Glad someone mentioned Acaster. I’m a tiny bit conflicted about whether such a list should include CLHM1999 or Acaster’s 4-part Netflix special. Gonna go w/ CLHM, if only because of the ‘brave little cis boy’ bit.

Jim Jeffries too. His gun control rant is epic and part of a really strong set.

Fair enough. Now if you’ll excuse me, that cloud’s not going to yell at itself...

There are actual problems with this show. There are actual things that a skilled critic could address. There are actual plot issues, pace issues, dialogue issues, theme issues.
Which makes it all the more infuriating when Barsanti ignores them to make complaints that demonstrate his complete lack of media literacy:

“Didn’t Cavill basically leave because they had no interest in or respect for the books and their author?”

The ending is just a misdirect. Mal’s token was the top. Cobb’s was a dice. The top would not have been his indication whether he was still in the dream or not.

As I said upthread: set your phasers to twee.

I haven’t seen NHIE, and had no idea his accent was fake. This reminds me of when I found out James Marsters was American. 

despite my issues with Scientology and the man personally, i think ‘Magnolia’ should’ve really dismissed the idea that he plays one role

i will say this was a nice, informative, not-too-cheeky-or-sarcastic article i’d like to see more of.

“Not to mention the tidal wave of projects going in and out of the few visual effects houses not being pilloried by Marvel’s pixel-obsessed requests.”

For better or worse, its “proper” ratio is 4:3. (Which is not the same thing as Pan and Scan). As stated elsewhere it as filmed in a wider ratio simply because that how most available film stock was produced, not because it was ever intended to be seen that way. If they did remaster the show using the wider film…

This is the closest to real journalism as the AV Club has done in a while.

Having dedicated most of his career to this space, Simon has a far, far more extensive understanding of this complex issue than you.

Regardless, the decision to perform the song wearing dark face paint was ill-advised,

An R rated Star Wars ripoff made by Zack Snyder, you say?

FYI: The Dr Emilio Lizardo (account: paging-doctor-parody) imposter account posting here in this thread is NOT the …

You ever get trapped in a social situation with someone who is attempting to tell a joke, and everyone is waiting for the punchline, and it keeps not coming, and the guy starts doing stupid voices and exaggerated facial expressions trying to sell the comedy his story isn't generating, and it just goes on and on until…

Yeah again the grade was too low. Really digging the slow build and reveals. Everyone is nailing the acting.
