I feel like Jost’s remark about knowing what to do when people make fun of your wife on national TV went over the audience’s heads.

I’m pretty sure that “enjoying things is for suckers!” is the AV Club’s motto.

Um, this seems harmless? 

the interviewer really gave him the rope and he hung himself again and again.

Same here. David Fucking Sirota bemoaning the current “Everybody retreats to their corners and then we fight” state of affairs in this country is like the plot of a whole other movie.

“High on its own supply” is a good way to describe my criticism of the film. I liked it more that most McKay films, but I thought McKay was too eager to wink at the audience when he thought he was being especially clever. Armando Ianucci (to pull a satirist’s name out of a hat) would have played the film more deadpan,…

Honestly just the tone of “We Fucked Up and There’s Nothing We Can Do!” kind of turned me off to seeing the movie. There is shit we can do it’s just that the wealthy have no interest in doing it.

“Smarmy” is an accurate description of how most of the movie comes across. It’s also so nihilistic and pessimistic that I’m not sure it’s actually prescribing anything other than giving up.

“Wasn’t photogenic” = “won’t let me take nudes of her”

My favorite character/performance all along was Kate O’Flynn’s DC Lancing. And I was resigned for most of this episode to being disappointed. Obviously the role of the investigator is naturally deemphasized once we get to the trial phase of the Law & Order formula. But even in Susan’s Western fantasy, they are…

Saying “Cool” is one of “the least beloved numbers” in West Side Story is one of the dumber things I’ve read.  It’s an iconic song that has been studied and analyzed in courses and literature on music and songwriting.  And it is a decisively fun, complex, and engaging tune.  If you’re gonna take shots at WSS, there…

You mean that murderers are liars too? Who could have ever known?

It always has been and always will be. Trust the fungus.

And to her face! That was the hard part. “I’ll never forgive her”.

You don’t.  I’m not terribly interested in it, either, but I understand why other people are.  Silence isn’t a very bold moral stance, you know?

He can be a nice guy. He can be generous. He can be annoyingly cheesy as hell. his restaurants can suck. All of those can happen at the same time.

Is it really a dig on him at all?
He’s squeaky clean and apolitical and hasn’t fucked up his brand or been a shitpiece to women or minorities (as far as we know).

About the worst thing I can say about him is he won’t change the steering wheel on the Camaro for the correct one, even when offered it free of charge.

I think the original message totally misconstrued due to a lack of appropriate punctuation but a good reply (considering the review) nonetheless.

i’m sorry, next time i’ll try to be more vague.

so.... basically it’s Mare of Easttown, but the leads are male? Got it.
