I'm gonna go ahead and assume that by "the returned discs," the author means the returned DVDs in their packaging - disc and case - and not just the physical discs themselves. If you're jerkin' it with the DVD case nearby it's completely within the realm of possibility that you could get some goo on it.

"This movie's awful - the annoying, condescending dorks end up winning instead of the masculine, good-looking guys."

In 'The Kraft', a group of alienated high-school girls invoke the mystical spirit of Oscar Mayer in the hopes that he will grant them a miracle (whip). Their chant of "Now is the time. This is the hour. Be careful when removing Velveeta from the microwave" somehow didn't catch on like the one in the original…

In all fairness the show talks a lot more about climbing up ladders than it does about walking on paths.

I've been enjoying The Path, but when I watch it part of me always thinks 'you know, this show should be at least a little bit better than it actually is.' It's like - compelling theme, talented actors, solid filmmaking craft, but… there's a spark missing. Maybe they'll find it in a second season.

I'll just use this space to mention that the music in the original 'Wicker Man' is really good.

Not sure how true this is, but also: I've read that laxatives don't actually cause one to lose all that much weight, because for the most part you're just pooping out stuff that your body would've pooped out eventually anyway.

That was gross but I appreciate your candor.

The president has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a competent-enough dude to file the necessary paperwork in order to alert the appropriate military and diplomatic personnel?

I think there already is a 'Golden Axe' movie. It's called 'every heroic fantasy movie from the 70s and 80s.'

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

My own 'Mulholland Dr.' story: at the time, I was upset and frustrated at the state of my life, and with nothing better to do I figured I'd ride my bike to the local arthouse theater and check out the film. I totally loved it (it remains one of my all-time favorites), and leaving the theater I felt at least a little…

I'm really enjoying reading these and I wish I had more time to write about my own, but in the interest of getting something in here before the comments section gets too unwieldy, some personal movie-going experiences that stand-out in my memories:

One thing to note about the comments section here is that (I think) it's connected with other sites that use Disqus - so, sometimes a given article will attract lots of commenters who aren't regular AV Club users.

Because as everybody knows, the best way to assess someone's work as a journalist is to take a quick glance at their Twitter feed, and - it goes without saying - if you disapprove of someone's journalistic work, then you're entitled (nay, morally obligated) to threaten them with rape. It's just common sense!

I don't think it's just a matter of 'the internet' giving people a forum, though; there are lots of different online platforms, and some are more enabling of abuse than others. Twitter makes it especially easy for people to be assholes on their service, which is why so much of this kind of online harassment seems to…

I feel like there's a big trend right now amongst internet assholes to try and shut down any kind of emotional expression that feels intimate, honest, vulnerable, etc. if what's being expressed is anything other than rage or scorn. So like, when men talk about their emotions, it's attacked as being feminine (which for…

…and I do mean "rise."

It's not the sort of thing her show normally does, but I thought Rachel Maddow's tribute was actually quite good. I'm not sure how to link to the clip directly, but it's currently the first one that plays when you go here: http://www.msnbc.com/rachel…

What if this comment had been written by a cat? It would look like this:
