Why did he apologize? What is the point of apologizing there? He said he didn't think Idris Elba is suave enough to play Bond. I get it, he's got quite a bit of edge to him. He's more broodingly handsome than suave. Why be torn down by the twitterati?

Ha, my go to response to social media stories is to say 'Oh my gerd who cares?? Twitter is dumb!" I'm just glad I got you to feel bad for snapping to judge and as a result you subjected yourself to several more minutes of terrible comedy.

What if an article about some bad jokes he once told cherry-picked his bad jokes and explicitly left out his good jokes? It would be like I could never trust the AV Club again!!!

Yep, in four awful tweets and a couple of terrible vine videos from two years ago I was also able to fully judge him as a human being. Thank God for the internet.

Eh. Social media makes people dumb. I'm sure the change.org petition to get him fired will be full of righteous outrage though.

He survived 9 months on bebop cola and scorpion venom.

I used to park my car when running in the park on a a gravel shoulder that is along a 2 mile long public road that leads to about 5-6 McMansions. One day there was a full blown, official looking "No Parking" sign next to my usual spot. I ignored it, knowing it was a public road. A week later they had put up a sign

Ha, oops.

No, I was asking if I'd enjoy it.

But.. but.. national security! If we don't bomb them in their homes, they'll hate us even more!

Really? I didn't think Americans particularly cared what their drones were doing.

How preachy would you say Mr Robot is? I tend to have a low tolerance for the "fuck bankers" type stuff. Are they evil because they make money investing or evil for actual reasons?

I too often deal with the difficulty of anachronistic male-specific insults. Grow a pair! Is now off limits in most circumstances, and that makes me a sad panda.

I feel like a lot of puritanical criticism is masked in considerations of "freshness".

I've said it before, I'm sure I'll say it again, the AV Club is slowly turning into Pitchfork.

I just meant in tone, Galaxy Quest is of course superior. And yes, WTF was Star Trek: Into Darkness. Why did they have Khan be the enemy? It's an infinite universe. Why was he white? Why were the super soldiers in torpedos and put on the ship for no reason? Why did earth not have a single solitary defense, not one,

Why on God's green earth would anyone want to watch more of the Hobbit movies?

Oh come on, the first movie was fun. I know you enjoyed the first half! I know it!

I think it's both. There's a certain element of, "We remade Ghostbusters, and this time, they're women!" to it. Still Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy are generally hilarious people, so I'm looking forward to it.
