Thank you for this article, AV Club.

They're both about finding happiness in things buried deep, so why not.

I keep hearing Silmarillion speculations but I thought for sure the Tolkien estate never sold any rights to film anything from the Silmarillion ever. Does anyone out there know?

Dumbder the Dome (pronounced "dum")

Shouldn't you be moving the Bibles in the library to the fiction section and then taking pictures of it and posting them to reddit, or something?

I am from Montana and there are about as many Redboxes in each city as there are McDonalds in Manhattan. Which is to say, many.

That review is hilarious and I love that there's really no way you can disagree with it.

So to not be homophobic you have to not only be tolerant of men kissing one another in an erotic fashion—you have to enjoy it? Or willfully seek it out? I don't even like watching heterosexuals kiss most of the time. Had no idea I was a bigot, but there you go.

Those Mormons, truly examples of basest human depravity.

Sincere question: does anyone know of any cases like this where a man gets accused by multiple parties of rape or some other despicable thing and then gets totally exonerated?

Except the people who warn about cell phone usage are most definitely in the minority, at least in my experience.

I'm a Mormon guy who enjoys AV Club and I think I we're to understand that the author of this piece is (formerly) Mormon..? It's confusing because:
1. the weird aside comes out of nowhere
2. you don't just "get" your own planet! You and your spouse are supposed to become gods and create infinite planets together…

Zune 4 lyfe, muthafuckassssss

When I saw that the preview was using "Hooked On a Feeling" in a pseudo ironic way, I made a post about how it seems like this movie was just using the song because it's association with the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack. Nobody really was on board with that sentiment, and I figured I must be wrong.

Call me when anything shows up in Montana.

I personally believe the greatest Simpsons joke/delivery/line ever to be:
