Legitimate question: are they good and if so, any notable tracks I should seek out? I'm at work and need something to get me through the rest of the day but I dont want to actively commit just yet.

But I don't want to be a jerk and take away from the absolutely adorabilty in your daughter's choice for your wedding. She obviously loves your love and the happiness you and your spouse have for your family, and if JT amplifies that, all the more to you and him. Congratulations.

Can't Stop the Feeling was a crushing blow for me. the pandering was almost insulting considering how much respect I had for him and banking on how he really works on his music/sound. But I chalked it up to his fatherhood and seemingly found happiness in marriage, life, and wellbeing. In other words, he went the way…

I can see that. When I think of his work, i tend to focus on how freaking expansive his repertoire is. My pretentious 15 year old mind held him in disdain when Justified came out but he kept drilling his craft and slowly my disdain transitioned from begrudging respect to full-blown affection and admiration. And, I…

Justin Timberlake proves this weird conundrum for me. I don't dislike his music, but I tend to dislike his genre. Yet, i find myself so undeniably endeared by this man and have an unabashed fondness for him. i've never been able to pinpoint what it is - his charm? Talent? SNL chops? I've never seen him in concert, i'm…

O'Neal got real in the last paragraph.

Her distorted reality as a wife to two men in Prestige really stuck with me after all these years. Phenomenal actress.

Jesus christ. I was taking a sip of water when I clicked this and almost died on the very sustenance I need to survive. It's a sign - our time is up.

*shrugs* some people like it. So who cares. People like my mother (I guess older people in general) are really sensitive to caffeine - one cup of coffee at eleven am can set their sleep schedule off no matter how many times they go to the bathroom in the time period between. So I can see how it's filling a needed…

It was the album that really make me think "oh well, this band is the real deal". Hot Fuss is great, but Sam's Town was exceptional and impactful. When You Were Young alone evokes this dark bittersweet human emotion whenever it plays.

The Diego Calls His Mom sketch was one of the biggest surprises of the season for me (I know it's only the second episode but I doubt they would venture something like it anytime soon). Just the innocent sincerity in its irony but the almost lullaby-esque shots and music simply put pause in your laughter. It was still…

On the surface of things, there's really no reason for John Wick to be this good. And yet, I found myself grinning bigger and bigger with every jarring cut to the next scene. Definitely excited, and it's a relief to see Keanu back on fine form.

Agreed. Peter's lost quality of his singing didn't allow you any reprieve or room to breathe. Epilogue is a close second when it comes to sweet wreckage on the album.

The Antlers' Shiva. The whole Hospice album I can only listen to once a year at most. 2010-11 was a dark year for me and for better or for worse, that album knocked me defenceless where I was in a fetal position for about a week, holed up in my house. Shiva never fails to bring my body to full stop and i have trouble…

My dad turned 65 this year, and when asked what he wanted for his birthday dinner, he politely requested a Big Mac combo. I do the cooking in the house and my menus usually are just four different dishes of vegetables. Good variety, and plenty of flavour, but vegetables none the less. So I happily got him the combo…

Hurrah for in-flight MSG! Your taste buds are shot at 30 000 feet in the air, so bring on the overload of salt!

Yah, I haven't heard good things about China Airlines in the last few years. Which is sad, because they have the more convenient routes for me since I fly Vancouver, Japan, Taiwan quite often.

The best airplane meals I've had have always been China Airlines: instant noodle late night snack. I'm not sure if they still do them anymore; it's been years since I've flown with them, as I've always opted for JAL/ANA, EVA, or Cathay. But my childhood memories of flying back to Asia always consisted of them handing…

I only realised this after reading Roger Ebert's review of Totoro: the relationship between Satsuki and Mei and their father is an example of a result of equalisation in communication. Raising two little girls by yourself while supporting a sickly wife is never easy, and by no means should it be depicted as such. But…

No but he did have the whitest of hair and a shade of violent blue eyes which I swore turned the prettiest gold when he got fired up. He hung around a group of friends who actually had the same birthday and sort of all looked alike…
