He said, like, three words the entire concert when I saw them, but was easily the most dynamic dancer/instrument player, so…. maybe a podcast isn't the ideal medium?

They didn't! We pulled over to a curb on a flat road, and the guy said, "ok, show me uphill/downhill parking." Inexplicable.

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and to this day, it completely baffles me that my driving test did not include parallel parking, but uphill/downhill parking was a crucial, harped-upon component.

Yeah, to twist an Ebert quote, on the basis of the footage that we saw, I can't imagine any version of these movies in their present form that I would want to see - the only way to fix it would be to start from scratch.

I thought that character was too real to work as comedy. Like, props to Cecily for an absolutely dead-on perfect rendition of that sort of person, but I dunno, I find it hard to laugh at that.

He and Davis will absolutely be nominated, given the extreme whiteness of last year and The Birth Of A Nation now effectively out of the race.

Yes, because news outlets need content. Same reason they're saying the election is close. "Sure, Trump needs the black/Latino vote that he absolutely won't get, and has to flip at least 8 swing states that went to Obama to win, but it could totally happen you guys!"

The best thing Holt did last night was this Onion.

There are a surprising number of "why isn't this a movie?" true stories involving murder, blackmail, racism, etc. in the gay porn industry, just since 2000. Someone who isn't Ryan Murphy, get on that anthology series, stat.

Next stanza:

As another "I don't think she's the best Dem for the job, but I'm voting for her because that's how the world works" person, I thought these were both fair, valid criticisms of her and the Democrats:

Yeah, pretty much. I have the DVDs of season 1-10, and every now and then I'll throw one on, but the AV Club commentariat's constant references renders watching them largely irrelevant.

SOUTH PARK DID IT.

Interesting. I thought her performance was laughably terrible in this, especially in the later stretches. Not that it mattered, since the camerawork in the last half hour of the movie was so shaky, it was almost unintelligible.

The emotional climax of If I Stay features a string quartet singalong to Today by Smashing Pumpkins.

This was announced in March. Joe, it's OK to write more than one draft.

She spent the last three years singing national anthems and Sound of Music and Tony Bennett collaborations to solidify herself with the olds. Now, she's putting out a pop album one week before Halloween, giving the gay bar DJs a week to remix it for Halloween.

These two also collaborated for the only funny scene in Hot Tub Time Machine 2.

Speaking of that, how the hell are those books not a movie/show yet?

This doesn't look great, but I'm glad to see Stephen Gaghan back.
