He never did that.

That's why movie President is so much awesomer than real President. You just give the Secret Service the slip through some clever trickery, and just get out there and get your coffee from real working Americans—just kind of get out there and really get to talking to them, you know, like you did as that young…

Fun fact: The President of Italy's palace, in urban Rome, is twenty times the size of the White House.

Democrats, probably predictably, always seem to have done a much more aesthetically pleasing job than Republicans (we're talking post-renovation White House era here). Republican redecorations still seem a bit…Eisenhowery. George W Bush, not normally thought of as an aesthete, was actually a bit better in this regard,…

Can't he combine the best of both worlds and be a swell dick?

I agree with HM of the Known Universe (and with your revised assessment). This seems to be really more about, "Lennon was a giant asshole, more so than many (and perhaps Mr. Natureslayer) are aware of; and these are the political opinions that I disagree with, therefore appropriate to an 'asshole,' so I associate the…

They really should be holding themselves to a higher standard.

Oh man! I didn't even know Disqus did that. I have absolutely no idea how Disqus works, beyond the fact that I log on to AV Club and write shit and Disqus posts it. (At least I know I can say "Disqus" all I want, because ain't nobody out there putting themselves on notice for "Disqus.")

Ah, right. In all these years I haven't ever stopped mixing them up (the titles, not the shows themselves). I'm lucky I didn't call it Community; that can get you brought up on blasphemy charges in these parts.

Dennis Rodman?

I'm always willing to grant a name that I've never heard of—who am I to presume I know who kids or foreigners are into these days. But Taylor Lautner? Taylor fucking Lautner? Is this the right year's list? Who was number eleven, Jesse McCartney?

Me too! Conventional wisdom seems to be that paul has the nicer butt, but I have always disagreed.

No to that last part; SWS never got the career (much less the Prattlike media buzz, which was basically nil) even in its first, "successful" decade that his talent and success clearly deserved. But in my haste to ride to his defense I didn't really keep track of what was actually said in the comments. No one really…

Heh heh. People have been making Cher-is-old jokes since the 80s. (Triumph the Dog to Richie Sambora: "This guy is a legend, man. This guy went out with Cher back when she was still in her sixties.")

I debated whether to address this. Not really talking "moral" sins here, more like constant crimes against the art of satire.

The first episode I saw of Adventure Time MILD SPOILERS was the one where Finn gets turned on by seeing his fire girlfriend fighting the ice wizard, and then he has a dream where she warms his genitals, and starts acting like a dick and provoking her into fighting again and again so he can get off. And I thought it…

I try not to judge people's tastes, but I do have a hard time thinking that someone who puts Samantha Bee on her list is less concerned that their comedians be funny than that they be "brave," or whatever (inevitably on behalf of a stance that one finds oneself in accordance with).

Alright, that's enough of this.

Nostalgia reruns for GenXers, though, is no longer going to be a good cable business model; that cohort is very tech-comfortable and online is a much more natural home for that material. So you pretty much either go hard for the reverse-mortgage crowd or get new programming. The former is reliable, wealthy, and easy…

Not skip exactly, but I've heard the Tilda Swinton version will tread pretty lightly through those years.
