Spring Breakers suxxxxxx

Extremely happy Short Term 12 didn't make it anywhere near this list; extremely bummed that The Babadook isn't on here. It's not getting love anywhere this year. Genre ghettoization, as always.

We could get into a debate about this, but New Mexico DOES have Hatch. I love Hatch.

Where'd you go to school? Had no idea you were a fellow Tucsonan.

Hey! I get all this heat-hatin' on Tucson, but I think 90% of people who assume Tucson is "bland and 'nothing'" and "ugly" just lump it in with any kind of Southwest stereotype. Pima County is a bastion of liberalism in Arizona, there's a spirited vintage/hippie/college town vibe to the downtown, it has the best…

Huh… someone deleted my comment. Perhaps this whole thing was an INSIDE JOB.

The day I finally saw a full-on flame war on the AV Club is a sad day indeed. What happened to this comment community? Left to the Dissolve I think.

They have a dress rehearsal right before the live taping to check for exactly what you saw in the video — does the idea play out in front of an audience or does it drag on laughlessly into purgatory. There was an amazing video you should check out called "Song for Daddy" Bill Hader released a few months ago that…

On Crystal Skulls: "How could you possibly make one of these except by some kind of magic?"
"In a factory… from glass?"
"Oh, c'mon! Could you make that?"
"No."
"Could anyone?"
"Yes."

i.e. all of the album Toxicity, which is a masterpiece, and has absolutely nothing to do with Staind or Puddle of Mudd or Linkin Park. If Toxicity came out today, Pitchfork would be frothing with delight.

I can't wait until the Iggy Azalea thing dissipates like the fart it is.

I was so stoked to see that story turned into an episode. I actually think the reality of it was much, much sadder than how it's depicted on the show. In the real world, outside of art, disappointment is a lot less cathartic than a teacher turning away from him sadly — it's an impersonal email filled with barely…

I didn't mean to sound as shitty as I did there; apologies. I don't think Travolta's star quality or dancing skill were much of the debate or premise here, I think D'Angelo is arguing for the emotional impact that can be achieved through film editing, and in the case of SNF Travolta's talent was elevated through…

That is the most gloriously nonsensical comment I've ever read on this website. If it's a calculated troll, I've just witnessed a work of pure craftsmanship. If you're trying to actually comment on what D'Angelo was saying about Travolta's dancing or how editing augments it, then… I'm just at an utter loss here.…

Why is it that Jimmy Fallon's been on TV for 15 years and yet he still looks terrified whenever he does anything?

Tucson, unfunny? Fuck off! We've got comedy clubs! Laffs… others, maybe. One night at a Laffs open mic, I ran a tally in real time of the Mexican jokes and gay jokes I was hearing. I ran out of paper space.

Objectively?

I don't understand this article. 5/6 of it is praising the movie's subtlety, and then you tack on that last paragraph contradicting everything you were just saying.
