The City of Townsville… Watch THIS!

Given the talent involved, I fully expect a novel twist and "subversive" take on the whole uber-hero mythos. It seems they're going for a relative insignificance angle. We'll see, I guess. They're not going to show all their cards now, and i'm just being knee jerk. There should be a special term for knee jerk…

Another chosen one…yay.

Have fun being infiltrated by the FBI and labeled a left-wing terror group on Fox News. For the gun nuts (by which I mean a specific class of gun enthusiast/rights advocate), it is a partisan political issue. I thought about starting my own lefty gun club too actually, partly for fun and partly to see how the right…

Some other notable metal records that are mostly better than the considerably good Deafheaven release (that non-metal people who like them might also like):

In much the same way music critics are allowed their opinions, readers are allowed to shit one them. Subjectivity is a two-way street.

Wow, the AV Club didn't have to dig too deep for this list, did they? The pool of candidates are Things Marketed To Our Demographic This Year and Sent to Us. Which is fair, I guess.

Fair enough.

Well not from me or any other half-intelligent American. Maybe a lot of flag-waving idiots.

Well to be fair, indie kids were falling over themselves a few months ago over the original band called Death because PUNK ROCK. So it's not like it's just metal. Personally, I don't think "Death" sounds particularly evil. It's pretty pervasive and mundane actually.

Canada occupies a global region. Yes, it's a country too.

Nah, the song sucks by all objective metrics. I'm sure the same observation has been made by practitioners of every genre of popular music. Barenaked Ladies just suck, and there's just not much you can do about it.

Yeah, it was more remarkable for its voice than actual chops. In the end of the day, most of the music is not a whole hell of a lot more dynamic than generic grind crust/hardcore 7 inches. It was just interesting because they brought an angry feminist voice to it. It doesn't really hold up. I think the work the Riot…

He's a resident of London, he's a Londoner.

I would have included Upright Citizens Brigade too. Their show was and remains very under-appreciated.

Needs the first three seasons of Miami Vice. I mean, if you're gonna have Hill Street Blues and Wiseguy, Miami Vice is kind of a no-brainer. Good call on Black Books, Spaced and The Thick of It and most other shows listed here.

Well it does have his trademark dolly shot, so there is that.

Yes, and that makes things understandable. Even the SCUM Manifesto is understandable in its social context. But that doesn't mean that the ideas that come out of it should be entertained because their origins in oppression. There are lots of ideas rooted in their historical time and social/cultural context, but that…

I don't get to decide what's offensive to them. I do however reserve the right to think that what they're saying is dumb or misguided (and by "them" I don't mean all women, I mean the women making the claim). There is this argument that people make that is completely accurate (an artist/whatever has the right to…

What's up with the Lars von Trier trolls trying so hard? None of you have any clue whether the film is good or not and so should probably stop trying so hard with the philistine routine.
