I don't like the Goonies either. I haven't seen Gremlins since I was a kid, so I don't really remember. But Gremlins 2 is something of a masterpiece and I watch it often even as an adult.

Totally. I also just think he's too…pretty? I guess that's prejudiced of me, but there's that line in Seinfeld where Kramer is asked if he's ever killed someone and he responds with "What? You think these hands have been soaking in ivory?"

I finished half-watching the second season of Hannibal. I'm not sure I'm on board with the show as much as other people are…the cinematography and the creative murders keep me watching, but otherwise I'm bothered by a lot of things. I think Hugh Dancy was incredibly miscast and I don't like the whole

Even when I thought the hot coffee lawsuit was a frivolous joke, I still didn't understand why it riled people up.

That was my reaction. I was excited because I thought the tv show was back on….but a movie? How are they going to condense 6 volumes of comics into a movie? Or will they just focus on the beginning of the story and hope for sequels?

I didn't like the book…I thought it was soccer mom dark. It was just a bunch of pearl clutching touchstones like oversexed teens and cutting. Oh my. Give me a break.

I felt like they knew who was going home before the routines and were looking for reasons to criticize the bootees. I didn't think either dance (the phones or the swing) were particularly good, but I also thought that some of the dances that got heavily praised were pretty shitty too.

Eh, I really like Kickstarter and I hate seeing it abused because it just attracts other abusers. I don't think I'm jealous…I wouldn't give a shit if he won the lottery or found a pile of cash in the street. I just don't want to have to wade through piles of "I'm making an omelette!" kickstarters when I browse the

I have a friend who, after divorcing his wife and otherwise being into women his entire adult life, "discovered" that he was gay and now posts outraged messages on facebook about gay rights, moreso than the rest of my gay friends combined.

Well that was awfully condescending for someone who completely missed the point of my post.

Personally, I think 2 Broke Girls is shitty because the jokes aren't funny, not because someone's never been to Brooklyn. Even if she had been born and raised in NYC but the show remained otherwise as-is, it would still be shitty because the jokes would still be shitty.

I didn't like Norwegian Wood at all.

Wow. Can I steal the line from another poster who said you worry about things that don't mean anything?

Huh, I remember it being pretty much all schmaltz, all the time, save the opening battle scene. I'm not anti-Spielberg, but I do prefer it when he stays out of serious matters and sticks to his adventure blockbusters.

"You know that girl Beth Behrs on "2 Broke Girls"? She'd never been to Brooklyn before being in that show. If she wasn't so winning, wouldn't that make you kind of sick?"

Fair enough, but my use of the word "upset" is also a silly thing to get upset about.

I feel like this is a silly thing to get upset about. You're basically telling someone who just readily admitted he liked something that he shouldn't be afraid to admit that he likes something.

I don't have a strong opinion of Del Rey either way, but this line got me:

I'm not exactly sure what we're arguing here anymore. I'm not asking you to respect or like it, I'm just stating that they have the right to post it to make money and they have the right to not take it down even though the AV Club god, Louis CK, asked them nicely and everything.

Kiddie porn is illegal and harmful to those involved in the making of it.
