I remember falling in love with Beaver's teacher Miss Canfield in season one (light seemed to literally emanate from her, which was probably some kind of lens effect or something).  So I was crushed when she was replaced by the less-friendly and less-angelic Miss Landers out of nowhere.  Anyone else remember Miss…

Hugh Beaumont was terrific in that role.  So was Tony Dow.  I always wished I had an older brother like Wally to guide me through life—one who was as unassumingly cool and willing to lend a helping hand as he was—and as such I always tried to emulate Wally's behavior when dealing with my own younger brother (I failed…

What makes it even more confusing is that there was an episode of B&B where Beavis imagines himself in a sitcom called "Leave it to Beavis", where he's basically a surrogate for the Beaver and his other "friends" play various supporting roles.  It also features Beavis exclaiming, "The Beaver kicks ass!", which I…

Agreed!  The script certainly had its share of problems and the action scenes were very Bourne-esque, but I appreciated the faster pacing and thought Bond had a better sense of humor in it than in Casino Royale or Skyfall.  I kind of liked the idea of Quantum too, and was actually pretty disappointed that the new one…

George Costanza sums the movie up pretty well: "[Lenny], just remember: it's not a lie if you believe it."

I talk like that sometimes.  Whenever I'm about to post something on these boards I look Jeeves squarely between the eyes and ask: "Jeeves…can I save the AV Club…?"  But the answer is always a big red "NO", which is why I hardly ever post anything.

Wait…2015?  Does this mean the next Avengers film will take place in the Star Wars universe?  Or vice versa??

My favorite is still "Old Habits Die Hard."

Has The Office had one yet?  I guess you could argue that the whole premise of the show is essentially them being held hostage against their will (in an existential sort of way), but I can't think of an episode that specifically fits the inventory criteria (except the fake hostage situation in the Michael Scarn movie,…

I seem to recall an episode of Family Matters where Laura and Steve (I
think) are being held hostage in a bank, and Steve imagines all these
scenarios where he's saving the day.  But then when he attempts to
actually do so he nearly gets himself killed, and instead Carl comes in
and heroically takes down the robbers…
