This is not the greatest post in the world, no.

Stephen Root is such a gem. The casting is so damn top notch, on all fronts (but more D’Arcy Caden, please!)

Also worth mentioning is Fuches getting his teeth filed. Then after ten or twelve good raspings, the Chechens ease up and the poor guy spits out what has to be some sort of white calcium mulch. Good Lordy Lord, that was funny.

The Russian wife barging into the garage complaining about the noise and not giving a fuck about Stephen Root getting his mouth sawed up was the icing on the cake for me. Damn, is this show fun!

I thought everything with Brandy was essential to the season here. The relationship between her and Ash is arguably the biggest turn, and I loved seeing the stages of fury she went through towards the guy.

Oh yeah. They’re all fucking pricks.

Is this film actually trying to discourage me from watching it?

I’m super glad you liked it! I agree that that’s all interesting stuff. The problem for me is that NTA are *also* self-righteous hypocrites, and so the whole premise seems flawed.

I think this is where the backwards timeline is starting to really pay off. As we start to learn how someone so obviously smart and superficially charming could spiral into a murderous rampage, the impulse is to develop a sense of sympathy. By showing the murders first: it gives every (subsequently shown) prior…

I’m thinking he gets super, villianous legs or something. Bear legs.

I’ve been a Balloon Shop hardcore (egad, is that really a thing?) since their early days. I’ve always felt that Olan’s particular wackiness needed Thomas’ more even-keeled steadying influence and Josh’s slightly unhinged third wheel to keep from being tiresome. Olan’s The Last Scene series started off eminently…

It’s a turd that falls apart completely in the third act.

COUNTER-POINT: The Game is a total fun blast of a movie.

Thankyou, IV. This is the kind of critical analysis you just don’t get at the New Yorker.

Goliath: Not always a measure of horniness, but Goliath had many children.
Benaiah, Jashobeam, Shamgar, Abishai, Eleazar, Adino: Not enough information.
Uriah the Hittite: Least horny. First husband of Bathsheba, cuckolded by King David. After Bathsheba became pregnant, King David unsuccessfully tried to talk Uriah into…

Okay, but if we’re just going to accept that Samson is the Bible’s horniest strongman, then I demand a complete list of all the other strongmen of the Bible, in order of horniness. I need context.

Because this site fucking sucks now.

- Lady Eve hasn’t technically done anything on screen and is likely not a fighter, but she’s far more terrifying than DeVoe, Cayden, or Reign.

Really, really going to miss this column. It’s the last of what the AV Club used to be like. Very excited for your Age of Heroes column next!
