Hahaha, oh man. There’s a ghost of a brilliant idea here, with the possibility that Margot is narcissistically convincing herself that some loser guy she ditched is actually a maniac who’s obsessed with her. That would be something of an interesting meta-commentary on Cat Person itself as a social phenomenon, since…

Yep, just got confirmation that AV Club is deleting my comments. They don’t even show up when you click on Pending. Pretty lame.

Wonder which senator is feeding Jimmy his talking points this time.

I think your joke (beginning a post with “what is wrong with white people?” and then accusing OTHER people of “teetering on racist” was a bit too subtle for many here. I liked it, though.

If you’re not for cultural appropriation, you’re for cultural segregation.

American Ninja AND Revenge of the Ninja? 2018's already looking line a winner.

Black people voted at about the same rate they voted for about any other Democrat. What sunk Moore is that he was so toxic a critical number of otherwise-reliable Republican voters crossed over, stayed home, or wrote in.

To really sell it and bypass the incredible coincidence, it would have been better if they had set it up in such a way that upon the revelation (or a re-watch), you’re thinking, “oh, of COURSE Liz is Toomes’ daughter!” As it is there’s simply no reason to suspect the two have any connection, beyond him mentioning his…

“Seriously, ever since Norman Osborn was revealed to be the Green Goblin, almost every Spider-Man villain that was introduced after has some connection to him.”

The equally casual way he says “it broke my heart to put that tumor in her head” was my favorite.

Ahem.

Every time I see The Handmaid’s Tale mentioned on here, I have a faint glimmer of hope that maybe THIS time will be the time AV Club finally recognizes their descriptions of that paranoid cartoon dystopia being “all too real” and “timely” for the hysterical theatrics that they are. And every time, that hope is crushed.

I only just recently got into Nier Automata and it totally rules, but boy howdy am I ever glad I started playing it before I subjected myself to this sub-Cracked level horse shit attempt at humor.

Hot Take #1: Yes, Margot’s perspective i shown while Robert’s isn’t— which makes sense, because the story is explicitly about female experiences as well as how modern dating can lead us to create our own false impressions of potential romantic partners. An un(?)intentional result of this is that while we get to see…

How much of a dork am I for thinking that since the clip used is from one of the Evangelion remake movies, as opposed to the original series from the 90s that was so much of the visual inspiration the article discussed, that it wasn’t exactly the best sample clip for the piece?

Was one of your movies in that marathon “Ruthless People”? Even in a cast of ringers Pullman stands out there. He gives one of the all-time greatest single-word line readings in history (“Cool.”)

Maul works in large part because he is seen so little. He’s not a complicated character or an evil commanding overlord; he’s a largely silent assassin and an unrelenting physical force. He always leaves you wanting more.

I gave up on this show after season one, hearing that it only got worse. When the fans brag it up as being a great show on the grounds that “ANYone can die!” I always ask “do you think Rick will die?”

Hard pass.

The ending of the book EXPLICITLY calls out the limits of delving too much into pop culture and nostalgia as a substitute for human connection. In the relentless backlash this book has received in the last year or two, virtually no one has noticed/remembered that and everyone instead insists it’s nothing but the “Durr…
