I'm going to buck this trend of "singers" and suggest Kate Tempest just for something completely different.

Here you go!

You know what they say "Ford" stands for don't ya? Stands for "Fix it, again, Tony."

"It seems perfectly symmetrical."

Life is hard. Deal. With. It.

Or that people on twitter AV Club are generally narcissists trying to bring attention to themselves.

I've been enjoying the hell out of No Cities To Love this year and I haven't even bothered to tell my friends about it because sexism is a dead end (despite their complaints that there's "not much good stuff out lately").

"Sexist" and "asshat" sound like the least of his problems.

I'm not making any assumptions about what she might have said or how the band might have approached her. But I think it's unfair to implicitly blame her for the mix-up.

Not to suggest males wouldn't be subjected to the same request, but it might not be fair to assume the interviewer "clearly hadn't introduced herself".

But would the band have made the same request to a male interviewer who had not yet introduced himself? The issue isn't that sexism = rude assholes, it's about the assumptions made about others based purely on their apparent gender.

Given that most people are not reporters, if you see someone at a show with a notepad, it's safe to assume they're a reporter and not a sketch artist. The issue is whether or not the same assumption would have been made regarding a male in the same environment.

The obvious answer to Yes is "NO".

I'm not a big fan of The Remains of the Day either.

“That’s what you did, isn’t it, you son of a bitch?!”

Correction: Corey Feldman could use some money… which he won't get from Robert Rodriguez.

Steven Ogg's creepy locksmith ("Yo-LAN-Da!") ranks pretty high up on my list.

With only the very minor caveat that TV, while sometimes literary (as is the case with The Wire), is not technically literature.

Have we forgotten about Dexter already?

Youth have been finding ways to see movies without paying for them since the advent of theaters.
