He wasn't given a "Woman of the Year" award. On the actual list, he's the last mentioned, under the "Man of the Year" award. All of the other women come before him and are given larger images and such. Still a weird decision and most likely a publicity stunt on Glamour's part (and hey, people are talking about Glamour…

Everyone freaked out ridiculously over a gorilla that got shot, and then everyone who wasn't freaking out starting mocking those who were. So it goes.

I hope I'm wrong, too. Just like I hoped I was wrong about BVS being garbage and right about Suicide Squad being great. I love these characters and want to see DC make good movies, but… you know.

I want to believe that Wonder Woman will break the mold, but I just don't have the confidence anymore. I see no reason to believe the higher-ups won't chop it to hell like they have BVS and Suicide Squad. As I said: it makes them more money.

The DCEU Business Model:

The sheer venomous hostility demonstrated toward theorizing in these comments is hilarious, given that AV Club TV review comments (especially for Westworld so far) are typically 90% theorizing and predicting.

I don't know why you're singling out Walking Dead here, other than it being the popular punching bag. People post "reaction" videos for literally every other popular show with a shocker episode; Game Of Thrones is the undisputed king of filmed reactions.

Speaking as a "real horror fan," Deliver Us From Evil sucked for all of the reasons you mentioned, but it'll always have a special place in my heart for interrupting the climactic exorcism to start blaring The Doors' "Break On Through" out of nowhere. It's so bafflingly surreal after such a lousy, formulaic movie.

This is the man primarily in charge of "Great Job, Internet!" Is it any surprise that he casually watches A Serbian Film and isn't bothered by it?

I saw it for the first time long after knowing that it wasn't real and the specifics of how it was made, and loved it. Sometimes people just have different opinions than you without needing to be deceived.

I may not wholeheartedly agree with all of your post, but this is more nuance than the majority of the site is willing to give their criticism. Mostly it's just "FUCK THIS SHOW!" ad nauseum. It gets tiring. So have an upvote.

Seconding "Poltergeist" and "It Follows", which I didn't even think was a good non-horror movie. A brilliantly shot one with a strong lead performance, but overall just mediocre and drastically overhyped.

I loved it and was thoroughly chilled up until the climax. Possessions, exorcisms, and hammy knife-wielding women just aren't that scary, especially when the movie has wrung so much dread out of invisible presences and silent suspense.

1) You should definitely read the comics. They're much more well-paced and develop the cast better than the show (a lot of entertaining characters suffer in the show because their comic story arcs are handed to the eminently boring Daryl).

"If he admitted what he said was awful and was openly repentant, a lot of people would probably forgive him."

*crosses fingers* Today his star, tomorrow his face and genitals?

I do this thing on another site I frequent where I watch the show live and pick into every unsatisfying story arc, gaping plot hole, wooden characterization, dull performance, etc, paragraph by paragraph, for the entertainment of the readers. It's a hate-watch that I've become somewhat addicted to. There are a few…

I nominate the first minute of "Sinister," one of my modern horror favorites.

It's the worst comic-based show on TV and one of the worst shows I've ever watched. Any glimmering bright spots or solid individual episodes are quickly, mercilessly drowned in a sea of hack writing muck that can't stick to a consistent tone even three seasons in. So no, I would not recommend it even as a deranged…

Handlen has a history of hating on a show if everything in it doesn't have clear, immediate relevance (see also: Preacher). For someone the site puts in charge of so many TV reviews, he has a baffling aversion to any kind of long-form storytelling.
