Amazon's just trolling the brick and mortars now.

It's not just the A.V. Club, though if you're using the writers here as a proxy for broader "liberal" entertainment/pop culture commentariat then I think your criticism is correct. Michael Moore's politics are something those people (not "Those People" derogatory) probably generally agree with (which, for the record,…

Depicting Jar Jar's horrific demise would be the smartest thing Abrams could do to engender goodwill.
"Boy, that 'twist' was unnecessarily stupid, the story was middling, the old characters didn't get enough screen time, and the new characters were so bland."
"Yeah, but that 10-minute Jar Jar vivisection sequence…

I can only protect you, I cannot fight a war for you.

… followed by biology lesson on the hypothesized origin and evolution of midichlorians…

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he was a CGI buffoon… my guess is you'll never see him again."
God willing.

Bill Kristol, is that you?

"Ohhh… but my Rord… the Twayd-a Fed-a-way-shun…"

Don't ever tell me the odds!

I really hope they take the original trilogy approach to everything that happened pre-New Hope and refer to it in the vaguest possible terms, if it at all. What's the need, really? Other than maybe an allusion to the fact that Sidious supplanted the Republic with the Emprire and destroyed the Jedi, and that Vader was…

You're not kidding. My grandfather, who was literally a cowboy growing up in Montana in the 1940s, loves it.

I've given very few of DC's June relaunch titles a shot, so there may be some hidden gem talent in there of which I am…

Yeah, I don't understand what DC's doing (at least with regard to talent, if not in other areas). Lemire, Soule, Sorrentino… whether one likes all of them or not, they're all capable creators, and IMO, DC can use as many as they can get as I think their "depth chart" is pretty thin.

I can't believe that a prestige drama about the zombie apocalypse would stoop to such gimmicks in its storytelling!

The universe truly has a way of evening things out!

Well just like electing Obama ended racism, electing Hillary will end sexism! Problem solved! I don't even know why they bothered to do this study.

He must have called in every favor he's owed. That, or just told them, "Guys, Netflix just had a dump truck deliver money to my house. You want some?"

At least Rob Schneider's doing his racist affected accent. It's not completely lacking in poor taste.
