YEAH, SHOW US YOUR LIST

Ehhh, this is where I'll differ with you. My love for Supertramp far preceded my love for Paul Thomas Anderson, and those songs are definitely enjoyable on their own merits (especially "Goodbye Stranger").

Yeah, the whole Scientology angle really did get a lot of people excited about something that's completely just a backdrop to what the movie is actually about. It would be like people being really hyped to see There Will Be Blood because "oh man, this movie is going to expose the crooked business dealings that founded…

I can remember the last movie I was this excited for, because it was The Master.

I can't speak to It's Such a Beautiful Day, but I'd say The Master is better than Holy Motors.

Hard Eight (or Sydney, if you're a pedantic PTA supernerd like I am) is an incredible film. And Phillip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, and What's-Her-Name Paltrow do all give unbelievable performances in it. I love it as well.

Huh? If anything, the third act of Boogie Nights elevates the film.

I feel like if anyone could have taken a decent swing at making that work, it's Laurie Anderson.

MOTTO PANUKEIKU. MOTTO PANUKEIKU. MOTTO PANUKEIKU.

"Underwhelming" is exactly the word I would have used to describe it after first seeing it in theaters. It's just so claustrophobic, understated, and thematically opaque throughout that it really asks quite a lot on the part of the viewer to remain invested from beginning to end. For that reason alone, I can't say…

I don't think your ranking is that contrarian. A lot of the people I know (mostly film nerds—I went to film school) would agree with you that The Master wasn't great. A couple of my friends outright hate it.

The Paul Thomas Anderson movie quality scale only goes from "pretty goddamn great" to "surely one of the greatest works in cinema history". I couldn't be more excited for this.

I love the Elephant 6 collective (specifically Neutral Milk, The Apples, and Olivia Tremor Control), and I love this song (and Elliott's cover), but I never really got into this entire album. I listened to it all the way through once and then sort of forgot about it.

I'm sorry, A.V. Club commenters, but I just watched the YouTube clip of this interview and Lena Dunham is simply a very charming person. Going forward, I'm all for her, her television show, and her weird mushroom hair.

Everything from The Dirt of Luck is incredible. One of the best rock albums ever recorded.

The Dirt of Luck is probably the most under-celebrated album of the 90's. Helium's output should be held in much higher esteem than it is.

Agreed. The season's biggest problems are that the first three or four episodes simply aren't very good, and a lot of the jokes throughout the season straight up aren't funny (which is a pretty serious problem for a comedy). But the downer endings of episodes 7 and 8 do reveal an admirable, hidden ambition to play for…

Hey, me too!

I misread the title as "St. Vincent to fill in for Seth Meyers on Late Night With Seth Meyers", which would have been pretty exciting.
