I think all shows are contractually obligated to have Jimmy Burrows direct their pilots and be left "director-proof."

And by maybe, I mean, get your coat.

So I'm as excited for a new Noah Baumbach movie as the next guy, but for the life of me I just don't get people's fascination with Gerwig.  I've been an unabashed Baumbach fan for years and Greenberg is the only movie of his that I can't totally love (and I love Margot At The Wedding, which seemed pretty divisive when…

Oh, I see now. Oops. Shows what I know.

Hahaha!! Perfect.

I don't mind having my bubble burst, but I'm not sure what you're referring to.  Is it my comment that the show speaks to my nostalgia?  I understand that 1995 is not really "vintage" (absent the recent trend of 90s nostalgia) and may very well be considered "contemporary," but it did occur 17 years ago when I was…

I'm sure this situation sucks for guy, but I still think it's hilarious.  It speaks to the warped fantasies of any of us who has ever seen concert crowds change before our eyes, particularly as a band gets big, making one nostalgic for the "good old days" or some such bullshit.  It's especially bad when it's not just…

For some reason (maybe because I was never a big fan of the Ringwald-centric Hughes movies?), I always associate Jon Cryer with the lost, one-season show "Partners."  I thought his comedic timing shone through really well in that and the show will always have a place in my brain's nostalgia center.  I don't know how…

Can…Lenny…have it?

My impression has always been the opposite, actually.  Especially after his appearance on Colbert, where he was basically laughing at how ridiculous everything he does is.  This is not surprising at all.

I think you're quite correct in that if film coverage is not what one came to this site for, then sure, their new project probably won't be up one's alley.  No arguing with that.  Although I doubt that there are many among the people who will miss the departing writers who are not interesting in their film writing.

So I don't know where to post this, but this seems as good a place as any.

I own that issue!  I was actually reading it a couple of weeks ago.

Hahah.  Thanks, @avclub-a3e80e62340f85e584f072b212415d32:disqus .  I'll stop by for the last few Murray ones, for sure.  After that, I'm gone.  No offense to Oliver Sava but his brand of comics criticism is not my thing; I can find the same inexplicable gushing-for-the-mainstream fanboy stuff in dozens of places…

Oh my gosh. That's it, it's over. I've been reading the AV Club since the very beginning…this is truly the end of an era. While it would be interesting to find out the details of just what prompted this sudden implosion, it's clear that, in any case, what made this site special will be gone. Not that it can't be a…

I think that is seriously among the most iconic (top 5 or so) quotes from Futurama that I feel will outlive us all.  And with good reason.

Now this made me laugh uproariously.

Are you saying you wouldn't?

Who?

Yes!  That was a great issue.  Made me weep in nostalgia for old issues of Dork.
