@LazlosGhost I used to give it credence back in the 2000s-early 2010s. Back then, an 85% was really good and anything 90% and above was pretty rare.

At some point (probably when critics started getting paid off more), the scale shifted. An 85% is bad now, and pretty much every movie is a 90

@Evanryt He’s basically A$AP Rocky - great atmospheric production with consistently interesting sonics but little lyrical value. Still a good album, yet the lack of memorable hooks amplifies it’s shallow worldview.

The episode overall is great. But I always come back to that opening montage - such a classic and distinguished scene. It's got an Old Hollywood flair to it, completely transcending all preconceived notions of a television show.

"Guy Walks Into a Psychiatrist's Office," the Sopranos season 2 premiere, welcomes us back to the North Jersey mafia world with open arms.

Season 1 of The Sopranos was relatively linear in its storytelling. Based on the season 2 premiere, we can already tell that this chapter will be deeper and more intricate yet also looser and more freewheeling.

All in all, "For Those Who Think Young" is a very solid season premiere, perfectly setting up the potential storylines that Mad Men may take in the year ahead. The episode is never flashy yet remains as glamorous as ever.

The Mad Men season 2 premiere gets us back into the swing of things in the only way the series knows how: refined, elegant and completely unhurried.

It's interesting that the season two premieres for both Mad Men and The Sopranos open with musical montages to get us back up to speed with what's going on.

Travis Scott’s new album begins with a lengthy sample of Gentle Giant’s “Proclamation.” In other words, the most monumental moment in hip hop history.

People who love Lost Highway like to remember things their own way not necessarily the way they happened so when someone says it's David Lynch's best film just agree with them because one day you might receive a mysterious VHS tape revealing someone recording you while you sleep

@baddantakes When I was at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, they showed a movie featuring clips from every single artist that had been inducted, and this was the performance they used for Steely Dan.

"Songs by Sinatra" Album Review https://t.co/2Cqd21Ecc0 via @ColinsReview

@TheParTrain I think it lost some appeal when it was moved from last major of the year. That said, the PGA has a knack for consistently producing elite winners (Thomas, Koepka, Phil) rather than one-offs that seem to come up every so often in the “harder” majors (Molinari, Woodland, Bryson)
