Oliver Stone's JFK: a masterpiece of propaganda. I've seen it a dozen times and find it totally absorbing, knowing full well that the underlying conspiracy theory (the Jim Garrison version) is complete cuckoo-bananas bullshit.

As an Oberlin alum, I find this comment very offensive.

No opinion about the band, but I agree about that guy's statement. The headline should read "Oberlin man uses phrase 'blatantly appropriative' without irony or embarrassment."

I saw Cop Shoot Cop at the Sco in Oberlin, ca. 1991. True story!

Also, people need to stop saying "drive" a car. You drive horses and mules.

You reek of death, my friend…I salute you!

If the F just meant "really stupid," then sure. But it sounded depressing and shameful.

Confession: I totally would have watched this, if not for the AV Club's F.

Just get the fucking out, indeed.

Or eaten by a coyote.

This is the only sort of modeling I could do:

I thought GOT wanted to slide into my Doc Martens.

I was mesmerized by Arkham City, and took the time to get to 100%. Arkham Origins was exactly the same game, it seemed (minus Catwoman…booooo!), so I just finished the main quest (easily, because I knew all the little tricks from the older games), and called it a day.

1) I became a Doctor Who fan in the early 80s, with Tom Baker and Davison. I'd occasionally watch the B&W stuff, and it felt excruciatingly slow and boring (when I was a little kid, with a short attention span, perhaps). The Baker/Davison stuff felt just right, back then.

Sure, but classic Doctor Who tells a complete story in 2-3 hours (not one hour, like a typical older drama), so there's a lot more filler, where nothing much happens (or the same thing happens over and over again). Compare old Doctor Who to any other older show (Kojak, Bonanza, classic Star Trek, whatever), and it's…

Great point, because no one has caused African Americans more suffering than the Austrians.

After seeing Funny Games, I imagine you beating each other with golf clubs and laughing your asses off.

My German prof. would sometimes tell "Graf Bobby" jokes, which are something like the Austrian equivalent of knock-knock jokes. They weren't funny (though to be fair, neither are knock-knock jokes).

Nu Who zips along like Sonic the Hedgehog…it's almost too fast sometimes. Old Who had the opposite problem: I just watched a Pertwee episode where 20% of the story is just people driving from Point A to Point B. Yawn.

The classic era suffered (not always, but at its worst) from two flaws: shitty Ed Wood-level production values, and boring stories that were stretched out to last 2-3 hours. I think Nu Who has fixed those problems. It's rarely cheap-looking or boring…but they've added a new problem that didn't exist in classic Who:…
