Hair metal. So much misogyny and leering at women. Not to mention posturing and faux-masculinity and guitar wanking and all the other stupidity.

I grew up on Loring, and I had the same reaction.

Good points from Will Harris, William Hughes, and Zack Handlen.

I loved the performances in The Master, but not the movie so much. Perhaps a rewatch is in order.

"You think my name is Turk Turkleton?"

Remember when I said Colin Firth should narrative everything after Morgan Freeman dies? I've changed my mind - Sean O'Neal's written interpretation of Darius Rucker's singing should do it instead. Lack a wig crashin intooda shohhh-ah.

Andrew Keegan's religion sounds ridiculous…

I don't really think the Emmy's are all that broken. Sure up this new system with the panel, maybe incorporate a "New Drama" and "New Comedy" series. If Modern Family keeps winning, that sucks. But we could hardly expect the people affiliated with that show to have the dignity to withdraw from consideration a la John…

Generally, I concur. There are situations when I find them helpful, but I would happily do without in the name of the audience being treated like it isn't dumb as hell.

I fully expect there to be more, at some point. But they'll build to it.

Yep. I stopped watching the "next time on…" bits a few years ago. I have found that I enjoy going into the shows with little/no (depending on whether I read episode descriptions or not, usually on AV Club) knowledge of what's happening in the next episode.

I do think how they wrap up the season will be of tremendous import to the future of the show…but right now I'm completely enthralled.

Lt. Columbo.

"It's too close to Big Tasty! There will be marketplace confusion!"

I prefer the green. But I also prefer the blue to Pinkerton, so what do I know?

At one point, I would have used this spot to defend the Green Album. But I figure if Weezer ain't trying anymore, why should I?

SEX toilets.

Fine article, Mr. Teti. I, too, had disagreements with Donna's review, but I hadn't quite been able to figure out just what my disagreement was. You wrap it up rather neatly here. In general, I'm impressed with how BCS has managed to come together so quickly and with only the marginal connections to its predecessor. I…

That would be extremely disappointing.

I like the idea of reverting to childhood a bit, Laura. So I'll follow your lead and head for Sleepyside-on-Hudson, the setting for the Trixie Belden children's mystery series. With the genesis of the series in the 40s and 50s, the whole thing is grounded in traditional values (non-religious version) that normally…
