I don't have any hate for Blankets, but I cannot for the life of me understand why it's held up as special in any way. It's a stock coming-of-age story that's much too long. I read it after reading a bunch of pieces on how amazing it was, and I spent the entire time wondering when it was going to hit the point where…

hilariously, sadly, this is not the first time this has happened to the AVC

casting directors everywhere are sick to death of Gimme Gimme

it seems like a really odd choice of plotline for a couple of honestly religious writers to try and tackle

and that gets back to *that* issue: when AVC decided TV Club was a big priority. It's what? half the content of this site now?

"Yeah, the audio had been remastered, and yeah, yeah, yeah, the material had never been sequenced in this order or packaged with this groovy red and yellow artwork, but were we really buying “Love Me Do” and “Yesterday” again?"

wait, you're claiming you can't tell the difference between dvd and bd? are you watching on a cathode ray tv?

"this moment drew cheers the first time I saw the movie, back in 2002. Unless my theater was a total anomaly, the prevailing sentiment was not “ugh, CG!”"

"The Wendy character is King’s other big complaint about the first adaptation, deriding her as “insulting to women… basically a scream machine” rather than a complex character in her own right, a criticism far harder to dismiss than his dislike of the story’s changed emotional tone."

On the Air was hilarious when I watched it.

the Tower Records Classical in my college town had the most comprehensive opera collection I ever saw collected together in one place.

I caught 15 min of the second one a year or so ago, and it has aged horribly. I can't imagine someone who hasn't seen it before finding it amusing today. It's filled with 90s references.

WFE made me throw it across the room it was so dumb.

" the movie that was so much fun for the audience to participate with had become just a sideshow for the audience itself."

I thought *several* times this would have worked better if it was set in the mid-90s and Woodrugh was a vet from the first gulf war.

spoil me the ending!

teenagers are into nostalgia??

it certainly helps that he has a sense of place in Britain. He understands the cities he is in, and knows what agriculture is nearby and what the people are like. When he gets dropped off in some Gulf coast Florida town he has no way to relate.

the key to understanding HK is to know that it's in no way a 'cooking competition show'. It's a 'restaurant running competition show'

I couldn't possibly disagree more. I thought the editing/direction of the shoot out was horrendously confusing. I kept comparing it with the LA shootout from Heat, which keeps everything crystal clear. Here I never had a clue where people were in relation to each other. I couldn't even keep track of who was on what…
