The best 1-2 punch in X2 is the scene where Wolverine takes down the soldiers, followed by the scene where he, Rogue, Iceman, and Pyro discover that Cyclops is a huge N*SYNC fan.

Me still mad me lost out to Grammer for that role. Think how much money they could have saved on hair and makeup!

The Dissolve had a great series called The Laser Age by Keith Phipps that covered 70s sci-fi.  

I shall take this opportunity to publicly mourn the wasted potential of Rogue in these movies. She was my favorite character in the 90's cartoon, which was my main reference for the X-men at the time. They went in a very different direction with her in the first movie, kind of making her a Rogue/Kitty/Jubiliee mashup.…

“Does it hurt?”

Hey, if those nerdbros could raise $200 million to remake Star War they not have rights to, surely we can get enough money together to buy AV Club.

This explains why there are so many typos in AV Club articles lately. As a former copy editor, I can say from experience that we are usually the first to be let go when there are budget cuts or change in management.

Yeah I’ve been here for a long time. After the kinjacalypse I almost left, but this was really the only website whose community I enjoyed a lot. Hopefully it gets somewhat restored to it's former glory. 

Dump the Gawker sites, go back to the old commenting system and I'll chip in a couple grand. Who's with me?

I’ve been hanging around this site for years. Was that the BEST use of my time? Dunno. But it provided an outlet for snarky jokes and pointed me towards some truly amazing shows and movies I never would have watched otherwise, helping me to steer clear of others that weren’t worthy. Like many other long-timers, I was…

We got an unusable format for what?

Christ, univision fucked the shit out of you guys :(

2 1/2 years to irreparably damage a publication and then strip and sell it for parts.

“But he did get the honor of codifying a very specific rom-com archetype: the perfectly nice love interest who nevertheless just isn’t “the one.””

Even worse is that Miller claimed he was big buddies with Will Eisner and wanted to make the movie so no one else “ruined” the Spirit. Of course, Miller’s movie has exactly nothing to do with Eisner’s everyman character, who was simply a vehicle for telling small-scale, humanist stories.

I’d say Keaton’s the better actor, but Clooney has more charisma. He’s also more fuckable than Keaton is.

I’m a huge Batman Forever apologist, but I maintain that this movie is trash. Even as a kid I just couldn’t vibe with it. BF has a weird tone too, but it wants to have fun. B&R always seemed like it wants you to feel stupid for watching it

Fuck this film and the horse it Rodin on.

In retrospect it’s so obvious that Schumacher really, really wanted to do a full-on Batman ‘66 riff but was constrained by the established Burton aesthetic. We end up in a weird middle ground where, as Tom points out in the article, everything is dark and gloomy yet still lit in garish neon. The villains are mincing,…

Say these exact two sentences anywhere, to anyone, at any point in time and space, and they’ll still stand. Stanley Tucci FTW 4evr
