This isn't the first time that someone on staff forgot that in the original "The Office", Tim and Dawn DIDN'T get together. Come on guys.

I didn't feel any of that to be "pandering" to make Miller seem like he connected with "secular youth culture". It's interesting that you read a completely different tone into that than I do. I just assume that he mentions bands because he listens to them and criticizes GWB because he disagrees with his politics…
Trying to reply to "I Will Probably Forget This Quickly", but I haven't figured out how to do that because my closest option seems to be that of replying to Nabin…
Well, it's just that when I read an A. V. Club review that sounds interesting, I have to go over to IMDB to find out what the original title of the thing was, because here in Europe I won't find it under that. And, you know, going to IMDB to find out the original title of a movie is way too much work for me. Just…
This seems to be "Gianni e le donne".
Dear AV Club, why do you review foreign films only by the titles they appear under in the U.S.? How about a little "original title" parenthesis or something?
I'm very confused. Not only that "Phantom Menace" is here considered better than "Return of the Jedi", but also that it was, uh, allegedly worse than "Attack of the Clones"?? "Phantom Menace" sucks, but "Attack of the Clones" is the lowest point in the Star Wars saga. It may have less Jar-Jar and no Jake Lloyd, but…
32:55 you mean…
Especially when it suddenly turns into The Seventh Seal.
"…she looks lean, fit, and flat with her shirt off." This cued me in that this is a European film we're talking about, because I'm pretty sure that American movies don't feature 10-year-old girls with their shirts off.
You know what could seriously use a movie reboot?
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Yeah, uh, Beck.
Sting
Johnny Cash
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Bjork

shouldn't have watched this at work. Now people think I'm a pederast.
borderline syndrome
Have you ever been close to someone with borderline syndrome? I have, and it reminded me of the "Man of the people" episode. As far as I can tell, borderliners are the closest thing we have to an Ambassador Alkar, as far as their ability to dump all their stress and darkness into your brain and…
original titles…
What's this movie's original title? I live in Europe, and your reviews are my default place to read up on whether or not I'd consider a movie worth watching, but I'm baffled by your choice of always going only with the American title to the foreign movies. Surely you must have more readership…
Also
Also in 1966:
great concept, lame finish.
To me, this movie would also make my "disappointing third acts" list. Once they get to Totenkopf's Island, the sense of urgency just sort of deflates, and exists in being TOLD that things are urgent (like the countdown to the rocket launch, etc.) rather than in anyone actually bringing…
short stories
Yeah, I, too, had my life changed by Ray Bradbury's short stories (although I was a late bloomer and didn't discover them until I was 18 or so), and I, too, found his longer works disappointing. "Something Wicked This Way Comes" is fantastic until it starts its overbearing backstory about two-thirds…

What about…
… Elvis Costello with "God's Comic"? That chorus is so catchy:
No, I'm not the only guy who thinks so. Now that I read some more of the comments I realize that.
