AV club keeps mentioning that "Shore Leave" is the best Home Movies episode, but to me it's always going to be "The Wedding." The Walter and Perry bit in the chapel cracks me up every single time like nothing else.

It's the beginning of the year, ass-deep into Oscar PR season and nothing that comes out for the next month is anything but D-grade shit at best. Have you ever tried reading a videogame magazine/website in the middle of July when NOTHING notable is coming out for months? Cut them some slack guys. They can only write…

Approve of the name change. Maybe it was even further motivated by the fact that every critic says Black-ish's name is terrible.

It's so stupid that it kind of works honestly. Which is why the "Types of comedians" comparison this article makes a valid point. What is the "do it" character if not a simple-but-dedicated SNL character?

I really really adore this movie, but it's incredibly hard to find a more pandering scene than the cheerleaders making out with each other. I remember it got nominated for a "hottest kiss" MTV movie award, which was supposed to be progressive at the time (or something) because hey, bisexuals in a PG-13 movie!

I guessed that the linked video would be the "Stan is implied to jerk off a horse" smash-cut. The cop-head explosion is pretty crazy but the horse jerkoff jokes will always be the top AD shocker for me. I was not surprised at all they got fined for it.

Just Cause 2 is THE template for a fun open-world game to just fuck around in, IMO. Far Cry 3 is basically the same game with better gameplay (and viable, fun stealth); but they hold off giving you the wingsuit until 3/4ths through the story, which is totally unjustified (far cry's 3 missions were also the worst,…

When MW2 first came out I was just starting college and didn't have an appreciation for "what does it all mean" analyses of entertainment. I thought the mission was indeed in poor taste and didn't like it very much at all, but I brushed it off as an attention-grabbing gambit by Infinity Ward. On a recent MW2…

The only thing I remember from Sesame Street, besides random bits and pieces, is the song "It's alright to cry." I still ignore the song's message, because I'm a bitter and terrible human being.

I would argue that while the first two or three seasons of the show don't put Leela in the same critical light as Michael Bluth, season four and five totally do. The more the show fleshed out Leela's orphan past, the more they pushed her selfishness as a key trait. Which makes a ton of sense and leads to some really,…

I enjoyed this article but I'm amazed that AV Club could run a For Our Consideration about SC Conviction without talking about the interactive torture segments. They ranged from making me feel dirty to making me question why I would possibly play a game like this ever at all. They make the "Press X to make him eat…

I literally did not realize that Domino was not Katy Perry until this post.

I am also fan of the fact that, at the very beginning of the "Krentist" (And it is SO TOTALLY Krentist and not Crentist) scene, Dwight says "No thanks, I'm stuffed," which immediately blows his cover, but Michael is so intent on personally tricking him that he doesn't even notice and keeps offering the M&Ms.

The entire "Share your grief stories" scene is one of my favorite Office moments. The way BJ Novak delivers the "Oh, it would take me like an hour and a half to tell that whole story" cracks me up every time. Not to mention Dwight flexing the sphere-thing while saying "re-sorbed," a small bit of physical comedy that…

I have this problem with Holly too, somewhat. I think what they were trying to go for is that she had the same kind of playful nature as him but more of a grip on reality so she could act as his handler. Like a kindergarten teacher, really.

They had a good sketch of what they wanted him to be, which when combined with his comedic prowess was enough for something like two and a half seasons. But they really ran out of gas after "The Duel" and like the review notes, he just oscillated between "weird agressive dick" and "Ivy League Trust-fund kid"

I understand and accept the verdict of Season 2 of the Office being better, but I'd argue that Season 3 has higher highs to match its lower lows. There are definitely a few set-piece scenes/episodes that seem to be begging for broad ratings-grabbing in Season 3. But the second half of the season, especially, just has…

Anyone else find it weird that there's like a dozen End of The World movies coming out the year after 2012? You'd think they would have aimed to capitalize on the 2012 obsessives. There were a lot last year to be sure but the peak seems to be happening right now.

C+ is spot on. This review may be a little too harsh on Brad Wilk but I totally agree that Iommi is far from his prime on the album. I like Ozzy Sabbath as a totally different beast than Dio Sabbath (of course Dio is the better singer, but Ozzy can certainly give songs a unique feel), but the whole album feels like a…
