Jenna's intent isn't solely to hurt Lacey's feelings. There's a lot of frustration behind Jenna's comments, but she herself has to emotionally deal with the prospect of her parents divorcing, all while being helpless to stop it.

I don't even know that JGL is that terrific. I'm always sympathetic to his characters, but he doesn't give them added depth or distinction. I wish he had some recognizable idiosyncrasies or displayed more range before I could agree that he has true talent.

I thought The Sitter was enjoyable. The marketing implied that the movie would just feature Jonah Hill playing the man-child who lives with his mom, but he actually shows a surprising amount of assertiveness and empathy which gives his character an earned complexity. It's not interesting enough that I'd call it a…

The ending with Louis laughing to himself out in the middle of the ocean was initially a little difficult for me to read, but after a rewatch I now view it as a sign that he's achieved some closure. 
At his father's doorstep, Louis fully confronted the reality of letting him back into his life, and in that moment of…

@avclub-33c07d594bde6f6889e135ac36a2b8d5:disqus  Every player has always been a mercenary. I'm only telling the story of how it took some truly crappy signings to drive the point home. Gonzalez is arguably integrating with the team, but Crawford and Lackey are expensive loafs who make it impossible to see them as…

Baseball - being the one major sport without the salary cap - does have a problem with salaries interfering with fandom, in my opinion. I used to be a fierce Red Sox fan, but after Epstein's late-period free agent splurges I had to throw up my hands and walk away. Am I rooting for a team that represents the tradition…
