  <description><![CDATA[Each week, the writers of <em>The A.V. Club</em> issue a slightly slanted pop-culture list filled with challenging opinions (Is David Bowie's &quot;Young Americans&quot; nearly ruined by saxophone?) and fascinating facts. Exploring 24 great films too painful to watch twice, 14 tragic movie-masturbation scenes, 18 songs about crappy cities, and much more, Inventory combines a massive helping of new lists created especially for the book with a few favorites first seen at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://avclub.com">avclub.com</a> and in the pages of <em>The A.V. Club</em>'s sister publication, <em>The Onion</em>.<p>But wait! There's more: John Hodgman offers a set of minutely detailed (and probably fictional) character actors. Patton Oswalt waxes ecstatic about the &quot;quiet film revolutions&quot; that changed cinema in small but exciting ways. Amy Sedaris lists 50 things that make her laugh. &quot;Weird Al&quot; Yankovic examines the noises of <em>Mad</em> magazine's Don Martin. Plus lists from Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Ben Garant, Tom Lennon, Andrew W.K., Tim and Eric, Daniel Handler, and Zach Galifianakis -- and an epic foreword from essayist Chuck Klosterman.</p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Each week, the writers of <em>The A.V. Club</em> issue a slightly slanted pop-culture list filled with challenging opinions (Is David Bowie's &quot;Young Americans&quot; nearly ruined by saxophone?) and fascinating facts. Exploring 24 great films too painful to watch twice, 14 tragic movie-masturbation scenes, 18 songs about crappy cities, and much more, Inventory combines a massive helping of new lists created especially for the book with a few favorites first seen at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://avclub.com">avclub.com</a> and in the pages of <em>The A.V. Club</em>'s sister publication, <em>The Onion</em>.<p>But wait! There's more: John Hodgman offers a set of minutely detailed (and probably fictional) character actors. Patton Oswalt waxes ecstatic about the &quot;quiet film revolutions&quot; that changed cinema in small but exciting ways. Amy Sedaris lists 50 things that make her laugh. &quot;Weird Al&quot; Yankovic examines the noises of <em>Mad</em> magazine's Don Martin. Plus lists from Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Ben Garant, Tom Lennon, Andrew W.K., Tim and Eric, Daniel Handler, and Zach Galifianakis -- and an epic foreword from essayist Chuck Klosterman.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Each week, the writers of <em>The A.V. Club</em> issue a slightly slanted pop-culture list filled with challenging opinions (Is David Bowie's &quot;Young Americans&quot; nearly ruined by saxophone?) and fascinating facts. Exploring 24 great films too painful to watch twice, 14 tragic movie-masturbation scenes, 18 songs about crappy cities, and much more, Inventory combines a massive helping of new lists created especially for the book with a few favorites first seen at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://avclub.com">avclub.com</a> and in the pages of <em>The A.V. Club</em>'s sister publication, <em>The Onion</em>.<p>But wait! There's more: John Hodgman offers a set of minutely detailed (and probably fictional) character actors. Patton Oswalt waxes ecstatic about the &quot;quiet film revolutions&quot; that changed cinema in small but exciting ways. Amy Sedaris lists 50 things that make her laugh. &quot;Weird Al&quot; Yankovic examines the noises of <em>Mad</em> magazine's Don Martin. Plus lists from Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Ben Garant, Tom Lennon, Andrew W.K., Tim and Eric, Daniel Handler, and Zach Galifianakis -- and an epic foreword from essayist Chuck Klosterman.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Each week, the writers of <em>The A.V. Club</em> issue a slightly slanted pop-culture list filled with challenging opinions (Is David Bowie's &quot;Young Americans&quot; nearly ruined by saxophone?) and fascinating facts. Exploring 24 great films too painful to watch twice, 14 tragic movie-masturbation scenes, 18 songs about crappy cities, and much more, Inventory combines a massive helping of new lists created especially for the book with a few favorites first seen at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://avclub.com">avclub.com</a> and in the pages of <em>The A.V. Club</em>'s sister publication, <em>The Onion</em>.<p>But wait! There's more: John Hodgman offers a set of minutely detailed (and probably fictional) character actors. Patton Oswalt waxes ecstatic about the &quot;quiet film revolutions&quot; that changed cinema in small but exciting ways. Amy Sedaris lists 50 things that make her laugh. &quot;Weird Al&quot; Yankovic examines the noises of <em>Mad</em> magazine's Don Martin. Plus lists from Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Ben Garant, Tom Lennon, Andrew W.K., Tim and Eric, Daniel Handler, and Zach Galifianakis -- and an epic foreword from essayist Chuck Klosterman.</p>]]>
