Did anyone else go to a middle school with exactly those kinds of rumors floating around among the underclassmen. I was told all sorts of horrible tales of what would happen to me when I first stepped into I.S.24 in Staten Island, only a few of which turned out to be true. Holy fuck, I'm Old Brick.

I don't want to seem like the class brown noser, but if you'll part your cheeks for a bit let me just say: I really like your reviews. They are generally spot-on and you write with a humorous flair that reminds me of the original crew of AVClub reviewers (who I still dearly miss). For instance, last week's Low Winter S…

Charlie Day better have some specially composed theme music.

In a really weird way the gay-Mac/Gay-Country-Mac thing is one of the more realistic observations this show has made. In this day and age an out homosexual is actually fairly cool in that they are being open and honest with themselves and the world in the face of lingering built-in societal disapproval and is far, FAR…

It took a team of our best doctors hours to get the smile off his face

My wife works in health care with eyeball stuff. Her work stories would curl your pipe.

@avclub-717729ce391c20ef3e722c3e6ef79a58:disqus - thought they did use nukes in Red Storm but they were tactical (i.e small) nukes. I could be misremembering this, it's been like 20 years since I read it.

Yes. The directing is the other BLAH part of this movie. There's a good movie in there somewhere but the execution is horribly amaturish.

Yeah. I did not care for this movie. And Lindsay Crouse is kind of awful, acting wise.

Wouldn't it be nice If conservatives spent as much effort trying to craft their policy prescriptions to reality as they spent attempting to redefine reality.

Depends on the skin color of the lives they are destructing. Duh.

Hence the name change to Broadthighs.

Our small town folks are just as ignorant, but they're a whole lot prouder about it.

Sorry, nastytime has been discontinued until the US Department of Nastytime can reopen pending the government shutdown. The President suggests we Americans use or usual scheduled Nastytime to pray to Allah… OH WHAT A GIVEAWAY!

Award for longest time spend buffering goes to….

@avclub-4c37107b9dedb73b90f677930bf7728b:disqus - gosh it's been a long time since I read it. I'd say I should probably give it another read… but no.

@avclub-285c595717332b49cfb72d1d48a5a962:disqus  - When I was substitute teaching (don’t ask) at a small Missouri high school in the late 80s I heard a couple of kids talking about playing with their paint guns and how it would prepare them for the Soviet invasion, which they assured me was forthcoming sooner rather…

Personally, I really hated Red Storm Rising. It was like watching a grown man play with plastic army men. I read someone once complain that everyone in a Clancy book reacts to war like they're Audie Murphy (look him up, kids) and I think that's what bugs me. It's just so false and WW3 is painted as some thrilling…

Actually "the next step up from GI Joes" is perfect.

Hey Gjetost!
