True, but the only ones worth anything are the Criterions. Have you SEEN what a mint copy of their short-lived "The Third Man" blu-ray goes for on ebay? It's absurd.

Just be thankful you didn't throw popcorn at me. I'd have had to shoot in self defense.

They both voted to secede from the union so let's just agree they're both awful.

You say that now, but wait until you're on medicare and you can no longer stand those goddamn midwestern winters.

Yet by punching him, you solve the problem, ergo he is correct…paradox!

Though I must admit there are times when I've wanted to do grievous bodily harm to the person sitting next to me…like the time some hipster asshole laughed the whole way through Amadeus. Sure the movie has its funny moments, but it's not fucking Goonies.

Man where's a retired Florida cop when you need him?

the dvd/blu-ray release will eventually have twenty different versions each with different bonus features, some more than others, and in differing numbers,all the way up to the Black Lotus edition which will be fucking expensive on ebay, and you won't dare want to open it or play it lest it lose half its value.

I recall when Ken Burns' "The War" aired on PBS, during the premiere they played it uncensored when the narrator explained what FUBAR meant, but on subsequent airings it was censored. Fucking ridiculous that we've got a documentary about the horrors of war and of bloodshed and incredible trauma, but we must protect…

Yessir I do believe you're right. Couldn't quite recall if it was him or one of Terkel's oral histories. A shame they're both gone now…

You can never have enough snark my friend.

Reminds me, of all things, a seminar I took on WWII, and one of our books look at the war from a cultural perspective, and had a chapter on the use of language, such as FUBAR, SNAFU, etc. Well in it there's this amazing anecdote told by a veteran, who was touring a facility where he was to be a mechanic. Another…

Maybe the AVClub can hire him, and resurrect "The Hater." God, I miss that podcast. I miss AVClub podcasts in general. What happened to those?

War triumphs! Abandon all trust in hope and love!

Girls commenting is like the Five Minutes Hate of the internet.

I'm fine with the cynicism and the bitterness, but it's what they do with Homer. For me that's the episode when his character turned from this hilarious anti-Ward Cleaver, apathetic even anti-social character, into a cartoonish oaf. It's when the show began it's major shift from being family centered to being the…

Every case is different, but they could choose to show someone a little less psychotic, selfish and robotic. I don't find it a positive portrayal of autism, and I don't think it's representative of the majority of individuals with high functioning autism.

I can understand those who feel this way, but I think the moment of no turning back was the Grimes episode.

For some reason, my favorite part of the Wiggum dream scene is the leadup, where he talks about needing to stay up and work the case…

Yup, you summed it nicely. Bespeaking to those military intentions, there are a couple of shuttle missions (pre-Challenger disaster) that are STILL classified missions, on the behalf of the DoD. Probably something mundane like a spy satellite, but still interesting that a science driven shuttle program would have…
