I would put them in reverse order as 3 of the 5 best Ghibli. The last 2 have to be in the 10 best Japanese animated features. He probably created 2 masterworks, but it is still sad to see him go. What a vision for art and society he had. And what a good person.

HE IS IN THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN, WHICH WAS GREAT EVEN IN 2017. SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.

Cool-nerd Killmonger is the most attractive male on-screen character I have ever seen. If I were the kind of person to have a Tumblr, it would just be gifs of that with “omg goals” over and over as aspiration.

Are these the hard questions? This is theater. There has been a lot of great writing from policy or policy-adjacent people this week, but distraught teens yelling, “NO MORE GUNS, PUPPET,” at Rubio is just fodder for Outrage Twitter and The A.V. Club (but I repeat myself).

Also, isn’t it pretty clear that they were laughing at Green and not her? I’m sure everyone was thinking it was horrible, but Draymond mouth-breathing, catching himself onscreen, and chuckling led everyone else to laugh, which was also the reaction shot of Kimmel.

Those are 2 separate sets of denominations and sects, but if we’re using 2018 religious descriptions as slurs instead of useful terms, they are still different.

Anytime anyone does this with the Old Testament narrative pieces or gospels, it just reads as the shallowest sort of confirmation bias. If you analyzed crime statistics or the night sky with that sort of rigor, you’d be laughed out of a high school classroom.

He was 1 of the known “nice guys” of that world. I rarely stumble in front of celebrities, but I always appreciated that he told me to “start over” when I tried to explain why The Miners’ Hymns is my favorite movie soundtrack ever. This burns.

It’s rare that I laugh out loud at post-desolation A.V. Club comments, so thanks for that one.

Truly, this was the most Hughes of slip-ups, accidentally naming a video game writer feminist who was cool until she constantly picked unnecessary battles, losing what made her work interesting in the first place.

Moa Pillar:

Alternatively, it will not be interesting to see what they are planning because they are not smart and not good at music, and you could go see Russian music that’s actually good at your local dance club, at South By Southwest, at a Boiler Room show, or at Far From Moscow.

It is rich for Alex to frame this as redundant, pointless, and stupid when he writes for The Fusion A.V. Club in 2018.

“He’s a millionaire who should be a billionaire. You know why he’s not a billionaire? Because he surrounds himself with glad-handed, nonsensical, douchebag yes men, like John Laurinaitis, who’s going to tell him everything he wants to hear, and I’d like to think that maybe this company will better after Vince McMahon…

As Ghost said, it’s almost as if you haven’t mainlined Wiseau-like backyard wrestling lingo for the past 2 years. LIKE YOU’RE A LOSER OR SOMETHING.

The Academy hates Japan (who puts little effort in the political process, anyway), and seems to ask friends who went to Annecy what looked cool.

True, but Zviagintsev is about as actually religious and anti-autocracy as you’re going to get with a major Russian filmmaker in 2018.

I’ll be utterly terrified come 2019 or 2020 when those people also disappear from his service. For the good of mankind, I hope they sacrifice.

This is fair, but I think Dowd did a poor job of representing those here. “Some say racists cops are bad and require explanation! Others say those people are missing the point. One thing’s for sure, the Academy Awards will be QUITE interesting this year. A.A. Dowd, signing off for The A.V. Club.”

I want to steal that accurate description of the flick, but no one I know will understand the references. :(
