I think it’s really important that extremely rich and highly successful comics use their public standing to promote the work of other extremely rich and highly successful comics. Especially when they’re dead.

Agreed, every bit as good as Breaking Bad and better than Mad Men

Yes all rationale people are too busy talking about Benghazi to bother with Russian meddling

Agreed, what she’s saying isn’t the worst thing in the world in and of itself—it’s the kind of dumbass joke/insight that the designated office moron says when everybody’s around the water cooler, and if you’re open-minded or just don’t have the time to get mad at every stupid thing, you laugh politely and say, “You …

I remember loving “Speedy Marie.”

I got a fresh-ish copy of Aerosmith’s Rocks on LP. It’s fine, almost great but not. Also enjoying The Beta Band’s The Three E.P.’s and M. Geddes Gengras’s Ishi.

I met this guy when I was little, behind this faded billboard on the edge of town, near the woods. His hair was more gray than bright red when I met him, and when I asked what happened to his funny red nose he said he lost it. Not as nice as I was hoping, though I will say he was very generous with the bottle of…

Wow, first Man of the Woods and now this. It’s like everything’s coming up me, if the recent critical failures of musicians whose popularity I don’t agree with actually helped me in some way. Does anyone know if Kanye has a new album coming out?

Her father really Bugs me

Wes Anderson gives me a pain in the ass and I don’t think I’ve seen anything of his since The Darjeeling Limited, but the trailer for this movie looked really good. But darn it, that diorama-like photo in the middle of this review is giving me a pain in the ass again. I find his symmetries arch and painfully obvious,…

No doubt you envisioned a “Cleanup In Aisle 4!” joke in the trailer

It’s interesting because it’s a different way of hearing how a song might be similar to another song. Now, to my lily-white western ears, it’s easy to identify how, say, the Flaming Lips “Fight Test” was similar to Cat Stevens’ “Father and Son” because duh, the melodies were the exact same. But this suit is about the…

I wholly agree. Ed Harris’s not knowing WTF is going on in the shows second season bodes ill. The last time I heard about someone so heavily involved not knowing what’s going on plot-wise was during the rollout of The Matrix Reloaded.

That’s a good point. The comedy comes out in the scene in a way that Ellis’s description does not. But I remember Harron taking some flak, when the movie first came out, for her apparently going for ambiguity as to whether Patrick really is a killer or just some sociopathic Walter Mitty. As sure-footed as most of the…

and yet it keeps getting Foysted upon us

It’s about time we had a Nixon in politics

Steven Segal stays out of the U.S. for the rest of his life and this is unfortunate?

The plaintiffs should put him on the witness stand, just to see if he Songs from the Crystal Caves.

Uhh Jack White couldn’t hum that solo

Any excuse I can get to pull this one out (the mayhem starts at 1:23):
