For some reason the first one that comes to mind is Rise of Skywalker, a movie whose story I am unable to remember almost at all, other than a few scattered images, Palpatine’s resurrection, and Finn’s entire character arc being a flat line of him running around yelling, “REY!”

Boots Riley? The Coup? Sorry to Bother You? C’mon

It’s just so funny that still no one knows who the fuck Steppenwolf is, or who Darkseid is, and for all intents and purposes, they’re the exact same villain, at least as far as the Snyderverse is concerned. Are they the same as the bad guy in Wonder Woman? Maybe! 

Isn't it unnerving how easily cults seem to gather on the internet? 

Thank God he’ll help unpack the religious imagery in Batman V Superman. It was just too darn subtle for me to pick up on without some help. 

Holy shit, he’s almost 50. He might be out-Paul Rudding Paul Rudd.

The fact that they made Dowd review this movie is just...weird and mean. Mean to dowd. Mean to the movie. Weird.

Oh, and Karen’s husband. Is anyone that bootlicking?

Parts of this show remind me a lot more of slow-burn survival horror than comedy. One thing that reinforces that feeling is that I wish that I’m looking forward to like, half the cast dying. Karen, the annoying bickering couple, Judd, and the bad math guy could all die, and I’d be aight.

Michael Jackson? He probably looked more like a skull before death than he does now.

To all the dorks stumbling in here to gallantly defend its honor from being besmirched, Dragon Ball Z is a bunch of fun ideas (training on a planet with crazy gravity, etc) all strapped to a grating, terribly told slog of a story. It makes the Hobbit trilogy seem tightly plotted, and the characters of a trashy…

There are some interesting picks here, but why is that Barker thing on the list? It’s just club sounds played for the length of a song. Just...pre-programmed button pushes. It sounds like generic background music from a 1999 video game. There’s just nothing there.

I like your point about him not having the imagination to change the future. Even when he creates life, he does so on an existing surface, using all preexisting animals and plant life and settings, down to literally bringing in the place he felt safest as a child. Nothing about his creation is creative.

Ooh fuck, didn’t know that

I’ll take my celebrities soliciting consensual sex work over assaulting and/or using power imbalances to coerce sex out of lower-status coworkers any day.

I refuse to watch this, but inexplicably still want to be in the conversation. Explain this to me now, comment section!

Every season has piled on problem after problem that they nearly miraculously resolve at the very end, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. I think (hope) that this season breaks that. I think this will end very darkly. Like, maybe they’ll actually “succeed” and be billionaires or whatever, but in a really dark…

Hey! Yeah, so no? Also, Catholicism is undeniably a force for evil. Like, historically and presently. The amount of pure, horrifying bad wrought by that corrupt, disgusting organization overshadows whatever puny good they’ve managed to scrape together every now and then so completely it’s absurd.

Can Catholicism hurry up and just die and go away?

Oh my god, was your editor out sick? Reading this thing almost gave me a headache. I'm not usually the typo police, but I like to expect better from the AV Club, even post-Kinja.
