This is getting dire. There has to be something going on behind the scenes—mainstays like Phipps, Scobias, and Tasha have all left within the last couple of months. It can't be a coincidence.

But his movies don't engage with those feelings so much as wallow in them (in my opinion at least, and I know others feel the same way). Garden State's occasional stabs at profundity really amounted to nothing more than superficial dorm-room philosophizing. As for this new project, have you even read the description…

Fair enough, but then again, you're not asking people for money so that they can watch you do that.

Braff seems like a nice enough guy in real life, but all of his movies are the epitome of "rich white guy problems." Isn't this new one about a thirtysomething married man who's bummed about his life because he never got to be a space superhero or something? I mean, does that sound like a conflict that anyone gives a…

Dang, @avclub-f7dafc45da369f8581fdf3bd599075aa:disqus , you're on fire this afternoon.

Just the one. And I have superpowers! The vampirism is kind of a bummer, though.

I practically had a heart attack when I recognized half the landmarks in the trailer. This was filmed in my childhood hometown (Los Alamos, aka birthplace of the atomic bomb!). I used that overpass at 0:50 every day in high school.

"What really killed the dinosaurs?"

I should have revealed I was deafened by Bender,
The shame! The sha-ame!
But I feared you'd stop writing this musical splendor—
Deception's the curse of my whimsical gender!

Bubblegum Tate's inexplicable cruelty to Bender throughout that episode is my favorite aspect of it.

One of my favorite moments is when Bender starts to bust out his catchphrase on the Robot Devil, only to remember that he just traded a very important part of his anatomy to him, thus rendering the act impossible:

Classic Poe.

What gets me is, if Dan Savage said what @twitter-206346341:disqus just did,  people would be nodding sagely and applauding him for unsentimentally telling it like it is. All Thurston Moore would have to do is say that he wasn't getting enough sex from his wife and Dan Savage would say, "Well what you did isn't great,…

I've found his short fiction to be vastly superior to his long-form stuff. Gaiman's a great writer and has a hell of an imagination, but he has trouble sustaining narrative momentum for the length of a novel. His short stories and serialized stuff like Sandman are great because they let him create a world from…

Well, yeah. But the difference is, he knows it and has decided to play to his strengths. Cersei hasn't gotten it through her thick skull yet that she can't try to act like a Tywin and get anywhere with it. If she weren't so arrogant, she'd be looking to Littlefinger or the Queen of Thorns for pointers.

@avclub-9ce04591654645426079a7c2faa385e4:disqus Really? I don't remember that from the books. Where does that come up?

To be fair, any tattoo involving Thom Yorke's face would be The Worst.

Holy shit, I will PAY YOU for the fanfiction of Ben Wyatt vs. Patton Oswalt.

Agreed. Those pictures are all teetering perilously close to the edge of the Uncanny Valley. They made her look like a mannequin.
