So I purchased a box set of Bruce Springsteen's first 7 albums this weekend. I had only ever owned Born in the USA, Nebraska, and The River (on cassette and vinyl!), so a lot of this stuff was going to be new to me. Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town definitely lived up to the considerable hype, and The

I wasn't tremendously interested in DC Comics' "Catwoman" series but Adam Hughes' cover illustrations were deliriously fun and cheesecakey. One in particular, issue #51, from 2006, featured the character in a prison "mug shot" that I couldn't stop staring at.

I agree with Radiohead. The only thing I like from them, "Creep", just so happens to be the song that they've distanced themselves from. (That should be another AV Club Topic: what thing do you like more than the people who produced it?)

Remains of the Day is an absolutely fantastic movie.

The way they treated Ann Curry was the worst.

I'm pretty sure Adrian Martinez was in a very funny ESPN commercial with Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic. And as others have said, great list.

My wife and I used to watch this regularly when it aired the first time. Elliott had already developed this persona on the Letterman show in the decade prior to Get A Life, so it was a known quantity going in. I really loved it.

What a freaking fantastic song.

Seriously.

I was hoping someone would figure out a way to inexplicably talk about the New England Patriots even though this article has nothing to do with any of that.

I got a copy of Wiseguy from my local library a few years after watching the film. The only copy they had was a large print version. It's true that the book was rather flat, as though the subject (Hill) and the writer (Pileggi) were both unequipped to do a lot of introspection or to make some larger points. Whereas

I think your explanation places you on the spectrum….

"Harris' perk is less charming than grim" — the article is littered with strange little phrases like that. Annoying.

Ah, sitcoms. I remember an episode of another 90s show, Dharma and Greg, where Bob Dylan and his band are in the studio, and Dharma is also there, and it made zero sense. I don't even think they bothered to have it connect to the show's plot, it was just added on, because hey, it's Bob Dylan and who doesn't want to

I used to watch Mr. Ed re-runs when I was little, and I commented to my mom that it was really cool that a horse could actually talk. She immediately said "don't be silly, the stupid horse is chewing a carrot so it looks like he's talking", and I was devastated. It was just like the scene when Pee Wee Herman was

I'm tempted to respond in Stabler's angry voice. "You just love short hair, don't you, you piece of filth!"

The stunning Benson spent way too many years with an alarmingly short haircut. That's my only complaint about the SVU series.

The White Stripes' song, "Ball and Biscuit", knocked my head off. I thought greasy white boy blues was dead and gone until I heard that.

Who knew Sidney Poitier would have good-looking kids?

This is actually the only Tarantino film I've seen in a theater, and I attended with someone else who "got it" (my brother), so a good time was had by all. I thought QT's film was mostly "pretty girls talk a lot and then some bloody things happen really quick." But the musical scene I most remember from Death Proof
