I thought it was a surprisingly short standing ovation. I know he's just 41 and has decades ahead of him hopefully, but I was expecting a three-quarters 'Sidney Poitier' at least. Long ceremony, though; maybe the audience checked out mentally around Sound Mixing.

I like to lurk Facebook comments because it illuminates people's real thoughts. When President Obama says he has utmost faith in the American people to not elect Donald Trump… that's how I know he doesn't waste his day reading Facebook comments. While YouTube is purely made up of trolls, the AV Club is too considerate…

Yup, this faux-torture and endurance narrative everyone tries to spin for difficulty seems to be appealing to the impulse to avoid another Kramer vs. Kramer over Apocalypse Now. While certain actions done in the name of film-making aren't necessarily sops to this demand for hardship—for instance, the insistence on…

I thought the idea was that it was an active investigation and search for Joy, so Jack's presence at the scene might have been able to help in case of a complication (e.g. not finding Joy immediately, wrong location, etc.).

I'm pretty much in the same boat. Their level of analysis has deteriorated over the years, but old habits die hard.

They quietly got rid of the paywall, right? Or did they just extend the US privileges to where I am in Canada as well? I don't remember reading anything about a new plan, but around a couple of months ago I realized I didn't have to open every new article in incognito mode any longer.

It's not remotely in the same league, but that rather explicit message from Spotlight resonated while I watched Concussion today.

Everest had this too, very frustratingly. Those of us who live in cold climates know to cover at least your nose in Arctic chills. Surely the real-life climbers on which the story was based would be more cautious, I would think.

Sure, what's one more? With all of this fragmentation, eventually people are going to be paying more combined for Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube Red, Hulu Plus, NBA League Pass, NHL Game Centre, NFL Sunday Ticket, MLB Extra Innings, Shomi, Crave, $5 Louis C.K. episodes, now Apple, and the like—not to mention Spotify…

Eventually award names will have to go the way of naming rights to stadiums and buildings, right?

And the tone of this Newswire (inadvertently) makes that same point—which Tarantino alludes to. I was half-expecting a lazy slam against Twilight or 50 Shades of Grey after I started reading.

If this was a scripted special with, you know, a plot and stuff, it would be worth watching. As is, though, they should stop referring to it as a reunion and call it a 'Tribute to Burrows' or something. The headlines I saw earlier in the day were really misleading…

It's weird that you mentioned that. I saved that paper for some reason on September 12, 2001 and still have it today.

What occurred to me—as part of this evil that these people did—is that I'm sure all of us have lazily looked up 'Things to Do' in Boston/Toronto/Miami/Munich/Paris/wherever. You know, checking concert listings, parades, local festivals, restaurant openings, games going on, and so forth. Just kind of clicking around,…

Those who irrationally rail against safe spaces themselves don't realize that they've been lifelong beneficiaries of others projecting a safe space onto them the whole time—from those others not calling them assholes after every unoriginal utterance.

God, you just know Rob Lowe is the type of person who's had someone drive him from Italy to France… while raving to his bored companions about how great it is that Europe has no border checkpoints. But now… the power of retweets beckons.

It also sounds like he's conceding at least one Clinton term.

I appreciate the way smartphones and modern technology are shown in the background of Dev's life, without too much attention drawn to it. From checking traffic to reading reviews to mentioning Rotten Tomatoes to looking up useless information, it's how people nowadays actually use these things.

Her being a Nina had to be a nod to The Americans, no? The only way to make it more obvious would have been to name her Mail Robot.

I love how unconventional this show is. As soon as he jumped into the closet, years of TV-watching trained me to expect wacky hijinks, farcical misdirection and close calls over the course of several minutes.
