    January 30th, 2010 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 3 Comments

    I’ve had a number of requests — in person, over email, over Twitter — where people want to hear my thoughts on the Post-Avatar Depression Syndrome (PADS, this week’s second unfortunate instance of that word, “pad”). Why do people want that? Can’t say. I suspect it’s because I am the Overlord of Pop Culture. I [...]

    And by “review,” I mean, “hastily scrawled impressions.”
    Let’s just get out of the way: fuck it, I loved it.
