It's not. Even putting aside the fact the majority of my extended family lives there, OH GOD IT'S NOT.

Yeah, but the difference there is that Tyler Perry is a hack who can't write, direct, or act to save his life. Sure, the racial and sexual politics in his films and TV shows are highly questionable, but I think that's more of an issue of 'complete lack of talent' rather than malicious intent.

You missed 'Zoo Or False', 'The Bro-Mitzvah', 'The Rough Patch', and 'Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap'.

1.) The Pineapple Incident
2.) Slap Bet
3.) The Chain Of Screaming
4.) Intervention
5.) Of Course
6.) Last Words
7.) Symphony of Illumination
8.) The Time Travellers
9.) Unpause (presuming the finale doesn't blow me out of the water).

To say nothing of Gardevoir…

I'm noticing a lack of a Step Brothers ranking here (that's the collaboration between The Alchemist & Evidence, with features from Styles P, Action Bronson, and more) for the debut album Lord Steppington, and that's just unacceptable. Fair warning: it's awesome, in a sly, understated sort of way, with some phenomenal…

See, here's the thing. If the creators of House of Cards remember the later seasons of the UK version, they'll remember that that show had the monarchy in which to struggle with, a power that was outside of his control. The US doesn't have this, so they should take it in the next best possible direction: have Frank go…

I'm just hoping you at least mention Chumbawamba's 'Tubthumping' when you cover 1997. A band that were anarcho-punk veterans fifteen years in the industry when they got their massive hit (a 'sell-out' that really was anything but), and when it came off an album as brutally subversive as that one was, I'd be interested…

That's yet another one of the reasons why I can't stand the music coverage on this site - because nobody talks about country music and the incredibly turbulent few years it's been having.

Well, it was a Nick Cave song, you can't exactly argue with their response.

To some extent, I don't think it really matters if Jessa's all that smart (frankly, I don't think she is) - she presents the image of a girl who is smarter/more worldly than most, and that's attractive… that is, until people manage to pierce the veil and discover more about her and realize just how myopic,…

I was thinking he was trying to hide that 1986 'We Are The World' album. Lord knows I would.

People are friends with people like Jessa because to them, Jessa is interesting, at least on the surface. She's well-traveled, intelligent, would probably be entertaining to talk to, and knows enough people to connect them with all manner of scenes and things they've never done before.

Oh, I dunno about that. I'd argue Pain & Gain and Bad Boys II have a certain value as trashy art, grotesque nihilistic pieces that revel in human misery, all with the technical proficiency to show it all blow up in spectacular fashion. And as a director, he's at least competent at framing and sketching certain types…

Uh, TIE Fighter, Star Wars Rebellion, Knights of the Old Republic, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, and Republic Commando (that game is so much better than it should be) would like to have words with you.

Lol, my opinion on the latter case is that Girls wants to be seen as deeply insightful as Seinfeld was at its peak - when in reality, that show's insight was born of its creative minds having deeply nihilistic views of humanity and creating humour out of simply mining laughs from the inane crap its characters said and…

I've had this argument with a friend of mine, and really, how much DNA Girls shares with It's Always Sunny comes down to how much you believe the former is self-aware of how shallow and awful the majority of the main cast is. If you can buy into that self-awareness, the show has a fair amount in common with It's…

Oh agreed, the flavour is great… which is one of the things that has kind of pushed me away from magic in the past few years, simply that the flavour and fluff just aren't as strong as they used to be. The recreation of Phyrexia over Mirrodin is intriguing, to be sure, but outside of Innistrad (which was built from…

The Dark, I agree with you, but Fallen Empires has Hymn To Tourach, and that card is a staple of mono-black control and anyone attempting to field Necrodecks.

Here's the truly ugly thing about the whole 'Royals is racist' bullshit: to accept the argument's premise, it's rooted in the genuinely offensive belief that it's inherently a trait of hip-hop culture (more specifically black hip-hop culture) to wallow in shallow materialism.
