I'm reading the monthly and enjoying it immensely. I love Nicola Scott's art; the black and white with color interspersed is unique and effective. I think it's a pretty inspired magic meets crime procedural/noir mashup. (I admit I'm a Rucka mark, so take that for what you will.)

Hopefully there's an "Ah-ha!" payoff to Paper Girls soon. The only thing keeping me invested is Cliff Chiang's art. If it doesn't give some hint of a more coherent story by the end of the first arc, I think I'm going to give up on monthly and switch to trade

I think Sun Beyond The Stars (at least when it was conceived last year) was supposed to be an "in between seasons" interlude that would follow the adventures of some of the whackier characters whose narratives weren't central to the main story arc and let Pitarra spread his wings artistically by exploring some

"… AND YOU GOT YOUR HEAD ALL THE WAY UP IT!!!"

I'm sure this will reveal me for the comedy dilettante that I am, but I had never heard of Tony Rock. I thought it was a joke until I clicked through to the Hollywood Reporter article. I now want to check out his work — like how I ended up loving Charlie Murphy when I discovered him on Chapelle's Show.

I want Ron Simmons to dress as Farooq and present the award for "biggest sellout." Instead of a trophy, the winner receives 'The Dominator' bodyslam through a folding table.

In addition to looking (as others above have aptly noted) bloated and tonally inconsistent across trailers, this movie just seems like it's going to be dumb. (Obligatory disclaimer that I don't want it to suck, I want it to be a pleasant surprise, I want a cinematic DCU to succeed, etc.) Every time I get cautiously

Every time Dowd gives a movie a "C," another mediocre movie gets greenlit.

EXACTLY. His real life public persona is barely indistinguishable from the stern, conservative, straight-talk TV dad. It's also a bullshit performance that covers up the dark, monstrous predator lurking underneath. If one can't accept or revel in the real life performance, I don't see how one can celebrate the TV one,

haha yeah whoopsie

I know it's inane. I think I was intoxicated the night I chose it years ago. (I'm probably one of the few holdouts who only has an A.V. Club account and doesn't use Disquss.) I'm not a serial commenter. I go through fits and spurts. I say all this to make the point that I've never found a reason to change it. The name

Married person here. No experience with an open relationship, so not a lot of help there except to echo destructive recovery's practical advice above and agree that you should express yourself no matter how difficult. If your wife becomes angry about you re-thinking the situation, then by all means point out that is a

You're not pathetic. You did a generous thing for your wife in the hope that it would address a perceived problem in your marriage. But it created a new problem — for you. That's not fair, regardless of whether you consented. Your wife needs to reciprocate and address your needs — both for monogamy, and the other

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS DON'T DO IT

My only reaction to this movie is, "January can't end soon enough."

I feel like that describes half the people on that list.
EDIT: I think it would have been funny if they left the nickname "Snooki" off the list and just used her name, "Nicole Pollizi." How many people would have known that? Not more than two dozen?

That's far too intelligible.
"Kohnsidah dis yah tuhminaeshun."
Otherwise, perfect catchphrase.

*Ahem* Porsha Williams would have words with thee.

I would tune in for this.

I don't know who Carson Kressley is…. but I know who Snooki is. *Hangs head in shame*
