There were a lot of grandparent-aged people at the showing of Perks of Being a Wallflower I attended a couple Saturday ago. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. High school never ends.
There's nothing that depresses me more than comparing my achievements (or lack thereof) to the achievements of other people my age, even though I know that's a stupid thing to do because we are all different and blah blah blah.
The limbo Danny! was in between the Def Jux and OkayPlayer deals was pretty lengthy. He dropped a classic called Where Is Danny? during said limbo, which is sort of his version of Madvillainy. But Payback's damn good too; check out "Speed" as well.
I'm excited for House of Cards! The original show is pretty crazy and I think Kevin Spacey could be a good American version of Urquhart. Plus Kate Mara is pretty (blahblah).
Mindy Kaling, probably, since The Mindy Project will likely be a hit.
You probably mean in a starring role, but Daniel Dae Kim is doing okay (Lost to Hawaii 5-0, the latter of which I have never seen but apparently a lot of people have).
I love CyHi's verse on "So Appalled," but I guess that is the only thing I've heard from him, so maybe he is not always that good. Woo constructive comment.
To me, it's not even a question that Brighten the Corners is better than Terror Twilight, and I'd even go so far as to say that Brighten the Corners is my favorite Pavement album (and "Type Slowly" is the best Pavement song, but I guess we can wait until the 'top 10 Pavement songs' post for that argument). But really, I think all their full-lengths save TT could be thought of as 'the best' depending on the day, which is one reason I love Pavement so much.
Probably the funniest headline I've ever read, thanks Kelly. Also, much like Jason Segel in Freaks and Geeks, 4 Armed Mohawk Robot should really take a drum lesson so it can hold the sticks like Buddy Rich did.
Between this and his 'under the bus' comment a couple days ago, it seems like Al Roker is trying to single-handedly destroy the Today Show, or at least single-handedly get fired. Good luck, dude.
Whatever, they're probably old enough to not care about what other people think about the faces they make while cheering. Or if they do care, they care more about cheering on their daughter at the Olympics.
The Raismans are from Needham, which is a suburb not too far from Boston. I've lived there too, and that's definitely typical suburban Massachusetts parent behavior at sporting events.
Fuckin' finally. The songs on those new 7" records are great, so I'm looking forward to this! Also, not to be that guy, but Pinback were on Touch and Go (which also had to shut down, sad) before they signed to Temporary Residence.
Also great that Jared Harris got nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama, aka Best Supporting Actor in breaking his glasses and hanging from a rope.
So this is like the third year in a row where three or four people from Modern Family are nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Nick Offerman is not nominated. No, I get it, totally.
Technically, you're not giving them your money until after the deadline passes, even though you're pledging money beforehand. If the deadline passes and the target amount of money isn't reached, then they don't get the money you or anyone pledged. If the target is reached, then they will take the money everyone pledged.
1) Sandy Cohen formally adopts Ryan Atwood.

6) Seth Cohen/Summer Roberts upside-down Spiderman kiss in the rain.
7) Kirsten Cohen has a drinking problem?!
8) Ryan Atwood is angry at Trey Atwood, gives famous "All year I've tried to be a different person" speech.
9) Marissa Cooper shoots Trey Atwood, everyone loves Imogen Heap.
10) Marissa Cooper passes out from dying.
I don't think this is spoilery, but I guess it's not really brought up in the trailer so:
I thought the Jake Johnson plot was very good, probably my favorite part of the movie. A review I read of the movie pointed out that what he was trying to do by seeking out that girl was essentially time traveling, which made sense and made his story very relevant to the main plot. Also, the culmination of his and Karan Sori's stories was the best montage set to a Wye Oak song ever.
A little late here, but you're probably right. I had only seen a couple Wes Anderson movies before I saw Moonrise Kingdom (Rushmore and The Life Aquatic), and definitely not more than once each. Maybe because of that, I thought Moonrise Kingdom was great and one of the best movies I've seen in a while. I thought the two kids' relationship was totally realistic and made me wistfully think of a time when I was in love and was loved back; I think it's one of the best presentations of first love that I've ever seen in a movie (and I wasn't put off by the fact that they were 12 and in their underwear, since I think that's around the age when relationships and kissing and etc. become a thing that kids think about). I loved the hyper-intelligent and -competent children in contrast with the sad, kind of dumb, slow-moving adults, like this is Anderson's way of saying that he believes that our children are the future. I wanted to watch it again when it ended.
I think one thing about Mad Men that I like is the unpredictability of whether or not characters will be returning, and part of that is due to Matt Weiner's/ the cast's secrecy (I still am waiting for Don to suffer the wrath of Dr. Faye after basically ruining her life in the fourth season). I totally buy Jared Harris' backpedaling and don't think what he said initially actually means anything in regards to Elisabeth Moss being off the show as a regular character - maybe it means she won't be in the season finale, but nobody except Weiner probably knows whether she'll be in the sixth and seventh season. Also, I don't remember this sort of fuss existing when Cooper said he was leaving the firm at the end of the fourth season, and he was right back in the mix this season.
Bill Clinton should be played by Jay Leno judging by how he looks in that picture.
I've said this before (I say it every day, obviously), but:
Hilary Clinton should be played by Linda Cardellini.
Newt Gingrich should be played by Philip Seymour Hoffman.
