I am in favor of primers on Kings in general, be they Diamond or Crimson. 

Make up for it by punching a priest and burning a flag.    

I can't believe both of those are actual things that exist. 

I know that this article is about British Heavy Metal and not Danish metal, but the first incarnation of Mercyful Fate deserves to be mentioned alongside the acts in this article.  

Nu-Metal. 

Cal Varnsen hated it. 

The sex jokes in Fucilli Jerry and the Rye are ones that went over my head completely, but I didn't need to know what the Merv Griffin Show was to appreciate the joke.  It isn't as if there is that much about the episode that is particular to the show other than the name; the jokes rest on recognizing a generic talk…

It's either Number of the Beast or Somewhere in Time.  As much hate as Dickinson got, I didn't care for any of the guys who replaced him in the interim.  I also haven't cared for the band since he returned, but that's another story.  

In the unlikely event that Sims is reading through the comments that aren't filled with anger at him, what's your take on Curb Your Enthusiasm?  CYE has many sillier, more implausible plot lines that do manage to get to the Seinfeld level of genius plotting.  CYE strikes me as having the same silly tone as, oddly, the…

It is worth it for George's confused look as he walks onto the set as the music plays. 

"The whole thing is peculiar, and even for Jerry, it seems too juvenile, but it’s hardly disturbing."  I assumed that the drugging and fitting the set into Kramer's apartment are where some people get lost.  Having never met anyone who doesn't care for the episode (the Puerto Rican Day Paraded is the season 9 episode…

@avclub-6ef36c8de89f58253dbbd5f338837bf1:disqus .  Do you really want to make an argument over whether the Christian film industry makes more money and has a larger reach than the 'secular' one? 

"It's not like the best thing ever, but it's good enough that it shouldn't have been completely forgotten."  That's quite the endorsement. 

It already knows what porn you search for, so what else do you really need to keep hidden?

I would like to think that Google's shareholder's will start dumping the stock the more projects it takes on that seem to be far-removed from its core business, but that hasn't happened on any of the other million non-search related projects Google has started.  Not that I want Google to fail at anything, but I…

Cam the Venture Bros. be somehow involved? 

Unfortunately, that would mean having to face up to the odd reality that what Hollywood does is significantly more difficult than simply making propaganda.  The woman making the book about heroic loggers and the Christian film industry are getting beaten by Hollywood by every measure.  Being more successful doesn't…

If he had, it would explain a lot about his writing here.  Actually, no, it wouldn't.  

I'm a man of few words….

I'm surprised there was no Kid Rock music used in the trailer.  I'm also surprised that I don't know what the contemporary equivalent of Kid Rock is, assuming it exists.
