I see what you're saying, and I certainly agree with your comment about the media. Unfortunately, much of the media is driven and drives our current celebrity culture. I'm just not convinced that it extends beyond the mass media echo chamber. I've no doubt there are some people who hang on every word of their favorite

"Actors are treated like experts though."

Wait. That isn't Gary Shandling? Well, I'll be damned…

Lol This brought up memories of the summer in high school when I worked at a call center and would spend hours listening to little old ladies tell me about their pets or grandkids or favorite show and just be happy I didn't have to do the terrible shit I was being paid to do.

Well, this is great news. I was afraid after last season that I'd have to stop watching this crap, which would mean having to accept I'd wasted hours of my life following this awful show. Now I can look forward to its eminent demise. And I can pretend it was all worth it.

"Pitt and Jolie only got hitched in 2014, after nearly a decade together."

No, I didn't notice that. I got the impression that they were childhood friends, with a lot of affection for each other, but not that they'd ever dated. When Elliot and Angela kissed on the subway, it seemed to me that it was significant because it was the first time it happened. On the other hand, I'll take any

Yeah, some shows lend themselves to prediction, others not so much. Mr. Robot reminds me of Twin Peaks in that it's more fun enjoying the ride than racking your brain trying to figure out what's going to happen. Plus, I recently rewatched the first season and enjoyed it even more than the first time, knowing where

I'm just hoping he's not building the Matrix, because that would really suck.

"And they placed her in a room straight out of a David Lynch movie."

"…options which should reassure everybody."

Yeah, I got that. I just wanted to expand on my point.

Yeah, that's another problem right there.

In a world without antibiotics, a scratch could kill you. So it really doesn't seem odd to me at all. And, add to that, you've got rotting carcasses walking around biting people, which can't be hygienic at all. After all, leaving rotting corpses lying around usually leads to all sorts of plagues, which you can see

Yeah, a lot of people assume that. The problem is that it really doesn't make any sense. If a character dies of natural causes, s/he comes back as zombie, just as the people who die from a zombie bite. If everyone is infected, then why don't they all die from it whether they'd been bitten or not? I mean, if you've got

As far as I know, and anyone feel free to correct me, but it's never been established that a zombie bite transmits the virus. According to what's been established so far, everyone's already infected. What's probably happening is that the zombie bite kills you because the microbes inhabiting a necrotic body ain't good

How could he be "immune" to a zombie bite? Hasn't it been established that everyone is infected? If that's the case, you don't get the virus from the zombie bite. If he got bitten, it wouldn't transmit the virus, ergo he couldn't get infected in that way. In other words, the zombie bite can kill you, probably because

There are actually people who are looking forward to yet another G.I. Joe movie? Really!?! Huh, ya learn something new every day.

I was a kid when the original Ghostbusters premiered. Saw it, liked it, moved on with my life. I don't know anyone who really gave two shits about this remake. The entire "controversy" was manufactured to give this turd some buzz. And yes, I saw it, was underwhelmed, moved on with my life. This time next year

Wait, Natalie Portman was in a Thor movie? Oh, OK AVClub, if you say so…
