I think the point I was responding to boils down to "I personally didn't like this trailer." But that's an exceptionally boring thing to say…nobody's personal tastes are interesting in and of themselves. So they tried to dress the statement up with a vague appeal to the concept of "authenticity", which is the biggest

Having seen the first episode, my two biggest worries were laid to rest. First, that it just wouldn't be funny. I was watching alone, and still laughed out loud three or four times through the course of the episode. I don't generally do that, so that's a win.

Perfectly calm, Dude. Calmer'n you.

Glad to entertain. Not sure where the impression that I was upset came from, nor how you missed the entire paragraph explicitly disclaiming the idea that I care whether or not people like this movie (which, n.b., nobody has actually seen). I will say that the non-sequitur usage of the phrase "safe space" is a pretty

And you're just discovering this boredom now? It was this trailer that brought on the realization? Because otherwise it seems like an easy tossed-off way to get in with a quick contrarian take.

I prefer to think of it as standing AGAINST semantically empty pseudo-profound bullshit, but I can understand how some would feel different. Have fun at the next Adbusters brainstorming session!

Absolutely correct. I jumped the gun labeling cigarrete. It should've been obvious ahead of time that the Terrence Stamp fan was going to leave everyone else in the dust in the disturbing commenting behavior contest.

It's not the number of clicks. It's being able to speak from experience of the number of clicks. I've got people I work with whose names I don't know after three years working here. And I don't care to, let alone checking into the history of forum participants on the internet. But hell, that's me. I just ask,

If only! I could use some of that sweet, sweet corporate cheddar.

Glad you liked it, weird stalker person.

Well, fuck, it's not as though they were ever gonna hire David Lynch to direct one of these things, right? I think your statement amounts to claiming surprise that a Marvel movie is a Marvel movie.

Right, because nothing manufactured by a corporate entity of any kind has ever managed to do more than simulate "real" fun. That basketball you used to shoot hoops with? Manfactured by a wholly owned subsidiary of Amer Sports, a Finnish multi national conglomerate. The fun you had was fake.

I believe the point is to act on behalf of civil rights for atheists in the courts.

Hi, A.V. Club, I'm a guy who actually reads "Archie" comics. Like, currently. I actually enjoy 'em, a lot. I know this whole project sounds ridiculous. Like, if you know the comics, but haven't read them recently, it seems like it must be the result of the network balking at the source material being too

Then who was phone?

Somebody mentioned "They Might Be Giants" opening up for Blues Traveler. Now I wonder if TMBG just didn't have a really bad booking agent for some span of time, because I saw them open up for Hootie and the Blowfish, during the time when Hootie and the Blowfish were momentarily huge. That was a no-win situation: I
