If the ultimatum is “insulate yourself against the disease that you’ll be spreading so that you don’t pass it to me”, sure they are.

That may have been the point where I finally admitted to myself that despite all my best efforts I really, really don’t like Steve Carrell movies one bit. He’s like all the worst parts of Robin Williams in mopey mode all the time.

“Liza is shadowed throughout the film by a corporeal manifestation of her inner child...”

This does not sound good.

An outbreak of Nathan Rabin? Alert the authorities!

No, but Gayatri Spivak is the featured speaker on Day 2!

In fairness, singing Pat Benatar is the kind of indie authenticity whose story can only be told in an oral history

Angourie Rice’s singing did not play as large a part in this show as I was led to believe.

I really don’t get how a tidier resolution is more satisfying. Erin died because:

Tomorrow on the AVClub:

“How to Move Forward in a Post-Mare of Easttown World,” by special guest columnist Angourie Rice(‘s agent).

So wearing a sweatshirt, being assertive, and liking sports makes a woman gay?

Yeah I don’t mind making fun of Mark Ruffalo, or making jokes about Israel’s treatment of Palestine that have some bite to them, I was just really taken aback by how quickly the article veered into incredibly harsh moralizing. Like listing as evidence that Ruffalo is complicit in the US war machine that he... said…

What the fuck is this tone in this article? Like, it’s one thing to parse his public statements on this issue and judge whether or not you think he’s appropriately critical of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians (fucking weird for an entertainment website to decide that that’s their role, but ok!), but invoking a…

Oddly enough the definitely-not-spon-con related to this seems to have disappeared over the past two weeks. 

“DJ Anne is definitely a keeper, and telling Siobhan to go might be just the thing that makes her determined to stay.”

Errrr.... did the screener copy leave out the later scene where Siobhan had a meltdown (partly edible and booze fueled) when Anne seemed to be ghosting her (as much as you can be ghosted in just a…

I got an early glimpse at tomorrow’s feature article that is definitely not spon con:

I’ve always found it odd that Andy Dwyer plays a variety of $2,000+ Martin and Taylor guitars. This is especially true early in the series when it’s clear he doesn’t have much money.

I’m trying to wrap my head around the sight of Prince and Sinead O’Connor involved in a foot chase through L.A. in the middle of the night and NOT have “Yakety Sax” play in my head when I do.

This person needs a lot of attention.

By all means, good for her for coming out, but Demi just gives me the feeling of that type of person who jumps on every single new identity / crisis as if it’s a new fad to be a part of.
