Fair enough, but then the wager can never truly be settled unless all of the Fortune 500 CEOs explicitly go public with their sexualities.

You'd lose. There's only one openly gay CEO of a Fortune 500 company, Apple's Tim Cook. There are 10 Latinos. (That's still double the number of black CEOs, btw.)

Just about everything he said, I could word for word hear coming out of my own mouth. And then most of that could be recycled except change "Sublime" to "Jimmy Buffett" and "California" to "Florida" and you could multiply my hatred by 1000.

I'm an entertainment journalist and I literally had never heard of this show before this post. So congrats, 50 Cent's dick, on raising awareness of the show.

All of those plus She Wants Revenge, Editors and the Ting-Tings.

Mike Park is a goddamn hero. Great read.

Probably because Hughes had already used the Smiths' original in "Pretty in Pink."

Thus far on the weekend (and I'm counting Christmas Eve), it's been all repeat viewing, film-wise: A second trip to see "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" on the big screen, and at home, a spate of holiday movies — "Elf" "The Polar Express," "White Christmas" — while wrapping gifts and the annual marathon of "A Christmas…

There is no excuse for any version of this wretched, wretched song.

Green Lantern, Brad Bird. Please and thank you.

Watched the whole series yesterday. Brilliant.

Uh, you're aware that the site has to make money somehow, right? The writers presumably enjoy eating and having roofs over their heads as much as anyone else, and you aren't paying them, so someone has to.

I only watched two of these, both of which I enjoyed.

If we're talking "…relentlessly creepy films about a supernatural evil that can’t be stopped," wouldn't "Cabin in the Woods" apply? It certainly seems to fit the overall tone of the essay.

Or maybe he's just a pretentious prick hole.

Hey, clearly my opinions have no bearing on what they do. I wish them no ill will. Just saying I'm not interested. I've not listened to the new stuff, nor do I plan to, where I would have were the band intact.

To each his or her own. I'm happy for them, it's just not for me, and I think Kim is too integral to the sound to pretend it's remotely the same thing without her. Nothing against the other guys — as I said, I've seen Francis/Frank/Charles several times, including a mind-blowing solo electric performance that wasn't…

I was more thinking George Harrison, though I guess, as he and Kim Deal both play bass, I should have specifically said Paul McCartney.

If those three guys wanted to continue making music together under a different name, I'd have been supportive. I tend to refer to the current grouping as "the Pixels." Some bands are greater than the sum of their parts, but when you take away one part, it dispells the magic. Some members are just too key. Kim Deal is…

It's not the Pixies without Kim Deal. Thank goodness I saw them on the "Doolittle" anniversary tour, because barring running across them at a festival, I refuse to see them without her — and this is coming from someone who's seen Black Francis in various solo/"and the Catholics" iterations four times.
