I think informally, YA tends to be used as a vague genre descriptor more than a strict category.

One of the issues might have been that they didn’t want to pay anyone residuals.

I’m increasingly getting the impression that the heads of the studios would rather just get out of the whole entertainment business entirely and move into something more reliable like furniture wholesale

These unions that are striking need to add an additional clause now that projects that are already completed either need to be released on streaming or they need to be released to the public for free but just taking a completed project like Spiderwick Chronicles or Batgirl and just erasing them from existence is…

In total, these changes contribute to the film dragging on approximately 45 minutes longer than the animated version, adding almost nothing but protracted tedium

I encountered the Bojack Horseman parody first, then saw this unknown actress give a grounded and wonderful performance in a stellar film called The Farewell, then had the horror of enduring the movie Shang Chi and discovering there was a ‘comedian’ I was unaware of whom Bojack Horseman clearly parodying and she gave…

This is the second reference to Troy Mclure’s sexual proclivities I’ve seen on this site in two days, and I’m here for it.

The hyper-realism stuff is so bad. People remember the cartoon versions because they have distinct looks and can emote in fun, cartoony ways. These are just literally photorealistic animals and you can do almost nothing with them.

I saw it all and mostly liked it but I can totally see why a lot of people bailed. Those first three or four episodes were slow as hell. And because of the weird way that Amazon only owns some very specific rights to a bunch of ancillary parts of Lord of the Rings lore, the superfans didn’t like it because it changed…

This. It’s punishment for the sake of punishment at this point. It’s completely divorced from Will Smith actually growing, atoning, or reconciling with Chris Rock now.

He’s obviously just “being punished” at this point. It’s not like he’s some maniac with a history of violence that they’re afraid to have in a room.

Cry me a river. I’ve been using the msg boards and the internet for almost 30 years and have been bombarded by white people dropping the hard R when referring to people with my skin color.

Regarding the statement, again your privilege is showing. A house n-word, as defined by Malcolm X, is the slave who imagines…

not sure what your problem is with an actor having preferences about what they like to watch. do you need a nap? are you just that special kind of dumbfuck that seems like they’ll die if they don’t complain out loud for others to hear every five minutes like some kind of embarrassing negativity-fueled shark?

I had alopecia for years and it was way easier for me to just shave my head than for a woman. I never pretended I had it as bad as a woman with alopecia. That aside, Chris Rock made a whole documentary called Good Hair about issues around Black-American women’s hair, which discussed why it’s problematic to make these…

It was also the latest in a years-long series of digs he has taken at her in public. Apparently related to him not liking her overstepping boundaries about a hosting gig? If what I’ve read is correct, she shouldn’t have pressured him about his employment. That’s shitty. On the other hand, the appropriate response on…

It’s weirder to me that everyone blames Jada for the actions of her husband, as if her sketchy infidelity FORCED him to attack another person in public. 

“dude told a shitty joke about GI Jane.”

Fair. I mostly agree. I just usually see more condemnation of Smith and not a whole lot of recognition of Rock’s passive-aggressive shit. The weak GI Jane joke was not the first time he’s thrown a cheap dig at her.

Seriously, what is up with conservative posts here? Is it one guy with 12 accounts or did AVClub say something nice about Mindy Kaling and bring them here?

What happens in the Smith marriage is none of Chris Rock’s fucking business. And it’s fun sexism to act aggrieved on Will’s behalf.
