And with that glorious sentence completed, the author set down their pencil and imagined Miss Shields writing ‘A+ A+ A+ A+ A+ A+...’ on the chalkboard.

Man I’m glad I don’t have to be able to prove to the internet that I’m still friends with coworkers from 25 years ago, because those fuckers all sucked.

Get outta here, Loch Ness Monster!

The Abyss is perfect to me.  It’s somewhere among my top 3 of Cameron’s.

At this point and about 3 different Star Wars continuities later, I sometimes think I prefer the often ridiculous, frequently bad, but usually fun pulpy thrills of the original Marvel Comics Star Wars stories.

“while his friend Mike (Adam Newhouse)“- uhh, who?

Anyone who puts Carla Gugino on my screen is a hero in my book. 

Remember: Stewart, Colbert and others were doing their shows during the LAST strike in ‘07-08

I like Aerosmith, but I would put them in the “has a good Best of album” category, instead of the “has 40 great songs” category.

I never read any Asimov. I’ve read a ton of sci-fi and fantasy fiction, just not his books.

In my day, it took an entire year for a movie to hit VHS and we hated liked it!

Again, another great movie I totally forget RDJ is in. It's my favorite Dangerfield movie.

The “implausible” part of this being that an Ubder driver/bartender can afford a house at all, in order to owe property taxes?

Dolores Claiborne is super underrated, just for how it takes an utterly unfilmable story and completely changes the focus so that the material can work as a movie, even adding a new major character that gives Christopher Plummer one of his best parts ever.

I honestly thought the link about diminishing media literacy was just going to link back to the AVC homepage.

Say what you want about Troy, but the duel between Hector and Achilles - the centerpiece of the film - was utterly perfect. One of the greatest fight scenes of all time, IMHO.

I’m very, very glad you included Time and Punishment, since it was a truly inexplicable omission from AVClub’s list that was pretty much universally agreed to in the comments as a massive mistake. Just by itself, “it’s raining again” is probably one of the show’s top 25 lines, maybe even top 10.
