    2014 Music

    2013 is over, let's ring in 2014. This is a thread to discuss 2014's musical offerings. What releases are you looking forward to this year? Personally my most anticipated album has got to be St. Vincent's self-titled album, but I'm also looking forward to The Roots' & Then You Shoot Your Cousin...

    Doctor Who

    Everything was going reasonably well until the ending. Moffat's run as head writer has been defined by the way he continually writes himself into corners, but I think he finally ran out of corners to run to with this one. Without wanting to delve into spoiler territory, that ending was probably...

    "Touch" by Daft Punk is my favourite song of the year. "Beyond" by Daft Punk is my least favourite song of the year. I'll post my favourite albums when I'm done deciding (still gotta catch up on some shit first). Unless I am absolutely devastated by something I haven't listened to yet, which I...

    New Cut Copy = ok. I was one of the few people who absolutely loved Zonoscope, but Free Your Mind just sounds a bit samey and anonymous. Where are the hooks?! New Arcade Fire = yet another terrific album, though perhaps in a slightly different way from their others. By which I mean that I think...

    Yeezus = yet another pretty great Kanye album. Obviously haven't listened to it a huge number of times yet, but currently I'd only rank it behind Late Registration and MBDTF. Bound 2 is superb, lovely little throwback to the Late Registration days

    Pokémon XY General Discussion

    Am I the only one noticing that according to the chart, dragon isn't effective against anything? What's up with that? EDIT: Oh, dual types, ok, nvm

    It's Arrested Development

    I really don't think that Michael will have murdered Lucille 2, since that would take this show to entirely too dark a place. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if her disappearance is treated as a murder and that Michael is implicated. Also, given how heavily they placed suspicion on Michael...

    Doctor Who

    I don't think he has actually escaped from his own timeline yet; they certainly didn't show it onscreen. In fact, still being trapped in his own timeline might go some way to explaining how he'll be able to interact with David Tennant in the anniversary episode, which, in answer to your...

    I thought it was one of the weaker tracks on the album, personally. I dunno, I just felt like they didn't give Panda Bear much to do on the track besides repeating the same hanful of lines over and over. I have liked it more on repeated listens, though, so maybe it'll grow on me. Was anyone else...

    Doctor Who

    I was more bothered by the fact that the kid said he was a member of a chess club and then literally played the worst possible combination of moves there is. I feel like the latest episode really should have been a two parter. Like, all the ingredients of a terrific episode were there, it's...

    New JT is now streaming online: http://itunes.com/justintimberlake. Still only on Pusher Love Girl at the moment, but daaaaayum. The song lengths look like they might be very self-indulgent (70 minutes over 10 tracks, only two tracks run under 7 minutes), but I'm inclined to let that slide...

    I tried to get into Loveless twice and failed, but I enjoyed m b v very much. Maybe I'll have to re-revisit their earlier work...

    Yikes, good luck! I'm not sure I'd be able to watch something that long without stretching it over a few days...let us know how you get on!

    Oscars/Golden Globes thread

    Well, there are such things as writing, acting, directing, editing, special effects, etc., all of which can be judged and defined. To say otherwise is ludicrous. I mean, I agree with you to an extent that sometimes people just like things regardless of these flaws, but the fact is that these...

    erm, yes, that was the entire point of the movie. You're supposed to question the morality of the excessively violent nature of the revenge taken on the Nazis in the movie theatre. You're supposed to find the basterds horrible people because that's exactly what they are. The implications you...

    I'll add my voice to the chorus of people recommending Wong Kar Wai: I watched 2046 yesterday, which I liked very much, though I think I'll need to see it again to fully appreciate it...I also rewatched In the Mood for Love the day before, which is one of my all time favourites. I'll throw my...

    Media itt: movie/film discussion - Beware Spoilers

    Much as your dislike of Skyfall tempts me not to berate you for this (even though your reasons for disliking it appear to be completely different to mine), I think the reason people are giving you shit for disliking The Avengers is because you yourself admitted that you walked out halfway...
