Where's The Fury D-:

Not a typo. I'm well aware that McCartney wrote and performed the song.

I flipped over during a commercial break for Breaking Bad to catch a horrendous cover of The Beatle's "Yesterday". The abrupt change between amazing and awful in those moments nearly broke my soul.

As a world class comedian, I understand wordplay remains the highest and most challenging form of comedy.

Looks like NetFLIX is getting NetNIXED! OH! Ohoho! Ohohoooollllllly shit

I've all but given up on mainstream critics…I'm almost exclusively reading blogs. I really love Cinema Beans and Modigliani, who both do long-form reviews as opposed to the short-form ones I don't take anything away from.

At first I was defensive…but I guess you're not too far off. Now that I'm writing this, I'm finding I value Berardinelli's opinion more than his writing. But he's reliable and consistent, which is something I have trouble finding nowadays (Michael Phillips). And I agree that Ebert has lost his pizazz lately, but back

Two of my favorite critics—Roger Ebert and James Berardinelli—always defend these films, which made me give them a second chance…whoops.

Here's to hoping that Dan Harmon surprises NBC with 24 episodes in that final season and forces the network to pick up the show.

Well…I think some of them will still be together (maybe some have moved away), if not all of them. Focusing on one character per episode doesn't mean nobody else will actually be in the episode. Besides, this series should bring everyone together and set up the movie.

Agree on Ebertfest, DEFINITELY agree on the Pig, but…inexplicable bounty of good Asian food? Where did you go? Right now all I've got is Cravings, and I don't think they're even that great. Although I've never ate at Xien Xien, and I hear they're good.

Is Smallville actually good? My brother loves it and he generally has good taste in television, but I've seen a couple episodes and I'm not convinced…

You're right about weekly newspaper reviews, although I think several differentiate themselves from the crowd (i.e. Roger Ebert, James Berardinelli). And @avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus is right about the columns and whatnot, which covers pop culture in more depth. I guess compared alongside to all

I love AV Club to death, and I do think they're reviews are "intelligent" and I enjoy reading them, but are they really the best Chicago has to offer? Maybe it's just me, but I've never been partial to short-form reviews, and I've never felt as though I've understood a film better afterwards. I prefer to be challenged

I-N…oh wait, I don't go to school here

Ya got another Cards fan right here, Mr. Tanguy

There are a million movies to use for this: the final scene from City Lights, John C. Reilly's speech in Magnolia, Paris je t'aime, Amelie…fucking Wall-E? But my number one would have to be Eternal Sunshine, the most honest love story I can think of

Not only do I find her annoying, but I've never been overly impressed by any of her films or performances. And she beat Ellen Burstyn for an Oscar for her role in fucking Eric Brokovich.

I read AV Club's TV reviews because they're so detailed. It's also why I couldn't give two shits about their movie or music reviews.

So how many people just skipped to the part where he started talking about Star Wars?
