If I ever see this nerd in the hallway, he's getting a wedgie.

I absolutely loved this show as a kid. I'm tempted to claim that the article is being too harsh, but of course I haven't watched Brisco County in many years. I think I might give it another go.

This is horrible news. Whenever someone commits suicide, it's a tragedy, but there's something particularly upsetting when it's someone who has spent his entire career trying to make others happy. From watching Mork and Mindy reruns as a kid to Mrs. Doubtfire and The Birdcage, you've made me laugh, and for that,…

The AV Club is nothing but lies!

Why didn't they just build the show out of the same material they use to make the black box?

The cappuccino flavor aren't as bad as they could have been. But they mostly just taste like cinnamon. There's hardly any coffee flavoring. They're actually kind of disappointing.

You know, the Super Mario Bros. movie might be the origin film for the dark and gritty reimagining.

I'm sorry, but this is a pretty hackneyed response. You should have thrown in a "It's not supposed to be Shakespeare" for good measure. There are plenty of works of art made for children that are sophisticated and complex: Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, The Hobbit, the Toy Story trilogy, the work of Dr.…

I've read the excerpts of the supposedly plagiarized work, and I think the accusers are stretching it. Artists build upon the art of others. This is how they create something new. Ligotti's work isn't wholly original either. The one positive thing that might come out of this entire mess is that maybe a lesser…

I think these turtles have breached the uncanny valley. I find them creepy, but there's also something humorous about them. There's something desperate in their design, like the filmmakers decided to purposefully steer the TMNT towards a darker, grittier tone without understanding the potential consequences of that…

It's true. TMNT, Transformers and GI Joe were never very good, at least when it comes to the cartoon versions. I've never read any of the comic books (although I've heard that GI Joe had a killer comic book run back in the day). These movies are hardly the betrayal people make them out to be. They're simply…

Let's set all of our movies in Detroit from here on out. But they will still be filmed in Toronto.

I haven't seen the movie yet (and probably won't be seeing it…unless it shows up on Netflix streaming), but it looks like the biggest irony of Bay's Turtles movie is that the TMNT have become the very thing that they were originally parodying.

Hey, but there's "no consensus" yet. Who knows, a million positive reviews might come in at the last second.

This is the kind of success you can achieve after decades of Runnin' Down a Dream. *leans back, folds arms behind head, and puts feet up on the table*

I hear what you're saying, but it would have been nice if they had at least attempted to make it look like the world of Enterprise could one day morph into the world of TOS. If they had just drop a little retrofuturism in, I would have been satisfied. (And yes this bothered me about Prometheus as well, even if that…

Say what you will about the Abrams shows, but they at least got the design elements right. When Enterprise first premiered, it bugged me to no end that this ship looked more "futuristic" than the one Kirk and crew manned. I generally prefer Abrams's incorporation of 60s design elements.

I remember listening to an interview with Carrie Brownstein, and she said that music critics have a hard time crafting a narrative after a band's third or fourth album. They feel it is necessary to create a narrative trajectory, but they don't know what that trajectory is yet (mostly because it has not been…

Transference is criminally underrated. I love the fact that they went from a big, catchy studio album like Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga to a scrappy mix of songs with lo-fi elements (if I'm not mistaken Britt Daniel recorded some of the guitars on a bedroom four track). Even if Transference isn't as good as GaX5, it showed at the…

Over the last few years Canadian hardcore punk act, Fucked Up, have put out some great material. As an American, I can honestly say that Canada has some great music. You just have to know where to look.
