Because other people still watch it.

Give the film to Luna/Reyes then. He’s too good to go to waste like this

Jesse Eisenberg: “Hey guys, what’s going on?”

I like the way you think.

Can someone explain to me how this is a bad thing for people who ostensibly hate TBBT?

The Times interestingly reports that while Phoenix did this frequently with some actors, he never once fell to pieces while shooting with Robert De Niro, suggesting that while the actor might have been giving into some deep psychological need to withdraw, he was more than capable of pulling himself together when…

It’s extremely frustrating how if anyone takes any stance on firearms other than completely unfettered access to every firearm ever conceived, you are “ANTI-GUN.”

Because they need a snarky angle! If they just reposted other sites’ news without being snarky, it just wouldn’t be the A.V. Club.

That’s too bad, because the last several years of Netflix releasing seasons all at once has proved definitively that, at least for viewers, there’s basically no upside. The only advantage it gives is that you don’t have to wait. Meanwhile, the downsides:

The unwillingness to be an asshole to someone is not moral cowardice. You’re allowed to believe something without being willing to rub your beliefs in someone else’s face. It’s often preferable, actually. 

It’s an interesting point you make about 80s and 90s TV emphasizing the importance of being “normal” to kids, especially since nowadays it’s the complete opposite, where the subtext of seemingly every show is that it’s ok to be a nerd/gay/a different gender/an ethnic minority/a non-Christian religion/etc. Obviously…

Lots or non-nerdy people were into Star Wars. But the nerds were the ones really into Star Wars. A hallmark of nerd culture is diving in obsessively to a particular fandom. “Normal” people watched the movies and maybe had the action figures when they were a kid, but they didn’t read the EU books or buy every single…

Oh yea I’m not arguing that sleeping with a subordinate is right, or even that Whedon is a good guy. But I think when we have sexual misconduct discussions, we sometimes forget to consider the degree of the misconduct. Whedon’s misconduct isn’t even illegal, where, if Hardwick is guilty (and I’m not saying he is),…

I hope you rewatch Age of Ultron a million times.

Someone in Hollywood cheated on their spouse? This has shaken my faith to its very core!

Okay, you’ve convinced me to reserve judgment until at least the show airs.

True, but I think his depiction of Inara was a sex-positive one, even if Mal calling her a “whore” was degrading. Hopefully, this will be another sex-worker-positive character, even in the Victorian age.

I will only see this if they recast Will Smith with Dan Castellaneta, as is customary on these sorts of things. 

It wasn’t even 5 minutes. And really my issue is more that the whole thing lacked catharsis. Having Coulson Rider take her out just didn’t have much satisfaction behind it compared to some other villain defeats.
