I’d rather be run over by that car than be inside it.

Your comment is a better review than the review. Thank you for providing some context and analysis that we (or at least I) would have missed otherwise.

How does this help test pens?

First of all, the former writers of AV Club aren’t striking, so no one who replaced them (or is working at the site now) is a “scab.” Evidently you don’t know what that word means. But why are you even visiting the site at all? Your support of whoever you loved doesn’t seem to have enough integrity for you not to give…

It’s a real fucking word though!!!

I thought he said the pilot was alright Spider.  No no, I thought YOU said you thought the pilot was alright Spider.  No no...

And I’ll throw this in as well.

The Abyss is possibly my favourite Cameron film, not just because it’s a technical marvel, but also because there are two different versions - very different versions - that more or less end the same way.

With Dave Chappelle the next host, the smelling salt expenditure at AV Club is going to be MASSIVE this week. Can’t wait!

Watching the Baz Luhrmann Elvis movie unironically do the “singer gets the audience riled up” scene from Walk Hard kind of broke my brain.

Walk Hard is so good it basically killed musical biopics. I was stunned the Queen movie actually had the balls to do all the clichés post Walk Hard.

I’m really excited for this.
