I skimmed it and when I saw him going on about RLM's "nerdsplaining" in the Plinkett reviews. I mean, please.

Is there going to be an "oral history" for every piece of shit sitcom that ever was? Or at least until Uproxx goes out of business?

I thought the concept of a contest entailed a prize that people would actually want to win.

This "Axanar" idea seemed terrible from the get-go, inspired by a lack of detail in the Federation history backstory, leading to the sort of overthinking some "Fans" indulge in when they try to fill up background details on their own.

Congratulations, you win a trophy…wait, what?….oh sorry, I was just informed of my mistake, I was supposed to tell you "your muscles have atrophied".

I've always been disturbed by how 'White Christmas' glorifies cocaine use and/or Aryan supremacism.

Funny or Die, where Funny goes to Die, gurgling and slowly slumping to the floor, like someone who's just had the blade of a karambit slice through their throat.

There's always a strong case to be against Hanna-Barbera. Oh sure, some apologists will argue they helped keep American animation alive during it's Darkest Period and animation aficionados should be grateful, yeah yeah.

We may have lost two Death Stars under Palpatine/Vader but they kept us safe.

It would improve things considerably if C3P0 were more like the, ah, alternate characterization of him from the Auralnauts' (auralnauts.com) redubs of the prequels and A New Hope and others, obsessed with flesh, mortality and the fusion of man and machine.

"The true monster…is MAN…just, you know, ignore all of the killer aliens/zombies/vampires/werewolves/predatory supernatural hellbeats that were rampaging around here a short while ago"

This being one of the aspects of Gambit that made him the perfect storm of Claremont's worst tendencies as a writer (and Jim Lee's as a character designer).
Let ze good times rulez mon chere! :wears trenchcoat over garish bodysuit:

I found It Follows to be a respite from modern, plasticized horror movies, even though it seemed, from the early marketing it might just be another jaded entry in film horror. Instead I found the film a very stripped-down, mysterious and spare experience. The production of the film hits an eerie tone right away,

I don't know if I would put in a list of the best, but this year's We Are Still Here I found to be pretty effective, going from quiet indie horror to bloody and macabre, in a way that harkens back to an older era of horror cinema without resting to heavily on it, while still having enough fresh elements in the
