Anything is better than the treacly prose-poems to Breaking Bad every week.

So it turned from 'how do people deal with death' to 'how do people deal with life?' Sounds about right to me.

Someone needs to shove a wooden stake in Lars Von Trier's heart, cut his head off, stuff the mouth with garlic, and bury it all at a crossroads. Clearly that's the only way we can stop this madness.

The NRA just organized a recall campaign of two democratic senators in Colordao for the crime of trying to pass common-sense gun control legislation in the wake of the Aurora shootings. How's that for topical?

Ah yes, the cynicism-without-knowledge mentality of the very young. Of course, how else would a two-term vice president make any dough without lying about climate change? As a world statesman, it's not like he could've charged $50 grand for a one hour speaking engagement. Yep, totally had to to do the 'global warming'…

Yeah, the AV Club 'It's Always Sunny…' brain-trust is a lot like gun nuts, in that way. As long as you completely agree with them, everything will be ok. Oh but step one little toe out of line by saying something was stupid or lazy, and brother you've got guys with open carry standing outside polling places in…

Yes, both sides of this debate are equally bad.

@EIDan Here, let me simplify it for you: 1) they were racists and 2) you are a racist. Don't worry about it too much - literally every white person is - consequence of white privilege, nothing you can do about it. To understand why, for the love of Christ crack open a book.

God damn you @PawnTurnedQueen:disqus I just logged into say that!

Much like a line of cocaine after a night of drinking, I suggest following up with 'The New Year' in order to remember that, even when mourning, we are part of a continuum and that life continues to move on, with or without us. Always works to make me feel better.

Ugh, go back to reddit.

What could possibly happen in a person's life where they hate existence to the point they think that 'Ghostbusters 2' is a bad movie? It had Peter Macnicol for Christ's sake!

Literal reason(s) I have for reading The Newsroom reviews:

If you're not going to give me my weekly dose of shitting on Aaron Sorkin, then I literally have no reason to read these reviews.

@avclub-e3f5ab7f02122f95b801e13e2c586d6a:disqus too late. You already commented upon it. Boredom is all that's left to you.

@avclub-110f08d5c3133981366b5c53ace53241:disqus

Being born with a heart full of neutrality, natch.

@avclub-6ee934260c80f2e2f9098dcd3e44c032:disqus The ending implies he's just going to make the same mistakes all over again - that he didn't actually learn anything. Hence all the references to the Graduate.

@Scrawler2:disqus Christ dude, for someone who claims to hate it so much, you sure are giving away all your fucks on this one. Just accept you're utterly mistaken about the fundamental and completely obvious basis of the entire fucking movie and be done with it.
