Paul Feig, Kristin Wiig and Melissa McCarthy are all pretty beloved by the site, and their movies are usually very kindly received round these parts.

The new movie is going to be a mediocre comedy worthy of watching on a rainy day while it's on repeat on Comedy Central, like nearly every other big summer comedy. No one things you're a mysoginist (sic) because you don't like the trailer, people know you're a mysoginist (sic) because you are so vehiminautely, angrily

Maybe they just don't give a shit about funding all of those unnecessary computers that keep people alive? Actually, yeah, that is probably exactly what it is.

My dad works IT for a hospital group, and they absolutely are not sitting on bales of money. Every year the local hospital chains are merging and buying each other out because there is no money to be had staying independent. At least according to my dad, everyone he works with is very pro ACA because the cost of

What I don't get, and what I'm sure someone far smarter than I could explain, is why big business isn't lobbying for single payer reform for that exact reason. The cost of insuring employees is killing companies, yet their CEOs are happy to fight tooth and nail to make sure that expense stays on their ledger. If you

Devil's Advocate case would be that certain "necessities", such as homes and cars, are impossible to purchase with cash on hand to nearly all of the population. To allow neighborhoods to flourish and people to drive to jobs, credit is needed to boost these items. If credit is lent but never enforced to be returned,

Humans are shitty, no matter their geographic location. Americans have just been programmed from birth to believe that helping those worse off is somehow treason. The awful people in the rest of the world understand that healthcare is a necessity, even if they hate some of the fuckers they have to share space with.

I've never read the comics, but after slogging through the show for far too long, I have to assume the comics have to be better by default.

Shake drinkers of the world unite

Nearly every article that mentions a musical act gets a bunch of "Who?!" comments, followed by a bunch of virtual high fives for also not knowing who the fuck this underground douche bag is. This is a pop culture website, where people have amazing conversations about avant garde and independent cinema, and where Garth

The term "click-bait" is thrown around way too much. It's usually used as an ad hoc diss because someone didn't like the content of the article, or thought that the topic was too purposefully provocative. What the term should refer to is articles with those bullshit headlines that force you to click on the topic just

Only because his tiny fingers aren't capable of pushing it.

I'm sure the answer is "no, of course not," but also, who really cares about the opinion of people with such poor taste?

That's completely unfair. Nothing would ever be able to pass that metric.

Adam Lazzara looks like a former child star that got really awkward looking as he aged.

Dashboard Confessional's entire career is a result of Alkaline Trio's "Sorry About That."

Sam Smith is the Wal-Mart, direct-to-DVD rip off of James Blake.

In your defense, it would help if the AV Club had any semblance of the regular music coverage it used to have. But still, it is odd how proudly ignorant people are about music at a pop culture website. I can't imagine the same comment being tolerated in every single article about a movie that was only barely out of

He smuggles a small child with daddy issues to South America as a replacement for his wife.

I love animals more than people of any color, but especially more than white people, if that helps.
