Why does Jay-Z get accused of being Illuminati? This is a serious question. I have yet to hear a coherent argument about this. Yes he has had "demonic" images in some of his videos, but I think that was probably an artistic statement. And how exactly is Jay profitting from Occupy?

I'm sorry, but why does you thinking Amy Poehler isn't pretty enough to pull off being Adam Scott's girlfriend matter? What matters is if you can see the two characters together. Ben is a uber-nerd with a downplayed handsomeness and an awkward charm. Leslie is a bubbly, witty and determined woman. Yes, he may just

Drake has improved himself lyrically in a major way, but he still sounds the same on almost every track. His flow doesn't vary at all. The greats like Em and Jay-Z, and Biggie (R.I.P) knew how to mold their meter to the beat, Drake makes the beat mold to his delivery.

I'm not sure Mysterion was ever meant to be laughable. I would argue the opposite, that he is sort of revered and respected by the writers. As many have already pointed out here in the comments, Mysterion (Kenny) appearing to tell his sister she will be okay was one of the sweeter moments in the show's history. That

This episode confirmed for me the fact that the best stuff Family Guy puts out is the Brian/Stewie buddy episodes. They are the only characters for me that I have grown or developed in any way. Peter as protagonist doesn't work for me mostly because he can't get anymore despicable, stupid, naive, irresponsible without

An absolutely incredible episode of television with very little flaws (mostly Dana). I had considered Tom at the debrief, but from there was sucked into the fact that Carrie had to be right. This show has not only challenged the assumptions I have learned to make on a societal level, but on a narrative level as well.

Yes I know I said as much: "Even if Aileen is lying and they still don't have enough proof…"

That sure would be interested if Tom Walker was still kicking , but the promo also did that ominous shot where they pan to a defiant looking Brody after they said it. Bottom line? I hate previews.

I'm not pissed at them vaguely suggesting Saul might be a mole, because I was already suspect after how touchy, kissy and religiously tolerant he was. They seemed to put way too much emphasis on it. But I liked how they did subtly played with us here. If we suspected him last week, then let you question it some more.

Okay I thought I heard that, and it fits with the whole tolerance angle but it wasn't positive. But the kissing was a little much, no? Thank you though.

Just caught up on this as I was watching the Eagles kick Cowboy ass last night. Not only was this the best episode so far, but @avclub-7aee1b75b527e215f31e20a5c4e7a768:disqus  is correct that now that Breaking Bad is off the air it is assuredly the best show running.

I agree with @avclub-7aee1b75b527e215f31e20a5c4e7a768:disqus  and @avclub-977cf54e52109b5b2795406737cf36d4:disqus that it was probablyly to showcase his tolerance despite his profession, (they almost laid the tolerance angle a little too thick maybe with him having an Indian wife) but they did focus in on the

Really? That makes no sense to me. I could understand grading someone on their own scale, like this isn't your best work, you get a C because you coasted. BUt matching your best work drops you two letter grades? I think you would be the most hated professor.

True. Like I said, I haven't played the game so I can't comment on any progress that was made, but yeah an A- or MAYBE a B+ would seem warranted based on his criticisms. If he thought it was shitty then say it's shitty dude, don't give bullshit excusing like "there was that one time I rolled into a dude and I wanted

I'm going to assume you're being ironic because that is warped logic. If my professor gave me a C on a term paper because I hadn't become a better writer since my last paper, only making an equally effective argument, I would be friggin' outraged. If you are just making a joke, then well played sir.

Oh, you actually READ reviews? If it doesn't have moving pictures I make snap judgments based on  preconceived notions. Who critically reads anymore?

So, basically, this game didn't improve on its last installment so therefore it goes down two full letter grades? In his last review, he mentioned NOTHING about its game mechanics. And to be honest, from what he is describing, doesn't that happen with most games (you intend to do something and it does something else

We can thank Ice Cube for one of the go-to punchlines on Sportscenter. "Messed around and got a triple double," is forever immortalized on NBA highlights.

I was more referring to press or AV Club writers. Commenters on the internet do not create hype for a movie on a mass scale. But hey man, everyone's entitled. I'm cautiously optimistic too. I'm just saying my caution is coming from the fact that it is a tall order to do a movie about slavery without seeming preachy.

Edited. Thank you good citizen.
