I'm reminded of Charlie Day challenging the lawyer to a duel in It's Always Sunny. I want his civil opponent to immediately accept and appoint the biggest, meanest motherfucker in NY as its champion, just to see the look on this goober's face.

Most comics have pretensions at least at being aimed to others than preteens. Fantastic Four doesn't. Fantastic Four should be a cartoon, something gentle for kids. At least the previous two movies realized this, and sucked for completely different reasons.

Resident Evil is a fun dumb action series and Jovovich is awesome as the lead. That is all.

I was going to write "Peter Principle" but "Faris Principle" was much more apropos.

Anna Faris was the "it" under-appreciated comedienne. Studios tried to force a perfectly competent second banana into a starring career, and now she's starring in a Chuck Lorre sitcom.

She's a very competent, funny actress who isn't a big enough star or conventionally beautiful enough to be distracting in any role. I'm sure she's pretty thrilled about consistently working in high profile movies. Please don't Faris Principle her into mediocrity.

I have to think one of the main reasons HBO chased Simmons was to boost its online presence. Simmons could post his grocery list and get a million hits.

If the reviewer doesn't examine this show from the perspective of a freshman taking his first liberal arts class, how else are we supposed to know how intelligent and enlightened he is?

Thank goodness you're here, Kyle, to protect the virtue of these fictional women. I'm certain they're grateful.

Yeah, Season 6 was probably already going to be a clusterfuck, what with the Bauer family reunion and all, but Siddig leaving really put a nail in it.

That tension was purely sexual.

I thought it was terrific when they just went weird and funny (Christopher Meloni, in particular) but were almost Friedberg/Seltzer when they tried to mock rom-com conventions.

Amy Schumer, like Tina Fey or Amy Poehler (and unlike, say, Lena Dunham or Anna Faris) is talented and funny and will be popular for a long while I think. Her publicist just needs to slow the fuck down and bloggers need to stop pretending that she's breaking new ground here.

Judd Apatow, the white people's Tyler Perry.

This. I loved The Wire as much as the next AV Club-ian, but the one thing they did wrong (in terms of realism) was having guys like Stringer, Joe, and the Greek. Anyone remotely high level like that isn't staying even remotely close to where local PD can track them. Maybe thirty years ago, but not now. Most guys…

No offense, but the drug trade is exactly as brutal as depicted in this movie. People get involved with it because of the sheer amount of money involved, despite knowing that prison or death are almost certainties on this side of the border.

This wasn't just a good movie. The Counselor is a great movie, one of the best of the 2000s. I'm imagining McCarthy watching his umpteenth movie about honorable criminals and just getting fed up with it and writing this one as a counter. Like most people, Fassbender's character expects the drug dealers he works for…

It isn't S1 lovers who are complaining.

Critics claimed that S1 didn't have enough female parts, which was a dumb criticism designed for pageviews. Instead of making a fake apology and promising the next season would be better, Pizzolatto told them to go fuck themselves. At that point, the hive mind determined it would get its vengence.

Yeah, just like those hacks Mamet and Tarantino.
