I'm giving this art project a C-.  Hackneyed overtures to taboo sexuality (so 1980s), combined with a boring critique of celebrity culture and the influence of mass media on "art" and "discourse." Yawn.

Poor pride and prejudice and zombies.  It's been Willoughby-d and left at the development altar.

Purim is awesome.  It has the best cookies of all the Jewish holidays.

Sean's getting in touch with his snarky feminine side today.  Because boys like to feel pretty & horribly bitchy too, dammit!

Awww man! Sean O'Neal writes for Jezebel now too?!!!  OMG OMG OMG

Your life makes me sad.  It's like a Bukowski novel without any of the "I'm a poet! I can be an asshole!" excuses.

I still occasionally have nightmares about the big dude with a sex dungeon inside him. The image of Trevor crawling into that pink, fleshy mass creeped me out.

Persuasion is unfairly underrated, possibly because it's protagonist is older, a little sadder, and a hell of a lot nicer than the typical Jane Austen heroine.  And, maybe because she's older, her love is deeper and more passionate for having been squashed for almost 1/3 of her life.

Because that's totally what you do in that situation, ladies.  Dance like a tree in a wind storm.

actually, the movie bombed in the UK and it had a hard time finding an American distributor.  Based on people I know who've seen the movie, I have a really hard time believing it's good.

Her mouth is suggestively open and the guy is reassuringly average (w/ a neckbeard no less)…so yeah, they think they're marketing to their target demo with that ad.

"Hey Sean, we're making a movie, but only like about 18 pages of the first dude (or pair of dudes) script.  We fired the second guy after a month. Wanna move to Bulgaria and write the the movie on the fly?  Also, the director doesn't really care about character or any of that stuff - he's a visual director - so…

whoa. who are you people quoting callahan's on the avclub? are you from around these parts or just visiting?

I like my serial killers middle aged and concerned about winning the best village competition.

Saw Attack the Block w/ an Edgar Wright Q&A chaser.

Can't we hate on the fact that he feels the NEED to put her in stuff even though she can't act because it's a thing other directors do in their movies?

I liked Captain America more when he was a puny weakling. Steve Rogers seems like a nice guy.

I second Clive Owen's goony little brother. He's good looking in a doomed to work a coal mine/rough people up in a gang sort of way.

So they spun off a show about Samantha, but made it slightly more age appropriate? 'Cos obviously if you're going to have a show about AARP age women, they have to be slutty to be interesting.

The first 200 pages of Kraken reminded me a little too much of Neverwhere. The second 200 were a blast. The ending was meh to the 10th power and illustrates perfectly why certain sci-fi tropes kinda suck from the "emotional resolution" standpoint.
