The only reason to do a movie about a few teachers and some former, now graduated students of a small, crappy, quirky community college is if they go really big with it. My idea? Pierce never actually died, but his cult, Reformed Neo Buddhism, kept him and several others within a secret underground complex that the…

“Just seems like nerds need to learn to let shit go.”

I think that’s actually an indirect symptom of the show going downhill.

More like Jon’s Pert Weiner, amirite?

Apparently they are the good type of history text books

Why does Chuck Todd, the largest newscaster, not simply eat the other five?

I didn’t know it existed until this news started breaking, and I still don’t know what it’s for or what’s on it

Simple question (which means I know it is already above the heads of anyone in the executive reaches of the entertainment industry):

Why are “Discover” and “Discover+” (instead of “Discovery” and “Discovery+”) such common typos here all of a sudden? It’s weirding me out.

She is throwing shade. I don’t like DW’s work, but she is an actual musical genius and is probably tired of reading shit like this about a pop star who doesn’t write any of her own material:

i think jenny from the block, a song about being jennifer lopez, had 36 credited writers.

Twitter’s like google, but every result has “you idiot” appended.

Here’s an actual article about this phenomenon: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/long-songwriting-credits.

I mean, Diane Warren’s written #1 songs by herself, no samples needed, but Beyonce needs 24 people and apparently a truckload of other people’s music to write a track? If I were Warren I’d be bragging.

Sampling doesn’t explain 24 writer credits on a song, there are so many examples that prove that. Beyonce is a curated product, not an artist, that is the explanation. 

Once more the sun comes up and a starving AVClub writer struggles to mine controversy from a mild twitter disagreement.

Hot take: He was the good guy in Rocky IV. 

He was Ivan Drago! The bad guy! He should want to break Sylvester Stallone, not make him feel better about the fact that he doesn’t own any part of the film franchise he created!

Who remembers when the AV Club ran a weekly crossword puzzle? That’s how long I’ve been a regular visitor here. After all the great writers and features that have gone, and all the full-screen pop-up ads and everything else awful that’s been added, these 30-second videos (that, by the way, I’m not going to watch and …

I don’t know about you, but I’m not hanging around this truckstop parking lot for nothing.
