@avclub-8f1938368ef55281b0d75a2d426450c8:disqus Yes, the ensuing bandwagon cause célèbre and massive worldwide protests over their incarceration certainly proved how gosh darned alienating such street theater can be.

Zzzzz, God damn I'm bored with your ilk. The status quo is justified because it's the status quo and people are wrong to want to change the status quo because they didn't, in this moment of history, change the status quo. Ku-fucking-dos. I can't even work up the intellectual acrimony to be offended by such a banal…

@avclub-d0dfbf82a0232e4c63faf5016c25b7d5:disqus Civil disobedience? Yeah, I think some people have used it to varying success. Has writing a catchy pop song? Not so fucking sure.

That's not what Pussy Riot is. They're not an actual band looking to gig and record and spread a message. It's street theater, spontaneous happenings to disrupt the oppressive institutions that anyone can join into, musical ability optional. Making it "pretty" defeats the point of what they're trying to do.

Something like this, hopefully?

Racked! Ah, well that'll teach me to stay up for the article.

Worked for Hoover.

Kurt I'll grant you was undeveloped (though which client besides Conrad Hilton was ever treated as anything beside a conflict device?), but in addition to his homosexuality was defined as the entitled inheritance to his father's company.

Nice bit of subtle acting on Jon Hamm's part: You could see him realizing that Ted had put way more thought into this juice dilema than he had and turned it into a fake bargaining chip. Interesting call back to when Peggy said Ted only wants the best idea and Don says he's competitive, too. There's been a pattern of…

"I really really hope Bob Benson isn't gay. It will be the lamest twist to assume he's been so eager to please because he's been looking for a way to find a man to please."
A) Bob Benson absolutely is gay or bisexual.
B) He's still eager to please to get ahead in the business. Gay men are not exclusively motivated by an…

At the very least she'll learn to knock louder before entering a room.

Nice use of hirsute.

I was so fucking confident the build up was to the doorman getting fired over Sally breaking in, and blah blah blah she's rapt with guilt. Nice fake out, Mad Men.

Damn right!

Hey I didn't say anything about the first one! When's the last time you watched the second start to finish? Because I thought I liked it too until rewatching and remembering what a meandering, batshit crazy mess it is outside of the Death stuff.

Pretty sure the middle class complain and get high just as much, if not more, than the poor. They just have less cause to.

The whole Seventh Seal parody is unequivocally hilarious and more than justifies the entire existence of that movie.

It's one of the great disparities of absolutely brilliant performance in an absolutely terrible film.

So it takes place in America?

Yeah, I dunno, there's a part of me that thinks your average film critic shouldn't be reviewing these sort of unapologetically political documentaries. They just don't have the same goals. Just as a literary critic probably shouldn't be reviewing a current affairs nonfiction (unless you're someone like Christopher…
