The whitest comment of the day. No small feat in the land of the AV Club.

Speak for yourself.

The ol' AV Club's anti-"traditional" Bond stance is reaching self parody.

Marvel Netflix shows are dull and unwatchable but Erik LeRay Harvey was the shit as Dunn Purnsley. That episode where he menaces Chalky in the jail cell was quite an introduction. I'm happy he got a solid gig.

R-Rated interpretation of the Hellfire Club, please.

A nihilistic Pizzolatto-esque Miami would actually have been fantastic. Reconcile with Fukunaga or even bring back Justin Lin and shoot all that neon

Yeah, I'm pretty positive of this too. Related, I read a piece on Vulture a few months ago how Boardwalk Empire was an underappreciated gem. Geez guys, maybe you should have given it a chance at the time instead of dumping on it from the outset.

Oh yeah, the whole gritty, original, experimental 70's movies giving way to corporate blockbusters is an old cliché but its actually really accurate in relation to the tv landscape right now.

I sampled a few episodes, and my favorite character was Kitty. What a beautiful woman. Those glasses and business clothes tho.

Even though I liked S2 more than most, after Southern Gothic and LA Noir, I'm not sure what other traditional American crime genre would have been worth tackling. New York's been done to death. Chicago/Chi-raq could have been topical and interesting, but I think the knives would REALLY be out for that one.

But enough about Game of Thrones.
I kid (or do I?)

In defense of True Detective Season 2, it was a fascinating mess. I can't think of many other experiences like it. It carried the first season's tradition of having some of the best set pieces done on TV (the street shootout, and the party infiltration).

Pulling the Boss(!) reference out of nowhere.

Olivia Munn always seems, to me, like she's playing the part of an actor playing a part.

This. This. This. I've noticed there's an increasing desire for homogeneity in products among a certain segment of the internet fanbase population as shown by the never ending appetite for CW superhero shows and Marvel movies.
As an example of the flipside of this phenomenon, there's a True Detective story that will…

This isn't Ghostbusters though, which basically any bunch of interchangeable comic actors (and Ernie Hudson), male or female will do.

Hey man, at least it was trying something. I'd take it over the assembly line MCU crap.

I saw the Ang Lee Hulk in theaters, and definitely had a "Huh. That was certainly….something" reaction but the more I've seen it on tv, that movie had a cool aesthetic, a hugely likable supporting cast (Connelly and Elliot in particular) and best of all, a lack of annoying quips. Bright green Hulk hasn't seemed like…

The big question from this is wtf happens to starz lol.
Their main studio movie contract was with Disney and its entities. They've been beefing up their streaming back catalog but as far as new releases go, they're in a precarious position. Granted Showtime has made a go of it with even WORSE contracts with movie…

The best part about physical media going the way of the dodo. Less people borrowing your stuff and scratching, spilling on, and "losing" it. My weirdest return was my brand new Gladiator dvd that was given back to me practically frozen(!) like it was being kept in the freezer.
