Of the three, it’s far and away the best. However, it’s like someone asking you “For your appetizer tonight, would you like AIDS, Cancer or Syphilis?”

I was just poking around in the Community reviews and on a bad day they had 4000+ comments. 

The AV Club has unfortunately reached the point where it is almost an ironic commentary about its own existence - a fan based website populated by writers that seriously loathe fans and who tell them how much they loathe them in almost every article they write. It sort of makes sense that articles that used to get…

There’s a very contrarian bent when it comes to Star Wars in certain places, especially here.

Star Wars films can never be accused of being great art, but they shouldn’t be boring. TLJ was dull as hell.

Hell, The Last Jedi was one of the best things to happen to this series in decades and people are still arguing about how it was actually bad.

As I read this, my own son is waking up now.

Horror movies are problematic on so many levels.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ryan Phillippe in one movie is pretty much peak 90's. 

Oh okay you just don’t know how Kinja works. That’s fine.

The game’s producer, Yoshihito Ikebata, said the idea Tanabe had described had proven too confusing for players in practice. The game’s game director…

In VIII the entire resistance was whoever made it to the Millennium Falcon at the end, I’d say we had the context it was in shambles. VIII was just so bad that it didn’t feel like a defeat at the end. 

Indeed, why do they all arrive at once, right time, right place? The few allies could have been joining them in the jungle planet one starship at a time, slowly but surely, and over months.  As a plot point, it’s ridiculous.

One of the big problems I had with Rise is how Poe’s stupid plan hinges on the fleet of intergalactic never-before-seen rebels-in-hiding showing up right at the time of attack against Palpatine’s fleet. If this beacon in the Trevorrow script can explain some more robust reason for hoping this time-sensitive appearance…
