Primer. Also, Moon.

No no, he said sci-fi movies where the ending was good, not sci-fi movies that were awful from start to finish.

The final act of Sunshine was excellent, I don't understand its criticism. People try to make connections so much that they just convinced themselves it was like a slasher flick instead of focusing on the character himself and what he represented, and how that tied in with the rest of the plot.

You really had to say delta instead of difference?

How have I never heard of this band? I've lived in Kansas most of my life, and lived in Lawrence for 4 years. Why do I have to find out about one of the few interesting things from my state through the AV Club?

This was unequivocally the worst episode of this season, and the only one I can say was legitimately bad. Other episodes didn't feel quite the same as "Community Classic," but they were still of higher quality than 99% of other shows on TV right now. But this episode was just terrible. None of the jokes were funny,…

Finally, an avenue for my Huxley/Darwin slash fiction!

This disappoints me. As a geology student, I think the feud between Cope and Marsh is very interesting and would make for a great drama, but this sounds like a complete waste of a unique historical event.

So this article is just about how some people say some overly critical stuff for no good reason and they should just be cool? THAT seems like hours of quality time that you spent writing this, Mr. Rabin!

JP3 at least got the feathers more correct on the velociraptors, even if the velociraptors were still WAY too big.

I think that was marketing spin or a PR line, because it doesn't sound good if you say "I loved Jurassic Park! The two other two sucked balls, but the first one was great!"

I remember watching reruns of this when I was little, and my mom, who was a huge SNL and SCTV fan, was trying to explain where the character came from, and was originally live action, and my little mind could not comprehend that. You mean a cartoon used to be REAL? Can other cartoons become real? Could *I* become a…

I did, too! Not even necessarily during scenes that were overtly emotional or significant, it just painted this complete picture and tone that linked everything together in a kind of abstract way. I was surprised sometimes when I found myself crying.

Yeah, you're probably right. It used a climate change induced Katrina styled disaster as a sort of backdrop, but it didn't want to make any sort of point out of it. It kind of just existed to exist, in a purely artistic sense, and those kinds of movies don't win awards.

I don't know exactly what qualifies for an Independent Spirit nomination or win, but I just watched Beasts of the Southern Wild last night, and that movie was almost indescribable in how it evoked this completely visceral emotion out of the experience, the way The Tree of Life tried really hard to, but ultimately…

I'm sure I'm the hundredth person to say this, but this concept sounds very Lovecraftian, particularly like At the Mountains of Madness with the icy setting. That may or may not get me excited. That depends on if Del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness movie ever gets made…

Can someone tell me why several shots were obviously shot on a green screen? Specifically one of the times Jenna makes an announcement in the writers' room and the scene with Conan O'Brien in the elevator. Is this a weird call back to the green screen joke in the last episode?

Nah, only once. They reunited for some shows last year, which, as Omar put it, was basically just for the money. Stay classy, Omar.

@avclub-734ffb84cfa214922893511fae356b45:disqus So you managed to stay awake? What were you doing that I didn't?

There has never been a band with as much talent as The Mars Volta that wasted it as completely as they did. I still think De-Loused In the Commatorium borders on being a great album, and The Widow from Frances the Mute is an amazing song, but otherwise they were ridiculously boring and full of themselves.
