The AV Club, a trailblazing independent publication in the 90s and the heir apparent to Rolling Stone in the 00s ... is now shilling for “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile”.

So, we hate her, right? She’s on the list? PLEASE AV CLUB JUST TELL ME WHO TO HATE

Fair. But people love superhero movies, and it’s not like they’re breaking new narrative ground on a regular basis.

Then you will miss out on some very enriching experiences, and will likely not grow in your tastes.

Different kind of distractions. When you’re at the movies, you can’t just pause the film and go to the kitchen for a snack. You don’t take out your phone and check your email (at least you’re not supposed to). There’s no one in the next room asking if you’ll be home next Wednesday. Basically, you’re there to see a…

Mad straight people on AV Club: how DARE Billy Eichner suggest this movie performed poorly at the box office because straight people didn’t show up!

About 1/5th of the country was dealing with the fallout from an unprecedented hurricane over the weekend; high winds, coastal flooding, storm surge, power outages, etc. I don’t think that should be ignored in the whole “why didn’t people go to the theatre” discussion.

“I don’t remember the last time an audience was that awkwardly silent during a bit.”

I think it’s also fair to point out that there’s actually plenty of gay rom-coms. This might be the first wide release one from a major studio, but people with active interest in the genre haven’t really been starved for them.

Since when do they not include a cast member in the credits if they're not featured in the episode?

The people actively fucking you don’t generally get subtlety.

Wait... hasn’t it been the AVClub’s go-to attitude that Avatar is remembered by nobody and that the forthcoming sequels were things that “nobody asked for”? They link other people who made the same arguments and leave out their own dumping on the film? “Ignore the fact that we’ve been shitting on this franchise all…

People are mean-spirited as hell about Avatar, but I don’t see the need to justify its existence in the context of mega-franchises like the MCU. It was never going to have the cultural impact of Marvel or Star Wars, two fictional settings dating back several decades to radically different (and less crowded) pop…

Smiling is pretty weird when you think about it. Most animals bare their teeth as a show of aggression, not geniality.

Do people really care that a star & director didn’t like each other? Jesus, never watch any classic Hollywood movie.

That necklace looks heavy.

“Has any movie ever dominated the news cycle so far in advance of its release quite like Greta Gerwig’s Barbie?”
