This is what struck me. The numbers are all like “oh, people spent a long time watching Grey’s Anatomy, Friends, and the Office.”. You know what those shows have? A LOT of episodes. Natural breaks that keep the pace breezy. i.e., something you can leave running in the background while you do whatever. Each episode…

What worries me most is that Netflix says they are going to make more original shows- which is great, they have a fairly solid track record there- but they also seem to think 3 seasons of 10 episodes is enough. It isn’t.

When do we reach peak streaming?

“Netflix says the company will just replace the shows we watch with new shows. Problem solved”

We were getting rid of Hulu until they announced they were picking up 30 Rock (which we’re currently watching RIGHT NOW) and Futurama when Netflix cut both loose.

1. Get fire stick for around $20.

Personally, I’ll pay for two with an occasional third. Recently I added HBO Now for GOT. In a month or two when that’s over and I’ve caught up on VEEP and True Detective and watched a few movies, I’ll cancel. I did the same thing with Starz for S1 of American Gods (no real interest in S2 without Fuller/Green at the…

They already did: 30 Rock   :-(

I find that most theaters, now that they are digital, are happy to pause the film if you just shout out “Pause!” at any point.  Try it and see.

Agreed. B- sounds way too low for this movie.

Right next to his beauty college diploma. What could’ve been.

Yeah I get the feeling A.A. has a framed rejected movie script he submitted to studios while in college, hanging above his work desk, and he looks at it with clenched fists and a quivering eye, just before he composes each review.

I think you’ll really enjoy the first half at least. It goes in some directions that I didn’t expect, but make perfect sense given who these characters are and what they just went through.

Remembering that Dowd gave Infinity War a B- and that he wears the undisputed crown of movie critic wet blanket (and I like him tbh), this definitely will be an A- movie then.

I’ve said it before (by “said” I mean screaming into the void of the greys), but any time AV Club slightly dislikes or outright pans something, that means I am going to love it.

It’s not a mess. Stop it.

I’d say half a letter grade is more fair most the time.

They resolve the cliffhanger with a live rendition of Cats (the musical) popping onscreen in cat-costume and 3 hours later everybody licks Thanos to death. He tastes like blueberries apparently.  

B- for a major studio blockbuster on the A.V. Club equals A+ elsewhere, heh.

Bump up any Dowd review by about a full letter grade. The guy’s a real bite in the ass, like Gills from ‘Summer School’.
