It didn't have any single plotline that was as sustained in hilarity as last week's Sheldon and Penny extravaganza, but both plotlines were warmly funny, both treated the characters as actual human beings, and both managed to - gasp! - continue with plots introduced in previous episodes. I think I've said before that &lt;em&gt;The Big Bang Theory&lt;/em&gt; is a very good show that's not quite a great one, but there are times when the great show it could be peeks through from behind whatever ...

Though his debut feature, 1996’s &lt;i&gt;Bottle Rocket&lt;/i&gt;, only drew a small coterie of followers—mostly on video, in the wake of his MTV Movie Award for Best New Filmmaker—Anderson raised his profile enormously with his 1998 follow-up &lt;i&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="/articles/rushmore,19475/"&gt;Rushmore&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, which revived Bill Murray’s critical reputation and influenced a wave of indie films ...

So it stands to reason that a Neil Diamond Christmas album would be like a drunken Vegas soirée catered by the Melting Pot. It’s true that Diamond’s gut-busting style sometimes misfires—“The Christmas Song,” for instance, has a backing track that sounds stripped from a karaoke machine. But more often, it’s pretty juicy holiday ham: See the guttural “Later on—&lt;i&gt;ach!&lt;/i&gt;—we’ll conspire” and the totally hammy chorus-girls ending of “Winter Wonderland.” Or the opening track, “Cherry Cherry Christmas,” which we know Diamond wrote ...

And in a sense, it was: The band let Atlantic Records water down the mix and release the album in a significantly tinnier, compromised form that hewed closer to the alt-rock production values of the ’90s. But Jawbox was never an alt-rock band; its previous full-lengths came out on the stridently independent label Dischord, and &lt;i&gt;Sweetheart &lt;/i&gt;became one of the essential building blocks of post-hardcore.

Then Williams plummeted into that abyss and destroyed his pop-star persona. By 2007, he was acting like an artist gone nuts; bearded, chubby, and looking for UFOs in the desert, he recorded an unreleased experimental album that, he later said, would have amounted to “career suicide” (implying, of course, that his career was still alive). All of that resulted in the radio-cozy, polished &lt;i&gt;Reality Killed The Video Star&lt;/i&gt;, Williams’ rehabilitation from eccentricity. Neurotically examining his ...
