Eye is the main reason I remember this soundtrack too. The advertised premiere of the song on KROQ in Los Angeles is probably the only time I've actually tuned in to terrestrial radio at a specific time to hear a broadcast.

I see what you're saying, but it sounds like an ingenious idea to me, especially after the glorious Far Cry 3 set the bar for a tropical setting insanely high. And I don't see why it would necessarily be a political statement. The whole thing kind of reminds me of the original Children of the Corn short story, with…

Billy Corgan - Geek U.S.A.

Out of all the musician deaths since late 2015, I think this one has hit me the hardest, if only out of sheer surprise. I just can't believe it.

That's just about my least favorite song on that album, and I still think it's a great song. That's how good Superunknown is. Hard to pick a favorite from the album, but My Wave is so utterly perfect and primal with that monster three chord riff in 5/4 time. Gives me shivers.

That was pretty bold of IV to draw a line in the sand like that, and I have to say that I agree with him.

Really? I would hope that the laws already in place boil down to something like "motor vehicles on public streets and highways must at all times be operated by licensed drivers of sound mind and body." I guess there could be a loophole in there that admits AI, but surely I would be breaking some kind of law if I…

Yeah, I don't understand what the big deal is. I mean, even if the technology did work as well as a human driver, it's not like driverless cars are even close to being legal are they?

and written by John Milius? How have I not heard of this before?

Yes, it's weird how even many SP fans don't know about Drown. One reason it got lost in the shuffle at the time is that Billy Corgan was at his peak, and as good as Drown is, nearly every song on Siamese Dream (which was released about 1 year later I think) is as good or even better.

It's no Martyrs, but it's still pretty damn good. The French know how to do gore, for sure. On the other hand, if you want to really be scared, then you have to go with the Japanese classics (The Ring, Pulse, The Grudge, etc.)

I see lots of extreme and underground horror, so I'm pretty inured to violence. Occasionally though I do have to avert my eyes from the screen. A recent one where I had to look away was Kill List (2011). The torture scene with the hammer in that is possibly the most brutal and graphic thing I've ever seen.

I suppose it's a masterpiece of mood and design, but Ebert is spot on about the plot. There really is remarkably little momentum or even plot to speak of in the movie, and it makes it a very hard movie for me to enjoy. It almost seems like 2/3 of the movie is people sitting around brooding in dimly lit rooms, or…

If this is supposed to be some kind of enforceable contract, they might want to correct the 252 spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors that I count. (OK, I admit I extrapolated that number based on the number of errors in the first paragraph alone.)

It was called Rabbits, and it's even weirder than you might expect a David Lynch sitcom to be.

The reveal at the end of Best of Both Worlds Part 1 with Picard intoning "I AM LOCUTUS OF BORG" is more or less the greatest moment in television history.

For me, "guys" is the generic term for a group of mixed gender, but somebody recently gave me shit for that. But what would the alternative be in this example? "Keep on partying, people" or "Keep on partying, everyone?" Those both sound infinitely more lame to me.

I'm severely late to the party as always, but I've been really digging Divinity: Original Sin, which didn't get much attention here at the AV Club as I recall. It's an ambitious indie game that's essentially Diablo except with turn-based combat instead of constant mindless hacking and slashing. It has a perfect…

Pong.

It looks like some kind of rejected Star Trek font.
