I have a feeling I might appreciate these episodes more on a rewatch once everything airs, because after the fairly nice episode last week, I’m dangerously close to “I don’t give a shit” territory.

Given the other casting choices, I’m guessing this movie is being written in such a manner that leans into the absurdity and surrealism of the Mario games. So I get it in a way. He’s done that already in The Lego Movie, and he’s become a household name through his various roles in TV and movies.

Hey. This is great writing, and I know you’re already proud of it.

This is external validation in the form of a forum comment, tho. Also.

Superb write-up and a great example of honoring the depth and value of your subject with the intent and care of the reviewer. Badass work here. Just noting. 

Or you could just....I dunno, relax and not take it so seriously?

Bullshit on the “can’t be rehomed” nonsense. There are rescues that specialize in training and rehoming “difficult” dogs. Dogs that were trained to fight to the death have been successfully deprogrammed and transformed into loving pets.

This middle is a fascinating concept. Because it seems like Black people have tried standing in the middle, on the edge, all the way over on the other side, and every damn where else, and cops keep killing!

Squirrels are no laughing matter. Why, even Our Benevolent Overlord Victor Von Doom has been bested by squirrels...

“I lived them, it wasn’t so bad” - probably because you’re the exact type of person Reagan and his administration liked - a white, straight, neurotypical , middle class American man. I know it’s the big scary no-no word these days, but y’know what that’s called? Privilege. It’s best you start recognizing you lived a…

Why are you surprised? Isn’t finding bugs exactly what betta testing is for?

As an ethical stance about not letting writers harm themselves to produce reviews, it would carry more weight if it had been consistently applied over the years. Everyone has been happy to look the other way while critics were using PEDs to slam out reviews as we cheered them on. You think Ignatiy knocks out…

I applaud the AV Club stance on this!

Man... these videos are so well done but they just make me sad seeing a way more enjoyable game than what we have. I’m sure most of this isn’t something Nintendo can just throw together... but it’d be nice if they committed to making, like, any of these changes.

If a friend of mine were friends with someone who did what Louis CK did, I wouldn’t be friends with them anymore. Would you?

Palimpsest and haberdashery are entirely cromulent words and I will not have them so scurrilously impugned.

My mind isn’t changing. It’s a hard G.

and Magna and Connie wind up buried under tons of dirt and rock. (Don’t worry, they’re not dead. General rule of thumb: If the show doesn’t directly show someone dying, but instead teases it, they’re not dead.)

And yet another hot take of why JoJo is meh because “it’s not that good a Holocaust film” when it’s not trying to be a Holocaust film.

I wouldn’t agree with the assessment of “rookie mistakes” - it reminded me of any number of Davies episodes.

I admit, I had to read this twice to make sure Sacha Dhawan hasn't played Davros.
