Oh, I forgot one. The sort of person who criticises a film's quality because it's about middle-class or wealthy people, and/or people who say such a film is bad if it doesn't criticise the rich or wealthy lifestyle that they have.

" and literature (and I'd go so far as to argue poetry) is the highest means of doing so."

When I say deal breaker, I really only mean "A conversation I couldn't take seriously"

Nope. They're utterly different and Rand would've hated her.

- Regularly re-read passages day to day
- Aesthetically I enjoy the visual way the look in my room
- The ability to lend to others (how would one borrow books from friends like you said, if those friends didn't own books?)
- For the same reason that other people enjoy owing personal things.

TV 'evolving' doesn't necessarily equate to there being 'better' shows. Doesn't mean there isn't, but those two points aren't necessarily linked.

Lol. Terrible?

Anne Coulter couldn't be further from Ayn Rand if she tried.

The only thing that really qualifies as a 'deal breaker' for me is people who over-emphasise gender studies and identity politics when talking about art. I find a great deal of the time the people that do tend to have a poorer knowledge of the technical and craft side of art, and aren't able to discuss things on that…

"Each is a bloated, self-righteous brick"

Man. AV club has become weird.

What an uninteresting review.

No. That's an absolutely disgusting and dangerous way to look at the case and law in general. Seriously, what a stupid fucking post.

I'm always pretty skeptical of a reviewer when they get too critical of a lack of plot or narrative. Especially when it's a book where plot/narrative is of little importance to the author, or at least, not something that's particularly emphasised on purpose.

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. Directed by F.W. Murnau: A classic, beautiful silent film from the German great that I thought was utterly charming. The thing I really like about silent films is how expressive the actors can be with their facial expressions and O'Brien, Gaynor and Livingston were excellent in this…

I'm sorry but the "kudos to some person for 'prodding' us into examining things" excuse is largely bullshit and something tells me you wouldn't extend the same sympathy to certain other beliefs in society. His 'prodding' is largely juvenile and idiotic and adds nothing to any real genuine discussion about politics or…

"And the Sorrows Of Young Werther? I don't even know what to say to that except there's really no accounting for taste."

That's awesome :)

I look forward to it.

Nobody better?
