Well yeah, you were an adult. Your perspective has changed. Xander was a hormonal teenage doofus. His behavior can be pretty awful at times but it also feels pretty reasonably true. Which is why I enjoy him. I'll take a real if sometimes unlikeable character over a totally likeable but fake one.

I'd like to see a Rifftrax, but only if Mary Jo and Bridget are on board. Not sure Mike, Bill, and Kevin would be the best commenters on what is clearly a feminist-leaning movie.

Just watched it and I gotta say, I think A- is generous. It's not just a little self-indulgent, it's HUGELY self-indulgent. It's still entertaining and moderately successful at discussing feminist themes, but it's also anachronistic in a way that the review clearly finds charming but I found exasperating. I also…

Just matching your own tone. Maybe cool it with the nerdrage next time?

The idea of "creepy thing moves when you aren't looking" predates Doctor fing Who. You might as well say the Weeping Angels ripped off Boo from Super Mario Brothers. Stop being a ridiculous fanboy.

The better criticism is that horror clowns are a tired trope. Just like every other tired trope that this show pulls out of its ass and then beats into a pulp with shit writing…

Lord yes! She's a better actress by far. And to play the objectification game for a moment, I also believe Gugino to be hotter.

This goes for features, too. Sorry, Jessica Alba. You don't get to play Nancy Callahan, famed stripper of Sin City, and keep your clothes on. Why Rodriguez and/or Frank Miller decided to keep her in that role when there are many equally (or frankly MORE) talented actresses without a prudish streak is beyond me. …

To Zack's point: Strip clubs on network TV and basic cable are idiotic because they aren't actually strip clubs. They are, at best, bikini bars. Do not set a scene in a strip club if nobody is actually stripping. The only way this works is if all the shots are mediums or close-ups and the dancers are standing on a…

I know it's been 5 months since you wrote this, so sorry if I'm a bit behind, but I actually didn't think Crispin "clearly" was in on the killings. I thought for sure Crispin being gone so long was so that the audience would sort of forget him, then when Erin manages to kill all the villains Crispin would return but…

As a Jethro Tull fan, I'm disappointed you didn't mention them here. …………. meta

So a Whedon actor is good in a Whedon production? Um, hooray?

I'm not counting Angel as apart from Buffy in this instance. Alexis Denisof played Wesley in both shows. Outside of Wesley, what has Denisof done of note? Also, I *suppose* Alyson Hannigan has managed to break out, though I don't particularly like How I Met Dozens of Women Who Strangely Tolerated My Horrible…

And for all that I think Eliza Dushku isn't that great an actress, she was AMAZING as Faith. Really none of the cast has done as good work as they did on Buffy, imho. *Maybe* Anthony Head on BBC stuff.
