“... eventual movie?”

no regular coverage

Unfortunately, no. There’s no one site that has everything the “old” aka “best” version of AVC had; great writers, variety of shows/movies, robust working comment system with an engaging community. Best you can do, as far I can tell, is piecemeal it. From what I’ve seen, Polygon and Vulture are decent, but both have…

Another vote for Polygon, specifically the entertainment section:

Yeah, I follow Polygon a bit. Some of their TV coverage irritates me though because they’ve spoiled a few things for me over the years through headlines or thumbnails with headlines.

Tasha is an editor at Polygon, which means not only does she write some of her own stuff, she has her own stable of freelancers, which used to include AVC’s own Roxana Hadadi (who now has a staff job at Vulture!) and still includes folks like Noel Murray and, less excitingly, me.

Sadly, not. Tasha Robinson is writing for Polygon, though, and I found myself visiting that site more and more often lately — especially for the non-gaming-related articles. (There are just a small part of the site, but the quality is often really good.)

If I had even the *slightest* interest in sports that might have been enough to persuade me.

Shit, if you got Tobias and Tasha Robinson and Dowd and Rife and maybe Rabin would pop in now and then? I might actually put money to that.

Tobias et al tried that with The Dissolve, which I think was funded by Pitchfork. It ran a year or so and tanked. Ad supported didn’t generate the right clicks. Bummer, too because they were doing really good work.

Only if they ban slideshows.

Shit’s weird, man. I have a lot more to say but I shouldn’t. 

We can call it... The Dissolve!  Wait, shit... 

They know that. This is 100% G/O media attempting to break the union.

The Dissolve 2.0!!!!

@AA Dowd - if you and a bunch of current/former AVClub writers end up spinning off to your own new website, I would happily follow.

Solidarity with AV Club writers!

“Oh, and remember: next Friday is Hawaiian Shirt Day!”

Welp, there it goes: “The AV Club” finally and completely joins Deadspin in being an entirely zombie property.

As someone who’d never heard of the character before, his simply being a black-furred, intimidating Wookie who makes Chewie look like a cuddly teddy bear was plenty to make his presence pop.
