See, I was going to bring those things up. Some of my favorite characters in comedy or any fiction are assholes. But there’s like a counterbalance in that they usually also get what’s coming to them in a hilarious manner. Because you shouldn’t actually be that kind of person.

But a dick streamer doesn’t have they. They…

iirc, even Trent ceded Johnny’s version as superior and basically said “It’s his now”. Yeah, here’s the direct quote: “Tears started welling up,” Reznor said. “I realized it wasn’t really my song anymore. It just gave me goose bumps up and down my spine. It’s an unbelievably powerful piece of work.”

Thor Almighty, Rich people can be sad too, dude. That aside, the family isn’t presented as that well off. Yes they have insurance, that doesn’t mean a child with depression isn’t worthy of empathy or sympathy.

Your take seems more like a superficial impression of the main character’s circumstances rather than what’s depicted in, y’know, the actual movie. I don’t an 11-yr old is going to be very cognizant of the fact that she’s moved to a very desirable piece of real estate, or much care if she was. Her new home is a tiny…

Defunding the police isn’t about anarchy: it’s about justice and harm reduction. Cops are much more likely to be domestic abusers. They don’t do shit about sexual assault cases. Their unions refuse any sort of meaningful oversight and consequences for egregious professional behavior and they actively pass around bad…

Wow, I would have guessed 30 years older! Holy cats.

Let me understand, you got the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So, who’s having sex with the hen?

This. Consider the abuse and disrespect Nina Turner and Briahna Joy Grey encounter everyday from Centrist zealots.

I find Kylo Ren interesting solely due to Driver’s performance and sheer magnetism. He’s acting in a much better film than everyone else, but he’s very watchable.

My only issue with The Mandalorian, and this is just a personal preference, is that it doesn’t build on anything from the previous episodes. Mando is tossed into a situation. We some guest cameo’s of the week and then they’re either killed off or we never see from them again. With the exception baby Yoda, which…

She should be able to trot around with her butt out at a family-friendly event; Americans could stand to be less prudish.

Also, Secular Talk and The Michael Brooks Show.

Rogan is, at the end of the day, a huckster and a grifter. Not everything he does is actively terrible, mind you.

Pretty much this. AVClub is just the snarkier, dumber younger sibling of NPR and NYT now. For this website to deny the existence of Chapo Trap House, Cum Town, and Joe fucking Rogan (amongst many others) is both ridiculous and clearly because these shows do not fit the political agenda of this site. See “affluent…

How did "How Did That Get Made?" get left off? I guess because it's only one pick per contributor sadly. WTF is still the grandaddy in my opinion, even though I haven't heard it in forever. 

I think this subtly minimizes the achievements of the movie a bit. In one sense I agree with what you’re saying, but there’s some nuance. Yes, I too was and am tired of CGI franchise fests with arching plots I could care less about, but I can recognize that group still has good films in it. Fury Road isn’t so good of…

No one has to like this movie, but it bums me out reading takes like this because it completely neglects what a poetic, rhythmic movie this is with such a strong economy of character and a rich mythology that Miller actually trusts the viewer to intuit instead of belabor in reams of exposition. It’s a supremely…

I wouldn’t call it my favorite movie of the decade either. Inside Llewyn Davis, Moonlight, and the Act of Killing were all in the top 25, and are all movies I love more. But as Dowd pointed out in the article, Fury Road ended up being a consensus pick, and I understand why. It has incredibly broad appeal. And the more…

I don’t want to overstate the obvious, but what worked in a pre-internet and, mostly, pre-24-hour news cycle very often does not apply to today. And trying to learn applicable lessons from any primary season prior to 1976 is...probably not a worthwhile pursuit.

Businessman and Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang pledged on Monday to support the eventual Democratic nominee, even if it is not him, ruling out a minor party or independent run.
