Probably minority opinion: The nepo baby issue is overrated. The last name gets you the interview, you get yourself the job. And she’s absolutely right that the expectations are higher.

I am sure I am going to get attacked by the Swifties around here but a lot of her popular music and persona is about how she is the “wronged woman” in many relationships.    So her fanbase takes the lead from that and defends her like they are pit bulls.  

According to his fans, it all started when his daughter, Violet Grohl, criticized Taylor for using her private jet, which led to backlash from the Swifties. Let’s dive into this interesting discussion.

He was hysterical in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. 

Did Shane Gillis run over the AV Club’s dog or something? This is just pathetic.

I use it in my visual studies courses all the time. Even students who haven’t watched a single episode of BB and know only the context that I give them about the characters and situation are typically impressed by the fluid camera and long take.

There’s no complex camera movement involved, but Walt and Jesse’s climactic raging fight that ends with Jesse ordering Walt out of his life for good is done in a single take, with both Cranston and Paul having to nail the emotional intensity perfectly with nowhere to hide if they ever slipped.

Well, you have to know Werner Herzog: he likes his beer warm, his TV loud, and his homosexuals FLAAAMING!

The “maybe they’re just crazy in a room somewhere” trope has to be one of my least favourite lazy fan theories. It’s almost never based on anything actually present in the text - because it doesn’t need to be; if the protagonist is crazy everything is unreliable - and it usually adds nothing to the story thematically.

It helps that Alfonso Cuaron is 20 times the director Chris Columbus is.

I don’t know everything about the particulars of what happened here. But I reserve a special disdain for people who act like entitled dicks towards service workers. And if that's what happened here, Clarkson has joined that hallowed category.

It’s true that he played the character a little broad, but the third movie is so exceptional on all levels that you hardly notice. I wish Yates had made fewer movies and Cuaron had made more.

Yup. AV Club writers seem to constantly think that actors/comics owe them something specific, and then complain when that random expectation isn’t fulfilled. It’s bizarre.

I generally don’t see the point of criticizing criticism, but “thing wasn’t what I personally expected it to be” isn’t a critique so much as a kneejerk reaction. It’s something a good critic accepts and interrogates before subsequently writing something more thoughtful. “Why were my expectations so misaligned?” “Did…

What a bizarre critique. The special was funny;  like, really fucking funny. He revealed as much as he needed to in order to make the jokes work. Not every special needs to be doing some sort of Hannah Gadsby style confession.

So you spend the entire article telling us the multitude of ways the show fails in every aspect of it’s presentation, admit that it was universally hated by people on both sides of the culture war, (One of the few pieces of content they DO agree on), and yet still feed us the same old tired, “Unjustified condemnation…

He even does the laughing *for* you!

Will Forte should be higher and I’d fit Beck Bennett in there somewhere - I feel like in the last decade or so of SNL, he was the most underrated cast member. Get Moynihan outta there, maybe. Otherwise, pretty agreeable/predictable list.

He’s just a guy that got really good grades in business school.

you are the joke, thank you for being there
