trying to tell us in the early seasons that the characters in Lost were totally Not Dead

An absolute legend who lived a long and incredible life. I was delighted that he got to make that cameo in 2022. 

I’m sorry, I’m still having parsing that MCA’s passing was over a decade ago. My brain scanned that sentence and short-circuited, like a malicious QR code.

I will never not bring up how great Caroline Siede’s When Romance Met Comedy feature was when the opportunity presents itself.

Also, this looks like the first part of a regular feature. Remember when the AV Club had those? Articles based on actual topics, and not just wild speculation about a single quote from a 10 second red carpet interview.

“I think George Miller is a feminist, and he made a feminist action film.”

The world weeps that Roger Corman was never able to make a Turner D. Century film!

this is so refreshing to see, a classic av club piece. keep em coming.

“Innocent until proven guilty” just means the jury should only vote guilty if they think there’s no reasonable doubt about it. Literally no one else in the world but those twelve people is under any obligation to consider it. And if anyone wants to argue this, I’ll just ask: did you wait until Harvey Weinstein was…

I just figured there isn’t much of an audience today for shows with Kevin Spacey in a lead role. No one really wants to watch him, let alone work with him.

Well, he’s been super supportive of JK Rowling this whole time. This is really just a lateral move.

Even with all the chaos, incredible show and nobody does the Eurovision contest like Sweden does. There is a reason why Petra Mede is an icon in the competition at this point. Also deeply sad that apparently the runestones had already sold out.

I hope he haunts your dumb ass for calling him a producer.

The cranky bastard. I’ll miss him.

As much as I love the LOTR films, and I do, for a lot of it you’re being asked to care about things that are by their nature abstract: magic rings, battles between imaginary kingdoms, supernatural evil. Theoden, when he’s mourning the loss of his son, brings it back down to something real and visceral, and my God did…

If it feels modern, it’s because nothing’s as timeless as domestic abuse. Charles Boyer would fit right in as a case study in Jess Hill’s See What You Made Me Do or in any county courthouse DV order hearing.

Honestly, the fate and history of the 1940 Gaslight is one of my favorite things ever. MGM trying to make the original film just...disappear, literally disappear forever, in favor of their own version. It’s just so delicious! “Don’t be ridiculous, Gaslight is a 1944 film with Ingrid Bergman!! You must be imagining…

I don’t know why you’re saying this is a good film, it’s obviously bad and everyone else knows it, you just think it’s good because you’re crazy

Gaslight is actually 84, because the play first got a British adaptation that was buried by MGM when they bought back the rights. They denied it even existed and they tried to destroy all copies. That’s right, they gaslit it out of existence.
