If you think that Sanders doesn't lose, but rather he gets cheated, and Clinton doesn't win, she cheats, then it makes sense for Sarandon and other Sanders supporters to believe that the Bernie revolution is being thwarted by corrupt forces, not by individual voters deciding they prefer Clinton to Sanders. A lot of…

That's the Sanders supporter attitude I hate, that his major wins somehow count more than her major wins. He has had plenty of media attention from the get-go, when he virtually tied in Iowa with Clinton, and then crushed her in New Hampshire in the very first primary. A few votes later, she lost in Michigan in a…

Most people, and most Democrats, have not voted for Sanders. And the odds are that at convention time, he will have received far fewer votes (millions fewer). So the violent revolution thing seems based on the idea that the kind of passion Sanders' supporters have will turn to violence if he does not receive the…

I can look past political views I disagree with (at work, with family members, and with celebrities). But it's not her support of Sanders that makes her views awful to me and many others. It's things likes this: On Larry Wilmore's show last night, she quoted John F. Kennedy, "Those
who make peaceful revolution…

It could be a question for the AV Club: What's the worst promotion you've ever seen for a good movie? I would nominate the commercials/trailers for this one, if it's any good (I haven't seen the trailers in the theater, but the comments here make them sound just as baffling as the TV ads). I first thought there might…

Another problem with the "goddamn well" he goes to over again is that he tends to suggest in movies like "In the Company of Men" and "Your Friends and Neighbors" that we're seeing the truth of what people are really like. As a teenager who never worked in an office, "In the Company of Men" suggested to me the real…

What a disappointment. A guy like Bill O'Reilly will hang around forever, and meanwhile the best opinionator on the left (including the non-funny ones) decides his job is not enough for him.

I'm no insider, but I think a six-month suspension is essentially a way to get rid of him without the blaring headline: Brian Williams Fired. If he returns, he won't be anchor (America will have adjusted to a new face by then), he'll have downsized duties, and that will lead to him deciding to spend more time with his…

I bought this album after seeing it on a list of great albums (OK, it was Rolling Stone's top 500, which at the time I considered a definitive list). The music didn't quite click with me, but thinking about it in connection to Inherent Vice, and flower power depression, I maybe sort of can appreciate it.

All the Young Dudes!!! That's what "21 Guns" sounds like. Thanks weird Internet site I found.

I was disappointed to see Green Day on the list more than once, but no mention of their song "21 Guns." I heard that on the radio the other day, the first time in a long time, and my reaction was the same: This song really sounds like something I've heard before, but I can't quite place it.
On a different note, it…

I saw Swoon on the Sundance Channel or IFC about a decade ago. I thought it was great and couldn't figure out why it wasn't talked about more. Glad to be reminded of it.

I have a memory of "Didn’t I see them on top of our wedding cake?” Was that line given to the Jimmy Barrett character?

The flyer gives the exact address and color of the supposed peeper's home. And the picture of Louis C.K. looks like a fake, comical mugshot. I bet a redheaded guy lives there, his friends make jokes about how he looks like Louis C.K., probably because he's fat or something, and one drunken night the flyer was made and…

Where's "The Master"?!? Oh, there it is.
One thing: Why must Scott Tobias choose "Argo" as the most overrated movie of the year despite agreeing that it's "a good movie. There isn’t much disagreement on that point." I hate the "it's good, but gawd, it's not thaaaat good" criticism. It's akin to celebrating your…

This is the most upsetting oversight since I saw the song "Johnny B. Goode" spelled "Johnny Be Good" in the Atlantic Monthly. That was seven years ago.

I read the recent Rolling Stone interview with Bob Dylan and was disappointed for the umpteenth time at what a vapid idiot he is. His main talent, it seems, is writing songs that give the false impression he has depth.
