Why is it that no writer at any point was ever willing to just commit to Kylo being a villain? He’s a wretched little rat bastard, he doesn’t need redemption just because his grandad did. Just let him be evil!

“It’s so cool that they’re bringing in Palpatine’s boss(?) after never mentioning him in any movies. So neat that he was just off-screen the entire time!”

In the article’s defense, “lady parts” IS by default a funnier term than “vagina”.

This has absolutely no bearing on my life whatsoever and yet I am also pissed off by all of this. Good for Meghan and Harry, screw the tabloids, and the rest of the royals too for doing fuck-all about any of this. Even William couldn’t be bothered to stand up for his sister-in-law despite Harry defending Kate.

Counterpoint: There only great movie nominated is ‘Parasite’, the rest are solidly in to the ‘pretty good’ to ‘meh’ range. 

This show and Hannibal are the two examples I always give when people complain about TV adaptations of existing movies. There have been plenty of bad ones that don’t “get it”. But these two specific examples show that it can be done well. Two of my favorite series of the last decade come from turning a movie into a…

I remember the first time I heard that FX were doing a Fargo series and I went into it without expecting much. It’s now probably one of my favourite tv shows and I think that Season 2 is probably one of the finest seasons of television ever produced.

but then you’d never get to see fat adama...

In the days leading up to the 2020 Golden Globe Awards, Ricky Gervais seemed to have learned from the criticism he received for his recent transphobic jokes. But the lesson wasn’t “Try to avoid jokes about subjects you don’t understand.” It was more about imagining future persecution for the sake of avoiding it. In…

The longer this goes on, the more I’m becoming convinced that Paltrow intended goop as a joke and then it took on a life of its own and she’s making a fuckton of money from it and doesn’t know how to stop.

Ironically, I’m now starting to think Netflix shows oughtta be regulated.

GOOP is a lot like MAGA. Somehow it’s really popular and yet no one I know admits to liking it. Yet, statistically, some of my friends are GOOPING and MAGAing.

I couldn’t agree more but would you mind helping me work through the details? Since there are no shortage of murderous regimes around the globe, shall we just start assassinating people in all of those countries too? Should we just stop at one? How do we decide who gets it first? Should Saudi Arabia be next? It’s…

Well, you could go the fuck away. I bet that would solve the problem for ya double-quick.

Nah its pretty accurate. He’s made some of a lot of people’s favourite movies, so it’s sad he’s so out of touch and bitter these days, and his status as a film industry underdog makes it even more disappointing.

There’s a lot of people who think that because I’m overtly car-maniacal, I’ll go along with whatever anti-bike nonsense they’re going to parrot. Second to cars, my favorite transport method is cycling.

Oh my God, Will Harris! You mean all I had to do to get my favourite AVC writer to show up was to invoke his name in some random comments section? I should’ve done this so much sooner because you’re not around here anywhere close to enough any more. Thought maybe you were done. It’s good to see you though, and thanks…

I’ve said this at the end of each season, Alex, but once again, thank you for these pieces. They’re what I wish for most from reading reviews. They added to the experience, highlighted things I might’ve missed or provided context or trivia I might not have been aware of, and had an insightful point of view.…

Alternatively, those “real Star Wars fans” can always do the Cats Challenge.
