I think that story is a crock. Sure, John Wayne smoked three packs a day for decades, but it must have been that sand in Utah that killed him.

The whole concept of "guilty" pleasures is kind of bullshit. Don't feel guilty about your pleasures! At least not until your pleasures start getting you in trouble with the cops.

GJI is, what, half the website now? Soon the AV Club is just going to be an aggregator with, oh, two people on staff to post the links.

PTA, of course, was also such a big fan of Adam Sandler that he made a movie with him.

I'll support a Leslie Jones morning show on the condition that she never be allowed on any other television show or in any film. It'll be like a quarantine for her awfulness.

Leslie Jones is the worst.

Seems like directly refusing to cut more than 15 minutes is a good indication.

IIRC Cimino had to fight to get Cazale in "The Deer Hunter" as everyone already knew that he was dying from cancer. I think Robert De Niro had to put up the insurance fee or some such.

Claude Rains, Thomas Mitchell.

Back in the day directors used to make horses fall during battle sequences by attaching a rig to the horse's legs which would trip the horse when it drew a string taut.

The fascination with random Twitter assholes is really puzzling. I remember watching the 12.12.12 concert or whatever they called it four years ago, and at the end Alicia Keys comes on to sing "Empire State of Mind". Which was great, but they had a running graphic of tweets from random assholes saying crap like "OMG…

And the woman who played the first Heather, the one that they poison, died of a brain tumor at the age of 32.

I too was wondering what led the AV Club to post an interview from a year ago. Clicks, I guess.

Hey, go fuck yourself

Deadspin has this incredibly irritating habit of referring to national teams with plural verbs. "England are". So annoying.

"Fucking Mugs."

It's not lazy storytelling, it's just story telling you don't like because you're a sensitive millennial on the Internet.

That is just a terrible terrible term obviously coined by someone with no ear for American English. An American slur should be punchy and monosyllabic and easily spat out. If you took "Muggles" and, say, shortened it to "Mugs", that would be perfect.

That seemed like a bad choice to me as well. I thought Malfoy would fight with the good guys at the end. Nope.

And then there's Snape, who of course turned out to be an honorable man, if a dickhead.
