Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but that E*Trade baby is kind of a cunt.

@avclub-72d28dbd101b7790f7eaa0df40ed76f8:disqus I watched that gif for a full minute before I became sure it wasn't gonna sprout a dick.

True that. The worst ads nowadays are the ones that try to be all "LULZ RANDOM!!" Like the goddamn awful Stride commercials with a "werewolf in accounting" or whatever the fuck it was, heavily promoted on some website that shall remain nameless.

If this is the "requests" section, please post a newswire on the release of the excellent new David Bowie music video. Bowie and Tilda Swinton, together at last; the Cate Blanchett to his Bob Dylan.

That linked joke analysis is perfect.

Your post would have been 4 lines long if you didn't list everything Karen O has ever done, though. And you forgot one of her best sessions of squeaks, her work on The Flaming Lips' "I Can Be a Frog": http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I saw them live just a couple of weeks ago, and they played four-five new songs (not this one, though). I personally think the new album is gonna be great, just based on the material I heard that night; and not all of it is as uncharacteristic as this one or as electronic as It's Blitz. A few of the songs would feel…

HOLY FUCK. This is the best pop-culture news I've heard in a long, long time. Thanks, @avclub-0f0d67e214f9fef69b278e3d08114da9:disqus!

A prayer for Colm Meaney.

M. Night was only overrated for one and a half movie, before people stopped saying he was the next Hitchcock and started laughing when they saw his name in trailers. I'd say he's almost underrated now, since people retroactively shit on his two great films (6th Sense, Unbreakable) and his following perfectly…

Indeed we should! If you happen to swing by, char siew pork and Tigers are on me!

@avclub-a171d9b078d8fd668b699188db001042:disqus I think a lot of people dislike Singapore because of the aforementioned fakeness of it all. Also, sadly, people aren't always very friendly here, nor do the many, many different races mix very much; the nanny state has created something of a distrust towards anything…

I was a major nerdazoid back then myself, and still am for that matter; yet it's hard feeling sorry for the main dude when he immediately falls in with a super-cool clique of "outcasts" and gets to fiddle with Hermione. And yes, savvy as these characters are I found it really strange that "Heroes" by Bowie was their…

Like, where in Asia to move? That depends on a LOT of factors, obviously. What are you planning to do there, do you speak any languages, etc.

Could Hausu be the film that is most often brought up on these "pop-culture weekend" boards? Saw like 5 references to it last week, and that wasn't the first time.

Technically Correct Fact: Unless you mean "Best Actor/Actress" only, not counting supporting, that honor goes to Beatrice Straight (best supporting actress for Network, less than 6 minutes).

I second this motion. Just the amount of adorable accents on display would be worth the air fare. I say we have the meeting on Bali, where assholes of all corners of the world are free to congregate.

We should. I'm guessing the AV Club: Southeast Asia meet-up would sadly be rather sparsely populated, though. Anyone?

In honor of your Silent Running viewing, I nominate Cool Runnings for your 1000th.

I had no idea either, until some random commenter here made an outrageously dickish comment on the Community boards; he was such an asshole I looked at his comment history for further proof of dickery, and saw that he had just made a "BLACK MIRROR IS BACK, JABRONIS"-post. Funny how one gets information here.
