“Sharks have a whole week dedicated to him....The most interesting man in the world”

My one hope for all of this: I never have to hear about the fucking Snyder Cut again. I generally try not to yuck other people’s yum. I get that Snyder’s style is not appealing to me and that’s fine. Enjoy what you enjoy.

But damnit I am tired of hearing about this fucking thing.

I’m 51, so to say this show was in my wheelhouse would be an understatement.  It was a must-watch in every college dorm in America; irreverent, funny, hip.  So good.  Thanks for doing this.

Yeah, I’m another Gen X’er who watched Remote Control, religiously, as a kid. I loved the show and I dug the humor and chaos and whatnot but, oddly, what I remember most is the show introducing me to the concept of racial bias.

You see, they did a celebrity episode where the contestants were Weird Al, Julie Brown (I…

Thank you for what may be the best researched piece I’ve ever read on AV Club.

You know why they put it there — because lightsaber battles are cool! All the fans wanted to see Yoda kick ass (including me in his first duel with Count Dooku), and watching CGI Yoda bouncing around Christopher Lee was kind of absurdly wonderful.

TLDR: “I’m a big boring bore who doesn’t think /r/Wallstreetbets screwing over Melvin is funny,” even though it objectively is.

“did Trump change anyone’s life in a meaningful way”

I think the kids locked in cages and the people who lost family to Covid found it pretty fucking meaningful. He also undermined our elections and attempted to overthrow the government, which to quote Joe Biden is “A Big Fucking Deal”. I could go on but I’m sick of the fucker. Do not minimize the fucker, shit was not…

And yet Republicans are mad Jill Biden can be called doctor because of her actual real degree. 

Of course it’s a Trash finale! You think he wouldn’t show up for the end?

I’m glad to hear Lauder’s a significant focus of the mini-series. I’ve always found him to be an utterly fascinating character, one of King’s best villains (to the extent he even qualifies as a “villain”). The review calls him a proto-incel, and that’s right on, and it really speaks well of King that he was able to…

There are some great points here about how much pressure Columbus et al was under to make as literal of an adaptation as possible. Yet it made for such an interesting contrast to Fellowship of the Ring, which came out only a month later. The Sorcerer’s Stone reeked of a studio trying desperately to make money off a…

Fuck everything, I like Wonderful Christmastime.

I saw “American Werewolf” with a group of my friends the day it came out when I was in high school. We all dug the unexpected combination of comedy and horror...and Jenny Agutter. She wasn’t in “The Howling,” so “American Werewolf” is better.

How is this even a question? “American Werewolf in London” has everything you could want in a movie, especially a Halloween movie...it’s got scary bits, tension/suspense (the whole first part has your heartrate racing), a good story with pretty good dialogue, mythology/mysticism, awesome dark humor, a fairly…

“The Howling” is an entertaining romp with some unexpected intelligence, but no, “American Werewolf in London,” is the clear winner. Humble-brag, but I appreciate it more after having traveled in Europe as a young man.

Interestingly, the alternate title of this movie was Shit Sandwich.

This book is good and you should read it. 

TBH for how vividly I remember it being Ben Templesmith, it’s pretty impossible to find out who actually did the art- maybe it was Templesmith, or maybe I just read that that art is similar to his- which is funny that they sourced Ruas to do the revival, considering he gets recognition for his uncanny similarity to…
