We're Only in it for the Money actually didn't come out until 1968. Absolutely Free was Zappa's 1967 release.

I'm not specifically picking on Hyden here…
But when did the whole "Revolver is the Beatles' best album" trend come about? I remember seeing a VH1 list of the 100 Greatest Albums about 10 years ago where they named it #1, and I was really surprised by that. Ever since then, it seems like I always see that one as the…

I love Pet Sounds, but I still think people are batshit crazy whenever I hear people put the Beach Boys in the same league as the Beatles..

I was born in 1983, so maybe that explains how I was able to keep nu-metal out of my CD collection. The closest I ever came into direct contact with it was The Deftones, who at least had decent tunes. They were heavy, but still, you know, musical. The main albums I remember listening to in high school around this time…

I just rolled my eyes every time they went on about how brilliant Anton is. Dicking around with a sitar and dressing like it's 1967 doesn't make you a genius.

Ha. Yeah, I always thought Jerry Garcia's "Aw, bummer, man" reaction to the news really funny for some reason.

loudQUIETloud is a little uncomfortable. That movie makes it pretty obvious that none of the Pixies really enjoy being around each other. I remember Joey Santiago coming off as a reasonably normal guy, but yeah, the rest of them are pretty odd.

I left the movie hating both bands pretty equally. When everyone was drooling over Anton and calling him a genius, I had to hold myself back from screaming "NO HE ISN'T!" at my TV.

Also, as for Paul being a controlling dick, it was necessary for someone to take the wheel after Brian Epstein's death. John said that that was the beginning of Paul's control-freak ways, but I can't imagine who would have been a more suitable leader. John sure wasn't in any shape to lead the band at that point.…

I recently read that George was actually more annoyed with John's herion-induced apathy than Paul's bossiness. Honestly, the more I read about the Beatles, the less I like John as a human being.

There's a pretty horrific home invasion scene in Man Bites Dog that rivals the scene in Henry.

Actually, aside from a couple of scenes, it didn't freak me out all that much. I'd read so much about it being one of the scariest movies ever made that it might have set my expectations a little too high.

Ditto what TV Junior said.

I just still don't completely understand how it became trendy to passionately hate Kevin Smith as a person. Even if you hate his movies, he's always come across as a fairly good-natured guy who's more than willing to make fun of himself. I guess he's the first fat guy to make bad movies though, so he has that against…

Geez, that article might have a little more credibility if its writer didn't come across as the most bitter man on earth. Did Kevin Smith run over his dog?

It better be funny.
It seems like IFC is investing a lot into this, what with switching to a commercial format and all.

Ugh, Christ. Enough with the funny zombie movies already.
Seriously, isn't this well dry already?

That Sean Penn episode is exactly what I thought of when Downey made his comment about Gervais' "sinister" jokes. I'm willing to give Downey the benefit of a doubt, but I think Penn just goes out of his way to be most humorless and self-important man in Hollywood.

What was up with Tom Hanks?
Did anyone else notice that Tom Hanks looked like he was on the verge of tears in nearly every closeup shot?

It's good to see that Robert Downey Jr. is has joined Sean Penn in the Serious Actors Who Can't Take a Joke Club.
