...workers are a part of industry...

So AV Club sold to Paste and Takeout (no longer linked above) sold to another company. See you all on the other side. Maybe.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

For some older musicians where the fans are completists, people are definitely buying variants of the same record, while the artist and the label are taking advantage of it, as it can boost the sales and the position in the charts. For McCartney III, there was more than a dozen versions of the album (and there were…

This can only mean one thing: you’re going to get cancerAids 

Aw, damn it. Welp, back to nitpicking Nu-AV Club authors’ terrible writing. It’s hard work, but no one has to do it.

“I view any sort of expression or emotion as acting.” Get it.

Wait, you haven’t even seen Frozen Empire yet? I mean, I thought Afterlife was pretty boring, and I don’t plan on seeing Frozen Empire until it’s streaming on something I’m already paying for, but writing this article (admittedly well written) without even seeing the new one is weird. 

I’d argue social media began with bulletin boards and Usenet-style newsgroups, which were extant well before the internet was in many households.

“Television was a mistake.”

The Internet was a mistake 

Was, anyway.  Can you imagine this story being fed through today’s AVC snark machine?

I’m just going to assume, for the sake of not bashing my head against a wall, that you aren’t saying we should hate Anne Hathaway because you found an episode of Between Two Ferns she was on “cringe.”

That feels like saying “good music won’t sound bad if played way quietly;” sure, there’s plenty of work where that holds true, but I wouldn’t knock something for failing to pull me in Sunday afternoon on tnt.

There’s also the fact that you’ve grown older in the meantime and maybe learned that a tragedy that killed over 1500 real people shouldn’t be reduced to the love story of two fictional ones. Which was the same problem of the terrible Pearl Harbor movie, but nobody thought that was good.

The small screen works but there’s a certain bonus to a theatrical experience. There’s nothing quite like seeing Texas Chainsaw Massacre in a theater full of people who are trying not to freak the fuck out

Yeah I was pondering who fucked up their opportunity worse.  I give the edge to Duffy.  Trank at least had a semblance of a career before he self destructed.  But Duffy blew multiple opportunities right out of the gate. He didn’t even make his first movie before his ego and delusions of his own grandeur blew up…

Blood Simple is definitely his greatest role, but I also really enjoyed his small role in Raising Arizona as “machine shop ear-bender”, we’ve all known someone like that at work. I think I might have even been that guy on occasion.

So I have to ask a slightly controversial question: is the original X-Men series actually good?

Will watch it, hoping its good, but hate the era of X-Men it represents and I will never like Gambit or Bishop. Awful characters.
