That review is hilariously old. "A movie about ghouls and a negro," is it? But still, I love Ebert. I am trying to see every film in his book THE GREAT MOVIES, and that project has led me to some of my favorite films ever, movie I would never have seen otherwise.

Uh, really, you're asking? It's that big fiery ball that our planet revolves around, and that provides us warmth and light and makes life on Earth possible.

Disagree. I liked it all. Ann had some great lines in this.

Yeah, I probably missed some parts because I was laughing so hard.

I wish that guy would come back as a recurring character. I loved him in this. Also, this was totally an A episode to me—great subplot with Ann, hilarious A plot, huge laughs from Tom and then from that end scene with Tom and Ron. The only off-note in the whole thing to me was the arbitrary meanness to Jerry at the…

Huh. I suspected, while watching THE SPIRIT that he might be a total hack with nothing of value to say, and that only the fickle winds of taste kept his name aloft about the jet stream of, um, popular regard. Mayhaps I was correct.

I mean, remember the interview he gave after Bill Watterson retired—saying that he thought Watterson was betraying all the papers that depended on his strip?

It's the only way he was going to stop. This had to happen.

The color scheme is blue and white!

I feel actually pretty great about this, and there are a number of other human beings I would be happy to see go as well—Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Sean Hannity—these people aren't making the world better.

He had a ton of obnoxious right-wing stuff in the strip as well—the dad was always listening to Paul Harvey and Rush Limbaugh.

And it would funny and original in neither.

Fuck off, he totally sucked. Don't let one kind obituary erase the years of damage. He shouldn't be forgiven that easily.

I asked for this in a Facebook post back when Andy Rooney died, something about not everyone deserving mourning and that I would, for instance, happily dance on Bil Keane's grave. This is like a gift to me.

Albuquerque strip-club The Ice House (now defunct) notoriously gave a bunch of guys the clap in their eyes. The photos were horrendous.

Housemartins, ftw

Agreed. That thing—not merely boring, but stridently nationalistic and disgustingly revisionist in the PC, sanitized verson of WW2-era America it put forth. Really, we had crack teams of blacks, Japanese-Americans, women, and Jews fighting the Germans? There weren't internment camps and segregation and discrimination?…

Intensely lmfao.

I liked how in the article's comments various nudists said she wasn't a "true nudist." No true nudist would ever do that. True Christians, take note.

Actually, you should see the pictures. They are very strange. There are a couple where she's smiling and gnawing on parts. And there's one of her tucked inside the horse like it's a kid's sleeping bag and she's giggling that is destined to be the oddest, most disturbing avatar photo in the AV Club anyway.
