Netflix has it for rental in disc form. Remember movies on discs!?

Edvard Munch was such a revelation to me when I first saw it and it remains in my all time top 10. Watkins is such an incredible and unique (and amazingly modern to boot) filmmaker that I find it generally perplexing he isn't more well known. He's clearly one of the most underrated and under appreciated filmmakers in…

Superman 3 is actually significantly better than Man of Steel. Snyder's film is sloppily told and humourless, overly violent and stupidly pretentious. Throughout Man of Steel, Snyder and Goyer never seem to have any grasp on Superman as a protagonist and no interest in exploring his inner motivations. It's all…

Pretty much. I don't even know who the nerd internet's dream choice for this role would have been but the movie would have still sucked because Snyder is a hack.

So am I the only person who actually really likes Superman III? It's basically just a feature length version of a goofy silver age Superman comic which makes it appealing to me. I think if you view it as a standalone film, rather than comparing it to its predecessors, it holds up pretty well. And Christopher Reeve as…

In this instance, yes, I'm saying the Queen is wrong.

Yes.

Enough with the nerd outrage because someone had the nerve to not like a superhero movie.

To be fair, his brand is basically just dark 'n' gritty superheroes which is beyond old hat at this point. He seems like Exhibit A for someone who took the wrong lessons from Watchmen and DKR.

I have a friend who claims American Pie is the greatest song ever. His argument? Because the lyrics are extremely vague and open to multiple interpretations. Paraphrasing: "It could be about anything, man, think about it!"

I really don't understand the love for Jamie McKelvie's art.  It all looks stiff and dull to me. For a comic that's supposed to be fun and propulsive it lacks any dynamism or excitement. And the writing for these books strikes me as just a little bit too clever for its own good. Is this a sign of getting old? When you…

It looked really bad. Like bad even for one of Mark Millar's many movie pitches that pretend to be comic books.

Real talk: I cried the first time I heard the song The Mess Inside. I was at work listening to some music and it came up. I was dating this girl that I was madly in love with but we were currently on a break and it was pretty clearly not going to work out (does going on a break ever work out?) Anyway, I had to rush to…

Clearly Highfather needed to have some GrimDark injected into this character, I mean that wouldn't be completely missing the point at all…

To be fair, they seduce and then kill passing sailors. The sex is consensual. The killing is not.

Williams is not much of a writer so that surely hurts his chances of getting nominated in the Best Writer / Artist category. Also, even though I am a pretty big fan of his art, I can certainly understand where a person might find it an overly complicated mess that only serves to muddle the narrative it's supposed to…

It couldn't be that some people just have different taste than you, right? I mean that couldn't be happening. You must be on to something here, some sort of conspiracy must be afoot. It's good we have someone of your sleuthing skills here to get to the bottom of this mystery.

Most of the self described 'film buffs' I know seem to care only about 3D Jurassic Park, Pixar movies and Superheroes. I mean, I like the Avengers and Up and all that stuff as much as the next guy but if…

@avclub-39dd889e0ab668280dbd73c93917e652:disqus The Thick of It is on Hulu Plus, that is where I watched it. You could always sign up for the free trial and marathon it. Thick of It is like Veep on steroids so if you like Veep you will love it.

I just finished watching the first season of Veep and it never gets as good as The Thick of It. Still a fun show but I think it's lacking a character as amazingly watchable as Malcolm Tucker. I could watch Peter Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker yell at people for literally hours and never get tired of him. Also, part of the…
