Why does everyone call this guy Nugent? His last name is Dyess-Nugent. I just scoured Google for 5 minutes looking for a feud between this lady and Ted Nugent.

eclectic eel  No, your comment is applicable to this discussion. All I'm saying is I wasn't really referring to the title-puns so much as comments like "Did they use local mutants as extras?", which I don't really see as any less crass or offensive than the content of this movie.

eclectic eel I was referring to the jokes specifically about Chernobyl on this thread.

@avclub-0a963a0730546783e9e534ce14918086:disqus See, for me it's the opposite. It's the sentiment that counts. I will be readily as offended by an Internet post as a student film as a Hollywood production. I understand your point now though.

@avclub-0a963a0730546783e9e534ce14918086:disqus  Nope, not trolling, but thanks for actually answering my question (albeit with snark), unlike @avclub-410987637793620466d1b0732bd7ed6d:disqus . I can see how some people would have a problem specifically with profiting off a tragedy. However, people here seem to have…

While I personally don't see much of a difference, that's a pretty good point. I can see how someone could have a problem with them profiting off of others misfortune or commercializing tragedy, but that raises the question of whether the movie would be any less offensive if it were released for free on the Internet.…

Well, what exactly is the difference?

How is this in any more bad taste than people cracking Chernobyl jokes right here in the AVClub comments? Scroll down a bit and you'll see plenty piling up, most of them with 'likes'.

I'll jump in here. While time travel is usually illogical or inconsistent in films, the mechanics all make sense here (at the very least, more than any other time travel film I've seen). I had no problem with the ending, but if I had to take a guess at what other people dislike about it, it would be that its not…

Patrick Gerard  But that still doesn't solve the core problem, which is that TV advertising is more effective and more valuable to advertisers than Internet advertising. Advertisers aren't going to switch over to the Internet until it makes sense for them to do so. There was a study released just the other day which…

I wasn't on pain killers. And I think you're being a tad hyperbolic: it all comes down to ratings and profit. There's nothing inherently wrong with broadcast and cable; its just that audiences tend to watch crap like Dancing with the Stars and Real Housewives of Whatever over quality TV. Once in a while. a good show…
