I mean, almost every work of crime fiction takes inspiration in one way or another from actual events. I don’t think anyone is going to look at the film and think it’s trying to be an accurate representation of her experiences.

I feel like I am shouting into the void saying this.  I solidly think it was a racing incident and I think the penalty was appropriate. They were both racing hard and going side by side like inches from each other sometimes ends in a crash. Everyone wants exciting racing, but at some point that is what happens when…

Erik, it was a racing incident, pure and simple. Neither driver was about to yield the race to the other right then. Both drivers were going for the same thing and hoping that the other would bail out.

It was...unfunny...but I also don’t think it’s a “comedy” special...I loved it though..I couldn’t look away...visuals were great, the 1 man choreography and lighting was fantastic and many of the songs had deep thoughtful, sometimes funny lyrics

I love how the article tries to insinuate that it was terrible that she took a week to respond to this manufactured controversy. Y’all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

Well, shit on it :(

41 year old me here reminding 42 year old you that the narrator projecting is the point of the entire movie.

With the caveat that I have not read Mr. Beans’ statement in full, I have to say the parts quoted in this article sound like really good points. And then this article sounds like a perfect example of what he is talking about. Maybe the author of this article meant it to be like a meta ironic commentary? Like what bean…

Of course John McClane goes through a “self realization transformation” - there’s a very pretty obvious thread of him understanding that he needs to support his wife’s career choices, that his lashing out at her was selfish and immature, and that the ball is in his court, with the push to overcome his male ego coming…

Just a month ago 70 million Americans voted for Trump (not to mention that many of them now believe there was a vast conspiracy that successfully carried out massive, multistate voter fraud). Yet we are supposed to believe people are smart enough to understand “...it’s a work of fiction that’s broadly based on…

I liked this movie when it came out and I still like it. I though Fox was great in it and Amanda was good. Shout out to Brody who played his small part as the asshole you wish dies an awful death.

Looked up the original AVC coverage for this movie (https://film.avclub.com/jennifer-s-body-1798206973) and it was...not kind, is putting it lightly. Do you think those wildly diverging opinions are more about different tastes, or different expectations/attitudes going in?

Eventually, it gets hard not to notice that pretty much everyone who has actually accomplished something is on one side of these kinds of arguments (anti cancel culture, hysterical wokeness is embarrassing and counterproductive) while the other side is, well, the kind of people who write for the AV Club, Jezebel, etc.

If you would have given me three tries to answer the question “is America’s Funniest Home Videos still on the air?” I still would have gotten it wrong.

She definitely comes off more sympathetic than anyone else on the show — even with the strong assertion she killed her husband. I know that’s saying something, but they make the point that she’s the victim of an abusive home and multiple rapes and at 17 was manipulated by said husband, who was much older, wealthy, and…

What's her take on Woody Allen's book?

Not blow it out of proportion? Are you freakin’ kidding me? This is the AV Club! We all have to get together and furiously hate this person forever! If you don’t, that’s rape! You are literally raping women right now if you’re not expressing outrage at Larry David.

It’s pretty disingenuous to post an article advertising the new special with that kind of approach in the first place.

Though ultimately I agree with your spirit of he who is without sin let him cast the fist stone, I can safely say that though I’ve done a lot of bad things in my life, thankfully nothing as bad as sexually harassing a whole bunch of people. It’s possible that the holier than thou attitude is a matter of degrees of…
