The EW article they link to refers to the "superhero-industrial complex" wanting to assimilate Joseph Gordon-Levitt. That's pretty funny.

Aren't we though? If you're not a serious person you're a frivolous person, and frivolous people are just a waste of everyone's time.

I'm gonna call you out on this. Is there much quirk in Girls? Is there much solipsism in New Girl? The reasons to find either of these women annoying are completely different, the only thing they really have in common is they're both women.

It was a clever tactic to deflect criticism that the Av Club doesn't hire any black women either. A site written by dates has no responsibility for diversity.

I don't know if it's established that Batman would let a hostage die rather than kill a bad guy in a fight situation. It doesn't really come up because he doesn't use guns. And it's not his only internal conflict, in The Dark Knight alone he's conflicted about whether to reveal his identity or not after the Joker says…

Can't speak for Superman, but if Batman were to kill a supervillain he'd lose credibility, the police wouldn't be able to support him, he'd be declaring himself completely above the law. Plus, power corrupts. So many dictators have started by taking what they saw as necessary measures.

This is a stupid post. Batman regularly comes into conflict with super-villains who want to kill him and destroy Gotham city. Very few characters face more conflict than Batman. He literally goes out every night and seeks violent conflict with criminals. He doesn't even put on the Batman mask unless he's planning to…

I feel like The Town is the kind of movie 15 year olds who think they're big movie buffs would love. The kind of kids who 10 years ago would've been big into Leon and think that made them sophisticated art movie connoisseurs (full disclosure: that kid may have been me).

Kanye's the John Lennon of hip-hop. In 30 years everyone will forget they thought he was a douche and ancient Dad rock sites like Pitchfork will write misty eyed articles about how his "George Bush doesn't care about black people" speech changed the world.

This is like the bit in Good Will Hunting where everyone's all "a janitor solved the equation? How can that be!"

It's funny, if O'Neal had written an article mocking Lindeloff for being a whiny baby who still can't get over the fact that some people didn't like the end to his show (and you never can tell which celebrities will get the carrot and which will get the snark from O'Neal these days) Dowd's comment would have gotten at…

Haha, I love that the window between hype and backlash has now gotten so tight that a pilot getting picked up is enough to start a backlash against that pilot.

That's ludicrous, by the time he performed at the Grammys Frank Ocean was well past buzz and into universal adoration. He could shit himself on stage and change his name to a symbol and it wouldn't make a difference. You're acting like people hadn't heard that Forrest Gump song, it was on the album that everyone loved.

Haim confused hipsters by calling their song The Wire. They see The Wire and they can't help but approve. Lana Del Ray's gonna try that approach with her big comeback single, Breaking Bad.

It's interesting how because there have been so many comedies that had bad pilots and turned out to be good, it's now expected that all sitcom pilots should be bad, and considered unreasonable for someone to voice disapproval of the pilot episode of a show. They really got us to set that bar low.

Limited series are a good idea, but a limited series run of Fargo is a bad idea. How is this not going to just be an extra long remake of the movie?

Yes, of course you can actually go to those sites and get all your news without viewing the rest of twitter. Like you said, the content is up to the user. I know you're getting defensive because you don't want people to think you're dumb for using twitter or whatever, but trust me, I neither know nor care how…

Twitter cannot be compared to a newspaper. It's maybe on the level of a celebrity gossip magazine or wrestling fanzine.

I don't see how it's "deeply selfish" to tell people they don't need to be on twitter every second. Seems to me like Bitch Hunter's giving people some sensible tough love advice that will ultimately make them better people. Sounds pretty selfless to me.

The most famous quote is he thinks Kubrick "thinks too much and feels too little". All the other personal jibes are along those lines. Kubrick's cold, his films are cold. I always hated the cold accusation that gets thrown at film-makers, the Coen brothers get it too sometimes. In fact I've only ever seen it used as…
