You accidentally put a Jezebel article on AVClub.

The new format hides reviews. This is a really shitty platform if you want the visitor to find anything other than the 3 most recent columns

When talking about Hillary and race, it’s also important to remember the role her husband’s administration played in mass incarceration. The AEDPA, the ACCA, and the crime bill of 1994 massively expanded federal law enforcement and strengthened state law enforcement. IIRAIRA mostly made life much harder for…

It’s less than one year since America made Trump president. I’d hold off on deciding that the republicans are too repugnant to win elections in the future.

Yes, now, while a white supremacist is in charge of the federal government and 35 state governors are republican is the time to give the government the power to regulate speech. I anticipate that working well and not backfiring.

None of the far right parties have gotten above the 5% line in national elections, and the AfD (which is generally more isolationist than Nazi-ish, though it can be a blurry line) got hosed in the last round of state elections. Germany has overall been more resistant to the far right than anywhere else on the…

Yes, we should get rid of free speech so that the federal government can decide what can and can’t be said.

Yes, the iPhone is a toy compared to paypal.

Remember when everyone wanted a la carte cable because they were mad about paying for sports ball and the kardashians?

And if you just want to live in an eternal present, with no memory of anything, that’s on you.

All movies are dated in the sense that they look like movies made at about the same time. This is even true of whatever bullshit you think is the cutting edge of editing. In a few years, it will look “dated,” and an even younger, more asshole-ish version of you is going to be telling you that movies you like are…

I’m sorry I’m not woke enough to want someone who met her whole career putting black people in prison to be president.

It’s dated in the sense that it looks like other movies made at about the same time. All movies are dated. “Dated” is the most useless adjective you can apply to something, unless you believe there’s some eternal Platonic Form of Film Editing that isn’t dated.

Editing hasn’t improved since Battleship Potemkin. The problem isn’t the pacing. It’s that you’re probably only half-watching while playing with your phone.

I’ve listened to the radio show some. I really like Orson Welles’ radio performances, but there’s an enormous gap between his roguish scheming in the radio show (things like tricking rich ladies to buy paintings) and in the movies (SPOILERs - selling counterfeit morphine and killing children).

I think you’re watching the wrong movies, or not actually paying attention. Lots of old black and white movies are well-paced, especially compared to some modern prestige movies. Even going back to silent films, The General, Sherlock, Jr., City Lights, etc. are pretty quick. I can’t imagine anyone watching The Third…

That’s not any worse than the other bullshit, ad hoc, pseudo-principled justifications torrenters use.

The problem isn’t Gertrude’s absence. It’s Brian K. Vaughan’s and Adrian Alphona’s.

They’re the Run-Aways.

This is a good way to make sure nothing changes concerning how police shootings are treated.
