Well, only if one were to put absolutely no thought into their readings whatsoever.

I read a piece like that once. This woman painted a celebrity as a this really creepy asshole she went on a creepy date with and corroborated her comments with quotes from "anonymous friends"…

Then I hope that you don't get a notification informing you that I've responded to your comment.

Did I say "just now" somewhere in my post?

George Clooney is like a steak, not a jelly doughnut. You might stop enjoying the taste of steak, but you never find it sickening the way you do with jelly doughnuts.

I have hopes that this series will start behaving more like tonight's episode now that Rebekah is gone. Previously, this series simply carried over the Original's family drama from TVD, with a few new characters. Now that storyline is done with, hopefully we'll get something stronger.

Yes we do. Which is why now that I live in London, every time I see the price tag on a bottle of maple syrup I come very close to having an embolism.

To be fair, he openly admitted that Reign was supposed to be a DKR-style Spider-Man story. Not that the radioactive semen thing wasn't a horrible decision.

Oh no, some random person I don't give a shit about looks down on me. Whatever shall I do? :(

All of what @avclub-b9a25e422ba96f7572089a00b838c3f8:disqus said was correct. A murder isn't the same as rape, in terms of how it interacts with the audience. That's a simple truth.
Because the reality is, we know that murder is bad, but its rate of occurrence is leagues less than the 30% of women in the United States…

And Colbert straight-up wasn't being racist. Someone on his promotion team quoted a joke he made out of its context within a larger joke that he made on his show. It was part of a segment where he was mocking the Washington Redskins talking about how they didn't need to change their name because they made charitable…

I'd like to see Venom's continuity as a monster spliced with a b-plot covering Flash Thompson's career as a soldier, followed by a sequel that gets them together as Agent Venom.

Oh hey, the cross posters are back.

That's fuuuuuucked up.

I always enjoyed how all of Kevin J. Anderson's plots were about a giant, threatening super-weapon. That man liked Star Wars for a very specific reason.

I don't envy actors for the things they have to be diplomatic, or fake enthusiastic, about.

A third are not though, so nation-centrism basically just marginalizes a good portion of the commentariat.

The AV Club's commentariat is pretty international actually.

Huh, I had thought you were weirdly absent from that discussion! …but disqus only let me see about 100 comments before freezing, so I was stuck fighting with the same group of cross-posters about pretty much nothing to do with the actual show.

Or me about 20% of the time, because Disqus hates me.
