All things HAVE more Tessa Thompson.  Kang needs to re-check his math, but remains pretty sure she’s literally in every movie.  That is not a complaint.

Alan Moore’s ‘first try’ was an origin story about the joker.  

Trump enjoys an 89% approval rating among self-described Republicans.  So Kang thinks it’s pretty fair to stereotype Republicans as 89% corrupt racist sexist selfish idiot shitbags.

Um, hate to break character here, but Kang works as a fact-checker. You know, the poor bastards who have to spend 14 hours per article assuring that a news article has solid sources for each and every claim and quote they feature— just so cherry-picking ideologues can dismiss us as ‘fake news’.

Nah, it’s actually a useful term. It’s just that, like ‘Fake News’ and a million other terms that began as legit descriptors, horrible bad-faith people have warped it to suit their toxic agenda. I really think it’s high time we stopped looking for ‘red flags’ in each other’s rhetoric and concentrated on looking at…

Yeah, it’s not as if I begrudge AVClub its progressive politics— Kang shares them! But with the mass exodus of actual writing talent from this site, it seems like AVClub’s new writers, since they possess barely a fraction of the wit and insight of the old staff,  have decided to paper over the gap with an incessant…

Okay, valid points. But the fact is that Honky Tango Foxtrot was extremely civil and didn’t exhibit any hostility in his post. You jumped on him with a ‘fuck-off’ and called it garbage. Yes there are a lot of passive-aggressive MRAs who affect a pose of ‘objectivity’ in order to troll people. But his post was…

Completely agree with all of this. Kang disagrees with each and every one of Macdonald’s opinions, but are they really so offensively stated and conceptually radical that he needs to be publicly shunned? It was disgusting how Fallon treated the Trump interview. It ENRAGED me. But I don’t find other viewpoints so…

Trick R Treat is a wonderful movie with a STACKED cast that is used perfectly. And lots of old-school horror setups that manage to be loveably traditional and effective at the same time. Yes, more like that please.

Good point, in fact the ‘big reveal’ in STBY feels like it was a direct homage to a certain scene in Oh Lucky Man! . Although not quite as terrifying. Anyone who’s seen that movie will know exactly what I’m talking about. Brrr.

IS even wider and insidious than racism.  Fucking Kinja and its ticking-clock edit function

This movie fucking rules. It’s like one of those low-budget 80’s cult movies that used to get made— the ones that take wild chances and clearly don’t give a solitary fuck. The most (only) encouraging thing about it is that it is both eccentrically and insistently a ‘black’ movie, and yet it’s influences and targets…

The Village Voice has been dead for many, many years. As the article correctly states, the NewTimes purchase was a disaster. Almost overnight, the VV went from incredible local investigative journalism and culturally cutting edge cover stories like ‘The Ten Best Candies for People Who Can’t Do Carbs’. It was a…

‘..oysters are a type of food that I can eat monstrous quantities of, for whatever reason.’

Kang remembers some interviewer (maybe it was Will Harris?) asking Plummer what led him to participate in ‘Starcrash’, and his reply being essentially: ‘It was shooting in Rome, dipshit!’

And then just as he got his shit together— cancer???

Oh yeah, Kang lives for that line. Also, his epic silent long take after hearing Drax and Mantis describe their jobs as ‘kicking names and taking ass’ is one of the most glorious special effects in the entire movie.

Ronan, dear sir.  But otherwise acknowledged.

You make some solid points— Kang would say you’re half-right, and I’m half-wrong. On paper, yes Tony has changed. But the movies have a mixed record on execution of those changes. The worst example is post-Iron Man 3 (a movie that Kang really likes): Tony has PTSD and destroys all his suits. That development is…

Kang’s said this a zillion times, and he’ll say it again: Ronin was the perfect villain for GotG. No, he’s not multi-dimensional like he’s become in the comics. But that’s by design. The irreverence of the Guardians works best against an opponent who is humorless and charisma-free. They’re Delta House, he’s Dean…
