You leapt to some truly bizarre conclusions in this post lol. Everyone who buys an 8-year-old car lives in an apartment? And apparently anyone who lives in an apartment is poor?

Can anyone who’s actually seen the film confirm whether this is accurate? Reddit is full of adult children who watch nothing but entertainment made for actual children so I’m loath to take this anonymous poster at their word. They think anything with a second of brief nudity qualifies a movie as straight-up porn. I…

“Hmm... giant cars are killing pedestrians at an alarming rate, but we can’t do anything about it other than meaningless neoliberal concessions because then people wouldn’t have as many cars to choose from, which is exactly as important or even more so than people’s right to not be smeared into a red pulp on the…

According to the EIA, the average price of gas (all grades) in the US in 2008 was well over $3 until the election, with June and July topping $4. Prices dropped a lot after that, barely crossing $2 in all of 2009, but that’s national average and California is almost always higher. The average in 12/2008 was $1.87, but…

I’m totally done with every angry white male comedian. Lewis Black is okay but the rest fucking suck. I especially hate Bill Burr and his whole two-faced “I’m going to claim I’m liberal/progressive but I’m also going to say wildly conservative shit all the fucking time” shtick. He did a live episode on Conan’s podcast…

Character development doesn’t have to have direct forward momentum. It also doesn’t always necessitate a dramatic personality change; that’s a high school English class definition of character development.

Napkins was a standout episode for me. I just have a thing for episodic narratives that take abrupt detours to delve deeply into a minor character. Another great example is the episode of Serial S1 that focuses entirely on the DA in the case, which is either my favorite or second favorite after the episode on cell…

I have a strong feeling Mattel’s push into films is going to end exactly like it did when Hasbro tried the same thing 15 years ago. They had a deal with Universal to produce movies based on Battleship, Ouija, Monopoly, Candy Land, Clue, Magic: The Gathering, and Stretch Armstrong, but only the former two ever came out…

Nah what’s toxic is the people up and down this thread doing gold medal worthy mental gymnastics to defend him, just like they do in every AVC post about sexual assault allegations

>I’m thinking his next move is a tearful video apology where he does his “storyteller voice” and explains because of his autism he “sometimes crosses boundaries.”

Absolutely braindead take. If all you care about is plot, you should save yourself a few hours and read the episode summaries on Wikipedia instead of watching the show.

Legitimately, one of my favorite TV soundtracks in recent memory has been and continues to be Bob’s Burgers. There are definitely a lot of obnoxious and cringeworthy songs in there, but also plenty of stone-cold bangers. I constantly get “Liftin’ Up the Skirt of the Night,” “Bad Girls,” and “Quarter Assin’” stuck in…

I’m a huge Wilco fan and even I thought they overdid it with the Wilco drops in the first season. There’s just something so cloying about using a band that’s inextricably linked to Chicago so often in a show set there. “Via Chicago” in that show hits about the same way as “California Dreamin’” does in a scene when…

I came across an ad on social media for a convention in Houston called “Nostalgia Con,” in which they are doing an unofficial “reunion” of voice actors from A Bug’s Life for its 25th anniversary... including Kevin Spacey.

Director whose last 4 films were dark comedies is making another dark comedy, who would’ve thought

“Drake, what can I say about your career that hasn’t already been said about Afghanistan? It looks bombed out and depleted.”

Streaming service and accompanying pay cable network now owned by Amazon, who bought MGM a few years ago. Formerly known as Epix.

Not a bad list. Definitely some good choices and others I need to check out. Great shouts on the Chief Keef and Tierra Whack albums in particular.

It’s so good and the fact that a lot of SY purists hate it makes me like it even more. It feels like the first time a rock artist has truly acknowledged that rap now occupies the same countercultural space that punk/hardcore once did without succumbing to corny rap-rock nonsense. Never knew I needed to hear KG…

Oh man, now I need to know more about the drama behind the guy who got it exactly right. People breaking game shows is a weird niche interest of mine, ever since I heard about the dude who memorized the Press Your Luck board. There’s gotta be podcasts or video essays on this topic, right?
