So you are acknowledging there are people who think similar things about themselves with an equal amount of certainty as you? Do you think there is an easily reproducible method of determining whether all those people are wrong?

Perhaps not, but is it possible for you to imagine a universe in which dreams and hallucinations of certain individuals do not necessarily represent external reality? Like, do you think there are people who strongly believe things about themselves without them being true?

"I felt", "almost as if it hadn't been a dream" and "I cannot be sure I didn't" is a far cry from "certainty" you announce in the very next sentence. So are we free to downgrade your confidence from "certain" to at least "highly likely"?

You may have already made plans, but why does that make the event certain? Perhaps you've had a similar previous experience that makes you confident about this one?

But surely in this moment you are euphoric?

Came here to mention Altered States, which is absolutely the biggest offender for me. You can pinpoint the exact moment (it's halfway through) when it goes from "intriguing, trippy intellectual drama" to "comical schlock". Biggest tonal/genre whiplash in a movie ever.

Almost didn't click on this because it looked like a GJI.

You're probably right, especially with in-depth reviews that get comments in double-digits, but the site is slowly becoming a content aggregator and there are a lot of those out there already.

They gave the ax to something like a dozen different TV reviews in the past week. If you click on pretty much any review in the TV Club section, there's a note about the end of coverage.

Okay so when are we getting a newswire about the death throes of TV Club? For some years there, A.V. Club was synonymous with TV Club. Will this site literally remain nothing but GJIs, Hatesongs and reviews of current theatrical releases? Is the site really more successful this way?

I don't know if you've seen Minority Report, which came out the same year (but was released earlier) - that was pretty good. Apart from War Horse, which I didn't see, most things he's done since 2002 have been okay, but you're not really missing anything spectacular.

It's just tits and unsound geopolitical decisions made by conservative British voters bound to reverberate worldwide in the form of economic and political instability.

One eyed monster? You, sir, are correct.

It makes sense the A.V. Club got some kind of Scottish person to talk about this subject. Hope he'll regale us with other Gaelic stories in the future.

Yeah, I just caught the ending, so I may very well be wrong. "Suck" is probably a strong word, but I was still surprised at how cheesy it was, not having seen it for almost two decades.

Saw the ending of the first one a few days ago somewhere, and laughed so hard at the over-earnest heroics, swelling music and poor composite shots. I guess Independence Day was corny and it sucked?!

"Off line"? Is that like, without an Internet connection? Like when there's a blackout?

Couldn't sleep at the motel during a business trip a few years ago, and ended up watching a Pawn Stars marathon. I'm ashamed to admit I enjoyed it, although I've never watched another episode again.
