I think he’s talking about the arc with Ahsoka and the sisters(which felt like a single episode plot which somehow got stretched to 4)

it just feels like too much of this show is comprised of filler or mostly filler episodes.
The squad are not progressing towards any kind of goal or confrontation (I assume EVENTUALLY Crosshair will get around to actively hunting them), and there’s barely any kind of character development after 13 episodes. (it feels…

AVClub: This movie is pretty terrible.

Was this entire interview written by a marketing department? Q’s and A’s feel like they were spat out by a PR bot

Hey, even the origin of the uber-lame “My name is Rappin’ [x] and I’m here to say” rap opening is from a Fruity Pebbles ad.

Only 88 minutes, christ that really terrible section with Bugs and Daffy in MJ’s house really made that film seem longer in memory.

The Wachowskis outright ask audiences to question everything they’re being told on screen. They want us to disengage with Reloaded as a narrative and look at it from an outside perspective—to unplug and see the code, to detect the manipulation in their filmmaking and apply it to their understanding of Neo’s journey.

Yeah, I went in expecting to love it. As a lifelong Marvel fan I thought I’d get all sorts of clever Easter eggs, and as a fan of Patton I thought it would be really funny. But the Easter eggs are pretty shallow and the humor felt really hacky. I watched the first 3 episodes since I nearly gave up on Rick and Morty…

I just didn’t find it very funny. Glad you did, though.

We’ll have to see how much it lifts from The Venture Brothers to find out.

For God’s sake, Sam, can we cut this nonsense out? The “backlash” to the new Disney ride consisted entirely of one editorial on SFGate before Fox News picked it up and ran with their brand new culture war football. There is no need to play their game. I don’t care what two people on some editorial webpage have to say:…

This needs to be copy-pasted as a reply to every article and comment, of any kind, anywhere, that complains about worldbuilding logic in fiction. If a story hits the right emotional beats, then whether the logic makes sense is irrelevant; if it doesn’t hit the right emotional beats, then what difference does the logic…

If you start thinking too hard, you might start asking difficult questions.

In my personal experience, adults who are extremely into Disney and regularly travel there without children are, without fail, fucking weirdos (present company excluded, of course).

Crystal Skull is the kind of movie that works gangbusters in the theater when you first see it, but curdles in memory. Our theater, too, cheered and laughed at all the expected places (including me!) but the more I thought about the movie afterward, the more hollow it seemed.

Look the question isn’t “why doesn’t AV Club cover The Simpsons anymore?” because that’s fucking obvious. The real question is “why does AV Club still cover Saturday Night Live?”

- Looks like there was one disclaimer they forgot.

Eh, not to be a kill joy but... not that good. As a guy who had a job where a large part of my work was looking at stock footage/images, I think there has to be better footage to be used for this. While watching, i found myself wondering how many stock images out there were created in direct reference to Simpsons…

but Paramount+ is the home of all those Star Trek shows. It’s not too much of a stretch for Frasier to meet Captain Picard, and that definitely wouldn’t be the same old show that Kelsey Grammer was making all those years ago.
