Doing it right.

“Humans just live short, boring, insignificant lives, so they make up stories to feel like they’re a part of something bigger. They want to blame all the world’s problems on some single enemy they can fight, instead of a complex network of interrelated forces beyond anyone’s control.”

Pennywise, actually. Jesus is all about the mosh pit.

Betcha you had to watch A Distant Thunder too.

Hey now, he’s made a pretty good Harry Mudd and he was great in Hesher.

I was a film and history double major in college, so analyzing the shit out of pop culture ephemera for inherent political messaging is second nature to me and you know what? I’m with you. Sometimes old, well-meaning stuff is just old, well-meaning stuff. The drive to assign modern political value on everything gets…

Rey’s parentage has been a source of debate between me and my friends since Episode VII, with me coming down firmly on the side of “her parents should be no one important,” for all the reasons outlined above: break the mono-myth pattern, do away with family=destiny, really commit to the idea of moving thematically…

Man, I hope so. Pre-Kinjapocalypse we had a pretty good Steven Universe fan community here at the AV Club. I want to see how many of us are still around. Folks like LibertyLass, Pearl Evangelist Sheltie, DV, Prestidigitis, Nemrex, Peridot with her log updates, and heck, even Adzl33t with his hate-watch snarkiness were…

Gonna avoid spoilers for Steven Universe even though the episodes dropped on the CN app and just say, “OW ! PARTY GUY! NO!”

... and also went out of their way to play acoustic guitar in the quad during their college days.

One more reason I’m happy to be a California resident. Looking forward to January. I’ll be trying this for sure.

Ah! I was wondering if it was based on a real person. The bits had a fully formed specificity to them that made me think they might be.

You deserve way more stars.

He’s totally in my face!

He’s hip, he’s cool...

Roy Moore would beg to differ.

Careful, Doug. Patty Mayonnaise is underaged and, well, that sort of thing doesn’t go over well right now.
