I think my big issues with this film come down explicitly on direction - namely that Hooper has no idea how to frame shots to have any sort of grandeur, with only a few exceptions ('Who Am I', 'Do You Hear The People Sing', 'Red and Black'), particularly during the uncomfortable close-ups during the solos. I get the…

The mix for 2010 sucked because, all things considered, 2010 was a terrible year for the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The majority of the tracks were club dance songs about dancing to club songs at clubs, and most of them didn't have the personality to be anything all that interesting or special.

Huh, AV Club got precisely one of my top five favourite albums this year, and it's 'Channel Orange'. And while I can understand the lack of Ke$ha's 'Warrior' (my favourite pop album of the year, hands down, but I bow to few in my love for Ke$ha), it's a little less excusable that there's no 'Uncaged' by the Zac Brown…

And yet none of them are worse than Chris Brown's 'Fortune'. Fuck that piece of shit.

And particularly considering the entire album is pretty much entirely filler tracks that would have been cut from better Green Day albums, I'm honestly baffled why anyone thought this warranted a commercial release. Hell, Green Day's back catalogue is available, and considering the best songs of Tre! are pretty much…

While I agree with the bad usage of the word 'hater', I can't deny that this album is easily my favourite pop album of the year, and a contender (at least in my books) for best album of the year. In a year where so much pop music is so glassy and icy and completely without energy or anything interesting to say, Ke$ha…

I agree with most of the comments I've seen, particularly around Rickman, Segel, Stewart, Colbert, and Tom Hanks, but you know who I hope never has that massive public breakdown?

Eh, if we 're pulling long songs from Porcupine Tree, 'Hatesong' and 'Russia On Ice' both beat 'Anesthetize' for me.

Probably because West Edmonton Mall didn't want ANY of them near the pirate ship and the seals.

Oh, completely agree - the problem is that the encouragement Taylor gives is to date guys she knows are bad for her beforehand, and that's where I see the problem.
