I'm trying to write a book, and by "trying," I mean I'm not trying at all and there's no book, not even a little bit.

Just the usual fatness, loneliness and depression. But at least there's … I mean … yeah, I've got nothing. Donald Trump is going to be the president and Gord Downie is terminally ill. Fuck this shit indeed.

I'd say CNN is a fucking joke, but jokes are supposed to be funny. CNN is like a Dane Cook joke.

God damn. That's brutal.

I started out the year listening to a bunch of new albums, but I've let that kinda fall by the wayside recently. I've been focused more on older stuff lately. Car Seat Headrest and Chance are definitely on my radar.

That album is good. It's hard for me to listen to an instrumental album the whole way through very often, but it's very good background noise.

That's fucktarded. They're only doing it because it's politically correct to bash America as much as possible, and what better way than to turn a heroic, morally unimpeachable patriotic superhero into fascist?

Fuck, that's horrible. It infuriates me when people murder good cops. We need as many of the good ones as we can get.

Maleficent was appallingly bad, so I'm not optimistic about this one, not even with Emma Watson.

Rust and Marty sounds like the Asylum ripoff of Rick and Morty.

Oh, I'm not trying to say you in any way want people to go after him, just that some lunatics probably will. (And probably were already, if his video has really generated that much attention. I wouldn't say that's on you.) I'm sure AV Club writers get death threats, too. That's a toxic thing that happens on all sides…

Me fail Simpsons quotes? That unpossible!

Right. That's what I hate about this. Just because a large portion of the reaction to Ghostbusters 2016 is sexist doesn't mean that all opposition is, or probably even most of it. There aren't more sexists than there are those of us who just think the movie looks shitty. The sexists are just louder. I think it's kinda…

I don't agree with her there, but I also don't strongly disagree, because I really don't care who's in the movie. It could be any combination of four funny and talented people, which is who they did cast. All of those women are very funny with the right material. For me, the casting makes up zero percent of the issue.…

You're getting kinda touchy about people's responses to your piece, man. Don't get me wrong, I legitimately respect that a lot of you guys actually come down here and talk to us regular folk in the comments section. That's one great thing that separates AVC from most other pop culture sites, at least that I've seen.…

Yeah, that guy's video is 100% reasonable and on point. I watched it expecting him to be some Comic Book Guy looking motherfucker screaming misogyny at me, and I was shocked. I can't believe an outraged think piece was devoted to this guy, who's totally going to get death threats from faux-progressives now, if he…

I just watched the Rolfe video, having never even heard of him before. What an entirely reasonable and valid argument. That's what this is all about? Jesus Christ. The AV Club turned into the bad part of Tumblr so gradually I didn't even notice.

Obviously comicbookgirl19 hates women and has internalized her misogyny specifically so she can unleash it upon a summer blockbuster. Duh.

But does it have that Laurel Canyon sound I'm looking for?

You make a great point. All this fucking stupid bullshit we're arguing about on both sides is a distraction from the actual bad things happening in the world. While people are focusing all of the media's energy on this kind of nitpicky crap, child soldiers, human trafficking, female circumcision, and water pollution…
