It's a reference to the other Christine Chubbuck film mentioned in the body of the text.

"Nervous? Don't be. Meng and his team of misfits scorch the screen in this nail-biting marketing blockbuster. Is my dick hard when I ask questions and then immediately answer them? You bet." —- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone's Marketing Director

So Shailene Woodley AND Shailene Woodley appear in the film? At the same time????

Not seriously, no. I'm not against it, per se, but it starts blurring that line between empirical and stastical evidence-based medicine / techniques and "alternative" or "complementary" methods. I always seem to lump it in with acupuncture and "organic" foods.

The perfectness of your username aside, I think you are onto something there. I certainly didn't mean to imply those who choose to ignore death and tragedy are dullards - apologies if it came off that way.

I had no idea of the previous poster's comments, but I understand where you are coming from. I am trying to view it through my own lens and that's clearly a mistake. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I read through these comments and it really doesn't make sense to me how vitriolic many of these responses are.

BOOM goes the dynamite!

*SPOILERS FOR The Killing Joke
You know, I need to really investigate more into that scene. I just saw the film last night, and when that scene occurred, the entire audience laughed. It just felt so ridiculous. I didn't feel offended by it though, as many have. As I said, I need to think on it more - do some more…

I came away really disappointed in that film. It really functioned as Jeff Nichols's Super 8 in that it attempted to have some sort of Spielberg-vibe, complete with all the wonder and awe, but it felt forced and superficial, lacking the real emotional depth (or I guess you could call it "heart") that something like Clo…

Good thinking! We could blow them up with fireworks! I knew there was a reason I liked you.

If only they could have hired the Slo-mo guys…and filled the body parts with muscle and blood. And used real people.

Well now that you mention it…

I would argue if that's the case, then your point didn't really seem to have much to do with Ellsworth Toohey's, at least not on its surface. To your point ("Race didn't matter"), you do refrain from mentioning it until, however, your second to last line. When you do eventually bring it up, it sort of recontextualizes…

If you're keeping with the first film. From 1984. 32 years ago. 5 presidents ago. 4 Jurassic Parks ago. 1 Neil Degrasse Tyson ago.

It's spelled that way on IMDB.

More flies with honey and all that jazz.

for the future, try using font editing to help make your argument a bit clearer (i, too, thought you were being an ass).

You came to the table with clear and concise criticisms. The manner in which you deployed your sarcastic wit was exemplary. For that, I grant you 16.8 Comment Points. However, your inability to really dig at the heart of what Kularanini was trying to convey and analyse his/her opinion beyond a simple rebound retort…

Comprised of a bunch of us AVClub commenters? I'm down. What do I have to do? Can I hold the camera? What happens if you're accosted by a spirit? Should I just film it or should I help you? Look we gotta lay down some ground rules here.
