The twist? “Screw you, Canadians! Hahahahahaha!”

Jesus fucking christ, did you have to say that was 3rd grade for you?!? I was in my early 20s. Now I feel fucking ancient.

Just another reason why when anyone yells that physical media is dead I point of that you still get the absolute best, unaltered picture from a Blu-ray.  

Why would a filmmaker make a filmmaking decision based on what an audience watching the movie on TV would want?

There’s a moment in the video of their final concert, during the amazing end of Grace, Too, where Downie lets out these screams and wails of emotion. On that night, he was howling, and he wound up throwing down the microphone and covering his face with his hands. If you watch the video, you can see the tears on his…

One of many great lines, hits it right on the head.

I was introduced to them by a friend who took me to a show probably eight years ago. I’d heard a song or two, but wasn’t prepared for a wall-to-wall show of nothing but amazing music. It’s tough to get that into a set of songs consisting almost entirely of stuff you’ve never heard before. Anyway, since then my…

I feel it’s worth mentioning, as it’s a good example of how well-respected Gord was across the political spectrum, and also how differently things are done, here in Canada: this article has a video of over 6 minutes, of Members of Parliament in our House of Commons taking time this morning to speak in tribute to Gord,…

I think my favorite Hip song is Fireworks, which probably has the most Canadian falling in love lyrics ever:

I’m working up to playing “Ahead By a Century”, because I know I’m going to lose it before the end of the song, probably at “No dress rehearsals, this is our life”.

A couple of things to share:

Fuck. We knew it was coming, but it doesn’t sting any less. I don’t think a single day has gone by in my life in the last 20 years that I haven’t heard at least one Hip song. They’ve been a staple on my iPod/iPhone whatever since I’ve owned one. Before that, there was always at least one CD of theirs on the changer in…

I cried this morning listening to Emperor Penguin, which I’ve always considered one of the best final tracks.

Finally saw “Baby Driver” a few days ago. Loved it, although my friend pointed out some ridiculous character motivations like [SPOILERS] Kevin Spacey suddenly deciding “hey, this kid is worth dying for” after threatening the lives of everyone he cared about. I figured it all fit with Wright’s love affair with…

I come here for the sparkling commentary. I stay for the never-ending Kinja burns. Kinja is terrible. The new AV Club layout is an absolute disaster.

Well maybe if the theaters hadn’t switched to Kinja then people would still show up.

Also, they’ve renamed it Disney Finite.
