Ah, gotcha. I was thinking less Dr. Strangelove and more like the sort of crap you see in totalitarian societies. I do like satire.

The old Stadium never should have been knocked down.

Hebrew, I think. "Mantra" is a good non-imported equivalent.

Fuck you. Believe it or not, I can hate preachy shit for reasons that have nothing to do with the gender of the people engaged in it.

Please no. There are enough of those everywhere on the internet.

I'm going to have to read more of those positive reviews on RT, but if most of them are of the lukewarm variety, then there's something holding those critics back, and I suspect that it's not wanting to be on the wrong side of society at this point in time.

That's a hell of a reach that you just made. Where did you even get that from my post?

The AV Club review and the Time Out NY review I read struck me as very lukewarm positive reviews, adding to my feeling that this is a mediocre movie that will be forgotten about in the coming months. It's for the best, really. Putting it into the dustbin of forgettable remakes like Robocop and Total Recall will allow…

I'm not interested in watching it, but not because it's an all-woman main cast. I'm not watching it because, more likely than not, it's going to be mediocre and forgettable. That's not because of the cast, that's because it's a big-time Hollywood release, and there isn't a good track record of that as of late.

I don't want more of this. I don't read AV Club to be preached to, I read it to be entertained. Same with most websites, really. Of the two roundtables we've had, both of them have been overly preachy, and this site in general has become more preachy over the past few months.

I always wanted Aisha Tyler and was upset that they cast an SNL nobody instead.

If you say the right shibboleths all the time, then you're not feeding the trolls, you're educating the unwashed masses. Get it right, buddy.

Being a Mets fan is interminable suffering with a couple rays of sunshine mixed in. Were it not for some shitty bounces, they could have been up 3-2 after five games in the last World Series. But this being the Mets, they lost in 5 instead, and their vaunted rotation is dying this season because it never occurred to…

The Purge feels like it would have been great if it came out in the '80s and was directed by Paul Verhoven. There's so much to explore in a world where crime is legal for 24 hours, and he would have been the perfect guy to explore this dystopian world. Instead, all we got out of it were three lousy movies that didn't…

That certainly helped (plus him winning MVP), but if you're gonna play a hockey game with less defense, making it three-on-three feels more natural.

I've since found that riding the bus is a very good way to get around the 5k walk.

Julie and Billy have my ideal form of friendship: one where they mercilessly talk shit about everyone else around them.

The NHL All-Star Game actually came up with a good format that debuted last season. I didn't think it was possible because usually it's an even bigger joke than the Pro Bowl.

If Jeb Bush is being an asshole towards a man who his sect of Christianity believes to be infallible, then he's a shitty Catholic. Maybe he should be a Southern Baptist instead… no shortage of Pope haters there.

If critics are feeling pressured en masse to give the new Ghostbusters good reviews, then it wouldn't be the first time. I feel like more and more pop culture reviews are done these days because they jive with their politics. And when art is mixed with politics on a large scale, the result is never good.
