I’ve read in a few places now that Serafinowicz’s performance is very Adam West-like. I can’t wait to check the show out.
Saw the first Captain America film with the boys. The WWII setting kept the spirit of the comics and also the idealism of fighting Nazis, but I wonder how that will hold up with the Captain re-awakened in the less black-and-white present.
The ‘Burbs, which I reviewed in sixth grade for my school newspaper. My career as a film critic came to an end a month later when I reviewed Terry Gilliam’s The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, which played at the dollar theatre for like a week. The film was so obscure that I was accused of making up its existence. The…
Wild Woods and Shy Guy Falls have such great little touches. Sweet Sweet Canyon’s stands full is fun to stop and look at, too.
Whoa cool, a Sunday Gameological article?! Neat. Thanks, folks.
+1 to Tick-Tock Clock and most and version of Rainbow Road.
Lifeforce is indeed very underrated and Mathilda May looks amazing in it.
As a Texan and a horror fan, this one stings.
As someone whose driving skills are lacking and who relies on recklessness and pure chaos to win, I hated all Rainbow Road courses. Too many agonizing moments of waiting to race while being dragged up by Lakitu.
I like almost every track in Mario Kart 8 - the only one I’ve really played extensively - but I have to go with Mount Wario. It has virtually everything for me: a beautiful, snowy backdrop, a constant shift of environments from mountaintop to cave to forest to ski slope, and a crazy design unlike all the game’s other…
I’ve been forcing myself to turn off MSNBC in favor of TCM and have found oodles of interesting flicks I never heard of before. This morning I saw The Doctor’s Dilemma, a Fifties English Shaw comedy. It was interesting, a bit talky but doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s got that great color the English had back then,…
The AVClub
The people who might be drawn in to invade AVC from Jezebel and the like are the last fucking people in the world I’d care to hang with online. Unbearable and humorless and profoundly unwitty, though they all think themselves Wildean wits. They’re not, they’re pathetic. I was a persona on Gawker ten or twelve years…
And what can they do about it? Nothing but gawk.
Because it’s Kinja now, and everything has to maximally suck. Everything terrible that you hate about dumbly half-assed comments systems that suck? Here’s a heaping plateful of suckdom. it’s where we are, and it’s woeful.
AV Club getting added onto the header with Jezebal, Deadspin, etc., may bring some new people to these comment sections. Let’s all just keep in mind, we’re not trapped in here with Gawker, Gawker is trapped in here with us.
It’s weird the notifications say when a post was ‘recommended’ (why not just use “like”?) or replied to, but not which post. I have several.
