You don't live in Austin do you, because I am totally stealing this idea… though if you did we could go as Marty and Marty Jr. And we would win all the more Miller Lite  t-shirts.

I don't know if you have noticed but we are already knee deep in 90's nostalgia. I mean the AV Club is revisiting Pete & Pete, and Nick has pretty much brought back Nick at Nite from the 90's. I am pretty sure the cycle of nostalgia goes as such: Once a generation hits 18 - 28 they get nostalgic for the pop culture of…

I am looking forward to 50/50 and so much so for Drive, I love the trailer and that write-up sold me completely on needing to see it.

I thought you were being over the top with that Gus Van Sant movie, mostly because of the glut of twee/hipster/maniac pixie dream girl movies we have been subjected to as of late but geez that trailer was revoltingly twee, it was literally twee as fuck. It was so clumsy and unbelievable, I feel really let down because…

Way to ruin my morning NBC Universal, I was all prepared to laugh uproariously and now you've gone ahead and made me cry tears of disappointment. Shame on you.

The problem isn't asking the staff for recommendations for other people, it is when people ask the staff where a book is located, or ask for a book using vague descriptors. I just have a problem with all the people complaining about how staff didn't know such and such book when clearly they knew enough information…

Exactly @avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus  who the fuck doesn't know how to find a book in a book store. 
Step 1: Know the genre of book
Step 2: Roughly know the author or title
Step 3: Fucking find the book in the appropriately labeled section.

How is the best case scenario for Person of Interest not having it become Jesus running around Manhattan glowering at people. It is like the Jesus videos on Youtube where they overdub that old school Jesus movie they gave people for free years ago. Here it is, http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Have you seen the new Penguin releases for the classics. They have a whole section in Bookpeople in Austin that is just the revamped Penguin books. It is gorgeous!

Dear AV Club, 
I don't know if you have noticed but this article has, at the time of this comment, 250 comments. True some of them are merely concerning nostalgia or reflections on past experiences. But just about all of them, I would say all but there was that firsty thread full of canceraids and such, are all about…

I don't know I just got introduced to chicory coffee that is used often in New Orleans and apparently the rest of the south and it is pretty damn good, much better than starbucks. Though the family that introduced it to me is known for making super strong coffee so that may change the taste of it a little. But damn it…

I am loving the Austin library branches, there are 23 different branches throughout the city which makes interlibrary loans the shit, and for the most part I don't have to worry about it because about 10 of those branches are within 15 minutes of me and so rather than wait to for the book to come to me I can easily go…

I'm from the Philadelphia area and I definitely feel the same way. I prefer B&N to Borders any day, well except now that Borders is having their huge liquidation. I always felt that B&N had a better layout and looked cleaner. Maybe it was all aesthetics, that and the fact that there were many more B&N in the west…

I was in one in Houston this past weekend that was 60-80% off and picked their fiction section clean of what was left that was decent. Managed to grab Ulysses, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and The Dharma Bums. Not a bad haul if I do say so myself. I almost picked up the first two seasons of Breaking Bad but they…

"dancing away my hunger pains,
movin my feet so my stomach won't hurt.
I'm kinda like Jesus, but not in a sacrilegious way"

I feel like the majority of the posts have been about how war is bad or racism is bad. And correct me if I am wrong but few people can claim that war isn't hell regardless of if they think it is justifiable or not. Sure the first page was full of a debate regarding the ethics of eating meat but there was also quite…

I agree, that is one of my favorite books of all time. I feel like it has the expectation from to people to be read as a foretelling of what will happen, in a literal sense, when I feel as if Orwell cared less about the particulars of the way the government controlled, and more the psychological ramifications behind…

Can you put this in podcast form so we can hear her lovely accent?

I think you meant: Bill Haverchuck: Great character or greatest character?

The jury is still out on that one. I hear it is next in line after science.
