I still love Troma (and especially Lloyd), but I’m realizing that I rarely actually throw on a Troma movie. I think I just really like the Troma folks themselves and what they stand for in regards to independent filmmaking, moreso than the product they put out.

It’s an absolute five-bagger cameo, and it’s nice to see the real experts get a say for once. 

Ooh, I do have some scorching hot takes on your aunt’s sciatica. For one: Sciatica is a less than preferable experience. Big Nerve Pain may want us to think otherwise, but brother, it’s the 90s, don’t let the stuffed suits in Washington tell you that sciatica is the jammin’ new thing for extreme teens.

I also have…

No, just let it be. I love The Crow and hold it to an unreachable standard, admittedly, but it really is such a product of its time that it was already too late to recapture it by the time the first sequel came out. Even the (understandable) messiness of the effects and editing lend to why it works for its fans. If…

I just want an answer to the story’s biggest mystery: How is Pennywise not lactose intolerant after eating so much Derry?

“...why else would Jim Carrey, someone who was not at the Oscars (as far as we know) and has no real stake in the drama, be getting headlines for talking about it?”

Oh wow, I had no idea, I’ll have to watch that.

I’m not convinced that this whole movie isn’t just a ruse to get people in the seats, at which point Jared Leto will turn to the camera and explain in extreme detail for the next two hours why his version of Joker is secretly the best one, and was simply far too Damaged™ for lamestream audiences to accept. 

They should just go ahead and make Nosferathree already.

He didn’t even say “Welcome to Earth” afterwards. What the hell, Will?

I want a more specific sequel, like “This Is That Two Week Period Where You Try Really Hard To Get Into Woodworking”. 

Still holding out for 3DO Land. The “Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties” rollercoaster is going to be siiiiiiick. 

And to be sure that his stage name doesn’t scare the kids away, he’ll be temporarily changing it to Reginald Zombie.

Okay, but is he going to, I dunno, stop ignoring obvious and repeated signs of disaster? Stop inciting these incidents in the first place by egging on young frenzied fans while being fully aware of the risks of death? Stop with the “I’m sorry that you’re mad at me” non-apologies? Because those seem like more effective…

I’ll watch it back to back with Beetlejuice 2: Beetledeuce for an “unnecessary belated sequel” night. 

I credit you for keeping the ghost of “classic” AV Club alive as well as you could, thanks for your work here! I’m open to the new batch, it takes a lot for me to give up an old haunt, but my issue was of course never with the staff. G/O is doing its level best to force us out bit by bit, but I’m holding on until the…

All I know is, if they don’t call it “Beetledeuce”, they already fucked up. 

Nailed it. Batman is my favorite comic book hero, always has been, but I desperately prefer the character to get the hell over himself these days. We’ve seen every possible angle of brooding in every possible corner of Gotham seventy-’leven times already. I’m okay with it here, since this is Young Bats, but I think…

I hope we get a good simulated version of this table some day. Even if I could afford the real one and had the space for it, maintaining pinball machines *sucks* unless you’re truly dedicated to the medium. 

True, but I can’t imagine they put any deeper consideration into that portrayal.
