The only way he could be more of a douche is if he just posted a link to the relevant blog entry.

Mjp, maybe one day you'll learn that you're an obtuse bastard for assuming that people who like horror movies can't differentiate between fantasy and reality.

Ignoring the fantastic acting, storytelling and soundtrack, I think it's the set design that ends up selling the movie. SPOILERS SPOILERS The train depot sets up the film's recurring high pitched whine as humanity's swan song, the prison escape tunnel is a birth metaphor, plus there's a million geeky sci-fi things in…

It's about not entirely reducing a person to one particular role they choose play in one particular set of circumstances. I'm sure most of the people on these boards are not annoying, judgemental know-it-alls when they're kicking it at a party, so one could see how it would be off base to say that we are all good for…

Talking smack about Bill and Ted…
…is not a good way to inspire confidence in your opinion.

Yes Dan, I'm sure these aging sports stars go home to their million dollar homes each night and just cry themselves sleep after banging their supermodel girlfriends on the hood of one of their Ferraris. You know, because they have no self worth beyond being a piece of meat.
These dudes exploit a physical gift to make…

Jim- do you understand that, by her own account, she enjoys all of these sexual acts that you find degrading and objectifying? Through her own self-determinism and rational thought, she is telling you to perform these actions because she either loves the experience or she wants you to believe she does because she…

The only thing that Emperor Jim summed up nicely is the fact that he's an asshole.
"Any hot chick could be a porn star, ditto any hot chick with a Ph.D. or MBA or whatever. You're a masturbatory aid, Sasha Grey. Nothing more. "
There are thousands upon thousands of women who fuck on camera for money, and barely a…

Mike, you rock.
I've thoroughly enjoyed your articles, and hope you stay at the AV Club for awhile.

Lone Star is a Pabst company, which means the brewing is farmed out to someone else, just like all of their other brands. Coors Light is a Miller company, which means it's brewed by a South African company.
@Bnr76 I live in San Diego, home to a number of world class breweries, and I still think that PBR is a totally…

Mobodo, Pabst is American-owned. It's true that they farm their brewing out to SABMiller, but they're still an American company.

As far as shitty American lagers go, it's definitely PBR > High Life > Coors Light.

100% in agreement.

The only appropriate souvenir for a funeral is a splitting hangover.

Well, kudos to you!

Roneesh, what about the multitude of violent scenes in Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse Now, The Basketball Diaries, etc etc. Would you condemn people that enjoyed these films?

A half-million dead doesn't even begin to compare to the Soviet experience of WWII.

10 million in military losses alone.

I know people from Piedmont and Berkeley that almost exclusively wear shirts with pictures of the AT/AT looking dock loaders or Oakland A's logos.

I've definitely noticed that people from New York and the East Bay area will rep their set with almost no provocation. I will be talking about carrots, and they will start talking about how they eat carrots back home in Oakland/Brooklyn. It's not a purely Texan phenomenon.
