Mean Reviews

I’m going to be honest with you, I thought this season sucked. Not because of any part of it in particular–but because it was unfocused. It was all over the place. Rather than spend all that time on Artie restaurant fucknut subplot–maybe find a real plot?

Anyway, here are a few quotes from the HBO message boards–always a fun read.

“Are you f*king kiddin me? from tony being in a coma, to homo vito, to ?????? Thanks Mr. Chase for a dissapointing season! Where the hell were you going with this?”

” Very sad finale’…completely unimpressed…I had such high hopes too.”

“A shitty finale to a shitty season, David chase and company thanks for wasting every viewers time. Your as creative as my toe nail!”

“As much as I loved the show that I thought was the Sopranos, this season has sucked so bad they can keep the rest of it-To quote our beloved leader”fool me once sh..shame on me…fool me twice…uh..you can’t fool me again!”

” Chase should do us all a favour and cancel the final eight shows.”

“I wish I could block this whole season out of my memory because it soured my view on the show, I can’t believe how incredibly dull and boring this season was i felt like i was watching days of our lives in spanish for an hour every sunday..”

More after the jump!

While Extra Mean is off watching this steaming hunk of poo for his job, The Catholic League is putting together a compilation of the nastiest things that critics are saying about the movie as the reviews start rolling in. Hey religious bitches, why you gotta steal our schtick?

What is it about most ‘bloggers’ that make them interesting only on the internet? I haven’t read ‘Dog Days’ by Ana Marie Cox, and I don’t want to. Avoiding her “Gawker Media” powered blog is enough.

Anyway, I was browsing around Metacritic today and it came to my attention that when her novel came out in January (when this website didn’t exist), the critics set on it like, well, dogs. I have two theories about why this is:

1) Like everything Gawker produces, it’s navel-gazing, bitchy instead of funny, exhausting, joyless, elitist, and badly written.

2) The little douchebag got paid 250,000 bucks to write a crappy semi-autobiographical novel, and that sort of thing pisses off talented journalists who get paid 60k a year.

Without further ado, here’s the Best of the Meanest on ‘Dog Days’: (more…)

It doesn’t matter that the song sucks or that the critics hate it (a 47 on Metacritic, making it the 53rd worst album in the history of the website, tying scores with Lindsey Lohan’s album.), Daniel Powter’s ‘Bad Day’ is a hit! Number one on the Billboard charts! Again! Why? Because they play the damn thing every week on American Idol. I haven’t been this sick of a something since that Snow Patrol song was on the promo for Empire Falls on HBO. That wasn’t even a bad song and I still wanted to render myself infertile with a sharpened pool cue everytime I had to listen to it.
We think MusicOMH.com said it best in their review:

After a while, it grates badly on the nerves.
