Is anyone else getting a fucking full screen, click through ad that has nothing on it and won't redirect unless you click through whenever you go to the main page?

Probably don't want to tell people to stop watching the show at this point.

@avclub-ad45e11f2e88b8963920c79cd1d8755e:disqus AV Club liked those first two episodes a lot, so pretty bad, probably.

Ugh, I hated it for that. I wasn't brilliant. It was aggressively dumb and on it's nose about it. Basically everyone dies who's FUCK YEAH USA and the only guy left alive (besides the kids I think) is the lefty (jewish maybe? I can't recall) fucking hippie because duh.

I don't think it's really done anything that "shocking" at all or never tried to in any forced way. It's not for everyone, though, but I'll still argue that it's basically full on fucking art.

Very true. Back half of season 3 is always where the cracks start to show. Season 4 brings a lot of vague assessments like "I love this show but didn't something just feel off to you guys? I'm worried this show might not heal my cancer after all, y'all."

Checked after seeing the video.

Oh, man. You've never seen Audition? You should watch it pronto. Don't read anything on it. Just watch it. Trust me.

Yeah, I always thought they spread a good amount of humor throughout the series.

Drive could be pretty easy, actually. It's own trailer was nothing like the movie.

@leave_the_silver_city:disqus Super heroes are always at worst fascist or at their best vaguely Randian as seen in The Incredibles. There's no way to write a story about such Ubermen without it getting tinges of conservatism.

This is gonna be criminally underappreciated.

Man, I haven't seen that in years. Thanks for the reminder.

Totally. I went to an evangelical Christian school growing up, and my 4th grade teacher told us that Genesis was actually wrong because Adam & Eve weren't originally nude and then felt shame. No, nudity was so perverse that they were actually wearing flowing emerald robes (that the Bible forgot to mention), and when…

Wasn't their tagline for a while "A different kind of family?" I seem to remember a bunch of numbnuts conservatives making a stink about it because it had shows about teen pregnancy and shit on it or something.

Yes, I believe so.

Her secret?

He's always seemed sort of comparable to David Lynch formally in that they both have a particularly language of film that almost always explore the same themes, but in each one, they change the focus of the lens just enough that it produces an all together different film. Obviously, between the two, the themes and way…

I defended parts of the Sean Penn stuff above, but yeah, I think the origin of life sequence is actually pretty important to the overall film.
