Goosebumps and Animorphs were the defining book series of my young reader self. During the height of their popularity, I awaited each new entry with bated breath, buying them nearly immediately after release, and often finishing each book in one sitting.

Whit Stillman has a pilot in development!??!?!! Really looking forward to that one. Basically one of my favorite filmmakers ever.

Nah, I could choose all manner of Cary Grant pictures, from the famous to the obscure, but let's not make this harder than it has to be: the correct answer is always His Girl Friday.

The backing bands of black soul music during those days is untouchable. Stax/Volt, Muscle Shoals, Funk Brothers, the JB's….All impeccable musicianship and tight knit timing.

Eighth time? Did you stop watching for the last couple seasons or something? We passed double digits ages ago.

I can guarantee you it was intentional. Carter Bays has stated he was/is a big Bunheads fan.

The game looks heavily indebted to Eyvind Earle's backgrounds and designs for Sleeping Beauty. It's an interesting but nice touch.

If you're looking into weird Korean dramas, can I recommend "You Who Came From the Stars" starring the stunningly gorgeous Jun Ji-Hyun?

They could each perform the entirety of their SpeakerBoxxx/The Love Below contributions separately and barely be on stage together, and it would still be better than whatever the heck Arcade Fire is always trying to do.

Outkast. Man, are they are goddamn good. Man, is this goddamn tempting.

Stevie Wonder performed Songs in the Key of Life in its entirety on Saturday night for the first time. Early reports have it as phenomenal: http://www.latimes.com/ente…

I would actually pick Love Jones, but I'm probably among the wrong crowd to be suggesting that.

If they had a discussion for "Top Five Last Tracks On An Album" that track would be on my list. And it would have a good chance of being number 1.

Just off the top of my head: Noam Chomsky, Cornel West, Naomi Klein, Camille Paglia, Umberto Eco, Geoff Dyer, Zadie Smith, Salman Rushdie, Susan Faludi.

I think the obvious choice is Hello, Dolly! Although if they hurry they can probably get Easter Parade up by easter.

My feelings toward Hayley Atwell can best be described as "unrequited."

My choice as well. Link's Awakening is also surprisingly difficult, with some real head-scratching dungeons that are as satisfying to beat as anything in Zelda.

I consider it one of the better romance/ romantic comedies of the 90's—probably even better than the Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan type knockoffs from that era, and definitely better than any of the ridiculous Nicolas Spark adaptations last decade threw at us.

Is love so fragile
And the heart so hollow
Shatter with words, impossible to follow.
You're saying I'm fragile
I try not to be I search only
For something I can't see.
I have my own life,
and I am stronger than you know…

I've never understood how anyone could like Ramona. She's a mopey, emo, kill-joy— the kind of person I would totally use the cliche, "Why you gotta come all up in here with yo' negative energy" line on.
