A suit? Why does a baby need a suit? What, does he have a job? He's not fooling anybody. He's a baby!

Trying to think of who the exception of 2010 was… Penelope Cruz?

I love that moment! When I say I liked Connor as a baby, I mean more that I liked Angel as a father to a newborn. His whole brooding schtick never did much for me, but I enjoyed seeing him be goofy and loving. (It's like what Whedon said about introducing Dawn on BtVS: a non-romantic love interest for the main

I really liked Connor when he was a baby. If he had just stayed cute and mute everything would've been fine.

It was definitely gross, but since a friend of mine contracted mumps a few months ago, I was able to really appreciate the commitment to realism firsthand. (Okay, secondhand. Thirdhand maybe. I saw pictures, but I avoided seeing my friend in-person for a good six weeks. Super gross.)

January! Not even waiting til the Season comes round? How…unorthodox of you, my dear. How delightfully French. Charming.

If you're going with the Sex Pistols, why not their song actually called "God Save the Queen"?

See, when I was a kid, The Last Battle was my favorite, and I didn't understand the allegory. Although I think it was chiefly my favorite because I was big into Disney-esque happy endings, so "everybody gets to live in a pretty garden and be best friends forever! (except Susan)" pretty much worked for me. If I reread

I've heard so many people say they felt betrayed when they learned about the Christian allegory stuff, which is frankly a response I never understood. I wasn't raised in a remotely religious household, and when I found out, I kinda just…shrugged. It still works as a children's story even if you don't know about the

I don't fully get complaints like this about the (yes, totally obvious) methods shows employ to hide pregnancies. What do you expect them to do? Not every production has Age of Ultron money. I'd rather have a puffy-looking Zooey shot from the chest up than be Jess-less for even more episodes.

But that's so unethical!! Who would do such a thing???

Oh, absolutely that too. But whereas they seem to genuinely believe that the majority of white men secretly agree with them, the idea of women and non-white men as a ticket-purchasing force doesn't even seem to cross their minds. Kinda like I've read a million articles where the writer will say something like "women,

It's incredible how they don't seem to comprehend that women and non-white men are capable of buying movie tickets too.

I like one of this year's twelfth questions, something like: "Just who the hell do you think you are?"

If it helps, there are still people alive who were born in the fucking 19th century! Like, two of them that we know of—four if you count 1900 as the 19th century, which technically you should but who actually does?—but still.

I really wish Conan would just morph into a travel show.

And while they're at it, let them eat cake!

I'm not sure why either going to conventions or writing fan fiction would qualify as indicating worrying levels of immaturity. Who cares? I honestly don't get this constant policing of what other people enjoy. This is the AV Club, for god's sake. The vast majority of people spend a few hours every day watching movies

It's interesting that the article mentions Goldman's unsympatheticness as adding to the verisimilitude of the framing device—it was exactly his undisguised dickishness towards his wife and son that made me suspect that there was an extra layer of fiction. I don't know if that makes me a very wise preteen (I think I

Hey, are you okay? Here's the number again: 1 (800) 273-8255 Please call. It's—and you're—worth it.
