I'm going to be at the NBC Upfront. I promise to smuggle in a big billboard with the following: "WHAT ABOUT COMMUNITY? INQUIRING MINDS AT THE AVC MESSAGE BOARDS WANT TO KNOW"

Just want to thank the AV Club for this series. Really great stuff. A cool way to change the story a bit from the standard festival reporting. Love going a bit deeper into key films.

I don't know - I bet it would be hot.

Aww. You win, but we've all lost
