Crazy how the A.V. Club is based in Chicago and there is no mention of the Friends musical parody that ran last year in Chicago, which got national press as being the first of its kind, including a Time.com story and this buzzfeed post: https://www.google.com/amp/…

So that vodka bottle was pretty obviously a clue—but I'm just glad they didn't transition from the bottle at her apartment into a flashback from his time in Russia where it's sitting on a tray at Dolph Lungren's place, you know, to REALLY drive the point home. I still don't mind the flashbacks this season, but I…

Whiplash really impressed me and to say that I'm looking forward to this would be an understatement. Glad to hear good things, pretty much across the board. Sounds like it's one of those movies that can stay distinct and have a strong identity of its own for years to come. With Gosling-Stone already being well…

Then the camera slowly pans out, and it's all inside a snow globe, sitting on Henry Cavill's mantle as he reads his morning edition of the Daily Planet.

That was great! I just wish Kara hadn't used the same language and talked about "my cousin" too immediately after that. His line stood well enough on its own!

Good question! I'll have to rewatch that one and see. The flashbacks in general don't bother me as much as a lot of people, I think some of them have been good and others, well, you just sort of accept that it's a thing they do on the show. lol. I definitely don't mind them not trying to force it in on crossover…

Just my opinion, but not to me really, no. If anything, those were extremely relevant to the Arrow series as a whole, referencing things we've already seen before and experienced with these characters—especially impressive for a standalone crossover event episode that involves characters from other shows. The…

But…how can I tell it's an Arrow episode if there aren't any disruptive/unrelated flashbacks?

Minor clarification: it wasn't at something called San Diego's Creativity Conference, it was at the annual Adobe MAX conference for Adobe software users that just happened to take place in San Diego this year. And it just happened to be the year I couldn't make it to the event. I'm not bitter, I promise. But here's…

Run by the former editor of Cook's Illustrated, so you're still in good hands!

I don't think everyone understands that ATK and Cook's Country were created by Christopher Kimball, they think it's just a random host leaving. They film their other show Cook's Country at his family's house and he incorporates pictures and history of them and the local area into his intros! This whole thing makes me…

yeah I got nothing on that one, lol…I wish her well though

It's been a while since I have logged in to post on here, but I did for this because wow! they have all aged so much better than the casts of other recent revivals (looking at you, X-Files)—and it has been so much longer since Twin Peaks was on air! Whether it's better plastic surgery, or lack of plastic surgery, or…

You're right, Marvel does, but when I said "gradual" marvelization, I just meant that since there were no credits sequences at all in MoS or BvS, I was wondering if they were testing those waters by putting one in Suicide Squad.

First of all, what's the source on the info? Did someone at the A.V. Club see the movie early and just decide to give a story about spoilers without writing a review? It's funny because it's not written like a rumor piece, but I'm also seeing that other sites have started posting their reviews (spoiler: "hot mess" is…

very nice, thoughtful review

I dislike the Grimaceverse as it is now too. I agree that it's nice that they, as Snyder recently put it, don't fit the tone of the movies—but I wish that the movies fit the tone of the shows a bit more! Especially with the (mostly) excellent casting of both young and seasoned actors on the shows. Say what you will…

It's certainly a bizarre idea, and I really wish dc films would cut the bullshit and figure out a way for tv and film universes to coexist so Amell could play green arrow on the big screen, but if anyone thinks his build isn't right for the riddler in the Snyderverse, then what the hell is JK Simmons doing bulking up…

i see what you're saying, but to me he looks more like a skinnyfat middle-aged Jonah Hill, like a scary peek into the future somehow.

So this is coming out, and Get Shorty is also turning into a tv show this upcoming season. And to pile on the snl-turned-spy/hitman, Adam Sandler and David Spade just released The Do-Over on netflix. Why? That's all I wanna know. Why?
