I see no contradiction

Between stating that the Rolling Stones are better than the Beatles but that the Stones should probably be dead by now.

Seems fairly simple, even obvious, to me.

Salon!

I couldn't be happier about this and it may be the tipping point to force me into a premium membership. This is great.

The Problem with House isn't the Protagonist

It's the god awful writing, no matter which character is spouting it. I struggle to think of a more tepid, tasteless, or totally humorless diagnostic show on television right now. The humor on House is like a day old opened can of cocoa cola.

And I'm rendered aghast, week after week, as people continue to tune into Lost. It's pretty baffling, frankly.

Is literally made for working out. It's great, too.

Original article: News you can abuse

Fark is like Somethingawful.com

For people with bad senses of humor and bad haircuts.

The book sounds interesting but ultimately seems as pointless and forgettable as the types of news it labels as such.

Keep Audiofile

It's a good column. Get rid of Video Dog, which has degraded to the point of some subhumor webcast.

Sooo H.H..

Big Love's second season is faster, funnier and more engaging i'd say. i don't understand the complaint that the wife-interactions are being ignored. The waitress storyline existed to show the differences between Margene and the other wives.

i can hardly believe anyone would complain about Big Love considering the fucking mess John from Cincinnati has become.

Please stop running this comic

Don't get me wrong, i'd love an extra comic every week, but choose something else. Maybe you could lure Ward Sutton back to the comics business, or just give Chris Onstad some more money.

and have you heard of John Roberts?

Maria, Clark, and Michael are some of the best, Michael especially is poised for his own half-hour television or (probably in this clime) web show. Another promising comedian is John Roberts (http://www.youtube.com/mittymoo) who may not be be enough of a loser to get his own show, but does a pretty great Jersey accent

And why no props for www.adultswim.com, Heather? They're one of the few stations who put up the entirety of their new programming online (a couple days before it airs on cable, actually). Some of it's not so great (Robot Chicken inexplicably continues to gain popularity) but there are real gems there, too: anything by Tim and Eric or Loren Bouchard, The Boondocks.

Despite funniness I await the day that such a multitude of full-length programming is available on the internet; sometimes a two minute clip just isn't satisfying. Considering that a few thousand television writers are going into extended unemployment (not even a mention of the stalled negotiations in this article) I'd say the ball is in the court of any video website who wants to start making investments.

I'm at a loss for anything else.

Tom Tomorrow actually made me laugh this week; I cringed at this KoF.

You Need to Understand Misanthropy

For that is at the heart of this film and more importantly the character and performance. There is no explanation for it, no "his mother didn't love him" foundation for it, as Miss Zacharek falsely claims she wouldn't have liked to see in the film.

No, misanthropy is an in-born orientation, and for those of us familiar with it Daniel's performance and character rang painfully true.

I'm glad I didn't see the movie with Stephanie, I'm betting she laughed at all the wrong parts.

Just so you know, i like them.

Shocked and disappointed by this entry

Your interpretation of the Moyers interview is very sad.

Tuesday, September 1, 2009 05:45 PM

wow, where the hell did amy benfer come from?

this post is absolutely pitch perfect and really interesting. been following broadsheet for awhile (always liked TCF's reasoned writing) but as a young white male no voice has really connected with me until i read this.

great story, great voice. more.

how old are you people?

Seriously, anyone under 40 who isn't interested in the literary career of Stephen Elliot is very out of touch.

These comments sound like the recriminations of a 100 stuffed up jurors.

Monday, October 26, 2009 01:43 AM

hahaha

hilarious. i'd say run some more (you guys have some great commentary, but aside from Tom the Dancing Bug not much in the funny department) except all these comments from old people who don't get the joke seems like a bad sign.

anyway that keith olbermann joke was pretty stupid but 'Don't Ask, Don't Smell' made up for it.

um

"See, it's the stars' fault! They go around waving those things -- what are we supposed to do?"

uh they choose to wear a SEE THRU dress. i'd say that is putting sexuality front & center.
