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.

Yeah I went to the Wikipedia page and said only 8 episodes. So the fact that this was one of the 8...ugh. But the visuals are amazing and I'm intrigued by the stories they can do with the team in Space...

It was either write this, or do another Dawes article.

Nice review! It felt very “White Elephant”-ish to me. With providing the structure of the season, and giving everyone their usual gags (Archer/Lana bicker, Cyril being scared, etc) but thats it. Felt like a very short prologue episode, and while its not an overarching story like Game of Thrones, there isnt much time…

“The other 86 minutes of Up”?

“Sometimes that works out (hey, Inside Out, Coco, and the first 10 minutes of Up), and sometimes it definitively doesn’t (hey The Good Dinosaur, and the other 86 minutes of Up).”

With Hannibal, Fuller never got to fulfill his true passion of ditching a project before it was complete, but he still has hopes he can.

I think anyone who read through this series deserves to give King a slap across the head as a form of therapy.

I always think of Sliver first

Thank you for saying so, and for reading!

Dowd, I can say without  hesitation that your coverage of this year’s Cannes was the best I read, anywhere, both in terms of critical analysis and color commentary. Thank you.

is a bizarrely unexciting setting,

Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie since the Disney takeover.

Classic Barsanti.

“Whatever burnout ended up afflicting movies like Rogue One and Solo.” Um, what burnout afflicting Rogue One? It had no A-list stars, no major established characters on the hero side, and made $1.056 bn worldwide, which is 80% of what The Last Jedi made, and that was an Episode movie featuring the first substantial…

Also: “Xbox classic”? It was released on numerous platforms, including PC and Mac.

How could you write about this without mentioning Allen Klein even once? Klein finagled the Stones into giving up their copyrights to all of their songs prior to 1970. Ashcroft was sued by Klein and had to give up all royalties for the song to ABKCO, Klein’s holding company, with Mick and Keith ending up with…

Except for the fact that The Force Awakens has a 92% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. So...no, quality-wise, most people enjoyed it a lot.
