The History Channel examines the mental landscape of Batman with select interviews from writers and various experts in the psychology field. Insight is given on the motivating forces that drive the Joker, Catwoman, and the other villains of Gotham City.
I always felt Batman had a great curiosity about the Joker because he hadn’t ever come across someone like him before. This is another character like himself that will not compromise whatsoever. The Joker wants to see that everybody has a price, that nobody is pure and that even Batman can be bought or leveraged in such a way that he would compromise his principles.
-Christian Bale
The Joker has an agenda of a chaos, he’s a unique villain in that he is not necessarily after money or power, or any of those traditional things, that’s really the hardest kind of evil to fight because you can’t bargain with it.
-Danny Fingeroth, author Superman on the Couch
Batman says philosophically we can acknowledge an imperfect world, we can acknowledge that we have to step outside of social norms but that doesn’t make the social norms meaningless. The Joker says the presence of random injustice means that there is no justice. The fact that innocents can be destroyed means that there is no innocence. The Joker isn’t just threatening him physically, he’s threatening the premise of Batman’s existence, that’s why it’s such an epic discussion that they’re having and it’s played out physically, it’s played out in punches and gun fights.
-Benjamin R. Karney, Professor of Psychology, UCLA

Third Monk Presents the Best Songs of 2011
Featuring a neck-breaking beat from Black Milk, the track finds A.Dd+’s Slim Gravy and Paris Pershun detailing the topics that keep them up at night. The whole venting/getting-shit-off-my-chest approach obviously isn’t new to hip-hop, but it’s rare that it’s executed this well. If you’re still sleeping on these guys, you better wake up.
This mellow track from Wale finds him spitting verses about his lady love while Miguel provides the hook. Lotus flower is named “padma” or “kamala,” which also means vagina.
Ottawa-based emcee Vic the Northstar spits about his grind and hard work, a testament to his youth and ambition.
J. Cole and Trey Songz hang with a beach full of babes in their video for Can’t Get Enough. Eventually they’re joined by Cole’s label mate Rihanna, who waves a flag, puffs on a cigar, and plays in the sand in her home country of Barbados.
Rockie Fresh and Casey Veggies were two of the nominees for the XXL Freshmen List, the two bring their summertime, cruise friendly Hip-Hop duet to the forefront with the visual at somebody’s country club.
The Black Keys are still hot from the breakout success of their previous album Brothers, and “Lonely Boy” from their latest El Camino proves that the band’s still got a handle on crafting amazing hooks.
Every once in a while something comes out of those speakers and catches you off guard. Miguel’s got the same recipe as everybody else, but he’s tweaked it just enough to make his songs distinctive. The bass on Sure Thing sighs in the most soothing way just before the beat drops.
The simple hook, the patient kick drum and snaps, and Mikey’s smooth-talk laziness “Throw it in reverse for a shorty with the works/Write my number on some paper then throw it in her purse/As I ride by, first things first/nine times out of ten that cool shit usually works” all recall vintage Cool Kids.

A selection of the top 100 quotes from The Wire, the greatest TV show ever made. Note: Video contains spoilers from all 5 seasons.
Fans of the Wire know that the writing is outstanding. The stories are sprawling, epic, Greek-tragic ruminations on the nature of American conquest and the sacrifices made by the people at the bottom of the ladder on behalf of the ineptitude of those at the top. What’s more, the dialogue is this thick gun-blast of hardened profanity, street slang, police argot, and the undeniably Shakespearean pleasures of hearing gifted orators hold forth on the tilted battle between good and evil.
Enjoy this outstanding compilation of 100 of the greatest quotes from “The Wire”, it’s a jaw-dropping reminder of how many amazing moments this show had. For those of you who still haven’t seen “The Wire”: you owe it to yourself to pack a bowl and watch it. It gets old telling people “Yes, it really is that good” all the time.
Bonus: The Wire – Other 100 Greatest Quotes
So many fans complained about their favorite lines not being included in the first video. The creator happily obliged by creating a second video of the greatest wire quotes.

Tales from the Crypt is an American horror anthology television series that ran from 1989 to 1996 on HBO. Being on HBO allowed it to have full freedom from censorship. HBO allowed the series to contain graphic violence as well as other content that had not appeared in most television series up to that time, such as profanity, gore, nudity and sexual situations.
The series was primarily horror but there were bits of comedy thrown in with the Crypt Keeper acting as a smart ass zombie host. Enjoy Cinemassacre‘s Countdown of the Top 10 Tales From The Crypt Episodes.
