"Krystal-engorged"?

"Your political issues with it are irrelevant to it's overall quality,
highly subjective and not really worthy of taking into consideration."

The worst part about eating hot wings, or any really spicy food in general, is just filling up on gallons of liquid and all that that entails.

I can't remember whether that was played for laughs or not. It seemed like there were a lot of moments of iffy comedy here, like when the little girl used the word "witch" as a verb.

OK, now that I've seen this film, and now I know how ignorant Dowd is when he says it's almost "sympathetic" to superstitious paranoiacs, I just have one question

That boat sequence is TITTS. It's a variation on "the prisoner's dilemma" and it ties in thematically with the existence of the Batman — an individual with a moral imperative picking up the slack where the democratic system has failed and devolved into mob rule. At least that's my pretentious reading of it. Plus it's

Having Gordon having to walk a tightrope — leading a double life, basically — between protecting his job/the public's faith and doing right by Batman would have been fascinating to watch. Someone on some far-flung Internet forum once suggested the idea of the Feds bringing in a genius profiler named Edward Nygma to

The much-coveted "Chicago residents who are into pop culture, feminism, work for the AV Club and know Cameron Esposito" demographic!

I was really disappointed that the film dispensed with, in such a trite and hacky way, the whole Bat-martyrdom idea seeded at the end of the second film. The "hero Gotham deserves, but not the one we need now" line had already reached meme status, and the conflict implied therein would have propelled the grand finale

It's hard to know what you're on about. Do the makers of horror movies "have blood on their hands" or not? Or are you saying you love bloodshed?

Harvey Scrimshaw = Actor name/movie synergy!

I've pretty much given up on horror movies being actually scary nowadays. If I go see one, it's usually because reviews point to its being well-staged, as It Follows was. Amazing how the genre can both interesting and boring at the same time.

Ah yes, mandatory progressivism — the new puritanism.

And that Elvis Presley and his swiveling hips have been responsible for countless cases of teen pregnancy and syphilis. Elvis, The Exorcist and all other modern day corruptors of our children MUST be stopped!

The AV Club fucks the customer, and you should, too!

Yeah, remember how the French were so hot to trot on invading Iraq? Man, they should have seen this coming. If only they'd read Chomsky!

Being that this is a Katie Rife article, I'm surprised it didn't have sub-Jezebel "snark" about EoDM make MRA-friendly misogyno-rock I mean have you seen the cover of their latest album??

I don't see what his "controversial" stance is (you win again, clickbait!). It sounds like he's saying that it's a fool's errand to try to apply liberal assumptions about what ought to have happened — i.e., gun control preventing mass shootings — to acts of premeditated mass murder carried out by a determined group of
