Librarian here again: I hadn't yet seen any s.7 episodes and so didn't know they weren't attached to the books. Given that, no idea what the hell they're for.

Why the scare quotes around "accurate" and "accuracy"?

Librarian here: the chains are so people can't make off with the books.

The prequels get a little more flak than they deserve, but Episode 1 is definitely the worst of the bunch.

Does it bother anyone else that A.A. typed [year: movie] instead of simply using a separate column for the year?

It sure would. Give it a shot and you'll see that I'm right.

“some people are awful, women are people, some women are awful”
Let's take another look at that reasoning:
Some fruit is red. Lemons are fruit. Some lemons are red.
Nope.

'Tick Tock' would've been the better choice, for a song from this band.

Wrong. 'The Office' never broke the fourth wall. The camera crews and (eventual) audience were internal, not external, to the universe of the show. We who watched it weren't the audience to which Jim was mugging.

"Arriving in the middle of what was arguably the most politically and socially divisive time in American history…."
The 60s were the most politically and socially divisive time in American history? Maybe you're getting the 1960s confused with the 1860s.

"We’re unclear what the exact problem is. Was Ayer not explicit enough about using them as inspiration? Are they distressed because they weren’t credited? Are they offended because the movie is bad? (Same here.) Or are they just still reeling from the fact that Chappie was such a debacle?"
Might it have something to do…

"film's". That's too bad.

What's Ian MacKaye doing adding his $0.02 to this conversation when what he needs to be doing is helping demo another Fugazi album and organizing a tour with at least two showswithin easy driving distance from me.

Trying not to raise a mental red flag over Jim Belushi. Though I guess he'd make for a decent Jacques Renault-type.

Stunned at the level of defense of McLean here. The interviewee may be a hipster and have any number of other things wrong with him (not having ever heard of him before I'll reserve judgement), but facts is facts: "American Pie" suuuuuuucks.

What about Sam killing that White Walker?

Is it established that 'I Just Wanna Get Along' (the Breeders) is Kim Deal dissing on Black Francis/Frank Black/Charles Thompson?

Are we sure that's Meg on 'St. Andrew'?

'Begs the question' does not mean 'raises the question', goddammit.

Poor Angela Martin doesn't get a mention.
