Wow, and here I was thinking that our country was in trouble because people like Trump and the corporations that his presidency would 100% be in the pocket of don't pay even a tiny fraction of the taxes that they should be paying, and that they've completely destroyed the economy over the last thirty or forty years by…

Even if that were the case, his statements still make it clear that he doesn't understand the role that the Supreme Court plays in our government at all. Yeah he's not openly complaining that they came to a decision he doesn't like, he's just acting as if they have no right to make such decisions at all, which is…

Bizarro, your comment is the most succinct explanation possible of why making a Top Gun sequel in 2015 is the dumbest thing ever.

Not openly, no. Like all the other morons upset by this decision (that will have zero impact on their lives) he's just hiding his bigotry behind meaningless bullshit ideas like "States rights", and making statements about what he mistakenly thinks the role of the Supreme Court is in our society. Statements that…

It didn't happen here, so as I said you are just making up an imaginary scenario and then pretending that because you think you know how that imaginary scenario you made up would have actually played out in the real world you've made some kind of point in the argument no one is actually having. There are plenty of…

Why do we need any new Ghostbusters movie at all? The success of the original was the result of a very specific combination of people working in a very specific era, both in our society and also in their careers. This was proven pretty well when even they couldn't recreate the same magic just a few years later as…

Come on A.V. Club get your facts straight! Slimer IS the cartoon version. In the movies he's either Onionhead or Spud! Sheesh.

It's fun to just make up baseless assumptions about non-existent scenarios and then pretend we have made some kind of point in a argument that isn't actually happening, isn't it?

This is yet another attack in the war on Festivus.

The problem with how they handled the Ender's Game movie is that the Ender series including Ender's Game, are NOT young adult books. There was zero chance of them making any more movies after Ender's Game either as the trilogy of books that came out after Ender's Game that dealt with Ender as an adult are not at all…

Speaker for the Dead and the third book Xenocide are both much better books than Ender's Game (Children of the Mind, the fourth book in that post Ender's Game "trilogy" about an adult Ender living on an alien planet gets a little goofy), but there is no way they could possibly make movies from them in today's…

When I think of the future of the Star Wars movies the one thing I wish for above all else is that all future movies will have as little to do with the prequels as possible. That being said possibly the one major exception to that wish would be getting to see McGregor finally have the chance to play Obi-Wan Kenobi in…

When someone chooses to flaunt a well known symbol of racism how is it a "snap judgement" to then assume that they are a racist? In 2015 the Confederate flag is second only to the swastika as a pure symbol of racism and bigotry, so assuming someone who "proudly" displays it is a racist seems like an informed…

What about the scene where the Jurassic 5 are performing on a platform constructed on the back of an Apatosaurus, just like Was (Not Was) did in the original movie when they performed their hit song "Walk the Dinosaur"?

So what you are saying is that I've just chosen to be a pasty skinned honkey my entire life instead of a fiery Latino sex machine? Well now, this will change everything!

The reason new systems are totally unreliable is pretty simple, moving parts. DVD/Bluray drives and hard drives will eventually fail 100% of the time given enough use. The old cartridge based systems had no moving parts, so they are WAY more reliable. My 30 year old NES still works like a charm. Hell even my old…

Hey Zoe Butcher, your meaningless fanboy tribalism is pretty funny. And if you can please tell me what crazy magic spell I can cast on my PS4 so that I can use it to play my PS3 games I would appreciate it, because in the real world the PS4 has absolutely no backwards compatibility, and the PS3 had no PS2 backwards…

Yes, I just want to see a scaled back Batman movie with him taking down the mob or something. Sadly the new Zach Snyderverse take on the character seems to be taking it even more into the ridiculous. Not that I care, since after the shit sandwich that was Man of Steel and literally everything else I have seen from…

You can't really call only two movies from the same series a "trend", though I agree that the Schumacher movies really did completely derail the idea of super-hero/comic book movies being taken seriously for a while. But given what other super-hero/comic book movies that were being made around that same time there…

Jesus Christ, how much fucking money are idiots spending on this shitty "freemium" game that it's makers can afford to drop millions of dollars on this kind of shit?
