're never going to agree with anyone 100% of the time, but the ones worth reading are good enough at communicating a consistent perspective that even the reviews we disagree with the most can still be edifying and thought-provoking.

I just came here for the Trump shills. WHERE ARE ALL THE PROFILE PIC-LESS TRUMP SHILLS???

Original Tommy or GTFO

Really earning your paycheck tonight, huh sport?

The drop off in quality from the pilot to episode 2 was truly startling. I had heard all the hype and was floored by the pilot's artistry, and then was so, so disappointed to find everything so much worse in the very next episode: the flat characters, the terrible dialogue…ugh.

I've been thinking about the Meyers one a lot recently, mostly that one Trump joke that is really pretty sad in retrospect:

Your obvious emotional problems aside, that's an Amy Schumer quote you were responding to. You know, the stand-up comedian? Like the subject of this article you're commenting on?
