In fairness, he tried the fedora, but the women of Twitter came down hard on the fedora after Age of Ultron. It hasn’t been seen in public in two years. There are unconfirmed reports the fedora still sits alone in its darkened bedroom, wondering how it all went so wrong so quickly.

Again: I’m not saying that. He can say that. But in so doing, he outs himself as a crabby old man who can’t deal with anyone disagreeing with him.

He spent a year informing all of us that nobody had ever grieved like he’d grieved, then he proposed to the first woman he was set up with. A few hundred women said hey, WTF, King of Grief? It was nothing that called for a cyberbullying hate outburst.

In the unlikely event that anyone cares enough, count the number of times in this thread I’ve been called a name and told to shut up. It’s the internet. It’s the USA. The idea of an anonymous internet guy or second-rate standup comedian invalidating the First Amendment is ludicrous.

Like I said, I said nothing over the weekend. The idea of people like you (just now) and Patton Oswalt telling people they can’t post to the internet is what’s offensive. Notice how the AV Club has a comments section, so people can react to the article? It increases hits and thus ad revenue. It’s a behavior…

If you look, I made one post and responded to responses. But like Patton, you seem to believe you have the right to tell people they can’t post to the internet. When, you know, the idea of Patton telling anyone they talk too much is surreal.

Actually, I like this tangent. Glad to pursue it. My claims:

You seem to be a real expert on “Patton Oswald.” And from the twatwaffle I take it you, like Patton, subscribe to name-calling when someone disagrees with you.

Brad Bird is one of the greatest animators the world has known. But leaving Patton’s super-replaceable voice performance in that movie and sticking us with Patton will go on his record forever.

Trust me, I’m quite in touch with the horribleness of Suicide Squad. Like every woman in the Western world, I like the character.

Somebody actually talented, Paul McCartney, stayed above it when people questioned his marriage to Heather Mills. And that was three years after Linda died. And he now calls his marriage to Heather Mills one of the biggest mistakes of his life.

Oh, please. Patton’s behaved this way forever. Just a few months ago he was calling GQ writer Nathaniel Friedman a d*ckless daffodil for questioning his maudlin death tweets. Unlike Patton, I don’t question Patton’s right to say it. But I also don’t question the women’s rights to speak, there are eight billion of…

Back before the internet people like Jan Murray realized they were failures and stuck to getting drunk and telling racist jokes while people waited for somebody talented like Frank Sinatra to start singing. If Jerry Seinfeld announced that everyone who disagreed with him was a grub worm you’d say, wow, success really…

It’s either an anti-Christie thing or Patton Oswalt died yesterday and asked for his grave and tombstone to be placed on the beach.

Nothing could make you root for the germs in their war against humanity like Gawker. My choice for the all-time Clash of the A-Hole Titans was what happened when Gawker quoted an NBC executive saying that Harris Wittels' last sitcom pilot stunk. You can still read it by googling "It's Because You're A C*nt, Harris"…

Nelson Muntz says "You made me bleed my own blood" in the first-season Bart the General on The Simpsons.

JoBlo sometimes prints rumor, so take this for what it's worth. But according to JoBlo, Joss took the job thinking he was agreeing to write the T-Girl movie. And his agent had to break the news to him about the B and the A.

There's an extra level of scariness because a ghost who sexually harasses you would be the worst.

Very much my feeling - this is a demonstration of how Batman towers over all other superhero characters. He’s reached the level of Shakespeare, you can set him in the groovy ‘60s or the bleak post-apocalypse, and neither version invalidates the other.

I once had a tiny role in rewriting a script Dave Eggers had worked on, and he’s not only a terrific writer but a good guy. Nobody’s cool about late-stage changes, and he was actually supportive and gave guidance.
