Congratulations on making a really funny show sound dreaaaaaadful.

Again, are we STILL pretending like Noah has any chance in hell of actually taking over this show?

Are we still pretending like Noah's going to be the one at bat on opening day?

Nothing I've seen indicates Chris Pratt will be anything other than bad in this.

Will Harris, while I roll my eyes consistently at the whole "he's so unlikeable" school of film criticism, I think you unintentionally hit on the whole point of the Wolf of Wall Street. The final shot is an indictment of all those people (all of us?) who want to be that dude.

Well there you go. Even less reason to get upset at the movie. (Although really I think that's just splitting hairs anyway - surely the cumulative effect of the "enhanced techniques" took its toll).

Grrrr, what happens to Zero Dark Thirty still makes me mad. People were against it because it suggested we used torture on our captives. Newsflash, we did. It was obvious to most of us in 2012 and has been officially acknowledged since. Two, as this article mentioned, people were upset that the movie seemed to imply…

You are venturing down a dark hole of absolute absurdity. Come back, come back, my friend! I might point out that I'm here in the TV Club discussing a TV Show. Now if I were in the Superior Court of Los Angeles shouting, "I Object, Spoilers!" you might be onto something. Or I might point out that I've never once…

Finally, to clarify my point since it was apparently obtuse… 1) I complained about spoilers in the article. 2) Misunderstood genius larfed, "oh boo hoo they spoiled real life", 3) I pointed out that the real life event had only happened within the last 24 hours, and certainly there should be very little expectation…

Excuse me? Are you really attacking me because I'm concerned about spoiling the entertainment value of this show? If so you need to back up about 100 paces and direct your fire at Jarecki (or maybe the AV Club, or maybe America / the World for being enthralled by true crime). The fact of the matter is that this was…

No dangerous precedent has been set for the genre. I'd argue Serial was the exception, not the Jinx. Almost always the crimes ARE solved by the end (in the narrative fiction examples you present, at least). Serial has already paved its own path. Its Season 2 will be judged with (sorry) lowered expectations from most…

Well that's only because Brian Williams was there.

Pretty sure they both do, but no matter. Apologies for trying to make a serious point on the AV Club. You may all now return to the ironic void.

That old hoary "it's not a spoiler if it's real life" argument doesn't hold any water here. A) the vast majority of people don't know anything about the story, nor should there be any expectation that they should. B) that "real life" happened literally last night. The show was the breaking news. In fact, Robert durst…

Maybe a spoiler warning, AV Club? I say this not as someone who hasn't seen the show yet, but as someone who HAS seen it and would like you to preserve perhaps one of the greatest moments in TV history for others.

I think the remake is much scarier and (gasp) better, but I agree with you that there isn't a dollar for dollar correlation here.

The Ring wasn't cheap and it's legitimately terrifying. But I take your point. Even the scares in that one were slightly polished versions of simple, practical things.

It's true. The minority characters in Birdman were handled SO much better.

If this could somehow work forward in time as well, McConaughey "should have" won for Interstellar. It's easily one of the best performances of his career, and had the category not been so stacked this year (and the movie itself not been so strangely panned), I think he'd be in the hunt for Best Actor.

Sure it's fantastic. Even though it has absolutely no idea what it's about or trying to say.
