I second that notion.

What is with the AV Club's recent tendency for summing up the critical consensus regarding a movie on their own terms based on their own reviews? Most critics liked this dumb panda nonsense, and I demand that we acknowledge that harsh reality.

"Hold it with your holy hands."

I feel the exact same way. I'm shocked that the response has been so divided because I absolutely loved it back when it aired.

These kind of reviews baffle me. I loved every second of this series (aside from the ending, which I could take or leave).

Exactly. Being queer is almost necessary in order to understand just how incredible their relationship is.

I've never been a huge fan of I'm Not There, but yes, objectively, Carol and Safe are better films. According to me, at least.

Carol is better than all of the other nominees, barely edging out Fury Road.

Carol's omission from the Best Picture category is one of the most egregious missteps in the history of these awards. For all of the reasons stated above, it's one of the most vital piece of LGBT filmmaking ever, and the fact that Haynes was able to make anything that came even close to his film "Safe" warranted a…

The comment you replied to had nothing to do with Dunst. We get what you think of the whole thing. Thanks for the fifteen different iterations of your opinion.

No, I don't. At all. And I didn't say that, nor did I imply it. All I'm saying is, if we're going to be acknowledging the work of newcomers who did better than they were expected to, the entirely irrelevant Golden Globes would be the place to do it. In her case, she made this piece of shit show mildly enjoyable to…

Contrary to what most of these commenters would tell you as they can't see past her being a pop star, yes, Lady Gaga is good on this show. She's obviously a new actress and there are times where that shows, but she's great in individual moments.

Yes, yes, Fargo is a great series and Dunst was great and everybody's angry over an irrelevant awards show. I'm just not furious about it. If Jean Smart had been up for it instead, I'd be right there with you.

I wish they'd put that bit at the beginning of the episode and ended with Liz's material instead (although, I have to admit; that last line about the guy's jaw worked for me).

Nah. This was a B+, at least. The second I heard the opening line, I knew it would end up being the theme of this review. They basically handed the skeleton of a mediocre write-up to reviewers. I really can't disagree with any of the issues raised here (although I find Gaga's performance much more interesting than…

So, they'll really just nominate any acclaimed actor/actress that happened to be in a bad movie for the attention, won't they?

…It's in no way derivative of Sirk's work. It references his style, but Carol is very much its own thing (and the whole "unparalleled critical acclaim" thing with Carol kind of differentiates it from Sirk's critical reputation during his career).

I've said this before, but Jean Smart should've been the one representing Fargo in that category.

I'm still baffled by these kinds of comments. I see it all the time on here and I really don't think any of the people mocking her even watched this season. She was the most interesting thing to happen on that show in years (which, yes, largely sucks) and she killed it pretty regularly.

No, it's not, but the outrage would seem more legitimate.
