"And Tsui Hark followed his deeply bizarre Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle Double Team with the almost-as-weird Knock Off, in which fashion exporter Van Damme teams up with CIA agent Rob Schneider to combat a global exploding-jeans plot."

I like Pope Francis. Seems like a pretty cool dude for a pope all things considered.

There were a number of additional factors that influenced the brouhaha over the ending. The (1) extraordinary thematic dissonance was one, but you also had people upset at (2) the binary (trinary?) choices copped from Deus Ex: HR that only changed the color of explosions, (3) tons of interviews where Bioware reps…

Did you only play it after the expanded endings that Bioware released? At release, it was an inconsistent and incoherent mess if you were doing a paragon play-through: you spend ~60 hours of gametime across the three games demonstrating that different races and organics and AIs can work together in peace, only to have…

Oh, absolutely! Actually, the first time the song was introduced for public consumption (the 1949 film "Neptune's Daughter"), it was sung with *both* the man *and* the woman as the 'wolf' character, at different parts of the film.

"Baby It's Cold Outside" is a favorite Christmas song of mine, but I can admit that it walks the line between 'classic' and 'uncomfortable' (though to be fair, it's basically been doing that since Loesser and Garland penned the song).

My favorite of the latter examples are when the writer completely misinterprets a work, and bases his or her criticism on that misinterpretation. The takedowns of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" based on the misconception that Mommy is actually having an extramarital affair with jolly old St. Nic always make me…

It was pretty bad though. About as thematically and tonally inconsistent with the rest of the series as you could imagine if you were doing a paragon play-through (spend a few dozen hours solving disagreements, setting right relations between AI and organic species so that everyone is living and working happily…

Fittingly enough, Heinz will share credit for this slogan with the fictional community that makes up the AV Club comments section.

It was a good movie that turned into a bad comedy the moment Michael Douglas showed up on screen. Rumor has it his part was written late and forced into the movie when Douglass decided he wanted to be in the film and demanded a larger role.

Carla was the prom queen.

@gus_sheridan:disqus , '82 was good to great too, but I think '93 is a bit deeper.

Great movie. 1993 was the best year we've had for Hollywood movies in the last 40+ years:

The classic Manhattan recipe (whiskey, sweet vermouth, a dash of bitters) is quite good, and doesn't really need updating.

Sure, why not.

The headline seems roughly equivalent to saying "It would be pretty easy to make a roadmap of downtown Manhattan in 1760."

Who knows, it might be a good thing for the moving picture as well. Filmmaking today isn't really where the sexy or interesting commercial stuff happens anyways - that's TV, and increasingly series and better one-offs are being financed by Amazon, Netflix, and other streaming services.

That's just how the word was used - it was only rarely (to my knowledge) used in with a woman as the subject of the sentence. The action (the verb 'cuckolding') was taken by a man (the one sleeping with the wife another man), and its effects were had on another man (the husband).

Is there anything wrong with acknowledging a bit of nuance now and then?

It's always a bit amazing to me how people can refuse to admit that something exists just because they think its inverse is a far bigger problem. It's like there's some Sgt. Schultz/Baghdad Bob class in denying inconvenient things that I must have missed growing up.
