You mean "Athter Earth"

I hope they manage to get Bill Pullman back, he's been a sci-fi legend since Aliens!

Your point about Scream brings up an interesting question: Is an actual parody game possible? Certainly there have been games with elements of parody, such as No More Heroes, but I don't think that makes it a parody game. The parody in that game came entirely in the form of narrative, and while it was funny it had…

Buttholes.

There are a ton of versions and it is such a major song in American folk culture that there are been as many versions playing with it (eg, Nina Simone, the abomination this article focuses on) as doing it straight. This version from 1980 is pretty close to the line dance feel, but cuts out a lot of the lyrics:

That as sort of my thought: The Berlin Trilogy was about exorcising himself, which is part of the reason why it is (in my view) indisputably his artistic high point.

Are you certain you aren't from an alternate universe?

If you don't like cheesy 80s pop you won't like Dancing in the Street, but if you do it is one of the better examples of it. And the music video is hilarious.

Was the Berlin Trilogy under the Thin White Duke? I was sort of under the impression that the Duke was only Station to Station and (to an extent) Young Americans, and the Berlin Trilogy is its own thing.

Sure, I can agree that this is more a problem with mainstream than genre publications, but I get the sense that even when geared towards rap fans Nas is "the guy who made Illmatic" first and "the guy who had a solid twenty year career after" second.

His beats can be bad but Nas on a bad day is a better lyricist than almost everyone else at their best.

I thought you died in the bunker, Hitler!

I kind of wish that it was possible to talk about Nas without Illmatic. Granted he hasn't topped it, but neither has anybody else, and at this point he has a very respectable career without it. He would surely be considered one of the greats even without his debut, but his career is always framed as a disappointment.…

Hermione's quest is never portrayed as anything but laughable, though, even to the point where the acronym for the movement is SPEW—that was a moment when Rowling sat down and thought "Hmm, I need to come up with a name for this anti-slavery movement that will have a silly acronym". And more to the point, the House…

The AV Club

Harry Potter is low hanging fruit when it comes to fanwankery nitpicking, but it is still fun. The universe is pretty lighthearted, and by and large it is easy to pick holes without resorting to Unfortunate Implications.

Just because you don't read the stories doesn't mean they aren't there.

Pshaw.

English actors are great about being frank. When someone asked Olivier why he was in Clash of the Titans he said "Money dear boy!"

My Darling Clementine was fantastic, I actually think his performance there is better than as Tom Joad in Grapes of Wrath. I personally think Fonda may have been the best actor of the Golden Age Hollywood stars, and choosing which performance he deserved an award for—Young Lincoln? Fail Safe? Ox-Bow Incident?—is…
