also, if the postal service did another album it would be infinitely more tolerable than whatever other bullshit ben gibbard is pulling these days

they never were? you can't blame that on lcd; the crazy hype was an outgrowth of a lot of things, but the primary problem was the dual fists of pitchfork and hypem, bridging out to blog culture and the music of the mid-00s in general all informing a sound that lcd embodied the best of almost by accident.

how the fuck is ratchet and clank (april, both the game and movie) not on this list

yeah, as someone who adores the form it's really annoying that the aesthetics of adult animation so often edges into "things you'd see in a high schooler's notebook, but animated." rick and morty was a notable omission of mine; the look in still is a little in the guy family but even then it's got great color design…

similarly, why do cartoons strictly for adults have to be ass ugly? this isn't abysmal (neither was king of the hill) but it's one of the least aesthetically offensive on a sliding scale that ends with shit like brickleberry. the only not awful looking current ones are bojack, MAYBE archer, and the venture brothers,…

that's not even the same thing. a controlled demolition he set up himself has nothing on a high velocity bunch of buckshot, at point blank, to the skull. his skin was still unscathed from the shotgun, anyway.

i actually love a lot of what abrams does and into darkness was garbage, so no, sorry

god he's abysmal

OH. ALSO. FUCK. OKAY. HOW THE FUCK DID EVERYONE UNDERSTAND BB-8? Nobody does that with R2-D2. It's all generalizations, like "yeah, R2" or "oh, come on, R2" but never full specific things unless C-3PO, an actual droid, is the one talking to him. That was weird.

like 5 people have said this and although i didn't have a HUGE issue with it it's pretty obvious why

said this elsewhere, but was i the only one a bit weirded out at how dynamically the movie was shot? not weird in an abrams context, but seeing those dramatic tilts and shot movement against the traditionally static star wars universe just felt really strange, especially with tics like the screen wipes still in place.

The Force Awakens is really great as a prequel to Episode 8 and genuinely pretty good as a movie, and if it has any weirdness (the riffing on A New Hope honestly didn't feel too bad, I was worried it was going to be beat-for-beat and it was kept to a minimum) it's honestly that it's shot way way too dynamically…
