The body of this piece mentions no prior work by this person, so why does the headline expect us to know who she is, and why does the lead say she’s “finally” about to direct a movie? Has she directed any shorts? Does she have a film degree? Or is being a famous person’s daughter who got a snarky tweet or two literally…

Yeah, fashion rules rarely apply to very attractive people. That’s life, and it’s what makes the OP’s mashup ironically amusing.

“They weren’t all that different from a casual glance” - Sure, I get that, but I’m not complaining that people are using “casual glance” standards in everyday life, or random Twitter threads. I’m objecting to that standard being used in The AV Club’s published content, because The AV Club, by its very name, means a…

Wearing white socks with pretty much any combination of dark pants/shoes is generally deemed a high crime of fashion, and a sure indicator or slobbery.

Elizabeth Moss’ c̶u̶l̶t church is probably at least as bad as Pratt’s, but, while that definitely raises eyebrows, I don’t see The AV (Gossip) Club calling her the “Worst Elizabeth,” or ranking her against Banks, Olson, Hurley, or Debicki...

Seems like “rationing” would be a more accurate term than “limiting” here.

Not at all. Persuasion is a concise, engaging read with a very likable protagonist. Sense and Sensibility and Emma, on the other hand, were both too tedious for me to finish, and I powered through all of Mansfield Park, in which the heroine pines after her cousin until he gives in and marries her.

As I recall, Agents of Shield used the term enhanced a lot, for whatever that's worth.

Are Djinn from Islamic mythology, or from Middle Eastern or Arabic mythology? Surely those terms aren't synonymous?

I fully support these weekly episode reviews, but can we also get, say, a single Star Trek: Strange New Worlds review, too?

6/22/22

Came here for this. Ward made a brief Arrowverse cameo, so in TV terms at least, he's the champ.

Ah.

Uh, what? Jabba hired Fett to bring him Han, dead or (preferably) alive. Why would an auction be involved?

“Persuasion was so fun. Doing a Jane Austen film is the dream, and there are only a few of them”

Thank goodness this crass celebration of narcissism and consumerism is no tainted by a throwaway word some consider offensive. All is right with the world now.

Why the hell hasn’t the AV Club reviewed a single episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?

Well, unlike the painfully non-funny 2016 entry, Afterlife isn’t a comedy; it’s an 8-12-year-old’s adventure flick. (I’m not even sure what made it a PG-13 and not a PG.) And, the thing is, a kid’s adventure flick is pretty hard to not make a reasonably okay movie out of. So... for what it is, rather than what it…

That was seven years, and an uneventful Jared Leto Joker depiction, prior to Joker the movie. And, as I recall, the Aurora/Joker character connection turned out to be mostly speculative and threadbare.
