“It was a labor of love, and I would have done it for nothing actually,” the filmmaker asserts.

Royal Trux played a very challenging set that did not go well, because the audience was not receptive. Bob was completely oblivious and had no idea that the set was rough so he walked up to them when they were done, gave them a big hug, and said “Great set!” when it was very obviously not a great set at all. Royal…

Everything you say makes sense, and I can’t disagree with any of it.

“If you’re popular enough to attract the attention of the organization, wouldn’t that popularity, in most cases, also attract the sponsors?”

I guess the question is: how much would these players receive in sponsorships on their own, without any organizational support? In my experience, the reason I’ve agreed to let people take 85% to 95% of a deal is that receiving 5% to 15% of something is better for me than keeping 100% of nothing. If my options are to…

Roger Meyers Jr.: I have figured out how to rejuvenate the show. It’s so simple, you egghead writers would’ve never thought of it! What we need is... a new character! One that today’s kids can relate to!

“ This, the movies the article referenced, Fresh, Yellowjackets...”

I’m not mad at all that a guy spent money on something. I’m pointing out how pretentious it is for you to act as some sort of guardian for the human spirit. People can spend money. People can save money. It’s all good. But for you to patrol comment sections and decide who is helping the human spirit is ridiculous. Get…

Spot on. You’re completely right.

Thank you. I appreciate it. But that does not make the AV Club’s posting practices any better.

It’s so frustrating to click on these posts and there is no written component.

I mean — what’s your contribution to the human spirit? It’s not like you’re adding anything great with your post either.

Yep.

Greg Land.

Yep. “Stallone implies that he would never let them make a Drago spin-off if he were in charge...” I mean, why not? If it’s a good story, what does it matter whether it’s a Drago spin-off? I don’t understand the logic behind Stallone’s objection. Which characters are worthy of spin-offs: Adrian? Mickey? Paulie?

And thank you for all the awesome interviews -- hope you’re doing well!

Oh, nice! I stand corrected — thanks for the link!

Just FYI, “mods” is a common abbreviation for “modifications” but also for “moderators.” I was able to figure everything out, but it does get confusing when reading an article like this one where both terms are used so frequently.

Ronny Cox would have been the perfect subject of an AV Club “Random Roles” feature. Missed opportunity.
