Django Unchained and Hateful Eight are both really fucking good. As is Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which I suspect is one of those movies that’s going to become even better-received as time goes by.

Welcome to the AV Club, where Ellie Kemper gets called a “KKK Princess” because she appeared in a pageant that was started by racists 30 years before she was born, but where this guy gets a fawning interview:

Speaking as a non-American, and the fight you’re still having to try and get universal health-care, I’d challenge the idea that you have a system in place that allows you to institute change and do better.

Hey everybody, remember this?

My understanding is that communism is widely understood to be a more extreme form of socialism. It’s one thing to support government control of major industries, redistribution of wealth, etc., but to be supportive of regimes that starved millions to death in the name of “progress”, have/had secret police forces, have…

Shang-Chi seems pretty straightforward to me. He’s a human with superpowers in the “normal” range of what we’re used to.

So the fact that Grimes is dumb does not surprise me in the least, but the fact that AV Club is now stanning for communism is just a little bit off-putting.

Are you Mr. T, by any chance?

Get back to work, Barsanti!

21 comments in and nobody has made the obligatory “It belongs in a museum!” quote?

It’s just so visually dark and grimey, in that uniquely late 80s/early 90s way. And, for a movie about teenage, mutant, ninja, turtles, way too grim and bleak.

So, who is the AV Club going to baselessly call a KKK member today?

I normally just poke fun at the empty and excessive wokeness of the modern AV Club, but this time I’ll just say: fuck you AV Club, and fuck you Tatiana for writing this drivel.

Chili’s does know a thing or two about shame...

What sort of injury makes one start to look like John Slattery?

I’d never heard that term before. Thanks for sharing.

I know it’s unprofessional and he’d probably get really annoyed, but I would love if it just once an interviewer asked, “David Duchovny, why won’t you love me?”

Judge Smalls is on my list of “villains that aren’t actually villains.” The guy was kind of a dick, but you’d be short on patience too if you kept trying to get in a quick 9 only to have Rodney Dangerfield ahead of you doing his full standup act.

I feel like the definition of “queer icon” has been significantly expanded recently. At this point if you’re a woman who doesn’t wear leggings you qualify as one.
