Okay, that was pretty good. There’s life in AVClub writing yet.

“...Ethan Hawke swooped onto our gloved arm to set the story straight.”

Heat Miser won the war!

Or the song about the Heat Miser, who wants to rid the world of snow and cold, thus ruining Christmas (well, in the Northern Hemisphere anyway, the Aussies have always had it as a summer holiday). Of course that possibility isn’t quite so implausible these days.

There was a brief moment in a season of The Good Wife where he was a potential love interest for Christine Baranski's character but that never panned out. Kind of a shame and I wondered why they never pulled that trigger.

I’m overjoyed with the idea.  I hope Gunn really leans into the silliness of classic scifi Christmas Specials and has Mantis sing a song to the Avengers theme while super high on cocaine

He’s no Ted Raimi but he is not bad. He also does all of Rockets motion capture work.

Wonder if Gamora will appear at all...

Todd Gilchrist? More like Toc-c- Gilchrist! Aw, it’s just not the same.

This is true, but stand-up comedy is unique in that it requires you to buy into the comedian’s personality and thought processes significantly more than with a musician or a painter. It’s much harder to separate the artist from the art when so much of the art is the artist.

It also proves that it was nothing but crocodile tears for himself during his speech. If he felt actual remorse, he’d have left.

Ah, but it would have been great television.

I have to explain to people that, “no, Deliverance is in no way what life for me was like. That’s crazy.” I always set em in straight and tell em, “Why would we be raping strangers when we have perfectly fine sisters back at home?”

Damn, sorry that had to go out on a slideshow (and that you’ve been forced out in the first place), but this was a magnificent way to do it. I love/hate the irony of the closing line being “I still hate making slideshows, though” and then the next thing (after an ad of course) being “Check out our other slideshows!”

Damn, am I really gonna have to pony up $50 a year to read Vulture? Where are we all headed to?

You say their DVD-by-mail selection was impressive and they would arrive in a day or two.

Oh. My. God.

I’m not an in-joke! I’m a human being!

Me think me speak for many, many readers when me say writers who keep this site going in future not really issue, as this is last time me will click on site that me loved for so many years. G/O has destroyed beloved cultural institution — gutting this site akin to bulldozing Sesame Street, and me for one not would be…

Had to work the earnest farewells in somewhere!
