Yeah, some of his onscreen stuff is yelly (especially Randy which was just a joke for an Apatow movie that turned into an encore), but this is incredibly thoughtful. I'm looking forward to it now.

you know that's a thing, yeah?

We love jellybeans and so should you!

So did the AV Club cast a curse on all departing writers?

it's worthwhile just to search for O'Neal's author page and bookmarking that. Also there was an article on Selena Gomez that was genius.

This has been an entirely shitty and unreasonable line of argument based on nothing more than an attempted gaslighting. Surely there are better things to do in life than accusing people who are not trolls, who never troll of being trolls. That's just insulting. I'm a sour and combative creature, and the only upshot to…

I haven't seen it yet (maybe tomorrow), but all of that is really well said. I really dislike how tropes have gotten a bad rap, when the most fundamental forms of story-telling (ie fairy tales) have long followed formula, and western poetry is built on easily repeated incantations.

If you haven't already, this would be a great time to quit paying attention to beema.

This is a poorly formed opinion.

It doesn't seem any sign of dying. Every now and then some hardcore users swear off the site, but it's so suitable for moody high schoolers that it has to be self-sustaining.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

RIGHT?! Considering how in depth he usually goes, it was surprising to see him just go "don't vote for Harper because he's an arsehole."
