This is an incredible man who's doing an incredible thing and seems to be facing death with incredible dignity, but reading this headline taught me no matter how sober the circumstances, I will never read Sam Simon's name and not picture him as this:

@avclub-884c4beddd8c98bb3b016bdfcc1bcdf8:disqus I'm not saying there's something wrong with you if a vagina is a make or break thing in a relationship (and OitNB does address this with Sophia's wife, who struggles with losing the penis), the conversation that makes me rub my temples is conflating the sexual…

Yeah I hear ya, but I think doing a Kickstarter or subscription model is being prepared for the possibility and making any effort within your control to avoid it.

I don't understand how the lesson you took away from "Perhaps the most celebrated, influential composer and bluesman of the 20th Century had to get by with devoting a significant amount of their time to a completely unrelated profession," is "See? This is how things should be."

Same! Take the Money and Run is in that rare class of comedy that is hysterical when you're 7 and just as funny when you're 27. The cello scene was the big seller for me as well.

Haha, evidently. Honestly, I came back because I was curious to see if they'd edited the article (still haven't), so I fired off a Kanye while I was here.

@avclub-da518aecddbf5c94588f53562012c452:disqus Ah I see, that's a different distinction than I thought you were originally making. Yes, we'll just have to agree to disagree. And for the record I'm very concerned with these issues beyond intellectual fodder.

The AV Club doesn't care about journalistic responsibility.

@avclub-da518aecddbf5c94588f53562012c452:disqus That's a semantic distinction in my mind, so I'm happy to leave it at that if such distinctions matter to you.

It probably warrants a correction that other video shows he didn't swing at him with a closed fist. Saying physical altercation would probably be the journalistically responsible thing to do.

I think he's the greatest American filmmaker ever, so Kubrick and Lynch approach him as far as I'm concerned. But there's no reason to believe he'd make better films at a slower pace, possibly the opposite. His most celebrated work was done at the same rate (and during his golden era mid-80s to early 90s he was going…

@avclub-da518aecddbf5c94588f53562012c452:disqus Look, let's try this another way. I would say the U.S. criminal justice system is racist. That doesn't mean it literally hates blacks and latinos (it doesn't "feel" anything) and it doesn't mean white people don't get persecuted under it as well. Individual judges and…

@avclub-da518aecddbf5c94588f53562012c452:disqus I didn't use it interchangeably, I said Muslims and Arabs, which is inherently not using it interchangeably. Please read more carefully before accusing me of racism. The point is that persecution of Muslims is tied up in anti-Arab sentiment just as persecution of Jews…

@avclub-c98389ee0e2ffdf95aee68056eca9a37:disqus "First off, race is not even involved, it is religion that is involved, lets get that straight, as one can be either Muslim or Jewish and be any race."

@avclub-c98389ee0e2ffdf95aee68056eca9a37:disqus Subjecting Muslims to a Jewish state against their will is racist and colonialist. Outside of the self-described Zionist that respects Palestinian autonomy (that I accounted for and respected in my original comment) this is what I object to. Would you like to argue…

I think his approach is perfectly appropriate for Talking Dead (it's a zombie show, fanboy it up), but he better take the enthusiasm way the fuck down for Talking Bad and let the conversations unfold at a leisurely, thoughtful pace. In other words, I better get some Rian Johnson mise-en-scene, bitch.

@avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus You're describing the anti-semitic take on Zionism, that global conspiracy bent is not a reflection of mainstream criticism of the ideology in which it's used as a pejorative.

Well in the broadest terms, Zionism is defined as a fairly benign thing: a Jewish state for Jews to return to. Conceivably this can mean a respect for Palestinian sovereignty and in rare instances I've seen Pro-Palestinian Jews describe themselves as Zionists. I think it's strange but if the "ism" makes you happy, go…

You forgot to say away, again.

@avclub-9faa8bdc4a84b8217726cb1bfb903baf:disqus Well first Joe Wilson wasn't a classic whistleblower, that's not analogous at all. He wrote an op-ed based in part on his work as a diplomat, but he didn't leak any classified information, didn't access any information not readily available to any reasonably intrepid…
