It's also acceptable if it's The Max, as in the diner frequented by the gang on Saved by the Bell.

Given the shading, I think it's a combination of the two…

I would just like to point out that, in the mid 90's, Better than Ezra had the number one album.

I think it's wise not to allow commenting on that column. First, he's not an official AV Club columnist, it's more of a syndication dealie. Second, I could see those threads going down a dark, disturbing (and probably hilarious) road.

Nah, I see where Zack's going with this one. He's not praising Michael Bay for his talents and abilities. He's admiring his consistency. It's like admiring Uwe Boll's commitment to suckitude.

For me, it's the notion of "action for action's sake." I don't mind Greengrass's style, as long as the action has some meaning and purpose. The action in MBMs is nothing more than "action for action's sake."

Dammit, JVS, I scrolled down to post that exact same comment.

Also, what's with the pompadours? Why not give them individual hairstyles? Dave should have an afro, Suzy Cube should have long hair, and Esquival, well, the pompadour look works for him.

I had the same question. I thought maybe esquival was spanish for vanilla or something, but then I realized vanilla is probably "van-nee-ya" in spanish.

THAT is a fucking great idea. By making the BOWL out of rice krispy treats, you avoid the frozen marshmallow/rice krispy conundrum. Cheers to yo mama!

I have enjoyed the Piv in plenty of earlier projects, including, but not limited to PCU, Grosse Pointe Blank, "Seinfeld," and yes, Judgment Night. He has fucking squandered all that good will over the last few years. Fuck him.

I"m not encouraging anyone to actually visit the Piv's Twitter page and view the offending photo themselves (I visited so you don't have to), but the comments below that picture are hilarious. They start off all dick-sucky for Dane Cook, and devolve (evolve) into comments about the complete douchiness of the trio…

Michael Connelly
Noel, I've read alot of Michael Connelly's books, and while many of them were enjoyable (I loved "Blood Work" and some, but certainly not all, of the Harry Bosch novels) but did you ever notice that EVERY one of them had some story line involving pedophelia? In some cases, it was a minor plot point,…

If he had thrown in an "oh man" I would campaign for him to take a permanent seat next to Ms. Gillette.

So basically you have more children so you can cast them off into hell, thus protecting you from an eternity of hellfire and damnation. Makes perfect sense to me.

Holy shit, Duggar Buggar, you got fucking William Blaked! Twice! Chew on that shit, motherfucker!

Seinfeld
Jerry: Now why would a junior high school want to screw with my head?

Hey MelissaW, how are you doing finger quotes and typing at the same time?

I rather enjoy the comic strip "Before Christ"

Couples Retreat
I haven't seen the trailer for this, but the punctuation mistakes make me want to punch someone in the face.
