I feel like this is going to be like Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead and Kelly's just going to pivot and be really mean all of a sudden once mom is out of view.
The blogging is done, man.

There's nothing on the internet quite like Videogum and its commenting culture.
It's the best.
Thanks for everything, and introducing us to so many great writers, performers, monsters and nightmares!
Have a great summer!

I love Soderbergh -- his streak of great work from Haywire to the pretty damn enjoyable commercial stuff like Magic Mike is unprecedented -- but The Girlfriend Experience was terrible.
The only interesting thing was the insight into how people always wanted to know "what it was like" to be a prostitute and how everyone's questioning of the call girl was nearly identical.
To be fair, NYer gave Deen OK marks, though they said he speaks too quickly.
Do you like The Simpsons? I've been a big fan ever since the release of their 1989 Christmas episode, Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire where Matt Groening's presence became more apparent. I think The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show was the their undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on cartoons.
Blurred Lines is so fun. It's like Robert Palmer and Fat Albert's Junkyard Band had a baby.
Problematic lyrical content/imagery? Completely. But, if I'm being honest with myself, 85% of the hip hop I own doesn't conform to my worldview, nor the feminist ideals with which I was raised. That's the devil's pact one makes in the pop music world. I am not what I listen to. I'm an adult who can parse my media choices and put things in proper context. #notoriousbig #jayz #basicallyeverything
It's very enjoyable! The first season is a bit rocky, but once the characters start driving the story in season 2, it's really fun. It's like Gilmore Girls + (seriously, I have no example of a good vampire show other than Buffy itself).
