Whoever wrote the Empire jingle, performed it, and Empire themselves for subjecting us to it eternally, should be tried for crimes against humanity.

And Randy Johnson killed birds. Never forget.

Sandy Koufax was the prototype.

I adore Royal Tenenbaums, but Moonrise Kingdom is my favorite. It’s an economical hour and a half long and tells a small, sweetly nostalgic story. The quirk that sometimes doesn’t work in his adult characters is transfered to children on the edge of puberty which is a time when they are often very mannered and self…

The Royal Tenenbaums is much considered quintessential. Bottle Rocket and Rushmore make for a great double feature if you’ve established you like this style. My personal favorite is Moonrise Kingdom, which I consider peak Anderson.

Along with Budapest (my personal favorite), The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore are generally considered his best. I’d also recommend checking out Bottle Rocket...not so much for its merits as a film, but because it was his first feature and as a budding fan you may enjoy seeing the director as he is developing his…

I will never understand the allure of an autograph either.

I seriously doubt it. Downtown, Carson or Inglewood, both of these teams are going to call themselves “Los Angeles” whatever their technical location.

To be fair, L.A. metro is so sprawling that almost nobody can tell where L.A. proper ends and all the other cities begin. Isn’t the Rams stadium going where Hollywood Park racetrack/casino used to be? I don’t remember that being all that difficult to get to.

I assume this is shade because the Chargers chose to play not in L.A. proper but in Carson, an inconveniently located suburb. Meanwhile the Rams are playing (temporarily) downtown at the Coliseum. I wonder if Garcetti’s public love of the Rams will die out once the team moves to its monstrosity in nearby (and not the…

I would be happy without the chargers so I guess I should move to LA.

Alex probably won’t want to write many more articles like this when he finds out I turned his article into a direct-to-video movie. Now excuse me while I write a scene for my current girlfriend, who will be listed in the credits as “topless commenter #3".

Today I learned that Rage Against The Machine, a good but not great pop rock band, is universally and passionately despised by regular commenters on the A.V. Club

Emma Stone released a statement saying she was “deeply hurt” by the comments.

This shit right here is so fucking stupid. If you think racism is dead, police across the country do a fantastic job and definitely don’t target people, or that voter suppression is an issue we still face today, then you’re a white supremacist. Not because you necessarily believe the white race is superior, but…

He’s out pretty late for a school night.

listen up franz, rex is doing his best. I’m tired of the elites talking smack about rex. he is successful and that is the line i will not cross. not talking about successful people such as rex ryan or dennis franz.

Yeah really confused. I thought CBS had used a tub of lens vasoline to protect the viewing public from the real horror.

The 49ers are incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful punter.

Saw this band a few months ago, thought they were great. I don’t know if this is just a recent thing about the LA music scene, but almost every LA band I’ve seen in the last year or so has been somewhere from pretty good to great. Cherry Glazerr, Death Valley Girls, Phoebe Bridgers, Steady Holiday... all impressive.
