Nah, "Blank Space" isn't a guilty pleasure unless you're one of those snobs who can't appreciate perfectly crafted pop music.

Square Enix has done too much great stuff to be hated completely. Even as far as video game publishers go, they're far from the worst.

If this column weren't being killed to make way for clickbait, a MWOF on Birth of a Nation would be fascinating. I'm really interested to know if that movie got piled on by critics simply due to the outside controversy.

Where did that news come from?

I really, really miss the classic AV Club writers of yore: Nabin, Tasha Robinson, Genevieve Koski, Sean O'Neal (who I know is still here somewhere, but not like he used to be). The movie reviews, Gamecological, and a fraction of the TV reviews are still great, but the rest of the site is a huge mess.

How many comments does this article need to get for AV Club to un-cancel MWOF? 12 million? Let's do it!

Jesse Eisenberg's writing skills have brought us one of the worst book titles of all time ("Bream Gives Me Hiccups"), so I give the existence of this show a hard pass.

I can't think of anything less interesting for one of my favorite directors to do than World War Z 2. I suppose Fincher's involvement would automatically make it better than the first one, but I'd rather he do anything else.

That'd be almost as exciting as when I discovered an old Toaster Strudel commercial starring JT from Degrassi.

I'm under no illusion that it's safe to be openly gay anywhere in the US. The gay neighborhood of my very liberal city has been hit with hate crimes recently, as have famously LGBT-friendly areas like West Hollywood. People are people, and discrimination isn't determined by geographical boundaries or red states vs…

It's not *just* the stereotypes keeping me away. Aside from not wanting to be kidnapped by the family from the "Home" episode of The X-Files (joke!), there's also the fact that there's not much I want to see or do in the Southern states. I'm glad you've found a blissful utopia free of discrimination there, though.

I could explain that it was a joke, hence referring to myself as a "liberal coastal elite", a much maligned and mocked term for anyone who lives on the coasts and sees themselves as above all others. But I still don't want to visit Alabama, so die on that hill if you must.

If you're going to take offense at every person who doesn't look at Alabama as a premiere vacation destination, you're going to be a very busy man.

I mean, I'm a gay man. I'm not gonna take my family to Alabama, sorry.

To counter that: Snow White and the Huntsman, Pan, Sex Tape, and Dirty Grandpa (!) also made The Black List.

One of the most important episodes of S-Town is when Brian talks to the woman John used to work with who loves the town and thinks it's beautiful. I suddenly pictured an entirely different place than the one John was describing, and it made me realize that his depression definitely colored his view of his hometown.

A lot, if not most, of those Black List scripts end up making terrible movies, though.

At least this is less annoying than those articles claiming you shouldn't order a Unicorn Frappuccino because it makes your barista's life inconvenient. Uhh…sorry. You work at Starbucks. This is on the menu. I'm going to order 10 of them if I want to. (Which I don't. I always order plain black coffee because I'm…

I love when it says "social media users" are causing a massive controversy and then it links to 3 tweets from random people. I feel you need at least 5 angry people for a legit controversy.

Yeah, Nathan Rabin announced on Twitter that the column was canceled for not being popular enough.
