The one big thing 13th Floor has over The Matrix is it didn't spawn two inferior sequels that tarnished the original.

No, although I bet the former paid better than the latter.

Gendry and the Hound should get along well. Neither has any interest in long speeches, subterfuge or drawn out exposition.

Both instances cracked me up. I miss the more leisurely pace of the early seasons but I do appreciate the breakneck pace and huge time jumps of this one.

I think these days Arya would be more fitting as the Stranger.

I think it's a fun, dumb movie that moves quickly and doesn't overstay it's welcome. I just didn't find any of the sets to be particularly impressive. Nothing cheap and crappy like the sequel but nothing that stood out as being above the norm.

Also, after the raid was reported, the National Enquirer, a tabloid Trump claims to control because he's buddies with the owner, put out a story about Manafort having cheated on his wife with multiple women. Very strange.

Not if you're a from Italy.

First one was better.

Look, I enjoyed the first Mortal Kombat too, and was surprised how well it held up in a recent re-watch, but that movie doesn't contain any "cutting-edge CGI," "memorable fight scenes" or "spectacularly designed sets."

Breakdown was the best Harrison Ford movie that Harrison Ford does not appear in.

Admittedly, if you can't accept the face swap, then there's no way you'll enjoy the rest of the movie.

More of a Dante's Peak man, myself.

Although I agree that Trump will not be launching any attacks, particularly any nuclear attacks, there was an episode of Radio Lab (an NPR show) recently that explored whether there are actually any safeguards in place to prevent a president from just launching a nuclear attack on another country. This stemmed from a…

I think AV Club is only two "Smash Mouth Sucks" articles from triggering a backlash of Smash Mouth love thereby cementing them as a musical fixture for years to come. Same thing happened to Bon Jovi.

I am an unashamed fan of 14:59.

I was a music seller at a Borders in '97 as well. Boynton Beach, FL. One of the better retail jobs I ever had.

I, as do a lot of other people my age, do similar things with songs from the early 80s.

Yeah, SNZ was always legit. They just happened to be around during the swing revival and got picked up because of it, but they were never a swing band. I loved their first two albums.

At first I thought you posted "retreat into his soul" and I immediately assumed that couldn't be right.
