The A.V. Club
Nothing but a lot of technical jargon and partisan rhetoric and-arghhh, agghhhh! Get off me, Mr. President!

*Lurks, applies cooling mud to body*

They are completely different formats, but Poltergeist really pioneered the the Paranormal Activity construct of 'weird event in a suburban home begins innocuously and spirals into insanity'. It seems kind of ahead if it's time at this point. Also, Arrow is ameeezing.

After spending three weeks in Canada with extremely limited internet access, I've got almost nothing. That being said, eh, Canada-as always-seems very pleasant and I fully plan on seeking asylum there should Donald Trump become President. Over the next year I'll try and learn whatever a 'bag of milk' is, just as a…

So, Gwen Stefani was kind of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl before the term had been coined, right? One of the seemingly coolest women on Earth hanging out and willing to indulge and sing with the kind of Anaheim townies who would form a ska band? I do think it's a little odd that the article mentions No Doubt being seen as…

It's not Duff, Homer, it's…uh, Dank!

Goddangit, Bobby…

I will say, I did like the idea of the fact that the National Guard-now being largely filled with OIF/OEF veterans-was largely open to treating the civilian population poorly. At the beginning of the episode we see how easy it is for them to start dehumanizing their fellow citizens, the same way they did when…

I've been conditioned to think that people named Travis and Madison are always under the age of 30, so I constantly think they are the kids. Seriously, unless Nick and Alicia are re-named Bentley and Kaelynn, I'm going to think the parents are the children, people…

I suppose one way to tie this into the original show would be to explore the ways different areas of the country or world adapt to this problem. I think it'd be interesting if we see that the West Coast becomes some kind of military dictatorship, or at least contains the zombie problem, while hearing whispers of the…

It would have been a lot more interesting if TWD had explored this possibility, or at least made Woodbury more of a 'secluded town learning to cope with the collapse of civilization and possibly descending into facsism.' How do people raised in society adapt to the end of it, and how do future generations-free of…

I recently watched the ESPN 30 For 30 on the Boston College points shaving scandal, which was orchestrated by Henry Hill, and it's kind of a nice bookend to Goodfellas, in that you get to see what a tremendously sleazy guy the really Henry Hill was. There is the self-mythologizing Henry Hill of the Copa steadicam…

I really enjoyed Edge of Tomorrow, and I really wish it had found more success. I liked the influence of Starship Troopers and Joe Haldemann's The Forever War, and of course the deconstruction of action star Tom Cruise as he suffers through his own version of Groundhog Day/D-Day. Frankly, I'd rather see a fairly…

NY Mets 2015 NL East Champions! NY Mets 2015 NL East Champions!!!

A good trailer should be like a good pre-dinner spread, just enough the whet the appetite for the film. I remember seeing the preview for Eternal Sunshine in 2002 and thinking, "What in the hell is that about…I've got to see it." In my lifetime, however, I don't think anything will match the anticipation for the Star…

Requisite 90% of the game is mental, the other half is cocaine…

Pixies - Gigantic
Bully - Trying
No Doubt - Sunday Morning
The Clash - I Fought the Law
The Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent
The Rolling Stones - Under My Thumb
Lou Reed - Wagon Wheel

It gives me great joy that Ted Cruz is someone so deeply unlikeable that he makes the act of hating the President unpalatable even to conservative lunatics.

Pre-packaged Star Wars figures still in their display boxes? Are those the limited edition action figures?…There's Luke, and Yak Face! And my favorite, RX-7 Medical Droid! They're all here!

Pardon?
