    Chris Brown, while black, is actually a singer, and not a rapper.

    This is great news for Conan O'Brien.

    Well this is clearly a case of 'too much voltage at the bottom of the ticket.'

    Didn't PT Anderson just direct one of Fiona Apple's music videos though? If they are all good, why wouldn't Jon Brion be all good too

    "C.K. is an auteur—as superbly defined by Andrew Sarris, some 50-odd years ago" Well at least now I know why I find Dowd such a bore…he's a Sarrisite. Auteurism is one of the more intellectually empty ideas to arise in film criticism, and a total perversion of Truffaut's "la politique des Auteurs."

    I saw a headline on some stupid aggregator site recently that perfectly sums up his style of humor - "Bill Maher: Chris Christie scandal like Miley Cyrus" hi-larious, right?

    Cut out the pandering pointless voiceover, and Beasts of the Southern Wild would've been twice as good.

    Interconnectivity… Synergy… Synchronicity… Denatta Mondatta…The Dream of the Blue Turtles…Simon and Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits…

    But who lives to infinity?

    I'm not sure that last claim is strictly true, mathematically speaking.

    There's this thing called torrents that you should probably check out.

    Ask Thomas Pynchon

    "Close study of Wayne’s World 2 or Addams Family Values or even Sister Act 2 " but but why

    Shouldn't they hire an actor known for his dramatic work in keeping with the logic of the original? How about Michael Shannon?

    The Beatles
    Paul Simon
