To be fair, “24 hours” was kind of an anomaly in Sandman and the comic never really relied on that degree of horror again. I think Gaiman was still tinkering and trying to find the story’s voice in those early issues (especially with the clunky narration) and despite some powerful moments, it didn’t really settle into…

Man, the 2010's were arguably the best decade in history for TV animation, and apparently we’re going to be following it up with a massive contraction of the industry. First Netflix cancels virtually every cartoon it had in the pipeline for the crime of not being Boss Baby, and now WB, which has been one of the…

He is not on trial for defamation. He already lost that trial and was found liable when the judge entered summary judgement against him in November because of his “willful noncompliance” with discovery.  The proceedings now are just to determine how much it is going to cost him.

Who wants quality scripted series when you can have awful reality TV?

You’re absolutely right, but at the end of the day WB had an almost finished superhero film starring a woman of color and they canceled it. There is no context where that changes.

I agree completely that she long ago paid for her bad decisions. And the Democrats’ lifetime plenary indulgence for the Clintons is absurd. It makes a complete mockery of their claim to be the party of feminism. But she was an adult, who hit on and pursued him.  On that point I go with the argument that women have…

I think there’s a difference between the other changes Beyonce has agreed to make and the request here. It’s good that Beyonce is acknowledging a failure to give credit to certain artists, and that she is eliminating ableist language about physical conditions over which people have no control. But cheeky lyrics are a…

I’m older than him?!
Man, I did not need that today.

I haven’t read a word of this yet, but on behalf of all AVC readers, thank you for not making this a slideshow.

This fact haunts me.

Supposedly the last act of BP was redone basically at the last minute, which explains why the CG there was so much worse than the rest of the movie. (Although frankly I don’t give a shit if CG is bad, that’s the least important and least interesting element of any movie)

Let’s see minority directors (who just came off the successful bad boys 4 life and critically acclaimed Ms. Marvel), female screenwriter, female Latina lead. Reports from “sources” that it was irredeemable smell like racist, sexists executives making up excuses.

F you Warner. Disney better grab Leslie Grace for a…

I think I’d prefer to see a full production of the musical from Bob’s Burgers, Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl

C’mon. We need more railway puns.

Straight guy here. This movie is awesome and very underrated as a Zemeckis picture. It’s very fun. Sure, the satirical targets are very old (like Madeline and Helen get) but you get involved because of these delectable characters and the story’s sheer entertainment value, which includes a fantastic production design,…

Can we just start a new wave of surnames with future themes? Like, how would we go about that? Just start a new generation of last names like “Jetson” and “Asteroidsmith” and “Holograham”, try to kickstart the flying cars and dome cities that way. 

I prefer this version:

The film’s ending moral, that true immortality comes from creating a legacy that will outlive you, has become far more poignant with Bruce Willis’ dementia and forced retirement.

 Because prison is a terrible system that fixes nothing. Especially for the ultra rich.  Forcing her to pay them with penalties is far better use of everyone’s time and money.  

I don’t have a preferred punishment. As I mentioned above, things like community service, restitution, wage garnishing as well as bans on certain activities (ie a convicted finance bro no longer being able to work in finance-related industries) are all at our disposal and cost far less than booking them into a one…
