I have a lot of empathy for the AVC staff who are now stuck with a legacy CMS that was clearly built for a different, not entirely compatible purpose. Been there, done that, it sucks.

(But also forgot to make sure the commenting worked)

I’m also a web developer and a thousand times yes to all this. How do you ship a product without a working search? How?! Did they not even try staging this?

Yeah I’m a UX person so I’ve spent the past 24 hours wincing. The comment system is obviously unusable, but this system of content org doesn’t work for me either; I need clear structure & visual hierarchy.

The search is completely useless. I was looking for a review of “Good Time” and got no results pertaining to the movie. So I took up the challenge and went to the Film Reviews section — it did have reviews, but in random order (and most were from 2005). Ended up just looking it up on Google instead.

Any Godard movie.

But he was so adamant about valuing diversity! How could they so grossly misinterpret his memo?!

I had somehow always thought that “I’ll Be” was a Goo Goo Dolls song, which caused me to lose an argument in a pretty spectacular fashion about two months ago (I was so sure I was right!!)…

If I remember correctly (I was 15 when it came out), part of the reason why people were seeing it multiple times is that all the stuff that’s good about it — set design, costumes, score, etc. — is best appreciated on a grand scale that you couldn’t replicate at home with a Blockbuster rental.

While I think it's ridiculous that male actors have to somehow "atone" for playing popular romantic leads… he would've recovered quicker if he was a better actor.

*Waits for Chris Pratt to give Anna Faris away on twitter*

I would get hopelessly distracted by trying to figure out the circumstances under which the sex playlist was put together and all the decision making that went into it.

It can only be the second best because the Gallaghers leave their best burns for each other; "a man with a fork in a world of soup" is fucking poetry. Also, POTATO.

I never actually finished reading Meet Me in the Bathroom, but it’s hilarious that Ryan Adams has emerged as its greatest villain considering how much fawning there is over every single other person mentioned in that book.

I'm guessing that's a VIP transfer service, not a "utilitarian" vehicle.

She's on the next night's show

My friends and I saw them at a free show around the same time (in NYC) and immediately headed to Tower to buy all their records. I'm pretty sure I saw them every time they played here thereafter. I miss them.

I always thought they were her parents (grandparents? parental figures?) because they also appear in the Jitterbug scene — and that she’s blaming their encouragement for putting her on this path.

As long as he doesn't have to emote…

I was ranting about this when I caught 2 minutes of Titanic on cable recently, but then I looked up the movie painting and it's not Les Demoiselles d'Avignon; it's pretty close, but the women are all rearranged.
