Life is too short for four seasons of Eastbound & Down.

It’s all evil. Pure, unadulterated evil in the name of capitalism, privatization, greed, and profit.
I absolutely despised the Frank Grimes episode until about a decade later when I was older. That was genius.
Hey, how was the cave?
Counterpoint: Superfly is kind of a boring (but seminal) slog that is rescued by it’s soundtrack, setting and sartorial selections.
I get choked up in Major League, when I see how happy everyone in Cleveland is, just knowing what they’ve been through and how much it means to them.
Going the opposite direction, I had an uncontrollable fit of laughter in the theater at the end of Se7en. I couldn’t stop laughing when Brad Pitt started yelling “What’s in the box?”
I cried through the entire descent through the atmosphere in Gravity, that’s for dang sure. Big weepy sobs, not just tasteful tears. It was like some weird combination of emotional catharsis and “Holy Shit this is amazing!” So I totally get that one.
My favorite thing about Westworld is how it constantly reminds me of the better movies and shows I could be watching instead of Westworld.
Godard’s films have been turgid, willfully abstruse exercises in intellectual masturbation for decades. He’s by far the most irritating of all brilliant filmmakers.
I get the impression from their movies that Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone love each other, a lot, and that their misadventures onscreen will eventually be a way of them remembering the wacky things they got away with when they’re old and grey.
I generally try to avoid suggesting that other people get divorced for my own benefit, but I think Melissa McCarthy movies would be a lot funnier if they weren’t directed and co-written by Ben Falcone, and it seems the only way that will happen is if they split up.
I don’t agree with Seinfeld too often, but that was a great response. There are a lot of fields that get a bad rap for not being ‘productive to society’. The Arts is a big one. What people don’t realize is that the Arts is productive to society in a way that’s different from, say, Engineering, but nevertheless…
Much like Bill_M below, I also disagree. I also found it a lot easier to digest and more importantly, a lot funnier. For some reason, the new ‘flow’ and shortened episodes made it a lot more enjoyable.
I very much disagree. I’m through 16 of the episodes so far and though it doesn’t completely save some of the George Sr. and Lindsey plot points, breaking them up into smaller chunks makes it way easier to digest. It’s been a few years since I watched the original one but I’m finding myself cackling out loud quite a…
Having a big problem with the AV Club assessing anything as “lily white.” From its editorial staff to the acts it selects for AV Undercover and studio sessions, AV Club tends to skew pale. Hip hop gets lip service, and the live acts featured are more hipster-hop than anything else. This is a publication based in…
Somehow giving a Steve Hyden book a B- feels kind of ironic given how downhill music coverage on this site has gone since he left.
I’ve never understood the love for Duncan Jones, who has always struck me as a less talented Rian Johnson. Moon was forgettable, Source Code was a fun Quantum Leap episode, and the less said about Warcraft the better. Even Johnson wasn’t great at handling a mega-budget sci-fi epic, so I definitely don’t need to see…
You missed the woman’s AWESOME follow up. Bravo!
