...some singers note that the show has a downside. The more popular Glee gets, the more audiences expect real-life singers to sound like the singers on it. That's a tall order when many onscreen songs may be getting a boost from pitch correction and other professional sound-enhancement technology. For instance, as Vinyl Street member and die-hard Glee fan Joanna Aven points out, there are only six singers onstage in the Glee version of "Don't Stop Believin' " - which became a top iTunes download and hit No. 4 on the Billboard chart, surpassing Journey's 1981 original...

...insults kids to suggest that simply watching Characters Behaving Badly onscreen means they'll take that as permission to do the same themselves. The fact that Glee is about a club full of misfits already makes it ripe gospel ground; Jesus was not likely to be sitting at the cool kids' table in the cafeteria. And it's set in high school, meaning it's about a journey not just to college and career but to identity and conviction, the price of popularity, the compromises we must make between what we want and what we need...

...know what I’m talking about, props to you for following Shear Genius all the way to its spin-off death. Perhaps observing the intricacies of hair cutting onscreen has taught you to recognize that La Flamme is where you go for assisted suicide. Watching this twice is also marginally understandable—once in awhile Harvard FML is slow to load, and, I mean, you have to look at something in the meantime, right? Dear devoted Tabatha fan and weekly viewer—buddy, you are so on your own that you should feel special...

Many critics hailed French-language film “Caché” as a masterpiece of suspense cinema—a still from the film of Juliette Binoche and her onscreen husband Daniel Auteuil lovingly adorns the textbook foisted on all students taking Visual and Environmental Studies 70: “The Art of Film.” I have a theory, however, that those who praised the movie were simply trying to mask their incomprehension at the never-ending shots of the same nondescript house. Not that it’s their fault; it?...

...movie opens with an elderly tattoo artist imprinting the image of a dragon onto a mob boss. As he hacks away at the mobster’s skin in vivid onscreen detail, a telegram arrives filled with black dust. The old man recoils in horror, explaining that the last time he saw such a letter, the mocking laughter of his employers was “drowned in blood.” Suddenly, a series of goons are inexplicably beheaded, halved, and cut limb by limb in rapid succession. No sword or swordsman is visible, only swoosh sounds and silver flickers...
