Oh, whatever. Scientology is peanuts in the evil department compared to the Roman Catholic Church, which itself peaked in power and prestige a couple hundred years ago.

Isaac Hayes was originally fine with that episode, he even joked about it. It was the CoS that made him pull out of South Park, probably manipulating him while he was in ill health.

Chickenfoot, come back! You're not a freak! You're just stupid!

Wait a minute - THAT WASNT THE FINAL CHAPTER AT ALL

Even that's not it. You can't keep churning out twenty-sex episodes of something for seven, eight, nine years and not experience a significant drop in quality. There are only so many things you can do with those characters, only so many jokes you can tell, only so many times you can do "Homer suddenly decides to…

LINDA NEEDS HAYSTACKS

KILL IT. KILL IT NOW. KILL IT WHILE IT'S WEAK. KILL IT DEAD.

Christions are the most god-fearing of subatomic particles.

I may have "believed in the Doctor" back when I was a kid, but that Doctor - the Doctor who hung out with the Brigadier, incidentally - was the one played by Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker. Despite all the trappings, New Who has never been the same show: it's always been too full of itself, too fucking grandiose. The…

Why does Madame Kovarian do what she does? Because she's a bad person who's bad and does bad things and is also bad! Why does the Silence do what they do? Because they're bad people who do bad things and are bad!

Everyone's right! The offputting thing about Dawes Zero (the official name for the original offending Dawes post) was that it was just a straightforward, no-jokes-attached plug for a band unlikely to be an established/expected favorite in AV Club comment parts; that a glowing review of the album was promised added to…

We need to let it go because SHE'S FUCKING RIGHT. I rewatched Ghostbusters a couple months ago and man, it is NOT the work of genius my eight-year-old self thought it was.

KEEP TELLING IT LIKE IT IS, KOSKI

I realize the "will this win an Oscar" thing is the gimmick this feature is built around, but… I don't give a shit about the Oscars, I only care about getting to watch good movies. I could do without the dumb gimmick altogether, and with more about whether the movie in question is any good.

I prefer guinea pigs.

"An astonishing body of work"? Oh, please. He made Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown, and a lot of mediocre Oscar bait, and absolute shit like The Ninth Gate, Pirates, and What?.

The book is laughably amateurish horseshit. I mean, seriously: the movie is a dark and disturbing meditation on isolation and madness and personal demons twisted and exaggerated in a dark and disturbing place, and the book is all… WOOO, KA-RAZY GHOSTS, hedge animals that come to LIFE! Jesus. I give Kubrick a ton of…

Some things with great endings: The Wire, The Prisoner, Blakes 7, Brazil, 2001, Withnail & I, Moby-Dick, Grendel, By Night In Chile, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Ironically, the actual real-life current mayor of Chicago was the actual real-life model for that skeezy creep on the West Wing played by Bradley Whitford who kept trying to passive-aggressively fuck his secretary. Sooooo… don't think of "The Boss" as "The West Wing" for conservatives; think of it as the sequel to…

It's called Frajer. And I should know - I'm Frajer.
