"…the film takes a quiet, restrained approach to a story punctuated by moments of bloody violence, building to a dark climax that could be read as wish fulfillment and a haunting final image."

I need Dr. Rockso to be prominently involved.

Andy and Ollie, the Pesto twins on Bob's Burgers, strike me as the spiritual successors to Walter and Perry in some ways.

Well, there were a lot of lesbians running around… gay men and transgender folks, too. I went to my first midnight screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show when I was 12 and my first drag show at 15.

All good. Truth be told I'm probably cranky, too. It's 1 a.m. here but I can't sleep. Sorry for being an ass.

With a little Arrested Development peppered in, as well. My moms were often soused… lots of lying… we often had bananas on hand…

I wouldn't call it sensitivity so much as a pet peeve. I have a background in linguistics, and so I notice how prescriptive grammarians (not you) are wrong an incredibly large percentage of the time. That same background also made me painfully aware of how marked my speech is, and so I'm insecure, yes. How that…

They drank beer instead of gin and tonics, as well. Working class Patsy and Edina.

I don't know why. If you had waited a split second, you would have seen that I had already corrected it.

So it was half-dig at my grammar. No worries. Between this and the hyper-vigilant criticism about a typo I had already fixed, the first two replies were typical AV Club interactions for me.

They're kind of the kids of the group, with Britta and Jeff the dysfunctional parents, Shirley the doting grandmother (even though she's Jeff's age, dammit) and Pierce the creepy uncle.

Not sure if that's a genuine question or a dig (poor grammar on my part?), but I'll assume the former.

I grew up with lesbian moms so… Kate and Allie maybe?

Absolutely. They used real meat, headcheese, animal bones, etc. Burns raided local ranches and a veterinarian's boneyard to get pieces for it all. The dinner scene, especially, was bad because they covered up the windows and lit everything artificially to get the shots, and the food was left out and rotting in the…

That came across as pissier than I intended it to be. I'm just not on board yet; the prequels killed my capacity for irrational exuberance. While I'm thrilled that the use of CGI has been kept to a minimum and the grittier textures of the OT have returned (at least somewhat), the trailer left me with a heavy taste of…

That makes sense. I read some supposed leaks that he's a villain and I figured the lack of Hamill in the trailers, poster, etc., confirms that, but who knows if the leaks are true in the first place.

Where the green women at?

He's definitely one of the villains. I'd bet good money that the split second we see of Carrie Fisher in which she's being embraced by Ford is about Leia being upset that Luke went to the Dark Side. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they're cribbing from the now non-canonical Expanded Universe in which Luke does…

I hope it's just poorly edited, and not reflective of the actual film's tone or story.

Mine will forever be the Ermahgerd Fancy Feast cat:
