No, instead we have met our new Toby Young. Hey, new Toby, what's your next book gonna be?: "How To Lose Friends and Piss Off the Entire Pop Culture Landscape"?

Is there a "Book vs. Film" on this one yet?

Long before A.V. Club was largely written by a new staff, it was written by an older staff who originally started in the print version. The older staff would regularly bring on an argument that would get contested, but ultimately it would hold up. This was so because they brought in more perspective and context to the…

"Scenic Routes" are one scene now?
What happened to the, "Over on the left you'll find…", and "Just straight ahead you'll see…" when venturing through a movie? There's just criticism over one scene! ONE! There are, like, three other one-shots in the whole movie, one of them includes a Kee giving birth to a CGI baby.…

Another Blend of Things We've Seen
The first thing I thought when I saw this girl perform is that she is some record label A&R invention. She looks like Beyonce, Rhianna, and Leona Lewis, but sounds like M.I.A.. Her influences are very obvious, so she's not very interesting. Listen to M.I.A.'s "Arular" and you'll be…

Introducing Your "Favorite Thing" to Someone Else…
…is a very prickly business. I don't know where I read it (maybe here) but it is very awkward to play your favorite song/movie/ TV show for someone else who knows nothing of it. There's heightened expectations, a different take on piece, or in this case a…

Relax and change your underwear, it was just a joke.

This comment was for Koski. You can judge a movie whatever way you want, but I was pointing out a specific comment the writer made. I just happened to disagree with it.

I thought that was a weird little movie. Wasted too much time on a plot element ( how crazy version of Jack Black got electrocuted then actually pee'd it away ), the script sounded like they tried improvising hoping for a few priceless gems but came up short, and who in the HELL is gonna stop their lives for a…

I completely respect your opinion for not caring for this movie. There are plenty of beloved things others love, but I would rather not argue, for fear of losing my head. But some of her specific criticisms have upset people. Mainly, the assumption that if you like this movie, it's for nostalgia purposes only. Imagine…

Singing for Your Supper
Damn, Koski. Unless the other elder A.V. Clubbers forgive you, your head is on a platter right now. Personally I'm surprised you didn't like the movie, but you're entitled to your opinion. These people here hate you.

I take it "The Hater" is not a character…
…, but your actual personality Amelie. I thoroughly enjoy your Hater work, but I just thought it was for that purpose. Now, it just sounds like you hate everything in that bitter, sarcastic voice, yet continue to partake in pop culture.

I thought Jeff Dunham was funny…
when I was TEN YEARS OLD!

I am somewhat new to PR, having only seen a handful of episodes from Seasons 1 & 2. I was really amazed by some of the work Epperson was doing, especially the denim dress for the Western-themed costume challenge. For the Rebecca Romijn(sp) maternity wear challenge, he made a white jumpsuit with a jacket that looked…

Jesus, you take someone to the South of France, show them the best food and wine, and they complain about the sunny weather. There's always going to be someone who complains for complaint's sake.

Lt. C. Graves Rapestone, M.D., Ph.D, Ed.D (specializing in Habitual Rape Therapy). Served in the 1968 US Army Vietnam War Medical Service. Lost three fingers on left hand, fingerbanging has suffered greatly.

I'm not a dog owner, but all the people I know that own dogs don't feed them something from a can that looks like bad chili. Maybe too much temptation during tough times, who knows.

If the writers don't start establishing why Jane is dynamic enough to keep Roger faithful, then we'll assume he's just waiting for Joan to become available.

I agree, we all know who we like at a very early age. Sally likes boys, but doesn't like being teased about it. Her temper comes from her frustrations with Mommy and Daddy.

I agree. I don't like to prognosticate, but I think he'll die in Vietnam. And that'll be that.
