Answer: people are dumb.

I’m perplexed at how anyone could have understood the ending that way. It’s part of the watch’s job to go on patrol!

Generally speaking, the show goes downhill past season four but even the worst seasons have their moments. I don’t regret sticking with it until the end. I’m apparently the only person in the world who didn’t hate the finale with a searing passion.

Can’t believe they got Sextina Aquafina for this movie.

I am so sick of the constant equating patriotism to “honoring the military.” I’m quite patriotic and work in public service, yet I’m somewhere between ambivalent to sort of antagonistic about the whole military thing. This obsession with labeling military personnel as “fallen heroes” really stifles any critical…

“sentient” Whoa, slow down, there, buddy!

This will always be the sickest burn available for this performative patriotism puke-fest.

I love my country. I’m still proud to be an American, because I still believe the America I love is in there somewhere, despite the fact that Papaya Pol Pot and his legion of Deplorables are currently enjoying a bit of time in…

The Jon Hamm segment wasn’t a lesson about the dangers of cellphones. It was a lesson about the dangers of humans, and the horrid depraved depths of apathy they are capable of when kept in darkness.

Exactly my thoughts as well.

I think you completely misunderstood the point of that Hamm interlude, it was very clearly about the delusion of narcissism rather than anything to do with technology or Black Mirror. Technology and shadows in caves were just used as a means of illustrating the point.

I mean, calling someone “a garbage person” says a lot more about you than it does about them.

He was distracted and blind when yelling at Rey.

Look, man, it’s totally believable when Darth Vader kills his master who we, the audience, know almost nothing about, but when Kylo Ren does it, IT’S A BRIDGE TOO FAR ASSHOLE!!!

Jesus, it likes watching the emporer in the original trilogy, it didn’t matter to the backstory. The whole movie says nothing matters, anything in the past is the past and they are moving forward.

The switch to Kinja or whatever the fuck it is called really did fuck up the community this place used to have. I remember logging in every Wednesday looking for the Random Acts of Costanza post and being able to follow and find things in a generally not-shitty way.

I remember when the AV Club used to live-chat these things. But I remember a lot about the AV Club. (I’m in a mood because I read the second-to-last entry in A Histroy of Violence again earlier, and it reminded me of what things used to be like.)

I love me some Gary Oldman overacting.

Yes, we really need films to focus much more on the important stuff our heroes did, like whether they used an un-PC word or were over-familiar with the women in their staff, not the trivial minutiae like defeating a genocidal dictator who’d taken over most of Europe.

Take away the visuals, and all movies become radio plays.

I have a religious upbringing AND I think religion is generally bullshit. I think the show itself isn't sure what it's saying about religion. Of course religious imagery doesn't equal religious endorsement, but I feel that sometimes it argues that faith is indeed necessary and sometimes it argues that faith is harmful.
