To give you a totally-serious-yet-nerdy answer, look at the the Morrison/Quitely comic series All-Star Superman. In the collected edition, Quitely talks about how the biggest aspect of the Clark Kent disguise is merely posture. "Superman" has that "heroic" posture, whereas "Clark" shlubs and slumps his way through

Olyphant was part of the team that decided to end Justified at a high point, so I doubt he's depressed about it. He's gone on to some great roles since ("Tim Olyphant" in The Grinder and as one of the leads in The Santa Clarita Diet).

Oddly enough, although I don't think the blurb is really accurate, I have sold a few people on the show by saying, "You like Dirty Harry? You'll like Justified."

I personally find it a quick and "easy" read, but I'm used to juggling multiple narratives and motivations simultaneously. However, a friend of mine found it more useful to read each of the narratives separately from cover to cover.

I had the privilege of seeing Yoko Kanno's Piano Me performance at Otakon 2013, where she opened with "Tank!" Instant standing ovation.

Intentionally difficult: House Of Leaves. "It's a book about a book about a film that might not exist about a house that cannot possibly exist because it's bigger on the inside than on the outside." "Oh like a TARDIS?" "*sigh* Yeah I guess if a TARDIS was full of existential dread rather than sonic screwdrivers."

I'd actually be down for going to a theme park and baking. Part of the reason I dislike theme parks is that it feels like I'm not getting anything done, so being productive on vacation is like my favorite thing.

I'd never heard of it before your post. Holy crap that was amazing.

Xanadu had a great soundtrack. I actually owned the dual LP and was still playing it as recently as 1992 in my bedroom on my little turntable. ELO doesn't get enough credit for putting out a solid disco record a year after disco died.

Did Fallon continually break throughout his speech?

Here's to hoping that Get Shorty is not only a good show, but also one that gets Dutch's tone and rhythms right. I miss Justified so much.

Oh man, have you followed why Annie Decatur/Poe hasn't really been heard from since the early 2000's? It's basically because of some fuckery by the rich oil guy behind Monuments Men.

Deadmau5 had a residency in Vegas, so he's now the Celine Dion of EDM, I suppose. :)

The MK Theme was both the zenith and nadir for The Lords Of Acid's Praga Khan. It was ubiquitous at every mid-90s frat party that wanted to be a rave (or at least attract raver girls). I have fond memories of dancing on top of speakers to that track, fully cognizant of how utterly ridiculous this piece of "music"

One of the greatest character actors of the last 50 years. So very good in everything he does. I'm very happy to see this interview - more like this, please!

Glad to see the love for Alison Krauss and the Indigo Girls - but why is it that everyone always cites their first album as their best? I'd argue that they hit their peak with Rites Of Passage. "Ghost" is the most heartbreaking song I know (whenever I get dumped, I literally cannot listen to it for at least a year

So Bumblebee will now sound like Bobby Hill. I'm completely fine with this, provided that we get an Optimus Hank Hill.

20+ years later, Kevin Moore's keyboard work (including two blistering solos on top of some mind-blowing dual leads with Petrucci) on the track "Take The Time" still makes me stop and wonder how something so awesome can exist. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I just saw 808 State at Moogfest. I thought they were the roadies setting up the next act at the Armory until the lights dimmed and their set started.
