I dunno. Six seasons of Justified streamed very nicely for me.

The movie reviews aren’t the issue: it’s the depth and the lack of other articles and columns. Remember the big box of paperbacks? An exploration of Country music? There’s no such thing anymore.
Warren Oates here (can’t get my old name back) and you’re dead on.
You asked a question, I tried to answer. I don’t think I was doing any foot-stamping, but whatevs.
Like I said, it’s been a combination of factors. The move to kinja prompted a lot of the old community to leave (for various reasons, which, as triohead points out, were specifically kinja-related). We know this because over the first several weeks of the change-over, plenty of them posted messages along the lines of,…
But most of the veterans (commenters) left exactly when the Kinja switchover happened because it was a mess (no nesting, no pagination, constant reloads that sent you back to the beginning of a thread, login difficulties, problems with troll block/dismiss), because they had no way of integrating old accounts, because…
For disappointing, a nomination for the last season of AV Undercover when they didn’t publish the list.
Funnily enough, I can’t post from my phone; every time I try to log in, it just ignores me and leaves me out in the cold. It’s posting from a computer or nothing.
You know, I do miss those unregistered bastards a ton. War on Oates, wherever you are, I miss you a ton you son of a bitch.
My summary would be:
I can’t speak for anybody else but . . .
Couldn’t disagree more. I was waiting for every film, television show and song to be analyzed through the lens of whether it’s doing enough to address whatever social issue the writer cares about today. Now, at last, we have that.
100% it’s like they would prefer less users frequenting their site’s pages, having discussions, resulting in less clicks and therefore less revenue...I truly don’t get it, especially when there are many articles with very low turnout in the comments, and while I’ll try and engage as much as I can I rarely ever even…
You know, I was pretty down on Disqus back when this site was good. I was warned, repeatedly, that Kinja was far far worse, and blew it off. What a sweet summer child I was. This site became a disaster at the change over. I hear it’s close to being dissolved. Mercy killing.
Same. I’ve been dreading the revamp and replacement of iTunes for years, even though it’s often buggy and parts of it under the hood are deeply, deeply outdated, because whenever something has been split out of iTunes thus far (eBooks, ringtone management), and when the split the old iPod app on the phones into…
That being said, I’m worried they’ll disable or delete the iTunes acquired music & TV shows I have on my PC. Most of it I got years ago and wouldn’t go to the trouble of rebuying, but I don’t trust Apple to just turn it off and only offer a mobile app solution.
I’ve been here since 2008, with a brief hiatus because of Disqus screw-up. It has been extremely disheartening to see how things have changed, and worse still knowing that it’s kinda been out of necessity (just look at how fast and hard The Dissolve went down - and if that incorporated more critique than just film,…
eh, it gave us Sean O’Neal’s best writing, the letter when he quit.
I couldn’t agree more. As one of the longest standing members here that saw most of the longtime community drop The AV Club—primarily because of the Kinjapocalypse—one of my biggest pop culture disappointments is just how much this site went downhill during the Univision takeover in general, and still suffers to this…
AV Club: Kinja was pretty disappointing.
