Well they gave the award to the likes of Sully Prudhomme and Giosuè Carducci while Leo Tolstoy was still around and Anton Chekhov was publishing The Cherry Orchard and Thrree Sisters so this is par for the course.

Roth, though he should, is never going to win the Nobel.

I have no interest in the Rolling Stones other than as a nostalgia act but I just looked it up and saw that every single RS album since 1964 has charted in the top five.

Looking for good girl on a train suspense movies? I recommend the following:
The Lady Vanishes (1938)
Lady on a Train (1945)
The Narrow Margin (1952)
Murder on the Orient Express (1974)

Par for the course for 2016 A.V. Club.

How about ending SNL?

I doubt it will be any more successful than "Extreme Gong" or the "The Gong Show with Dave Attell" which were other desperate attempts to revive the series.

How about, "The Bat, Man"

Is Suplee still immersed in a cult or has he managed to escape?

And instead of ditching school to go watch movies we'll have young Anthony hang out at the gym where he'll be taken under his wing by a crusty old man (think DeNiro, Stallone, Morgan Freeman) who trains him to enter the brutal world of MMA fighting.

…Scarface 1983 is better than the one from '32
No, a thousand times no.

Agree but that's mostly because Hawks>>>>>>>Carpenter.

It's known for being a pre-sold property that can get you a meeting and pilot at CBS.

Lame show that lasted a few seasons 40 years ago, failed movie version 13 years ago so of course let's reboot it.

Agree. I watched a grand total of about 10 minutes of Leno's Tonight Show reign but Jay Leno's Garage on You Tube is great.

Fuqua is a hack and he really botched the remake. I always though the original was overrated - especially the end. Eli Wallach releases the Magnificent 7 and gives them back their guns as long as they promise not to attack the town. So after being released the 7 grab their guns , go back to town and kill all of…

Did Oliver "destroy" the candidates? Has the election been called off?

And a paucity of acting ability.

Exactly. I'm sure this show is bad as well (I'll never watch it) but the original was pretty lame.
