The author wrote a review that would indicate a C-, but gave it an F.

No, that wasn't DW3. The girlfriend in DW3 gets blown up in a car. Adding to the insanity is Charles Bronson's reaction to her exploding car demise. I guess you can describe his reaction as being mildly annoyed? Like if you woke up early to go to the bank, got there, and saw a CLOSED sign on the door. Yup, 'mildly…

I think the best main character out of the three films, however, is Snake Plisskin. I've grown to love the character over the years, and of course, Kurt Russell. But Escape From New York was the first movie I can remember seeing, as a child, where I was absolutely convinced that the main character/hero was going to…

To paraphrase Roger Ebert, it sounds like someone smacking a Naugahyde couch with a ping pong paddle.

I wonder where Death Wish II will be on the 1982 list? Ebert famously gave it zero stars, but I like it. It's basically the whacked-out, Golan-Globus version of the original. It has its own unique integrity to it, plus a pretty killer soundtrack by Jimmy Page. And it certainly deserves honorable mention for…

Rocky III
Swamp Thing
The Dark Crystal
Cat People

Conan The Barbarian (which might win the 1982 History of Violence article)
Pink Floyd: The Wall

Technically, Mad Max 2 was released in Australia in 1981. Was renamed The Road Warrior for American release in 1982.

Cool, I've been meaning to see Outland, but with Alien in mind, it would a great way to watch it.

Very difficult to pick the best out of these three, but I would go with Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior. Has the greatest single sustained chase sequence in cinematic history, IMO. It really can't be duplicated in the modern era. Granted, Fury Road is amazing in and of itself, but there are certain CGI nips and tucks,…

You are a clever male. May I wax your taint while simultaneously fingering your asshole?

You just won the comment section. MAGA tip of the cap to you.

Let me ask you a rhetorical question:

Maybe Trump can solve your 99 problems?

This a very insightful comment. I am a longtime follower of this site, it's the second website listed in my Favorites. But many of the editorial decisions for this website seem to be slanting toward lowest common denominator, low hanging fruit, easy satire. At this point, even calling this a satirical website is a…

Okay, mate. Are you voting in the US Presidential election?

Oh boy. Nickelback, eh? Great analogy. You truly are a moron.

C'mon, Steve. Do your fucking homework. If you want to disagree with me on every single comment I've made on this website, that's your privilege. Just be honest about it and say, "I will disagree with Ya Dingus on everything he posts, only on the strict basis that he supports Donald Trump for President." Because…

Actual AV Club comment about me:

That's rather narrow minded of you to suggest that an individual that leans conservative, or is an independent, visits this website strictly for pushing a right-wing agenda. I have been a long time reader of the AV Club, for over 22 years. In print and digital format. I have as much of a right to post comments on…

When you know the agenda, you break away from the narrative.
