Yeah, I remember my aunt complimenting me on how thin I looked when I was 16 or 17, and all I remember thinking at the time was “ah, so you’ve always considered me a little butterball but now that I’m (temporarily) thinner-looking you’re comfortable talking about my body.” Just...don’t talk about people’s weight. Say…

“before Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania snatched away that unhappy honor in 2o23.”

Rosebud...is the sled!

Uh, yeah, bud--Remake made that pretty clear.

Commenting, specifically on mobile, just...stopped working for me. It says I'm logged in, but whenever I attempt to star or post or reply I'm redirected to an endless "log in to comment!" loop. I thought I might have been shadow-banned--for saying tepidly cranky things about the writers, I guess?--but commenting…

I’m 100% certain that embedding links is the limit of AV Club writers' technological abilities. Taking/uploading a screenshot asks far, far too much of them.

No politician or holder of public office should appear on SNL.

What a weird fetish. Which of the ten or so “wait, who is this guy?” comments did you find most sexually gratifying?

I mean, if a coworker maliciously got me fired I don’t think I’d stop being pissed about it, no matter how long ago it was. (Honestly don’t know who dicked over whom, but is it really so weird to believe that someone would still be upset about it?)

“Autistic people hate pizza” is not a stereotype I had encountered before.

Yeah, maybe the character is autistic, maybe he isn’t, but being good with spreadsheets and bad with people does not an autistic person make. This article is a very gentle (and I think well-intentioned) version of it, but it drives me nuts when fans get presumptuous about their particular interpretations of characters…

Is this like when everyone decided Chris Pratt was the worst person in the world, except now with even less justification?

“Britney Spears continues to prove that she’s one of the least selfish famous people to ever exist, even though, after all she’s been through, a little righteous anger would be more than justified.”

But he’s such a staunch advocate for fReEdOm Of SpEeCh.

“So they make a vague statement about an unnamed game so they can avoid being counter-sued for slander.”

I like how we still pretend in 2024 that public figures don't pay people to write clever things on the internet for them.

My grandfather was a bomber navigator in the Italian theater. On his first mission, he was shot down over Montenegro, rescued by Tito’s partisans, semi-jokingly inducted into the Yugoslav Communist Party, and eventually smuggled over German lines and flown back to Italy. I always thought his story would make a hell of…

That’s always been the problem with Trump, and now just Republicans in general. You could parody Dubya-era Republicans because they were still clinging to a thin veneer of respectability. They, too, were shameless ghouls and con men, but they still behaved as if they could be shamed. Trump’s schtick has always been…

The Hollywood Reporter obit the author is plagiarizingreferencing included the same oversight, and it’s not like an AV Club writer is actually going to do the due diligence of fact-checking...anything, so what are you gonna do?

Wait...fucking Obi-Wan was nominated for an Emmy?
