I'd put The Clash ahead of The Stooges, but on par with some of Iggy's solo stuff. Lust For Life is a London Calling caliber album.

No, he actually looks a bit like Daniel Handler. People are objecting because Snicket is a tragic, melancholy, self-deprecating, lost sort of character, and Warburton's typical John Wayne style seems unsuited to portraying that.

That album still has my favorite version of "Louie, Louie". "And now, the news…BWA DA DUM. BWA DA, BRA DU DUM. BWADADA DA DA DUM."

Better than most them bands. Let's call them and The Clash even.

He must have been related to that member of the AMPAS a few years ago who said they weren't voting for Whiplash for best picture because "It's a film about abuse."

I mean, I'm assuming each episode will be a solid hour, and some episodes will cover two books. Which baffles me, because one of the lessons these people should have learned from the film is "Oh, if you shove multiple books with three-act structures together by simply removing the very end of one and jumping straight…

Wait, eight episodes? For a thirteen-book series? That doesn't bode particularly well.

I know; spending so much time on the internet has made me a bit paranoid about that sort of thing. This site is a very polite, reasonable island of discourse among a stormy sea of thousands upon thousands of people who really, truly, personally hate everybody who disagrees with them. Tends to make you a bit…

True enough. My only point was that I know you weren't fond of a lot of the previous season's "Navel-gazing", as you might put it, and I was, and I was attempting to shake hands over that instead of fighting about it. I know that you tend to be better than that, but I'm not always, so this was as much for me as for…

Hey, I won't judge you for your dislike of Moynihan if you don't judge me for my enjoyment of Moynihan, deal?

Yeah, that's the frustrating thing about living in the Golden Age of children's cartoons: the shows are fantastic, which means they appeal to adults, which means adults end up being subjected to the airing schedules of companies who's motto for scheduling seems to be "Who gives a shit when it airs? Only kids watch it,…

Cartoon Network
This pretty much airs whenever, then?

Man, a Moynihan episode set inside Maja's head showing us the struggle between her evil ways and APTWE's kind influence is something I really, really need in my life.

A bit, yeah. This is Finn at his best, which makes for a nice mirror-image of all but the end of "Breezy", which is Finn at his worst.

I feel ya. I never thought Finn and Phoebe had a chance, so I was a bit less invested in their relationship. "Red Throne" left me exited to see what else they could do with her character now that she wasn't attached to Finn, and I was rewarded with "The Cooler", one of my favorite episodes.

Woo! And I thought I was gonna have to throw down!

That makes sense. Luckily for us, getting his arm ripped off gave us "Breezy", which resolved that arc rather beautifully.

Fair enough, I suppose. I still like that episode, but I'm not going to go to war over it. I like that Finn deals with things in hurdles: just because he conquered the dungeon train, doesn't mean he's totally cool with Flame Princess, same as how just because he gets his arm back in "Breezy", doesn't mean he's fully…

I mean, this episode alone showed us that Maja and APTWA are still together and that the little Pikmin dudes still live at the treehouse, called back to Finn's earlier failed relationships, made a character arc out of the fact that we first saw Huntress Wizard in the woods and then later in Wizard City, based part of…

"I know this show ain't huge into continuity or anything.."
Wha?
