It can be two things.

Sometimes it feels like the AV Club is the only web site left, with an open and active comments section, that's not yet been infected by that plague. Even the comments in the friggin' leftist Guardian devolve into a right-wing circle jerk within minutes.

Also known as "Regina-Spektor-esque"…

If I understand this trailer correctly, the film is about a man lying facedown on a mattress, dreaming of Thor's girlfriend stuck in a sepia-tinged nightmare.

Plus, I don't even wanna know, how often characters said "Uh huh" or "Yeah" on the show.

Whatever they do with Gilda, I hope they don't kill her off. I think, I'm kinda in love with her.

It's not the first time. One episode of Veronica Mars ended its pre-credits teaser with "We used to be friends, a long time ago." Cue music: "A long time ago, we used to be friends."

No, no, it's Germany's Nazi heritage, that makes us participate in War on Terror operations ever so reluctantly (or not at all). But it's also not unrealistic, when a CIA man like Saul doesn't have much patience for this perceived undecisiveness, nor that an organisation like the BND has far less interest for any

Saul Berenson and that unlikable lady played by Miranda Otto already expressed how annoyed the are by those reluctant Germans. Seems completely in line with their characters and their professions. And that German reluctance is indeed tied to our history, especially Nazism and WW2. So, as a German myself, I don't see

That's just silly. It's a spy thriller, not a kitchen table drama. In that way, the representation of the USA in most American shows (even the good ones) is equally inaccurate, as well as the representation of Germany in most German shows. This is a show, where once a pacemaker was hacked, for Chist's sake! What do

Surprisingly, all the German stuff this season has felt more or less right, so far, considering it's written exclusively by Americans.

Who needs Jack Shephard, when you can have Arzt?

She's an incredibly talented actress AND a smart, eloquent interview partner? Way to pile on the skills, God!

Meh! Deschanel definitely got better at this, and I like Jess alright, but she's still the least interesting character on that show.
Wait a minute… oh sorry, I got fooled by those bangs.

And as another German speaker, I'm amused by the translation: "This is crazy, you friggin mofos." It's almost literal. Almost.

There's a lot of German here, that doesn't get subtitled, which must be a conscious choice by the producers. I wonder how they decide, what to keep unintelligible for non-German viewers?

With names like "Willie" and "Randi"…

I experienced Victoria quite differently. For me, the single take improved what would have otherwise been an average movie tenfold. Not because it's a great technical achievement, but because it made it feel real. The absence of cuts, the impovised dialog in broken English, and yes, also the dead air in the slow

Either that, or right in time for the mid-season finale they'll realize they have to go back to the alien planet to find a very important thingamabob, so they'll sweep together the monolith dust, open the portal, and Simmons will play the reluctant tour guide.

So, where is my The Fall Guy reboot? I don't think, the original has yet explored all the possible things a pickup truck can jump over.
