50 years from now, your space-grandchildren will comment on space-AVClub, “At least the pop stars from the 2020s were talented social media managers and self-promoters. These damned space-popstars are only good at telekinesis and mind control!”

Curious how The Social Network is increasingly out of touch. I felt it did a great job of showing that Zuckerberg was very much the asshole that Holmes and the like later presented to be. He did steal the Winklevoss brothers’ idea, piggybacked off Eduardo’s math skills and seed funding, and then threw the latter under…

OK, then the pig pen is Kyiv.

Honestly feels like a metaphor for the Russian invasion a little.

Of course there has!  In those CG cartoons there’s a time travel subplot.

I get the sense they’ve checked out on making it a destination website and just want social media clicks with the content.

Feels a little empty and past its prime like everything else around here but there’s still great material every week and the political cartoon is as funny as ever. Whatever you do stay away from the Onion TikToks.

A lot more slideshows lately.....

A hagiography...

True, but irrelevant.

I didn’t not want to say it.

You just wanted to say “hagiography”

Good. Movies made about famous people with the approval of those famous people are inevitably tilted toward hagiography.

I remember a lot of discussion in 7th grade about that!  Thus began nerd arguments that continue today!

At the time, it seemed ambiguous; like, Vader could have been lying. It wasn’t finally confirmed until RotJ.

I was in college during that time so those were some fond memories to have: checking out Hulu back when it was free on Fridays for their Thursday night comedy.

NBC as well. 30 Rock, Community, Parks & Rec, The Good Place, and now Grand Crew.

I think that topic is important but I needed a little more discussion of the film itself, agreed. Is the pacing and plot good, how are the visuals, etc. I still feel I know nothing about the movie.

Just shows up at your door with a stack of paper, all just screenshots of comments taken from here that he’s printed out.

I had a question picked for AV Club Q&A once, YEARS ago. I won't post the link here, because they put my real name on it. It's not a super common name, and Laserface is honestly enough of a sociopath that I don't want him being able to find me.
