I unliked the AV Club on Facebook after they spolied the joke that Christie Brinkley would be guest-starring on "Parks And Recreation" as Jerry's wife.

The year America discovered that Ellen DeGeneres was gay!

Along the same line, I also like to think of Kylo Ren as a would-be, in-universe prequel-basher, in that his always-simmering rage would certainly be directed any anybody who suggested Vader was ever anything else other than a consummate badass. Or George Lucas.

I always liked to think of Anakin as sort of a Dirk Diggler-esque figure—not that bright, kind of a dork, but born with something that came to control his destiny.

What I've always appreciated about the portrayal of Hank Kingsley is that he is never completely untalented, but rather that his talent is limited. In many ways, his pathetic boorishness is simply behavior modeled on similar behavior considered acceptable when coming from other, more talented (and more famous)

That's ICONIC loosely organized hybrid gang to you!

South Park is celebrating twenty years on television, and yet the show falls short of being proclaimed "iconic" by the AV Club.

*checks watch* Has anybody yet referred to the reboot as "iconic"?

While on paper it sounds interesting that Stewart's character was an obsessed, middle-aged, and apparently "confirmed bachelor", while watching the film, I just remember thinking that Stewart simply seemed too old for the role.

I finally got around to seeing "Vertigo" not long ago. I'm not a huge Hitchcock fan, but his films always impress me on a techinical level. "Vertigo", however, was one of those films where I needed to plow through a few essays and commentary tracks before I got a sense as to why it has resonated with film critics.

But how am I going to know if a sporting event is exciting unless it is described to me with copious amounts of energy and attitude?

This can't be written by an AV Club staff writer! He didn't use the word "iconic" once!

What's even worse about Patty Duke's death is to learn that she died of sepsis, which is about as godawful a way to die "naturally" as there is.
