Hilariously not bothering to learn any of his biography might have had something to do with that.

@squillaboxer:disqus Yeah I mean there's always gonna be some degree of micromanaging in both, but auteur theory always put screenwriters in the backseat and these days there's fewer and fewer originals scripts being produced. Given the choice, I'd much rather work for television if I'm a writer.

Unacceptable. Apologize, Psy!

If you're in NYC, I was talking to a bartender at this place called Penrose on the UES and he just made it for me, having himself just learned it from a bartender at Milk and Honey, on the LES. Outside of these two places, I think it's a pretty well kept secret. But having gotten the ingredients out of him and…

Do you still use bitters? I like a single sugar cube, couple drops of water, drown that shit in angostura bitters to the point where it barely needs to be muddled at all, rye (I really like Bulleit or Redemption), and a lemon peel.

Oh bullshit, none of those titles would qualify. Look, I'm glad Rabin can squeeze another book deal out of this, but this term is applied way too liberally and tends to suffer from a lot of confirmation bias. All three of the female leads in those movies had agency and legitimate psychological/social disorders: social…

Oh but c'mon, the 70s are probably the best time in populist American filmmaking: All the President's Men, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Network, et al. Shit, Eastwood made maybe my favorite populist statement after the sludge of Dirty Harry (for such a "Shoot 'em all and let God sort 'em out" film it sure was…

Oh I dunno, in what sense? Great populist films? I genuinely tried to think of some so this comment wouldn't seem so negative, but I literally cannot think of a single American film in the 21st Century thoughtfully examining mass unrest. It sucks, but it's the truth. The best I can do is say Pixar films embody a…

"Family Guy already did "Bitch Hunter"?"
Probably, just not ironically.

@avclub-0f2a88b3b0df4b2cca4df1e6c67af432:disqus A-fucking-men. And so damn cynical, too. It looks like it was made by a bunch of execs who basically went: What's critically lauded? Those talking head things? Boom! Throw 'em in there! Is it a documentary? Who gives a fuck! What is this, a coherent creative vision? Like…
